Chemical Profile ofSatureja KitaibeliiWierzb. ex Heuff. Essential Oils: Composition ofSatureja KitaibeliiEssential Oils

Abstract

The essential oils from dried aerial parts of Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff., collected at three various sites in Serbia, were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. One hundred sixty-three components were identified in all investigated samples, 132 components in the oil from the site Devojački grob, 124 components in the oil coming from Sićevačka klisura site, and 146 components in the oil from the site Visočka Ržana, accounting 97.3, 93.9, and 95.6% of the total oils, respectively. The most abundant component in the essential oils was geraniol amounting from 24.0 to 30.3%, making up about one-quarter of the total oils. Other representative compounds were identified as linalool (5.0-14.8%), limonene (4.3-7.9%), and caryophyllene oxide (4.4-5.2%) in all tested samples. The results suggested that essential oils of S. kitaibelii belong to the aliphatic monoterpene chemotype.

Comparative Effect of Bunium persicum and Rosmarinus officinalis Essential Oils and Their Synergy with Citric Acid on the Oxidation of Virgin Olive Oil

“…Sacchetti et al [17] reported that the R. officinalis of Sardinian ecotype is rich in verbenone, camphor, bornyl acetate, and borneol. The [13] Sharififar et al, [4] Azizi and Davareenejad, [5] Shahsavari et al, [9] Đorđević et al, [12] Dawidowicz and Olszowy, [14] Hashemi et al, [15] Mazidi et al, [16] and Sacchetti et al [17] IMPROVING STABILITY OF OLIVE OIL BY ESSENTIAL OILS Sardinian ecotype of R. officinalis shows better AA than those reported by Baratta et al [8] who worked on samples of other R. officinalis ecotypes with regard to their α-pinene/1,8-cineole/ camphor chemotype.…”

“…EO samples were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and were stored in sealed vials at -18°C for further use. [12] Gas Chromatography (GC) Analysis of EOs…”

“…Comparisons were also made with mass spectral data derived from the relevant literature. [4,5,9,[12][13][14][15][16][17] Furthermore, the EO constituents were analyzed qualitatively under the same chromatographic conditions via a GC coupled with a flame ionization detector (FID). Relative percentage data were obtained from electronic integration of chromatogram peak areas, as a modified method taken from a study by Gavahian et al [18] AA Antioxidant activities of EOs were evaluated based on free radical scavenging capacities and their reducing powers.…”

Chemical Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oil of Medicinal Plants from Eastern Serbia

“…S. kitaibelii EO constituents from this study and from literature reports [18,[36][37][38][39][40] are shown in Table 3. The classification between them according to the content of chemical compounds was performed using HCA analysis (Figure 1a).…”

Phytochemical Variability of Essential Oils of Two Balkan Endemic Species: Satureja pilosa Velen. and S. kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. (Lamiaceae)

“…The main phytochemical studies on the variability of EO compositions of S. kitaibelii were conducted at populations in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia [ 7 , 15 , 18 , 19 ] ( Table 1 ). The EO composition of S. kitaibelii varied considerably in the samples from Serbia [ 20 ]. The cited authors found differences between the populations of S. kitaibelii in terms of the EO composition and the presence of chemotypes, namely geraniol, p -cymene, and limonene, with a high abundance of linalool and borneol [ 7 , 20 ].…”
