Sage leaves contain essential oil (up to 2.5%), the main components of which are l-a-thujone and d-b-thujon (about 50%). Among the monoterpenic components of the essential oil, 1,8-cyneol (up to 15%) is of particular value. In addition, the essential oil contains borneol, D-camphor, bronelatsitat, and also found triceclical borneol sesquiterpene cedrine. Sage leaves also contain diterpenes. The second group of ALS, among which is characterized by carnosol (picrosalvin), carnosolic acid, causing antimicrobial and bitter properties. The sage roots also contain diterpers, represented by royleanone (quinone), which has a red color.
