A study on essential oil yield and components of dryed and fresh foliage of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) cultivated in Turkey
Abstract
In the study, essential oil
yield and its components dryed and fresh
foliage obtained from peppermint [Mentha piperita L.
(Lamiaceae)] cultivated
in Konya ecological conditions were investigated. The yield of essential
oil from dryed and fresh peppermint foliage was determined to be 3.2 % and 2.9
%, respectively. The major essential oil components of dryed and fresh foliage
peppermint oil were determined as mentone (50.80 %), mentol (34.55 %) and
mentone (48.18 %), mentol (21.77), respectively. The aim of this research attempts to contribute to knowledge of differences between essential oil yield and
components of the dryed and fresh foliage peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) cultivated Konya ecological conditions, Turkey.
