Description
Summary:[...]it is well known that the composition of essential oils and concentration of volatile compounds in Salvia sp. depends not only on genetic and seasonal factors but also on environmental conditions (Ramezani et al., 2020), although with the accelerating climate change this can potentially be problematic for the future production and use of these oils in the pharmaceutical and food industry (Karalija et al., 2022). Sage grows mostly wild in mountain areas in Albania, but several initiatives to cultivate it have recently taken place due to the increased demand for its essential oil (EO). [...]the knowledge on the quality of EOs of sage populations and the effect of microclimatic conditions on their chemical composition, would be relevant for the sage cultivation initiatives and other related industries in the country. [...]the current study aims to study chemical polymorphism of natural populations of S. officinalis in Southern Albania, and to investigate the influence of climatic conditions on foreground temperature and precipitation in the selected locations on the variation of the EO components. The analytical gas chromatographic analyses of isolated essential oils of sage were carried out on GC V 450 instrument equipped with a flame ionization detector and split-splitless injector, attached to aVF-1ms capillary column (30 m x 0.33 mm x 0.25 pm).
