The influence of the stage of inflorescence development, the duration and number of extractions and the temperature of the process were established for the extraction of fresh plants of clary sage ( Salvia sclarea L.). Petroleum ether was used as a solvent. It was found out that the inflorescence development influenced the content of the extractable substances more than the quantity of the main component–sclareol–in this concrete. The basic amount of concrete was obtained during the first extraction. The clary sage had to be extracted not more than two or three times, because undesirable changes occurred in the composition thereafter–the quantity of sclareol and linalyl acetate decreased and the paraffins in the concrete increased for each further extraction. The temperature of the process and the duration of the extraction were not decisive factors for the yield of the concrete.
