“…A total of 77 volatile compounds were detected in total having 13 monoterpenoids, 19 sesquiterpenoids, and others in Mentha species (Park et al, 2016). In an another study (Zouaoui et al, 2020) reported that a total of 91 volatile organic compounds (VOC): 39 VOC were identified in Thymusalgeriensis (with dominance of β-myrcene = 13.78%, camphor = 12.29%, linalyl acetate = 9.11%); 37 VOC in Artemisiacampestris (β-farnesene = 14.17%, β-myrcene = 13.84%); 50 VOC in Juniperusphoenicea (α-pinene = 27.18%); 42 VOC in Teucrium polium (α-guaiene = 11.33%, trans-caryophyllene = 9.49%, γ-elemene = 9.25%), 45 VOC in Rosmarinus officinalis (camphor = 17.46%, transcaryophyllene = 14.83%); and 41 in Artemisia herba-alba (α-thujone = 24.59%, β-thujone = 13.73%). In Artemisia herba-alba growing in the region of biskra, α-thujone (24.59%) and β-thujone (13.73%) were the major compounds, followed by verbenene (8.30%), sabinol (7.51%), carvone (5.05%), and p-cineole (4.81%).…”

A total of 99 different volatile compounds were detected through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) from three species of Atractylodes, namely Atractylodes lancea, Atractylodes japonica, and Atractylodes chinensis. Thirteen-volatile flavor compounds i.e., acid, alcohol, aldehyde, alkane, alkene, alkyne, ester, ketone, monoterpene, oxygenated monoterpene, sesquiterpene, oxygenated sesquiterpene, and oxygenated triterpenoid detected from different species of Atractylodes. It was observed that all the species contained 38 common compounds, while A. lancea contained 7 unique compounds, A. japonica has 4 unique compounds, and A. chinensis hold 6 compounds not detected in the other extracts. In addition, essential oils from A. lancea and A. japonica possessed 11 compounds in common, and A. lancea and A. chinensis possessed 19 compounds in common. The remaining 14 compounds were detected only in A. japonica and A. chinensis. The total content of all components in the species was comparable, with 82.528%, 81.766%, and 81.799% of volatile components being detected for A. lancea, A. japonica, and A. chinensis, respectively. Curzerene was found to be the most predominant compound in both A. lancea (14.1%) and A. chinensis (16.7%), while murolan-3,9(11)-diene-10-peroxy was found predominantly in A. japonica (16.8%). The present study suggests that the identified volatile compounds may possess important biological properties, and could be suitable for application in both oriental medicines and the pharmaceutical industry.

“…Phytochemical investigations on the volatile components referred to two studies on the characterization of the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) spontaneously emitted by leaves of Turkish specimens using the Direct Thermal Desorption (DTD) technique (Karimi et al, 2011;Özel et al, 2006). In addition, the volatile profiles of congeneric species of different origins, including T. marum, T. orientale, T. polium, and T. flavum, were characterized by means of Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) analysis (Djabou et al, 2013a;Sagratini et al, 2012;Yildirmiş et al, 2017;Zouaoui et al, 2020). Furthermore, the composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of T. chamaedrys of different origins was analysed (Bezić et al, 2011;Djabou et al, 2013b;Hajdari et al, 2020;Kaya et al, 2009;Sajjadi and Shookohinia, 2010).…”

“…The choice of using fresh mater is considered in this study as grazers intake fresh aerial parts of these plants thus this approach may reflect better the amount of forage intake. In addition, recent studies revealed that screening fresh plant sample can elucidate a higher aromatic profile than using dry samples (Sellami et al., 2011; Zouaoui et al., 2020). It is noteworthy mentioning that the use of dry matter instead of fresh samples to measure forage mass may be more suitable for comparisons as it is the standard procedure often employed (Ngwa et al., 2000).…”

This study aims to determine the botanical composition of different pastures in a semiarid region of Algeria and investigate the aromatic profile of the characteristic plant species grazed by goats and sheep. At three pastures (1: montane area with spontaneous vegetation 'never cultivated before', 2: previously cultivated but set at rest, 3: cultivated, under cereal production), plants were sampled twice during April-May to determine plant composition. Based on dominance of fresh aerial biomass of each plant per pasture and consumption by dairy goats, 10 species (Atractylis humilis, Calendula arvensis, Filago pygmaea, Globularia alypum, Hordeum vulgare, Malva sylvestris, Plantago sp., Scolymus hispanicus, Sonchus asper and Thymus algeriensis) were selected and sampled once at flowering stage to characterize their aromatic profile. The odour-active compounds (OACs) of the selected species were extracted using steam distillation, then detected and identified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC/MS/O). The analysis of botanical composition revealed the presence of 70 species (29 in mountain, 40 in set at rest, 11 in cultivated pasture) belonging to 62 genera and 22 families, with dominance of Asteraceae species. A total of 86 different OACs were identified, including mainly terpenes (21) and aldehydes (18). Among the OACs, 19 different compounds have various odour notes including herbaceous, floral, sweet spicy, fried, mint, cooked, fruity, sulphur, sweet and unpleasant notes. The number of OACs and individual chemical classes differed significantly between selected species. Atractylis humilis contained more OACs than Scolymus hispanicus and Plantago sp., whereas Globularia alypum had higher number of OACs compared to Plantago sp. This study gave a general overview on plant aroma profile of semiarid pastures in Algeria and suggests that the aromatic profile of grazed plants in the pasture is determinant of the aromatic quality of dairy-derived foods which depends also on animal feed selection. | 283 SENOUSSI Et al. | INTRODUC TI ONCovering an area of nearly 2.4 million km 2 , Algeria is the largest country in Africa. Most of its lands are considered as drylands falling mostly under Saharan or semi-arid and arid climates, whereas only about 2% of the country area receive annual precipitations higher than 800 mm (Negm et al., 2020). These conditions are highly limiting crop yields and conditioning animal production that is mainly practiced in semiarid steppe rangelands (Fenni, 2013;Iñiguez, 2011). Eighty % of the Algerian area consists of barren lands, whereas 16.5%, c. 0.39 M km 2 , are agricultural lands of which 0.31 M km 2 are used for grazing and only 0.08 M km 2 for primarily crops and some forage production (Nedjraoui, 2001). Livestock comprises mainly sheep farming as cow breeding is more difficult and limited. According to FAOSTAT (2018), 79% of livestock are sheep, 14% goats and only 6% are cows. Although more intensive husbandry systems have been introduced in recent years, traditiona...
