Effects of Nano- salicylate on Quality and Quantity of Essential Oil Components in Trachyspermum copticum
Abstract
The effect of application of nano- salicylate (2 and 3 mM) on components of essential oils (EOs) of Trachyspermum copticum was evaluated. The nano-salicylate increased α-pinene, γ-terpinene, thymol and carvacrol and decreased β-myrcene, p-cymene, βphellendrene, 4-terpineol, cis limonene oxide, dodecane, β-fenchyl alcohol, ethylene methacrylate and pentadecane concentration. Among the three T. copticum extracts, T. copticum treated with 3 mM nano salicylate showed the highest total phenolic content (176.94±58 mg/g) and showed the highest total flavonoid content (200.76±34 mg/g).
