Hyssopus officinalis L., hyssop, essential oil, cis-pinocamphone, GC/MS, GC/FIDAbstract
The plants of Hyssopus officinalis L. were grown in the herb garden at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Lublin, Poland. The oil obtained with the use of steam distillation from the air-dried, aerial parts of hyssop was analysed by the means of GC/MS and GC/FID techniques. Sixty-nine components were found, representing 99.7% of the essential oil and sixty-three of them were identified. The major constituents were identified as cis-pinocamphone (48.6%), elemol (7.4%), β-pinene (6.1%), 1,8-cineole (5.8%) and caryophyllene oxide (5.2%).
