The volatile oil of the leaves, and also the twigs, of amabilis fir consists mainly of (−)-β-phellandrene, (+)-car-3-ene, (−)-β-pinene, (−)-α-pinene, myrcene, (−)-limonene, terpinolene, β-sesquiphellandrene, and β-bisabolene. Smaller relative amounts of santene, tricyclene, camphene, sabinene, α-phellandrene, cis- and trans-ocimene, γ-terpinene, linalool, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, bornyl acetate, methyl thymol, thymol, α-cubebene, α-copaene, caryophyllene, humulene, and cadinene–muurolene isomers and their corresponding alcohols were also identified. The presence of three minor diterpene hydrocarbons and manool was indicated by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry.The quantitative variation within trees, between trees, and among northern, central, and southern populations was determined. The high tree-to-tree variability obscures any significant (P = 0.05) geographic trend that may exist. Several qualitative and many significant quantitative differences exist between the leaf oil compositions of amabilis, grand, alpine, and balsam firs andpossibly also noble, white, and California red firs, and these can serve well in chemosystematic studies.

Gas chromatographic analysis of the volatile oil of the leaf oil of lodgepole pine from the Rocky Mountains showed 1-β-phellandrene (34%) and 1-β-pinene (30.5%) as major components. Lesser amounts of α-pinene (6.5%), myrcene (3%), cis-ocimene (2.5%), 3-carene (1.5%), terpinolene (1%), γ-terpinene (0.3%), α-terpineol (4%), terpinen-4-ol (0.5%), estragole (0.5%), bornyl acetate (0.5%), linalool (0.3%), a mixture of cadinene isomers (5%), cadinol and muurolol isomers (1.5%), nerolidol (0.6%), and tentatively identified camphene, α-phellandrene, limonene, isopulegol, camphene hydrate, citronellol, bisabolol, and cis- and trans-farnesol were recorded. In addition, hex-2-en-1-al (1.5%) and cis-hex-3-en-1-ol (1%) were isolated, but these may be artefacts because the leaves had to be cut to obtain a high yield of oil. The variation in the relative amounts of terpenes in leaves at different heights on a tree was small. Quantitative analysis of 10 samples per population showed a relatively high tree-to-tree variation, but similar mean values for populations in the Bragg Creek – Kananaskis – Eisenhower Junction area of Alberta. Small, but possibly significant differences were recorded for the samples from the Cypress Hills. Populations north of Lake Louise Station to Jasper, Hinton, and Edson were found to contain a few individuals with terpenes characteristic of jack pine. This indicates that the effects of introgression of lodgepole and jack pine can be detected further southwest than previously reported.

The natural drying of Rosmarinus officinalis Linn. herbs severely affects its volatile oil quality and yields, which is reported here for the first time. The oils obtained through hydrodistillation from fresh, one, two, and three-weeks dried herbs were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) and gas chromatography–flame ionization detector (GC-FID), and the yields were 198 ± 3.45, 168.7 ± 5.11, and 97.8 ± 1.27 mg, respectively, as compared to the internal referral standard of 327 ± 5.91 mg yield of the one-week dried herbs’ oil. Camphor, the major constituent, significantly depleted from 20.96% to 13.84%, while bornyl acetate yields increased from 1.42% to 12.46% (p values < 0.0001) in three-weeks drying, reflecting the redox processes undergoing within the oil during drying. Several constituents (25) were found in one-week dried herbs’ oil as compared to the fresh, two-, and three-weeks oils, which consisted of 23, 19, and 14 constituents, respectively, leading to the recommendation of the one-week drying of the herb for maximum oil yield. The DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl) reactivity was highest for the two- and three-weeks dried herb-based oils, followed by the one-week dried- and fresh-herb-based oils (p < 0.0001), again indicating major chemical changes during herbs’ dryings, affecting the free-radical scavenging capacity of these batches of oils obtained after different drying times.

Leaf Oil

The volatile leaf oil of the grand fir consists mainly of (−)-α-pinene, (−)-camphene, (−)-β-pinene, (−)-β-phellandrene, (−)-bornyl acetate, cadinene and muurolene isomers, and two cubebol isomers. Santene, tricyclene, myrcene, car-3-ene, limonene, terpinolene, p-cymene, camphenolene aldehyde, camphor, borneol, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, citronellyl and geranyl acetate, α-cubebene, α-copaene, calamenene, and two farnesol isomers were also isolated. Attempts to identify these terpenes with a combined gas chromatograph – mass spectrometer failed to give unequivocal data and identities had to be confirmed by isolation and recording of other spectra. Except for β-pinene and β-phellandrene, within-tree and tree-to-tree variation of terpene percentages was relatively small. The leaf oil terpene composition appears to be well suited to determine geographical variation. Only minor differences were recorded between some northern coastal and interior populations, but samples from south-central Oregon showed major differences that are indicative of introgression with white fir.

