Compound analysis of essential oils from lovage and celery fruits obtained by headspace extracton

Abstract

Lovage and celery are important as vegetables, spices and medicinal herbs rich in essential oil, which gives them a characteristic aroma. In addition, they have great pharmacological potential and the possibility of being applied as dietary supplements, functional foods and as alternative medicinal substances. By using the headspace extraction essential oil was obtained from the fruit of these two plants and was identified by GC analysis. In the essential oil of lovage fruit 21 components were identified, among which the dominant were ß-phellandrene (77.1%), α-pinene (4.7%), α-phellandrene (4.3%), sabinene (3.3%), myrcene (3.3%) and cis-ß-ocymene (2.7%), while other components were present with less than 1%. The most abundant class of compounds are monoterpenes, while from the compounds of phthalide class only cis-ligustilide was recorded with 0.3%. The essential oil of celery fruit consisted of 17 components, out of which the most common were limonene (94.4%), myrcene (2.2%) and ß-pinene (1.6%), while other components were present in small amounts. The most common class of compounds are monoterpenes, while from the phthalide class sedanenolid was present with 0.2%, while 3-n-buthylphthalide and sedanolide were found in traces.

Selen i celer su značajne povrtarske, začinske i lekovite biljke bogate etarskim uljem koje im daje karakterističnu aromu. Pored toga, imaju veliki farmakološki potencijal i mogućnost primene kao dijetetski suplementi, funkcionalna hrana i alternativne lekovite supstance. Primenom Head­space ekstrakcije dobijeno je etarsko ulje iz plodova ove dve biljke koje je identifikovano GC analizom. U etarskom ulju plodova selena identifikovana je 21 komponenta, među kojima dominira β-felandren (77,1%), α-pinen (4,7%), α-felandren (4,3%), sabinen (3,3%), mircen (3,3%) i cis-β-ocimen (2,7%), dok su ostale komponente prisutne sa manje od 1%. Najzastupljenija klasa jedinjenja su monoterpeni, dok je od jedinjenja iz klase ftalida zabeležen samo cis-igustilid sa 0,3%. U etarskom ulju plodova celera, utvrđeno je 17 komponenata, od kojih je najzastupljeniji bio limonen (94,4%), mircen (2,2%) i β-pinen (1,6%), dok su ostale komponente bile prisutne u malim količinama. Najzastupljenija klasa jedinjenja su monoterpeni, dok je od ftalida utvrđen sedanenolid sa 0,2%, a 3-n-butilftalid i sedanolid su bili prisutni u tragovima.
