Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the essential oil components in Macrura pomifera, a North American plant. The essential oil components were determined by GC / MS method after the essential oil isolation of the fruit sample was completed. The relative abundances of the chromatograms obtained as a result of the analyses were compared with the similarity indices of the probable results in the library of the GC / MS for the highest peaks and retention index calculations were made from the retention time. As a result of the analyzes, the structure of 28 essential oil components in the fruit was clarified. When the components were examined, dodecanal (9.05%), Eugenol (8.36%) and α-humulene (7.84%) emerged as the first three major components. Other compounds are less common than these three compounds.

Determination of Essential Oils Components of Maclura pomifera (Osage Orange) Fruit from Turkey

Abstract

This
study was conducted to determine the essential oil components in Macrura pomifera,
a North American plant. The essential oil components were determined by GC / MS
method after the essential oil isolation of the fruit sample was completed. The
relative abundances of the chromatograms obtained as a result of the analyses were
compared with the similarity indices of the probable results in the library of the
GC / MS for the highest peaks and retention index calculations were made from the
retention time. As a result of the analyzes, the structure of 28 essential oil components
in the fruit was clarified. When the components were examined, dodecanal (9.05%),
Eugenol (8.36%) and α-humulene (7.84%) emerged as the first three major components.
Other compounds are less common than these three compounds.
