Abstract

Economically important and endemic plant species have many important uses. In this research essential oil and fatty acid constituents of endemic plant taxa Origanum acutidens, Micromeria elliptica, Nepeta congesta var. congesta and Ballota saxatilis subsp. brachyodonta were analyzed. Detected major compounds as: carvacrol (18.2%), thymol (11.3%) and caryophyllene oxide (7.5%) in Origanum acutidens; camphor (12.9%), caryophyllene oxide (12.5%) and pulegone (10.2%) in Micromeria elliptica; -cineole(18.8%) and nepetalactone (14.5%) in Nepeta congesta var. congesta; -caryophyllene (11.0%) and pulegone (7.2%) in of Ballota saxatilis subsp. brachyodonta. Palmitic (31.46%), Steraic (13.22%), Petroselinic (22.22%), Linoleic (9.94%) and Linolenic acid (22.53%) were found to be main fatty acids.

Türkiye'den Bazı Endemik Bitki Türlerinin Uçucu Yağ ve Yağ Asit Kompozisyonu

Abstract

Ekonomik değerli ve endemik bitkilerin birçok önemli kullanım alanları bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırmada endemik bitki taksonları olan Origanum acutidens, Micromeria elliptica, Nepeta congesta var. congesta ve Ballota saxatilis subsp. brachyodonta yaprak esansiyel yağ ve yağ asidi bileşimleri analiz edildi. Belirlenen ana bileşenler şu şekildedir: karvakrol (%18.2), timol (%11.3) ve karyofilen oksit (%7.5) Origanum acutidens 'te; kamfor (%12.9), karyofilen oksit (%12.5) ve pulegon (%10.2) Micromeria elliptica'da; 1,8-sineole (%18.8) ve nepetalakton (%14.5) Nepeta congesta var. congesta’da; -karyofillen (%11.0) ve pulegon (%7.2) Ballota saxatilis subsp. brachyodonta’da ana bileşenler olarak saptandı. Palmitik (%31.4), steraik (%13.2), petroselinik (%22.2), linoleik (% 9.9) ve linolenik asit (%22.5) ana yağ asitleri olarak belirlenmiş bulunmuştur.
