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...
