Chemical composition of the essential oil of Stachys inflata Benth. from Iran

In order to investigate essential oils from local wild plants, one of the Stachys species, S. inflata, was screened. The essential oil was obtained from the aerial parts of the plant by hydro-distillation, and was analyzed for their chemical composition by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Were the major compounds of the 51 identified components which accounted for 100% of the total oil of S. inflata. The major components of the oil were Caryophyllene oxide (13.43%), E-citral (13%), Z-citral (12.9%), Spathulenol (10.65%), ar-Curcumine (6.51%), 1, 8-Cineol (4.89%), limonene (4.6%), and α-Terpineol (2.55%).
