Volatile Constituents ofTeucrium poliumL. from Turkey
1998
Abstract The volatile constituents obtained from the aerial parts of Teucrium polium were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The oil was found to contain 37 components, of which 30 were identified. The major constituents were β-pinene (18.0%), β-caryophyllene (17.8%), α-pinene (12.0%), caryophyllene oxide (10.0%), myrcene (6.8%) and germacrene-D (5.3%)
Agronomical and chemical characterisation of Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav. biotypes from Sicily, Italy
2015
In this study the agromomical and chemical characterization of 13 sicilian biotypes of Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav. (or Thymus capitatus Hoff. et Link.) collected from different areas of Sicily (Italy) and grown under the same agricultural and environmental condition are reported. The main morpho-productive parameters and quali-quantitative profile of essential oils were determined . Essential oils were extracts from the aerial parts of the plants by hydrodistillation. The essential oils were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis statistical methods were used to group biotypes according to the essential oils chemical composition. The esse…
Composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oil ofAnisochilus carnosus (Linn. ?l.) Benth., a Tamil plant acclimatized in Sicily
2003
The essential oil from aerial parts of Anisochilus carnosus (Linn. fil.) Benth. (Lamiaceae) was obtained by hydrodistillation. The oil content was 0.13% (v/w), on a fresh weight basis. The oil composition was analysed by GC and GC–MS and 28 compounds were identified, accounting for 94.3% of the oil. Carvacrol (27.9%), camphor (14.1%) and α-cis-bergamotene (10.2%) were the most abundant components. The oil is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
