Turkey is an important gene center in terms of the
Lamiaceae family plants, which take the first place among the plant species
traded on the world market and have an important role in alternative medicine
applications. Stachys is one of the
important genus of Lamiaceae and represented by approximately 200 taxa. In this
study which was conducted in 2017 and 2018, above ground parts of Stachys cretica subsp. anatolica in flowering period of plant
were collected from Koçtepe province of Isparta. Volatile components were
determined by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) after solid phase
micro extraction (SPME). Collected samples were placed in paper packages and
transported to the laboratory on the same day and dried at room temperature
(25°C), after they were subjected to solid phase microextraction (SPME). 2 g of
samples were placed into a 10 mL vial. After incubation for 30 min at 60°C,
SPME fibre was pushed through the headspace of a sample vial to adsorbed the
volatiles, and then inserted directly into the injection port of the GC-MS
(Shimadzu 2010 Plus) at a temperature of 250°C for desorption (5 min) of the
adsorbed volatile compounds for analysis. As result, 58 volatile components
were determined and (E)-2-hexenal (12.58%), germacrene-D (34.56%) and also
β-caryophyllene (21.04%) were found as main components. Stachys species are becoming increasingly important due to the
aromatic compounds and essential oils they contain, as well as being the plants
that are used by the public in the treatment of diseases and which are
medicinal properties.
