Composition of Essential Oil of Tanacetum Vulgare L. From Samara Region

Abstract

Aim - to analyze the essential oil isolated from the tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) flowers harvested from the spontaneous flora of Samara region. Materials and methods. The analysis was made on head flowers of Tanacetum vulgare harvested from the spontaneous flora of Samara region during the flowering stage (July), in 2016. The isolation of the essential oil was made in accordance with the Pharmacopeia of the Russian Federation XIIIth Edition. The essential oil was analyzed using a gas chromatograph coupled with mass-spectrometer apparatus. GCMS analysis was performed using an Agilent Technologies 7820F gas-chromatograph, series MSD, Agilent 5975. Results. It was determined that the major compounds of essential oil are represented by 2 isomers of thujone, eucalyptole (1,8-cineole) and yomogi-alcohol. According to the results of headspace analysis, the main identified components were artemisia alcohol, sabinene, eucalyptole (1,8-cineole). Conclusion. The knowledge of phytochemical characteristics of Tanacetum vulgare L. is important for the correct identification of the plant material for medical purposes.

Quantitative content of flavonoids in plant samples from the Crimean population of oregano (Origanum vulgare)

“…It was concluded that such harvesting is possible in certain areas of the republic [12]. In the Samara region of Russia the analysis was carried out to determine the feasibility of harvesting wild raw materials of oregano [13]. In the Karachay-Cherkess Republic of Russia, a conclusion about the suitability of oregano thickets for industrial-scale use was made [14].…”
