ABSTRACT: The Aim of the Present Study Was to Evaluate the Yield, Chemical Constituents and Determine the Chemotype of the Essential Oil Obtained from Different Rosemary Plants Growing in Different Accessions of Rosemary Fields. About four Plant Samples Were Analyzed for Essential Oil Yield and the Essential Oil Yield Varied from 0.88% To 1.2%. the Essential Oil Samples Were Further Analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC) for the Purpose of Identification of Chemical Constituents Present in Them. It Was Contended from the Results That the Selected Plants Differed from Each Other in Terms of Chemical Constituents.Camphor Content Was Foundin Higher Amount in All the Foursamples, Thus it Could Be Inferred That the Plants Are Camphor Chemotype.

This study reports on the chemical compositions of the essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Rosemary) grown in Mersin, Turkey. The essential oil of rosemary was obtained by hydrodistillation method, and the yield of rosemary oil was found to be about 1.2 % (v:w). The hydrodistilled volatile oil was analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques. Forty-five components were identified in the essential oil of R. officinalis, which represented 100% of the total essential oils. The oxygenated monoterpenes content possessed the highest value, 64.78% of the oil, among which eucalyptol (33.15%) and camphor (10.31%) were the most abundant components. In addition, the oil contained mainly monoterpene hydrocarbons, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and diterpenes. The least amount of diterpenes were found in the content of the oil. Isopimara-9 (11),15-diene (0.14%) and α-springene (0.06%) were two compounds determined as diterpene compounds.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize chemical constituents of Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oils from Diyala Province, an eastern side of Iraq. Methods: Following hydrodistillation extraction of the leaves, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (MS) was performed. Eighteen peaks were identified and compared to known compounds and MS patterns. Results: The two major components identified were eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) and L-camphor, and they represent 59% and 29%, respectively. In addition, α-terpineol, bornyl acetate, borneol, linalool, and β-terpineol were detected in 3.75, 2.83, 1.96, 1.22, and 0.65%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study showed that rosemary essential oils from Diyala Province of Iraq consisted mostly of oxygenated monoterpenes (>96%) and hydrocarbon monoterpenes are less than 1%. The latter suggest that hydrocarbon monoterpenes may undergo transformation due to atmospheric as well as microbiological metabolism which more studies are needed to confirm such suggestion.

Aim: The purpose of this review paper is to elaborate many nano-formulations of Rosemary which are used against many diseases and also explain the Pharmacological activity of phytocompounds of Rosemary and details about the applications and uses of Rosemary in many fields. Objectives: Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a medicinal herbal plant, their leaves are used in Europe, America, and Asia as a food additive. It is very valuable, their parts contain many chemical constituents which are very effective against many diseases like diabetes, obesity, cancer, infections and also have antioxidant, anti-inflammation, memory-improvement, etc. properties. Results: In the literature reviewed, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) has shown exciting potential both as a natural food preservative and as a therapeutic agent. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oil has been extensively studied due to its chemical composition and biological activities. The extract of Rosemary also shows the medicinal properties like anticancer, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory etc. From many studies, it was also found that nano-formulation of Rosemary had been developed by using the Rosemary essential oil and its extract which are used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Conclusion: From the conventional times, therapeutic effects of Rosemary are seen, which is also used in Modern Medicine now days. It had been used as food additives in the conventional times. In renal colic and dysmenorrhea, it is used as an antispasmodic to relieve respiratory disorders and to boost hair development. CNS, cardiac and locomotive activity promotes inhalation and oral administration of Rosemary oil, suggesting the direct effect of one or more of its constituents. Rosemary have curative potential in the therapy and avoidance of bronchial asthma, peptic ulcer, spasmodic disorders, inflammatory illnesses, atherosclerosis, hepatotoxicity, cancer, ischemic heart illness, bad sperm motility, Alzheimer, and may act as antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.

The essential oil of cardamom capsules is a high-value ingredient in foods, beverages, perfumery, and traditional medicines. It is responsible for the characteristic aroma of cardamom. The present study aimed to evaluate essential oil yield and chemical constituents of 22 diverse accessions of cardamom. A total of 20 g of the cured capsules were hydrodistilled in a Clevenger apparatus for 3 h in three replications. The amount of essential oil yield ranged from 4.5 to 9.5%, indicating a substantial variation in this feature among the accessions. The GC/MS analysis results discovered 24 constituents that constituted 98.1–100% of total essential oil. The main fractions were found to be oxygenated monoterpenes (40.7–66.7%), monoterpene hydrocarbons (23.1–58.6%), and sesquiterpenes (0.1–2.0%). Among the monoterpenoids, the predominant constituents were α-terpinyl acetate (29.9–61.3%) followed by 1,8-cineole (15.2–49.4%), α-terpineol (0.83–13.2%), β-linalool (0.44–11.0%), and sabinene (1.9–4.9%). Two sesquiterpene constituents, cardinen and nerolidol and p-cresol (a phenol derivative) were also identified. The compositional data were subjected to euclidean-distance-based similarity analysis, which showed two major clusters. The major constituents of cardamom essential oil (CEO) are 1,8-cineole, α-terpinyl acetate, sabinene, and β-linalool that can be used in food, aroma, and pharmaceutical applications.
