The essential oils from five samples of leaves of Rhododendron aureum from the Irkutsk region, Pribaikal'e, Russian Federation, were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Compounds representing 70.5-78.3 % of the oils were identified. Twenty-seven compounds were identified according to their chromatographic retention indices and mass spectra. The major components of the oils were calarene (10.4- -66.4 %), ?-bourbonene (0.5-27.4 %), ?-selinene (2.1-8.0 %) and kaur-16-ene (2.0-6.3 %). It was found that the chemical composition of Rh. aureum essential oil depends on the altitude of the growing plants.

The essential oils from leaves of Baccharis latifolia and B. prunifolia collected in January 2006 were analyzed by GC/MS. The yields of oils extracted by hydrodistillation were 0.27 and 0.29% for B. latifolia and B. prunifolia, respectively. Sixteen (B. latifolia) and twenty nine (B. prunifolia) components were identified by comparison of their mass spectra with the Wiley GC-MS Library data and by their retention indices (RI). The identified products may be divided into four different groups: monoterpenes (9.0% B. latifolia; 43.9% B. prunifolia), oxygenated monoterpenes (0.8% B. latifolia; 5.4% B. prunifolia), sesquiterpenes (20.4% B. latifolia; 45.9% B. prunifolia) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (69.8% B. latifolia; 1.9% B. prunifolia). The oils showed antibacterial activity only against Gram positive bacteria, with MIC values for Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) of 80 μg/mL (B. latifolia) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) of 90 μg/mL and 260 μg/mL (B latifolia and B. prunifolia, respectively).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of the essential oil from fresh leaves of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) from Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro State, for international trade. The oil was isolated by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and analyzed through a combination of GC-FID and GC-MS. The yield was 2.3 % on dry basis. Forty-seven constituents were identified according to their chromatographic retention indices and mass spectra, corresponding to 94.90 % of the compounds present. The major constituents of the oil were α-thujone (40.90 %), camphor (26.12 %), α-pinene (5.85 %) and β-thujone (5.62 %). The essential oil studied was similar to those found in several European countries and can be a valuable product for the small farmers from the Petrópolis region in Rio de Janeiro State.

Essential oils extracted by hydrodistillation from leaves and roots of Ottoa oenanthoides Kunth (Apiaceae) were analyzed by GC/MS. The oils, obtained in yields of 0.10% and 0.66%, respectively, each contained four compounds, which were identified from their mass spectra and retention indices (RI). The major compound identified was 2-methoxy-8-methyl-1,4-naphthalindione (59.9% leaves, and 62.8%, roots), followed by 7-methoxy-1-naphthol (18.3% leaves and 17.3% roots), 2-naphthalenol (18.6% leaves and 15.0% roots), and 3-methoxy-2-naphthalenol (3.1% leaves and 2.1% roots). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that naphthalene derivatives have been reported for any species of the Apiaceae family.

In this study, the essential oil profile of Callicarpa candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr was presented. Samples were collected from Vietnam and the oils were extracted from fresh leaves and dry leaves by hydrodistillation method. GC-MS data and retention indices were used to identify the chemical composition. The essential oil performance achieved 0.263% for fresh leaves and 1.503% for dry leaves. A total of 47 components were identified from fresh leaves oil and 39 constituents from dry leaves oil. Chemical compositions of the two essential oils were similar, with the major components being α-gurjunene, δ-cadinene, ε-caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) and α-selinene.

