The essential oil of Geranium sylvaticum L. (Geraniaceae) was isolated by hydrodistillation (HD) and microwave distillation (MD). The composition of the volatile oils was characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS. A total of 73 and 70 compounds were identified, constituting over 90.3% and 98.7% of oil composition of G. sylvaticum, respectively. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were shown to be the main group of constituents (HD: 31.7% and MD: 39.8%). The major component of the oils of G. sylvaticum was \gamma -muurolene (HD: 10.9% and MD: 19.6%). The comparative study showed that the amount of total volatiles (98.7%) and the major constituent (39.8%) were …
