Abstract: In this research leaf essential oil and fatty acid compositions of Micromeria fruticosa subsp. serpyllifolia, Ballota nigra subsp. anatolica and Nepeta crinita were analyzed by GC/GC-MS. Pulegone (25.62%) and Piperitone (10.26%) were detected the main compounds of Micromeria fruticosa subsp. serpyllifolia; b-caryophyllene (20.45%), germacrene D (16.20%) and caryophyllene oxide (10.55%) were detected the major constituents of Ballota nigra subsp. anatolica; b-caryophyllene (16.90%), germacrene D (10.89%) and nepetalactone (10.56%) were determined the main compounds of Nepeta crinita. The average major fatty acid composition of studied samples were found to be Palmitic (29.42%), Steraic (11.70%), Petroselinic (23.10%), Linoleic (10.04%) and Linolenic acid (23.50%); while other fatty acids were found in small proportions.
