Water‐distilled essential oils of nine samples of Acinos alpinus (L.) Moench, collected from the Aegean region of Turkey, were analysed by GC–MS. One‐hundred‐and‐twenty compounds, which amounted to 84.4–92.8% of the total components detected were identified. The main constituents were found as germacrene‐D (3.5–39.8%), hexadecanoic acid (3.7–24.3%) and thymol (10.9–15.3%). Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
