TAILIEUCHUNG - Chemical composition of the essential oil of Salvia aethiopis L.

The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Salvia aethiopis was analyzed by employing GC-MS. Thirty-two components ( of the total oil) were identified in the essential oil of S. aethiopis. | Turk J Biol 30 (2006) 231-233 © TÜB‹TAK Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Salvia aethiopis L. 1, 2 1 3 4 3 Medine GÜLLÜCE *, Hakan ÖZER , Özlem BARIfi , Dimitri DAFERERA , Fikrettin fiAH‹N , Moschos POLISSIOU 1 Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Atatürk University, 25240 Erzurum - TURKEY 2 Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Atatürk University, 25240 Erzurum - TURKEY 3 Laboratory of General Chemistry, Agricultural University of Athens, Iera Odos 75, Athens 118 55, GREECE 4 Department of Genetic and Bioengineering, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Yeditepe University, 34755 Kay›flda¤›, ‹stanbul - TURKEY Received: Abstract: The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Salvia aethiopis was analyzed by employing GC-MS. Thirty-two components ( of the total oil) were identified in the essential oil of S. aethiopis. The main components of this oil were germacrene D (), α-copaene (), β-cubebene + β-elemene (), bicyclogermacrene (), δ cadinene (), and β-caryophyllene ().

Uçucu Ya¤lar›n›n Kimyasal Kompozisyonu Özet: Salvia aethiopis’in toprak üstü k›s›mlar›ndan hidrodistilasyonla elde edilen uçucu ya¤ asidi kompozisyonlar› GC-MS uygulamas›yla analiz edildi. S. aethiopis‘in uçucu ya¤lar›ndan 32 tane bileflen (total ya¤ içeri¤inin %98,0’i) tan›land›. Bu ya¤lar›n temel bileflenleri, germacrene D (%29), α-copaene (%19,8), β-cubebene + β-elemene (%9,9), bicyclogermacrene (%9,3), δ cadinene (%8,7), β-caryophyllene (%7,3) oldu.
