Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Cultivated Summer Savory (Satureja hortensisL. cv. Saturn)

The influence of water stress on plant height, herbal and essential oil yield and composition in Satureja hortensis L.

“…The results obtained in this study indicate that the quality and quantity of volatile oils of S. hortensis from Iran are comparable with those found in areas where it is grown commercially 4,10 and this crop is therefore capable of giving an acceptable product when especially grown under different water stress conditions…”

Chemical composition and antifungal effects of three species of Satureja (S. hortensis, S. spicigera, and S. khuzistanica) essential oils on the main pathogens of strawberry fruit

“…(Sefidkon and Jamzad, 2005). There are many reports on the composition of essential oils of the aerial parts and leaves of savory species from different parts of the world (Góra et al, 1996;Hajhashemi et al, 2002;Hajhashemi et al, 2000). Tozlu et al (2011) and Hadian et al (2010) reported carvacrol, g-terpinene, pcymene, and a-terpinene as the main components of S. hortensis essential oil.…”

Volatile constituents of Satureja isophylla and S. cuneifolia from Iran

“…Carvacrol has also been found as the major component of some other Satureja species such as two subspecies of S. montana [15], S. cilicical [16], and S. hortensis [17].…”
