Background
The composition and activities of essential oil of common sage from Saudi Arabia have not yet been reported.
Objectives
To analyze the composition and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of essential oil from leaves of the common sage
Methods
Essential oil was extracted from the leaves of
Results
The yield of essential oil was 3.24 ± 0.55% (w/dry weight). Major compounds identified were camphor (20.3%), 1,8-cineole (15.0%), α-thujone (14.9%), viridiflorol (9.9%), carvone (6.2%), and β-thujone (5.7%). Phenolic content was 134.3 ± 17.61 μg/mL and flavonoid content was 119.5 ± 18.75 μg/mL. Antioxidant IC50 was 970 ± 5.5 μg/mL. The highest gram-positive antibacterial activity was for
Conclusions
Essential oil of
