VOLATILE COMPONENTS OF DAPHNE SP. NATURALLY GROWN IN TÜRKİYE

Abstract

Objective: The Daphne genus, belongs to the Thymelaeacea, which includes approximately 500 plant species and 44 taxa. In this study, the volatile components of 7 species (Daphne mezereum L., D. pontica L., D. glomerata Lam., D. sericea Wahl., D. oleoides Schreber, D. gnidioides Jaub et. Spach and D. mucronata Royle) and 2 subspecies (D. mucronata subsp. turcica and D. oleoides subsp. kurdica) of the genus Daphne naturally grown in Türkiye were investigated.

Material and Method: The volatile profiles of the hydrodistillated samples were analysed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), simultaneously.

Result and Discussion: The major volatile components for all samples were determined as tricosane (16.0-0.3%), pentacosane (17.6-1.2%), phytol (11.4-0.6%), heptacosane (10.1-1.0%) and hexadecanoic acid (53.2-9.0%).

TÜRKİYE’DE DOĞAL OLARAK YETİŞEN DAPHNE TÜRLERİNİN UÇUCU BİLEŞİMLERİ

Abstract

Amaç: Daphne cinsi, yaklaşık 500 bitki türü ve 44 taksonu içeren Thymelaeacea famiyasına aittir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de doğal olarak yetişen Daphne L. cinsine ait 7 türden (D. mezereum L., D. pontica L., D. glomerata Lam., D. sericea Wahl., D. oleoides Schreber, D. gnidioides Jaub. et Spach ve D. mucronata Royle) ve 2 alt türden (D. mucronata subsp. turcica ve D. oleoides subsp. kurdica) elde edilen uçucu bileşikler araştırılmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Hidrodistilasyonla elde edilen uçucu bileşiklerin kimyasal profilleri, gaz kromatografisi-alev iyonizasyon dedektörü (GK-AID) ve gaz kromatografisi/kütle spektrometrisi (GK/KS) ile eş zamanlı olarak analiz edilmiştir.

Sonuç ve Tartışma: Tüm örneklerde ana bileşikler trikosan (%16.0-0.3), pentakosan (%17.6-1.2), fitol (%11.4-0.6), heptakosan (%10.1-1.0) ve hekzadekanoik asit (%53.2-9.0) olarak belirlenmiştir.
