Perilla frutescens essential oil was studied in this work for its physico-chemical characteristics andcomposition. The essential oil was obtained yields by 0.1%. The physico-chemical properties of theoil were also discovered including the physico-chemical parameters averaged 0.944 g/cm3 for specificgravity, acid index (9.185 mg KOH/g), ester index (28.66 mg KOH/g), refractive index (1.4976).Thought gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results revealed that the oil is extremelyrich in myristicin (43.896%), elemicin (28.793%), α-caryophyllene (8.327%), perillaldehyde (7.973%),(Z,E)-farnesene (2.807%), D-limonene (1.043%). The results showed that the morphologicalcharacteristics and the polymorphism in the essential oil composition of perilla leaves were reliant onthe harvesting time and geographical cultivate. Perilla essential oil is antioxidant, antibacterial andused in many studies, helping to find its effect on Alzheimer′s disease, memory loss, concentrationand anti-depressive concentration, because it contains unique compounds as above
