Abstract

The essential oil of aerial parts of Laserpitium latifolium L. from Serbia, obtained by hydro distillation, was analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID applying liquid injection mode; thirty-four compounds were registered (99.9% of the total oil). The essential oil clearly belongs to the monoterpenoid chemotype, with monoterpenoids constituting 99.8% of the total oil. Sabinene (47.8%), α-pinene (25.0%) and β-pinene (7.1%) were the major constituents.
