The essential oil of aerial parts of Calamintha origanifolia Boiss. (Lamiaceae), growing wild in Lebanon, was obtained by hydrodistillation and was analysed by GC and GC-MS. 49 compounds, representing 92.2% of the oil, were identified. The major components, belonging to the class of oxygenated monoterpenes, were pulegone (22.5%), isomenthone (12.2%) and piperitenone (9.6%). The oil showed a slight antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains.

Abstract
The essential oil of aerial parts of Calamintha origanifolia Boiss. (Lamiaceae), growing wild in Lebanon, was obtained by hydrodistillation and was analysed by GC and GC-MS. 49 compounds, representing 92.2% of the oil, were identified. The major components, belonging to the class of oxygenated monoterpenes, were pulegone (22.5%), isomenthone (12.2%) and piperitenone (9.6%). The oil showed a slight antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains.
