The essential oil from leaves, roots, stems, and fruits of Amomum xanthioides Wall. ex Baker from Northern Vietnam was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography techniques. The yield of the essential oil obtained from leaves, roots, stems, and fruits of A. xanthioides was 0.26%, 0.24%, 0.19%, and 1.45% (w/w) by fresh weight, respectively. The composition of the oil samples was compared; 38, 43, 28, and 22 compounds have been identified in the essential oil of leaves, roots, stems, and fruits, accounting for 96.19%, 96.61%, 98.39%, and 98.12% of the total oil content, respectively. A high variation among organs for the majority of compounds was shown. β-elemene (31.71%), δ-cadinene (10.69%), germacrene D (9.55%), bicycloelemene (8.12%), and bicyclogermacrene (7.93%) are the main compounds in leaves, while β-pinene (29.59%), terpinen-4-ol (10.77%), and α-terpinene (6.96%) are identified as the main compounds in roots. Stems are characterized by high levels of β-elemene (29.58%), spathoulenol (26.89%), and bicycloelemene (6.19%). For fruits, bornyl acetate (37.21%), camphor (19.48%), camphene (14.62%), and limonene (9.64%) are the main compounds. Overall, this study confirms that changes in the yield, composition, and concentration of the essential oil may be caused by several factors such as environmental conditions and climate at the collection site, the time of collection, and the age and properties of plants. This study also provides new data on the chemical composition of the essential oil from A. xanthioides collected from Northern Vietnam.

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.

The essential oil (EO) of Salvia leucantha Cav. was isolated by steam distillation of the aerial parts collected in the South of Ecuador. Its physical properties were evaluated and the chemical composition of the oil was determined by GC-MS and GC-FID analyses using two chromatographic columns, DB-5ms and HP-INNOWax. Six major compounds were identified, namely, the sesquiterpenes 6.9-guaiadiene (19.14%), (E)-caryophyllene (16.80%), germacrene D (10.22%), (E)-β-farnesene (10.00%), and bicyclogermacrene (7.52%), and the monoterpenoid bornyl acetate (14.74%). Furthermore, four pairs of enantiomers were determined by enantioselective GC-MS of the essential oil. (−)-germacrene D and (+)-α-pinene showed the highest enantiomeric excess (ee%). In an in vitro assay, the essential oil demonstrated an interesting inhibitory activity of the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), with an IC50 = 32.60 µg/mL, which is the highest determined for a Salvia species. In contrast, the oil was weakly active against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with an IC50 > 250 µg/mL.

Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) is a major essential oil crop in the United States. Developing means for increased biomass and oil yields and increased concentrations of carvone would be beneficial for the essential oil industry. A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar application treatments [water (control), water + Tween20, sagebrush essential oil + Tween20, sagebrush water extract, juniper essential oil + Tween20, juniper water extract, and methyl jasmonate] on ‘Native’ spearmint essential oil content, shoot fresh weight, oil yield, and oil composition. The essential oil content was low in the water + Tween20 and in juniper essential oil (EO) + Tween20 treatments and high in the juniper water extract and in methyl jasmonate (MJ) treatments; however, neither of these were different from the water control or from the sagebrush EO + Tween20. Biomass fresh weight was lower in the sagebrush water extract (SWE) and in the juniper water extract (JWE) relative to the water control. The application of juniper EO + Tween20 reduced the concentration of carvone in the oil relative to the water control or to the water + Tween20 treatment. The sagebrush water extract, juniper EO + Tween20, juniper water extract, and MJ increased the concentrations of beta-caryophyllene relative to the water treatment. The concentration of trans-beta-farnesene was lower in the control water treatment and higher in all other treatments. Also, with the exception of sagebrush EO + Tween20, all treatments increased the concentration of germacrene D relative to the water control but not relative to water + Tween20. This study demonstrated that foliar application of sagebrush EO, sagebrush water extract, juniper EO, or juniper water extract to ‘Native’ spearmint may affect the essential oil profile of spearmint essential oil. Some of the treatments increased the concentrations of beta-caryophyllene, trans-beta-farnesene, and germacrene D in the essential oil; however, neither of the treatments increased the concentration of carvone, the main essential oil constituent of ‘Native’ spearmint oil.