Aims: The objective of this work is to contribute to the valorization of medicinal and aromatic plants of the Ivorian flora. We propose to determine the chemical composition and to evaluate the antioxidant activity by spectrophotometry of the essential oil of Cardiospermum. grandiflorum Sw Study Design: Valorization of aromatic and medicinal plants. Methodology: The technical of steam distillation using a four-compartment stainless steel device was used to extract the essential oil from the plant matrix. The analysis of the essential oils was carried out on a GC chromatograph (7890A, Agilent Technologies) coupled to a mass spectrometer (5975C, Agilent Technologies). The identification of the compounds was carried out by comparison of the retention indices and mass spectra obtained with those from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) database and from the literature The antioxidant potential of the extracts was evaluated using the Blois method. Results: The essential oil obtained by steaming, with an aromatic odor and pale yellow color has a yield of (0.0045 ± 0.0002)%. Analysis of the chromatogram and mass spectra obtained by GC-MS identified 24 phytocompounds representing 99.45% of the total chemical composition. The chemical composition of EO consists mainly of hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes (97.72%).The major compound is γ-muurolene (46.06%) (A) followed by β-Caryophyllene (24.35%) (B) and γ-elemene (7.07 %). The essential oil extract of C. grandiflorum exhibits low antioxidant activity compared to vitamin C. The IC 50 value of vitamin C is 0.31 µg / mL while that of EO extract of C grandiflorum is 15.1 µg / mL Conclusion: In the present study, we are interested in the valuation of Cardiospermum grandiflorum an aromatic plant used in traditional Ivorian medicine.

Motivated by a recent identification of two homologous series of branched butanoates and pentanoates in S. pecten-veneris essential oil, with an apparently regular change of their retention index (RI) values, we decided to examine the generality of such structure-chromatographic property relationship. Based on the experimentally obtained retention data (RI values of in total 20 compounds) of hexyl, decyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, heneicosyl and tricosyl isobutanoates and 3-methylbutanoates and selected 2-methylbutanoates, a model was built up that correlates the total number of carbon atoms, Wiener (WI), Balaban (BI) and molecular topological (MTI) indices of the mentioned esters and their RI data (RI = 240.5 + 91.2 x C + 2.94 x WI + 4.6 x 10-5 x BI - 0.381 x MTI). The obtained equation represents a new and simple tool for the prediction of gas chromatographic (retention indices) data for esters of straight long-chain fatty alcohols and branched short aliphatic acids.

The essential oils of Grindelia squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal and G. hirsutula Hook. & Arn. cultivated in Romania were isolated by hydrodistillation. The essential oils were analyzed by a combination of GC-FID and GC-MS. The identification of the constituents was achieved from their retention indices and comparison of their MS data with computer library database and literature data. The fifty-six identified constituents accounted for 72.1-81.3% of the oils. The oils were found to contain α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, borneol, bornyl acetate and germacrene D as main constituents. The oils obtained from the two species showed small differences in chemical composition. However, menthol, menthone and pulegone were detected only in the essential oil of G. hirsutula.

Abstract In this paper, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, genetic structure and the chemical composition of essential oils of four populations belonging to Leutea elbursensis and Leutea petiolaris, two species endemic to northern Iran, are analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS data showed that all accessions of L. elbursensis formed a monophyletic clade, and L. elbursensis was a sister to the rest of Leutea species. Results of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis performed on the total genome showed that all individuals presented in the study belonged to two different genetic clusters. The individuals belong to L. petiolaris had a different genetic structure and yielded no traceable amount of essential oils. The essential oil obtained from the ripe fruits of L. elbursensis yielded 0.5–0.6% of volatile essential oils. In total, 15-29 volatile natural components were identified on the basis of their mass spectra characteristics and retention indices, in which α-pinene (33.18-43.22%), β-pinene (32.4-40.9%) were the major constituents. Our results indicate that L. elbursensis is a distinct species, segregated from the other species based on morphology, ITS data and AFLP profile. In addition, despite the relatively uniform genetic structure of L. elbursensis, the chemical composition of essential oil could be highly affected by different factors.

The chemical composition of six oil samples, isolated from aerial parts of Elsholtzia blanda, E. penduliflora and E. winitiana, harvested in two provinces of Vietnam, was investigated by GC, in combination with retention indices (RI), GC/MS and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Linalool was the major component (75.2 and 56.8%) of the two samples of E. blanda essential oil, whereas the two oil samples from E. penduliflora were dominated by 1,8-cineole (62.7 and 65.5%). Conversely, the two oil samples of E. winitiana exhibited different compositions, rosefuran (56.0%) and dehydroelsholtzia ketone (22.8%) being the major components of one sample, whilst the second sample was dominated by elsholtzia ketone (87.5%).
