The percentage yields of the essential oils from sage leaves harvested at different years were 1.0%, 1.3%, 1.3%, 1.0%, 1.4%, 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively. In this study, 1,8-cineole, camphre, camphene alpha-pinene and beta-pinene were identified as the major components of sage leaves collected at different periods. The main constituents of sage oil collected over the years were 1,8-cineole (35.01-48.06%), camphre (13.58-23.92%), camphene (6.77-8.82%), alpha-pinene (5.79-8.54%) and beta-pinene (4.32-6.28%).en10.1080/14786419.2011.643309info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesssageSalvia aucheri L.leavesharvest periodsessential oilchemical composition1,8-cineoleArticle26191852185622165850Q2WOS:000308988500015Q3
