Comparative Examination of Phytochemical Composition of Satureja L. in the Flora of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic

Data are presented on the biomorphoecological characteristics, comparative phytochemical composition, distribution, pharmacological effects, and the possibility of use in scientific and folk medicine of species belonging to the genus Satureja L. of the genus LamiaceaeLindl. The object of study are 2 species common in the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan: Satureja macrantha C. A. Mey. (large-flowered savory) and Satureja hortensis L. (garden savory). The current state of populations of large-flowered and garden mint species has been studied, and environmental changes have been identified. To carry out the chemical composition, plants of these species were dried, crushed and prepared for analysis in the laboratory under standard conditions. The oil was extracted and analyzed by hydrodistillation (Ginsberg). The resulting oil was analyzed on a chromatographic installation Crystal 2000 M. Essential oils were isolated and analyzed. The substances under study are used in medicine.
