This study presents the determination of proximate composition, amino acids, fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols, glucosinolate and phenolic content in extracts obtained from different aerial parts of C. decidua, as well as their antidiabetic and antioxidant activity.

Volatile constituents of two rare subspecies of Thymus praecox.

Hydrodistilled essential oil and the corresponding headspace volatiles of Bosnian wild growing Thymus praecox ssp. polytrichus (A. Kern.

Chemical composition of the essential oil of Stachys menthifolia Vis.

Stachys menthifolia Vis. (Lamiaceae) is an endemic species from the Balkan Peninsula spread throughout Albania, Greece, Montenegro, and Croatia. This article presents the first investigation of the essential oil composition of this species from Croatia.

Influence of the continental climatic conditions on the essential-oil composition of Salvia brachyodon Vandas transferred from Adriatic Coast.

Essential-oil profile of Salvia brachyodon Vandas, an endemic Dinaric species transferred from Adriatic Coast to the continental climatic conditions, was determined. Hydrodistilled oils obtained from the plant material collected in three-year field trial were subjected to the detailed GC/MS analysis. Hundred and fifty volatile compounds were identified in four samples.
