Essential Oil Content and Compositions of Naturalized Tagetes minuta L. (Wild marigold)

Abstract

Tagetes minuta L. known as Muster John Henry is an annual, fragrant and naturalized plant species in Turkey. The study aimed to determine essential oil content and components of Tagetes minuta L. from the flora of Hatay. Flower and leaf parts were hydrodistilled together in the full flowering period. Essential oils were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Essential oil content was found at 1.8%. Essential oil compositions that constitute 99.20% of the essential oil were revealed. Main components found as trans-β-ocimene 45.92% and verbenone 32.68%. T. minuta has wide usage in perfume, food and ornamental plant industry. Further studies should perform on the cultivation of the species for national industries.

Identification of Repellents from Four Non-Host Asteraceae Plants for the Root Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne incognita

“…Previously, dihydrotagetone, ( E )-β-ocimene, ( E )-tagetone, ( Z )-tagetone, and ( Z )-ocimenone have been identified in the essential oils in varying concentrations from the aerial parts of T. minuta. , In the current study, we identified these compounds in the root volatiles of T. minuta, showing similarities in foliar and root chemistry.…”

“…Compounds that were only identified in B. pilosa include ethyl isobutyrate, nonane, tridecane, and silphiperfol-5-ene, while heptadecane, isopropyl tetradecanoate, and isopropyl palmitate were exclusively detected in Previously, dihydrotagetone, (E)-β-ocimene, (E)-tagetone, (Z)-tagetone, and (Z)-ocimenone have been identified in the essential oils in varying concentrations from the aerial parts of T. minuta. 41,46 In the current study, we identified these compounds in the root volatiles of T. minuta, showing similarities in foliar and root chemistry. Our results agree with previous studies, which identified γ-terpinene, silphiperfol-5-ene, presilphiperfol-7-ene, silphinene, modheph-2-ene, (E)-caryophyllene, (E)-β-farnesene, α-isocomene, β-isocomene, and β-patchoulene in the headspace volatiles of fresh roots of A. annua.…”

Valorizations of Marigold Waste for High-Value Products and Their Industrial Importance: A Comprehensive Review

“…Researchers have discovered that the marigold flower's flavonoids have anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, and inhibitory effects on colon cancer, leukemia, and melanoma cells. Marigold is frequently used in pharma industry due to its numerous therapeutic properties [3,108,109].…”
