Chemical properties of hawthorn (Crataegus L. spp.) taxa naturally distributed in Western Anatolia part of Turkey

Abstract

Chemical properties of Crataegus pentagyna subsp. pentagyna, C. orientalis subsp. orientalis, C. orientalis subsp. szovitsii, C. tanacetifolia, C. azarolus var.aronia, C. monogyna var. lasiocarpa, C. monogyna var. monogyna taxa that are naturally distributed in Western Anatolia were determined in this study. Leaf and flower samples collected from Izmit, Sakarya, Balıkesir, Izmir, Kütahya, Muğla and Isparta provinces of Western Anatolia to determine volatile components in 2010-2014 period were dried at room temperature. Volatile components that were obtained by dry phase microextraction (SPME) method in Süleyman Demirel University Central Laboratories were determined in Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 81 volatile components belonging to 7 hawthorn taxa were determined. Volatile oil components that were identified at highest ratios were benzaldehyde (82.54%) butyraldehyde (38.27%) and (E)2-hexenal (21.67%) components. Moisture values of hawthorn seeds samples that were collected from sample areas during ripening period were determined. Fatty acid composition was determined in with Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) using standard fatty acid mixture. Moisture values of hawthorn seeds varied between 14.49%-36.33%. 10 fatty acid compositions belonging to 7 hawthorn taxa were determined, the highest were linoleic (64.23%), oleic (39.36%) and palmitic acid (8.16%) respectively.

Phytochemical composition and bioactivities of hawthorn ( Crataegus spp.): review of recent research advances

“…lasiocarpa, C. monogyna var. monogyna leaf and flower samples collected from different provinces of Western Anatolia (Ozderin et al, 2016).…”

Elucidation of Genetic Diversity as Morphological, Phytochemical and Molecular Markers in Some Hawthorn (Crataegus) Genotypes

“…The most prominent genotypes compared to other genotypes in stone weight and meat core ratio were G7 genotype with 0.32 g and G2 genotype with 16.59 values, respectiv. In a study, it was determined that the fruit weight values ranged from 0.65 g to 4.19 g [36], and the stone weight was between 0.19-0.38 g [37]. In the current study, it was determined that the SÇKM contents of the genotypes varied between 9.00% and 18.00%.…”

Volatile Oil Constituents of Crataegus azarolus L. and Crataegus pallasii Grisb.

“…Using solid phase microextraction (SPME) method, analysis of the volatile components of the leaf and flower of 7 Crataegus taxa collected from the Western Anatolia part of Turkey was conducted by Özderin et al Forty volatile components from two samples of C. azarolus var. aronia essential oil were reported with the major components; benzaldehyde (82.5%, 23.9%), 2-hexenal (21.7%, 2.5%), butyraldehyde (15.2%, 4.4%) [15]. Due to the high popularity of the fruit jam of C. azarolus in Cyprus, Hadjimitsi and Zabetakis performed a study that involved the identification and quantification of volatile compounds from the commercial jam of the species purchased from a local producer in Cyprus.…”
