Abstract
This work aims to evaluate the composition of the essential oils of certain mints grown in the region of Settat Morocco and
to determine their chemical compositions. The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation have an average yield of: 2.93% for
Mentha pulegium, 1.23% for Mentha piperita and 0.91% for Mentha spicata. Analyzes of oils by GC-MS, showed the presence of
several components including Menthone (42.97%) and Menthol (27.64%) are the major components of Mentha piperita, piperitone
(31.27%) and piperitenone (22.98%) were obtained as the major compounds of Mentha pulegium, and so the main essential oil
compounds of Mentha spicata are carvone (33.14%) and trans-Carveol (20.06%).
Keywords: Essential oils, Chemical composition, GC-MS, Mentha piperita, Mentha pulegium e, Mentha spicata.