Unique Chemical

The major components of the leaf oil of the Ashe juniper were found to be d-camphor (42.1 %), d-bornyl acetate (22.5%), d-limonene (8.4%), tricyclene (4.8%), d-camphene (4.4%), d-borneol (2.9%), p-cymene (2.8%), d-α-myrcene (1.8%), d-α-pinene (1.7%), and d-camphene hydrate (1.5%). This appears to be the first time that the latter alcohol has been isolated from a natural source. Smaller amounts of linalool, carvone, elemol, and traces of trans-2-methyl-6-methylene-3,7-octadien-2-ol were also identified. Several alcohols having terminal methylene groups were isolated in trace amounts.The monoterpenes found in this oil are not typical for the genus Juniperus and this result offers a unique chemical approach to the study of introgression of the Ashe juniper with other juniper species.

The essential oils from the leaf, stem-bark and twig of Terminalia mantaly were isolated by hydrodistillation. The volatile oils analysed on Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometer (GC - MS). The identified constituents were twelve, twenty-three and seventeen for the leaf, stem-bark and twig and accounted for 89.57%, 95.77%, 95.92% respectively. Hexahydrofarnesylacetone (30.05%) and Z-pinane (16.71%) were the main constituents in the leaf oil and nonanal (21.16%) and heptanal (10.57%) were principal component in the stem-bark volatile oil. Xylene isomers namely, meta and para (21.98%-23.56%) were the major components of the twig with substantial amount of nonanal (13.64%).

Common Juniper

The volatile leaf oil of the local common juniper was found to consist mainly of α-pinene (73 to 83%) and smaller amounts (0.5 to 5%) of β-pinene, 3-carene, myrcene, limonene, methyl citronellate, bornyl acetate, myrtenal, myrtenol, myrtenyl acetate, α-terpineol, citronellol, citronellyl acetate, nerolidol, farnesol, and an unusual hydroxy ketone. Of the many trace constituents, β-phellandrene, citronellal, "iso-" citronellal, linalool, geraniol, isopulegol, 4-terpinenol, and ε-cadinene were isolated, whereas camphene, sabinene, α-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene, p-cymene, fenchone, thujone, isothujone and δ-cadinene could only be tentatively identified.There was little variation in the quantitative composition of the leaf oil from one plant to another. Since the composition of this oil differs significantly from that of other juniper leaf oils, chemotaxonomic studies by means of leaf oil analysis are feasible.

And Storage

The chemical composition of the volatile oils of the leaves and twigs of western hemlock and the variations caused by transportation and storage, and those found within trees and within populations, were determined. Whereas the leaf oil was found to be well suited for chemosystematic studies, that of the twigs is unsatisfactory. The major components (3–25%) of the leaf oil were β-phellandrene, myrcene, α-pinene, β-pinene, cis-ocimene, limonene, and α-phellandrene and smaller amounts of α-terpineol, methyl thymol, terpinolene, cadinene and muurolene isomers and their corresponding alcohols, terpinene-4-ol, trans-ocimene, camphene, γ-terpinene, bornyl acetate, thymol, and nerolidol were identified. cis-Ocimene (8–14%) appears to be highly characteristic of the species and it, as well as other quantitative differences, may serve as a distinguishing feature with regard to mountain hemlock, eastern hemlock, and other species of the family Pinaceae. Leaf samples from 10 trees give terpene patterns that are representative of a population; no significant differences at different elevations (10–700 m) were recorded. Although the means of the major terpenes from different populations may vary by several percent, consistent differences between coastal and interior populations of British Columbia were not found.

Distinguishing Features

The volatile leaf oils of the coastal and Rocky Mountain varieties of the Douglas fir were found to have distinctive terpene compositions. The relative amounts of l-β-pinene, sabinene, 3-carene, α- and γ-terpinene, terpinolene, l-terpinen-4-ol, citronellol, citronellyl and geranyl acetate (relatively large in the former variety); and santene, tricyclene, l-camphene, limonene, and l-bornyl acetate (relatively large in the latter variety) may serve as distinguishing features. n-Hexenal, l-α-pinene, α- and β-phellandrene, linalool, fenchyl alcohol, and l-α-terpineol were also isolated. The within-tree and within-population variation of the amounts of these terpenes as well as populational differences from Calgary through the foothills to Revelstoke were small. Intermediate compositions were encountered as far west as the Cascades and one may distinguish clearly between interior and coastal intermediate terpene patterns. Between Keremeos and Hedley the terpene pattern was essentially that of the Rocky Mountain variety whereas at Jasper intermediate patterns leaning towards coastal intermediates were recorded. Analysis of the leaf oils from five different provenances of coastal populations indicated that a north–south cline may exist. Provenance samples showed conclusively that the terpene patterns are genetically controlled and are not influenced by ecological factors. Hence these terpene patterns may serve as a genetic guide and provide a quantitative measure of coastal, intermediate, and Rocky Mountain types of populations.
