In this present study, the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of the essential oils of Salvia aethiopis, Salvia blepharochlaena and Salvia euphratica collected from Turkey were evaluated According to the GC-MS analyses, 20 components (representing 98.2%) were characterized in the essential oil of S. aethiopis. The major compounds of this essential oil were determined as α-copaene (18,2%), α-cubebene (12,4 %), spathulenol (12.3%), respectively. The main components of the S. blepharochlaena essential oil were determined as 1,8-cineole (26.8 %), cis-ocimene (15.3 %) and β-pinene (7.9%), respectively. Main components of S. euphratica oil were characterized as cis-sabinol (21.9 %), myrcenyl acetate (17.5 %), and 1,8 cineole (9.5 %). Antioxidant activity evaluations by β-carotene and radical scavenging assays showed that Salvia sp. essential oils prevent linoleic acid oxidation up to 19, 22, and 21%, respectively.
