Abstract
The aerial parts of Ledum palustre L. were collected near to Pudisoo River, Harju country, Estonia, in September 2007. The simultaneous distillation and extraction micro-method (SDE) was used to isolate the essential oil from the plant's samples. The capillary gas chromatographic (GC/FID) analysis was applied to the identification of oil components and determination of their content in the oil. The yield of oil from the leaves was 0.92%, from the stems, 0.24% and from the shoots, 0.78%. A total of 68 constituents, accounting for over 95% of the total oil yield, were identified in the oils.
