The chemical composition of Prangos odontalgica (Pall.) Herrnst. et. Heyn essential oil, which grows wild in the Astrakhan region, has not been practically studied, unlike other species of the genus Prangos, growing in Iran, Turkey and Uzbekistan. To obtain the essential oil, all parts of the plant (roots, stems, flowers, leaves, fruits) are used, as well as various methods of isolation (hydrodistillation, supercritical fluid extraction, solid-phase microextraction, and others). Essential oil from the fruit of Prangos odontalgica we obtained by the method of hydrodistillation. The duration of the hydrodistillation process, established experimentally on the basis of a study of the dynamics of change in the yield of essential oil over time, was 3 hours. The yield of essential oil in mass% by volume in terms of absolutely dry raw materials according to the results of a threefold determination is 0.07 ± 0.01%. The method of gas-liquid chromatography carried out a quantitative analysis of the main components of the essential oil Prangos odontalgica. The quantitative content of the components of the essential oil was calculated by the areas of gas chromatographic peaks without the use of correction factors. Qualitative analysis was performed by comparing linear retention indices. In the Prangos odontalgica essential oil, 38 substances were identified (88.4%). It contains sesquiterpenes (31.48%), terpenoids (19.2%), hydrocarbons (15.39%), carboxylic acids and their esters (10.86%), alcohols, phenols (8.84%). Among sesquiterpenes, the predominant components are γ-elemen (9.84%), bisabolol (9.41%), and among terpenoids – trans-nerolidol (3.90%) and linalyl isobutyrate (3.41%).

Samples of essential oil from Tamarix ramosissima plant growing in the Astrakhan region were obtained by steam distillation and the dependence of its yield on the vegetative period of the plant was studied. The duration of the process of steam distillation was established experimentally on the basis of a study of the dynamics of the change in the yield of essential oil in time. The yield of essential oil was determined in % by weight of absolutely dry raw material. The largest yield of essential oil was obtained from plants in the flowering phase (0,23–0,3%). By method of gas-liquid chromatography carried out a quantitative analysis of the main components of essential oil Tamarix ramosissima. The quantitative content of essential oil components was calculated from the areas of gas chromatography peaks without the use of correction factors. Qualitative analysis was carried out by comparing the linear retention indices. It was found that the composition of the essential oil of Tamarix is very specific. It includes hydrocarbons (9,51%), alcohols (3,46%), aldehydes (2,55%), monoterpene hydrocarbons (5,4%), oxygenated terpenes (23,06%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (1,48%), oxygenated diterpenoids (3,37%), and a significant amount of fatty acids and their esters (45,43%). The main components of the essential oil are tetrahydrogeranilacetone (21,35%), nonane (12,63%), decanoic (9,82%) acids and dihydroactin diolide (5,40%).

Plants of Helichrysum genus belong to Asteraceae family and abound with species. The’re two species of plants of Helichrysum genus in the Astrakhan region – Helichrysum arenarium Moench and Hеlichrisum nogaicum Zvelev that was discovered later and isn’t studied well enough yet. Helichrysum arenarium is a well-known medical plant widely used in both academic and traditional medicine and included into the State Pharmacopoeia. Inflorescences of Helichrysum arenarium produce cholagogic, hemostatic, detoxicating, laxative, anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects, which is due to content of flavonoids, terpenoids and other components. This works shows results of studies of chemical composition of extracted essential oils of Hеlichrisum nogaicum and Helichrysum arenarium growing in the Astrakhan Region. Samples of essential oils of plants under studies have been obtained by steam distillation. Optimal steam distillation process duration has been determined by experiment taking studies of dynamics of essential oil yield change through time as a ground. Quantitative analysis of main components of Helichrysum arenarium and Hеlichrisum nogaicum essential oils has been carried out by gas-liquid chromatography. It has been identified that Helichrysum arenarium essential oil contains 21 substances. Its main components are camphor (14.59%) and carboxylic acids (37.02%), and 1,8-cineole (5.97%). The main components of the oil Helichrisum nogaicum are camphor (38.33%), borneol (14.21%), cineol-1.8 (11.37%) and terpene-4-ol (5.18%), sesquiterpene compounds (6.28%), and the content of carboxylic acids is insignificant and amounts to 6.58%.

The volatile fraction composition of commercially produced sweet and bitter orange oil from fruit peels was studied using GC-MS. More than fifty components were identified in the oils using their mass spectra and linear retention indices. The monoterpene limonene was the most abundant component even though not in a quantity expected for a fresh orange essential oil. Aldehydes, followed by alcohols and esters, were the main components in the oxygenated fraction. Aldehydes were the major oxygenated components in the sweet orange oil, whereas alcohols and esters were present in higher amounts in the bitter orange oil. Among them, nonanal, decanal and linalool are the most important components for the flavour of sweet orange oil and carvon is the most important ketone for the flavour of bitter orange oil in combination with the other components. The amount of carvon gives a good indication about the freshness of the oil and the quantities of α-pinene and β-pinene, sabinene and myrcene give an indication about the natural or artificially changed composition of the essential oils.

