The paper provides the information on the component composition of ethereal oil of Satureja hortensis cultivated in Zhytomyr Polissya. In the ethereal oil of summer savory, 19 components were identified: carvacrol (89,07%), γ-terpinene (3,53%), α-thujone (1,7%), camphora (1,48%), terpinen-4 ol 4 (0,91%), β-bisabolen (0,56%), β-caryophyllene (0,45%), bitsiklogermakren (0,38%) para-cymene (0,34%), 1,8-cineole (0,33%), trans-sabinengidrat (0.25%), 1-octen-3-ol (0.20%), spatulenol (0,18%), β-thujone (0,14%), eugenol (0,11%), geranylacetate (0,11%), humulene (0,09%), α-terpinene (0,09%), octanol-3 (0,07%). A high carvacrol content determines antimicrobial properties of summer savory.
