Determination of the phytochemical profile, in vitro the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oil from Arbutus andrachne L. wood growing in Turkey

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the chemical composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the essential oil of Arbutus andrachne L. wood, collected from Köyceğiz region of Muğla. According to GC-MS results 25 compounds were identified, accounting for 80.5 % of the wood oil. The predominant compounds were cinnamyl alcohol (21.97 %), 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate (16.59 %) and isobornyl acetate (15.37 %). The investigated wood oil showed significant bioactivities. Furthermore, this study showed that A. andrachne L. essential oil with preferential constituents can be used as potential antioxidant and antibacterial agents for food, perfume and pharmaceutical industries.

Türkiye’de yetişen Arbutus andrachne L. odununun uçucu yağının fitokimyasal profili, in vitro antioksidan ve antimikrobiyal aktivitelerinin belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Muğla'nın Köyceğiz bölgesinden toplanan Arbutus andrachne L. odununun esansiyel yağının kimyasal bileşimi, antioksidan ve antibakteriyel aktiviteleri belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. GC-MS sonuçlarına göre, odun yağının % 80.5'ini oluşturan 25 bileşik tanımlandı. Baskın bileşikler, sinnamil alkol (% 21.97), 4-tert-butilsikloheksil asetat (% 16.59) ve izoboril asetat (% 15.37) idi. İncelenen ağaç yağları önemli biyoaktiviteler gösterdi. Ayrıca, bu çalışma, tercih edilen bileşenlere sahip A. andrachne L. uçucu yağının gıda, parfüm ve ilaç endüstrileri için potansiyel antioksidan ve antibakteriyel maddeler olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.
