“…The differences in the concentration of ketones contributed to the differences in the EO composition of various fractions, confirming the hypothesis of this study. Ketones play important roles in plants and have commercial uses such as as ingredients in pheromones and natural insecticides in plants [41,42]. They contribute to the aroma of the EO, possess antimicrobial activity [12], and are used as flavoring in cheese and other dairy products [43].…”

The aim of this study was to establish the kinetics regression models for yield and composition of Ruta graveolens fruit and Hyssopus officinalis subsp. aristatus aboveground biomass essential oil (EO), collected at different time intervals during the hydrodistillation process. The hypothesis was that collecting the EO fractions during specific time frames may result in EOs with dissimilar composition that may have differential use by the industry. Furthermore, we calculated the kinetics regression models for the composition of EO, isolated by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and characterized by GC-MS and GC-FID analyses. The EO yield of R. graveolens fruits was 0.39% (relative area % of GC-FID chromatogram), with major constituents in the Control fraction (0–90 min) being 2-nonanone, 2-undecanone, and 2-undecanol, representing 65% of the total oil. The highest concentration of 2-nonanone (60%) was found in the 30–60 min oil fraction, the concentration of 2-undecanone (35%) was highest in the Control (0–90 min) fraction, and the concentration of eucalyptol (19%) was highest in the 5–10 min fraction. The EO yield of H. officinalis subsp. aristatus dried biomass was 1.12%. The major constituents in the Control fraction (0–90 min) of H. officinalis biomass were eucalyptol, α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, and cis-3-pinanone, representing 86% of the total. Eucalyptol (58%) was the highest in the 0–5 min fraction. The highest β-pinene (15%) and cis-3-pinanone (20%) contents were found in the 20–40 min fraction. The kinetics regression models that were developed for EO composition of R. graveolens were second-order polynominal, Michaelis–Menten, and Exponential decay, while for EO composition of H. officinalis subsp. aristatus biomass were Exponential decay and Power. The results from this study could benefit the EO industry.

“…Essential oils are well-known for their bioactivities, e.g., antimicrobial and antioxidant, and have long been used in different traditional medicine systems as well as in modern medicine, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products [ 29 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 ]. Their applications as an insecticidal, larvicidal, nematocidal, pesticidal, phytotoxic, and insect-repellent agents are also well-documented [ 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 ]. Ruta essential oils found their way into various traditional medicinal products, and a significant body of literature could establish their bioactivities and medicinal potential [ 4 ].…”

“…Ruta essential oils, e.g., essential oil of Ruta graveolens , was previously tested for repellent efficacy against other mosquitoes, e.g., A. aegypti with a minimum effective dose of 0.187 mg/cm 2 using the cloth patch assay [ 106 ]. Prior to this study, Soares et al [ 107 ], examined the insect repellent activity of the essential oil from R. graveolens against the Cayenne tick Amblyomma cajennense (Acari: Ixodidae) nymphs, and found this essential oil to have little or no repellent effect.…”

Ruta Essential Oils: Composition and Bioactivities

et al. 2021

Ruta L. is a typical genus of the citrus family, Rutaceae Juss. and comprises ca. 40 different species, mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region. Ruta species have long been used in traditional medicines as an abortifacient and emmenagogue and for the treatment of lung diseases and microbial infections. The genus Ruta is rich in essential oils, which predominantly contain aliphatic ketones, e.g., 2-undecanone and 2-nonanone, but lack any significant amounts of terpenes. Three Ruta species, Ruta chalepensis L., Ruta graveolens L., and Ruta montana L., have been extensively studied for the composition of their essential oils and several bioactivities, revealing their potential medicinal and agrochemical applications. This review provides a systematic evaluation and critical appraisal of publications available in the literature on the composition and bioactivities of the essential oils obtained from Ruta species and includes a brief outlook of the potential applications of nanotechnology and chitosan-based products of Ruta essential oils.
