Abstract

Gas liquid chromatographic analysis of spearmint oil revealed that the oil of this species has 13 different derivatives. The untreated control plants expressed all of them except phellandrene, which present in the bioagents treatment; the later showed the absence oflimonene and menthone. The least concentration value was noticed with caryophellene (1.072 %). Gas liquid chromatographic analysis of peppermint oil expressed different 13 derivatives. ß-purine was detected in this species but not in spearmint one. Menthol showed the highest concentrations were 10.333 and 10.255 respectively. The least values were recorded with Limonene (1.804 and 0.325 %) for the control and bioagent treated plants respectively.
