Abstract
The oil composition of three genotypes of Mentha x verticillata were analyzed by means of GC/MS. The oil of all genotypes was characterized by high percentages of menthol. Several mono- and sesquiterpenes were also identified and among them limonene, menthone, menthyl acetate, germacrene D and β-caryophyllene were the most abundant.Keywords
