Fresh aerial parts of Angelica glauca, growing wild in Kashmir valley in higher Himalaya (Jammu and Kashmir, India), collected at flowering stage from different locations, on hydro-distillation provided a refreshing light pale coloured essential oil with characteristic floral woody flavour. The oil was found to be a complex mixture of mono- and sesquiterpenes and 34 compounds accounting for nea...

Hydrodistilled essential oil from Rhododendron anthopogonoides Maxim. (Ericaceae) aerial parts was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 42 compounds, accounting for 95.48% of the total oil, were identified. The main constituents of the essential oil were benzyl acetone (34.41%), nerolidol (10.19%), 1,4-cineole (8.41%), beta-caryophyllene (5.63%), gamma-elemene (5...

ABSTRACT: Varronia curassavica is a medicinal species native to Brazil; its anti-inflammatory properties are attributed α-humulene and β-caryophyllene. This study investigated the population variability of V. curassavica. Leaves were collected from 40 individuals natural transferred glass flasks (2 mL). The volatiles extracted analyzed using static headspace gas chromatography coupled with mass...

Scots pine has been shown to produce a volatile bouquet that attracts egg parasitoids in response to oviposition of the herbivorous sawfly Diprion pini. Previous analyses of headspace volatiles of oviposition-induced pine twigs revealed only quantitative changes; in particular, the sesquiterpene (E)-beta-farnesene was emitted in significantly higher quantities by oviposition-induced pine. Here ...

Marrubium cuneatum Banks & Sol. is a perennial plant belonging to the Iran-Turan phytogeographical region, which distributed in limited region Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Turkey, Iraq and Iran). The chemical composition of essential oil (Lamiaceae) from Turkey was characterized. Hydro-distilled analysed simultaneously by gas chromatography (GC) chromatography-mass spectromet...

Background & Aim: Melissa officinalis L. (lemon balm) a valuable medicinal plant in herbal medicine is native to the eastern Mediterranean region and western Asia. It is a traditional herbal medicine, which enjoys contemporary usage as a mild sedative, spasmolytic and antibacterial agent. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of climate on quality and q...

The genus Satureja is represented by fifteen species of which five are endemic and Satureja pilosa and S. icarica have recently been found as new records for Turkey. Aerial parts of the Satureja pilosa, S. icarica, S. boissieri and S. coerulea collected from different localities in Turkey were subjected to hydrodistillation to yield essential oils which were subsequently analysed by GC and GC/M...

Podocarpus is the most dominant genus of Podocarpaceae, with higher taxonomical proximity to Taxaceae, having numerous pharmaceutical applications, however, scarce studies dealing physiological and metabolic criteria in Egypt were reported. Thus, objective this work was assess metabolical patterns different species Podocarpus; P. gracilior, elongates, macrophyllus neriifolius. The highest terpe...

Background Anthriscus caucalis is a non-native plant in North America with invasive potential. As part of our interests essential oils the Great Basin, wild-growing sample A. was collected southwestern Idaho. Methods The obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed gas chromatographic methods (GC–MS, GC–FID, chiral GC–MS). Results major components oil were cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (42.3%), myrce...
