GC-MS fingerprints of mint essential oils

Abstract: Essential oils from eleven Mentha species were obtained by Deryng hydrodistillation and analysed by GC-MS: 44 compounds were identified. The most abundant were menthone, isomenthone, menthol, carvone, piperitone oxide, D-limonene and eucalyptol. Chemometric similarity measures and principal component analysis were calculated, allowing comparisons based on secondary metabolite content. The fingerprints may be helpful in chemotaxonomy.

“…Globally, they are among the most destructive and economically important insect pests [8] . Honeydew secreted by aphids causes sooty molds, which signi cantly inhibit photosynthesis and decrease crop yield [9] . To date, over 4,000 different aphid species have been described in this order [10] , with over 250 species, making it one of the most destructive pests in cultivation [11] .…”

“…Both nymphs and imagos infest young leaves, vegetative and flower buds, flowers, and young fruits, resulting in the discoloration and drying of these affected parts [ 13 , 14 ]. Moreover, they secrete honeydew, which causes sooty molds, therefore inhibiting photosynthesis and causing a remarkable loss in quality and quantity of the crop yield [ 15 ].…”

“…To quantitatively determine one compound in a medicinal plant, often the information about the remaining compounds is lost due to the extraction of only one single compound, which, however, may be the key for the therapy effect [4,5]. Over the years, these research studies were focused on fingerprint technology, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which are helpful to give an overall understanding of the chemical active ingredients [6][7][8][9][10]. In doing so, it has to be considered that fingerprint techniques are commonly complex and very specific for only one or few compounds which makes single-spectrum-based fingerprint techniques not only time consuming but also hard to standardize [11].…”
