This study was carried out to determine the chemical composition of five different types of herbal plants collected from Al-Gabal Al-Khder region (Libya). Both of leaves and steams of each plant were selected during this investigation.
The samples collected during winter and spring (2013) and including (Thymy, Rosemary, Salvia, Marjoram and Hybrid tea rose). The total lipid content, Natural Fibers, total protein addition to the acidic Fibers were measured.
The obtained data showed that, the contents of total Protein, Natural fibers, acidic fibers and total Lipid contents of the leaves were (19%, 60.12 %, 14.2% and 6.70%) , respectively. While the contents of the studied compounds of steam samples were (6.53%, 51.2%, 38.4% and 3.84%), respectively. The study concluded that the leaves containing high values of the investigated compounds compared with the steams samples,