Artemisia scoparia Waldst.et Kit. is an annual or biennial plant, widely spread on Transbaikal Territory. We have attempted to identify the leading factor affecting on the composition of essential oil in this article. Raw materials were collected during field works in 2014-2016 on the territory of Buryatia and on Transbaikal Territory. Essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation method from air-dried raw materials. The chemical composition of the oil was analyzed by chromatography-mass spectrometry. According to the composition of the components the studied oils referred to a chemotype containing monoterpene and sesquiterpene compounds as the main components. β-Myrcene, limonene, α- and β-pinenes, α- and β-farnesenes, caryophyllene, α-copaene, spathulenol were identified almost in all samples except one, and p-cymol, γ-terpinene, humulene, caryophyllene oxide were found in most of them.The variety of identified components of oils was associated with the secondary transformation of terpenes, the components of oils were representatives of 19 structural types of compounds. The composition of essential oils of Artemisia scoparia from Transbaikal Territory was characterized by a high content of sesquiterpene compounds.The humidity mainly influenced on the composition of essential oils. Mostly accumulation of sesquiterpene compounds occurred in essential oils of plants growing in ecotopes with sufficient humidity, and monoterpenes - in places with less humidity.

Abstract Background Essential oil of Rosa × damascena Herrm. is one of the most valuable and important raw materials for the flavor and fragrance industry. The cultivation of this plant has ancient origins, and Kashan was one of the first mountainous regions of Iran dealing with the cultivation of R. × damascena. In this study, both chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of different rose essential oils obtained from five mountainous areas of Kashan region (Maragh, Qamsar, Sadeh, Javinan, and Kamoo) has been investigated along with the influence of the environmental conditions on these properties. Results Results showed that yield and chemical composition of essential oils obtained from Rosa × damascena were significantly affected by the collection area. In particular, the yield of oils varied from ~0.08 to ~0.132% and citronellol (36.70-9.18%), geraniol (12.82-0.47%), nonadecane (22.73-10.36%), heneicosane (31.7-11.43%), and 1-nonadecene (6.03-3.93%) have been detected as main compounds in all the plants collected, but at different concentrations depending on the collection area. The best fragrance and the highest yield were found in the oil from Kamoo area. Similarly to the chemical composition, the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils was affected by their origin, and essential oil obtained from plants collected from Kamoo area disclosed the highest antibacterial and antifungal efficacy. Its inhibition halos were 17.33±0.58 mm against Aspergillus brasiliensis, 15.67±0.58 mm against Staphylococcus aureus, and 12.33±0. 58 mm against Streptococcus pyogenes. Essential oils of R. damascena were also effective against Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and they had a MIC value of 62.50 μg/mL irrespective of the collection area (except the oil from Javinan area). On the contrary, the highest antifungal power against Candida albicans yeast was reached using the essential oil obtained from plants collected in Javinan region (MIC and MBC ~62.50 μg/mL). Conclusions Overall results underline the influence of environmental conditions of the different areas of Kashan region, on the chemical composition of and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of Rosa × damascena. In addition, results disclosed that Kamoo seemed to be the most suitable area for the competitive cultivation of R. × damascena to the intensive production of aromatic flower oil and natural antimicrobial essential oils.

The chemical composition and the color of samples of waste cooking oils (WCOs) were determined prior to and after filtration on two different pads of bentonite differing in particle size. The volatile fraction was monitored by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas-chromatography, while the variation of the composition of the main components was analyzed by 1H NMR. Both techniques allowed the detection of some decomposition products, such as polymers, terpenes, and derivatives of the Maillard process. The analysis of the chemical composition prior to and after bentonite treatment revealed a tendency for the clays to retain specific chemical groups (such as carboxylic acids or double bonds), independent of their particle size. A pair comparison test was conducted in order to detect the sensory differences of the intensity of aroma between the WCO treated with the two different bentonites. In addition, characterization of the bentonite by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric measurements (TG) was performed.

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Thymus serpyllum and Thymus serpyllum‘Aureus’ has been investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty-seven compounds (99.67% of the total oil) wereidentified in the essential oil of T. serpyllum. The main components found in the oil were carvacrol (37.49%), -terpinene (10.79%), -caryophyllene (6.51%), p-cymene (6.06%), (E)--ocimene (4.63%) and -bisabolene (4.51%). Similarly, carvacrol (44.93%), -terpinene(10.08%), p-cymene (7.39%) and -caryophyllene (6.77%) dominated in the oil of T. serpyllum ‘Aureus’. A total of forty three compounds wereidentified in this oil, representing 99.49% of the total oil content. On the basis of the obtained data it was proved that the content of 1-octen-3-ol,eucalyptol, (Z)--ocimene, (E)--ocimene, -terpinene, carvacrol methyl ether, germacrene D and -bisabolene was significantly higher for T.serpyllum while T. serpyllum ‘Aureus’ was characterized by a significantly higher content of 3-octanone, 3-octanol, p-cymene, borneol andcarvacrol. The isolated essential oils were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against nine reference strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcusaureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Proteus vulgaris and Candidaalbicans) by the microdilution technique. Based on this test, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of essential oil were calculated. Thevolatile oil obtained from T. serpyllum showed the highest antimicrobial activity relative to the strain of E. coli (MIC=0.025 μL/mL) and to theyeast C. albicans (MIC=0.05 μL/mL). Similarly, a significant antimicrobial activity exhibited T. serpyllum ‘Aureus’ essential oil, although the MICvalues obtained in that case for E. coli and C. albicans strains were twice as high and were respectively 0.05 μL/mL and 0.1 μL/mL.
