Abstract:ObjectiveThe essential oils from Nepeta cataria L. were extracted by steam distillation.MethodsThe chemical constituents were analyzed by GCMS. Then the percentage content of composition of essential oil was determined by GC normalization method. ResultsThe constituents were identified by GCMS. 58 components were separated , identified and accounted for over 86.23%. Conclusion By analyzing the essential oil of Nepeta cataria L., the scientific foundations were provided for further development of the plant not only as a kind of food but also a kind of medicine.
