Objective: Satureja montana L. is well-known for its essential oil contents and dermatological benefits. Main components of its essential oil are borneol, carvacrol, thymol, γ-terpinen, p-cymen. Our objective is to develop a Gas/Fid analytical method for quantification and identification of main components of Satureja montana L. essential oil. Methods: Essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation of Satureja montana L. using Clevenger apparatus. Analyses of essential oil and validation method were developed by GC/FID apparatus tip Varian 3800. Results: The validation process; linearity, optimization of GC/FID parameters of method proposed, precision and accuracy results were statistically significant. Conclusion: The method proposed were found appropriate for GC/FID analyses of Satureja montana L.
