Seasonal Changes in Essential Oil Constituents of <i>Cystoseira compressa</i>: First Report

Marine macroalgae are well known to release a wide spectrum of volatile organic components, the release of which is affected by environmental factors. This paper aimed to identify the essential oil (EO) compounds of the brown algae <i>Cystoseira compressa</i> collected in the Adriatic Se...
