Abstract: The essential oils of different organs of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) including flowers, leaves and stems, were extracted using methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 31 volatile compounds were identified, including 4 moneterpenes, 17 sesquiterpenes, 6 moneterpenes derivations, 2 sesquiterpenes derivations and 2 esters. However, the volatile compositions of the essential oils were different. The flower essential oil contained the highest number of volatiles (31) while the leaf essential oil contained the highest amount of volatiles (2 334.48 ng/g). Germacrene, caryophyllene, α-copaene and linalyl acetate were the dominant volatiles in the different essential oils, which made different contributions to them.
