Abstract
The essential oil composition of Seseli rhodopeum was studied by GC and GC/MS. The oil was characterized by a high amount of monoterpene hydrocarbons (84.7%), of which sabinene was the major component with a concentration of 51.3%. α-Pinene (11.8%) and α-phellandrene (10.3%) were also dominant compounds in the oil.
The antibacterial activity of the oil was tested against a set of four reference strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria on Müller-Hinton agar.
Moderate activity was obtained against S. aureus ATCC 27853.
