Free Volatile Compounds of <i>Veronica austriaca</i> ssp. <i>jacquinii</i> (Baumg.) Eb. Fisch. and Their Biological Activity
The composition of free volatile compounds of essential oils (EO) and hydrosols (Hy) from four different localities of the species <i>Veronica austriaca</i> ssp. <i>jacquinii</i> (Baumg.) Eb. Fisch. were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. In the EO...

The composition of free volatile compounds of essential oils (EO) and hydrosols (Hy) from four different localities of the species <i>Veronica austriaca</i> ssp. <i>jacquinii</i> (Baumg.) Eb.
