@ARTICLE{, TITLE={Specificity of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) essential oil indigenous to Corsica and Sardinia}, AUTHOR={Joseph Casanova, Félix Tomi, }, JOURNAL={Phytochemistry}, VOLUME={1}, NUMBER={Issue 1}, YEAR={2018}, URL={https://openscience.fr/Specificity-of-rosemary-Rosmarinus-officinalis-L-essential-oil-indigenous-to}, DOI={}, ISSN={}, ABSTRACT={The distinctiveness of Rosmarinus officinalis L from Corsica and Sardinia is known since a long time and the essential oil (EO) isolated from flowering tops is known as “Rosemary EO, verbenone chemotype”. Verbenone is accompanied by ∝-pinene and bornyl acetate. The aim of this review is to compile the various compositions reported in the literature, all of these containing the three representative components but in concentrations which substantially varied from sample to sample (collective oil samples from industrial sources or laboratory made individual samples). Finally, oil samples containing verbenone and/or bornyl acetate, isolated from plants growing in other countries than Corsica and Sardinia are briefly reported.}}
