Summary: It's of graet interest to find correlation between the free terpene alcohols and bound as terpene glycosides in the same plant. The investigation of monoterpene glycosides occuring in Mentha piperita, Mentha aquatica, Salvia officinalis, Satureja montana and Thymus serpyllum show the same terpene alcohols glycosidically bound and free in the essential oils; like menthol,thymol and carvacrol. The geraniol was detected in Thymus serpyllum and Satureja montana only. Investigations of the essential oil as well as terpene glycosides of Thymus pulegioides, grown wild in continental region of Dalmatia show relative large content of geraniol (44.66%) and linalol(28.61%). So this Thymus pulegioides should be more valued for its perfume oil, then for its medicinal properties.

Keywords: ESSENTIAL OILS, TERPENE GLYCOSIDES, TERPENE ALCOHOLS, GC-MS

Research goals: The investigations of the terpene glycosides and terpene alcohols in the wild plants of Dalmatia have great importance. It is interesting to investigate an accurate and simple method for the isolation, purification and detection of terpene glycosides. So it is possible to find correlation between free and bound terpene alcohols during the biological evolution of the plant. From the practical point of view it is necessary to make accurate values of isolated components so they should be better used in pfarmaceutical or food or perfume industries
