Abstract

The analysed essential oil in this study was obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Santolina rosmarinifolia L. (Asteraceae) collected from Hodna area of Algeria. This species is a medicinal herb traditionally used in Algeria. Its essential oil has been analyzed by combining GC-FID and GC-MS. The analysis led to the identification of eighty-two components, representing 91.84% of the whole composition of the sample. The main components were capillene (32.8%), 1,8-cineole (15.1%) and β-myrcene (14.0%).
