The aim of this study was the comparison of essential oil of one herb from lamiaceae family namely Rosemary, via supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and hydrodistillation (HD). The essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The compounds identified in higher relative abundance were,α-pinene (HD: 30.42%, SFE: 0.47%), 1,8-cineole (HD: 15.46%, SFE: 25.05%),Verbenone (HD: 13.09%, SFE: 5.17%), Camphor (HD: 8.97%, SFE:15.69%), Borneol (HD: 7.16%, SFE: 9.15%) and β∋-Caryophyllene (SFE: 6.85%).
