Recently, Satureja kermanica (Kerman savory or ezgen) has been identified as a new species from south-east of Iran using morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. The essential oils have many applications in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. The analysis and identification of the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) was performed using the (GC-MS). Fifteen components were identified representing 99.6% of the entire essential oil composition, 95.39% of monoterpenes, 2.35% of sesquiterpenes and 1.86% of other compounds. The EOs of S. kermanica were dominated by the presence 51.30% thymol and 25.88% γ-Terpinene as major constitutes accounting for 77.81% of total oil components. The other compounds of essential oils were p-cymene (5.45%) carvacro (4.28%), α- terpinene (3.23%), (E)-caryophyllene (2.35%), β- pinene (1.75%), α- thujene (1.53%) and n-nonadecane (1.13%).The presence of thymol, γ-Terpinene, p-cymene, carvacrol, α- Terpinene and (E)-caryophyllene, as main essential oils in lamiaceae family, in this new species indicate to its significant activities in food, cosmetics and medicine industries.
