Abstract. The water-destilled essential oil of sage (Salvia officinalis
L.) grown in Serbia was analyzed by GC/MS. The major constituents of oil
were alpha-thujone (24,88%), camphor (16,03%) and 1,8-cineole (9,79%).
The essential oil (2% and 1% in ethylene glycol) from the sage leaves was
found to be active against Bacillus subtilis S, Staphylococcus aureus 6538,
Escerichia coli 95, Salmonella enteritidis and Aspergillus niger.
Key words: Salvia officinalis; Sage; Essential oil; Antimicrobial
activity; alpha-thujone.
