“…In addition, Table 1 summarises previous investigations of authors on the analysis of the volatile oils from L. citriodora (Gillij, Gleiser, & Zygadlo, 2008), F. vulgare (Napoli, Curcuruto, & Ruberto, 2010b;Telci, Demirtas, & Sahin, 2009), and R. officinalis (Gachkar et al, 2007;Napoli, Curcuruto, & Ruberto, 2010a). The yield of the volatile fraction obtained through hydrodistilation was 0.36%, 1.21% and 0.50% for L. citriodora, F. vulgare and R. officinalis, respectively.…”

“…The R. officinalis areal part essential oil was characterised by a high content of oxygenated monoterpenes (56.40% versus 64.28%, Okoh et al, 2010), 72.70% (Napoli et al, 2010a), 38.35% (Gachkar et al, 2007). The major constituents were eucalyptol (13.46% versus 11.91%, Okoh et al, 2010), 50.90% (Napoli et al, 2010a), 7.43% (Gachkar et al, 2007), a-pinene (12.56% versus 11.47%, Okoh et al, 2010), 14.50% (Napoli et al, 2010a), 14.90% (Gachkar et al, 2007), camphor (11.75% versus 16.57%, Okoh et al, 2010), 12.10% (Napoli et al, 2010a), 4.97% (Gachkar et al, 2007), borneol (9.41% versus 5.74%, Okoh et al, 2010), 3.60% (Napoli et al, 2010a), 3.68% (Gachkar et al, 2007) and verbenone (8.29% versus 17.43%, Okoh et al, 2010), 1.94% (Gachkar et al, 2007).…”

“…The biological activities of R. officinalis essential oils doubtless depend on the chemical compositions, and at least 13 different rosemary oil chemotypes have been previously identified, based on the relative percentages of α-pinene, 1,8-cineole, camphor, borneol, verbenone, and bornyl acetate [31,36,37,38,39,40,41]. In this work, we have characterized the essential oils of R. officinalis collected from Alabama (USA), Western Cape (South Africa), Victoria (Australia), Kenya, Nepal, and Yemen, and screened these essential oils for antifungal activity.…”

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a popular herb in cooking, traditional healing, and aromatherapy. The essential oils of R. officinalis were obtained from plants growing in Victoria (Australia), Alabama (USA), Western Cape (South Africa), Kenya, Nepal, and Yemen. Chemical compositions of the rosemary oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as well as chiral gas chromatography. The oils were dominated by (+)-α-pinene (13.5%–37.7%), 1,8-cineole (16.1%–29.3%), (+)-verbenone (0.8%–16.9%), (−)-borneol (2.1%–6.9%), (−)-camphor (0.7%–7.0%), and racemic limonene (1.6%–4.4%). Hierarchical cluster analysis, based on the compositions of these essential oils in addition to 72 compositions reported in the literature, revealed at least five different chemotypes of rosemary oil. Antifungal, cytotoxicity, xanthine oxidase inhibitory, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity screenings were carried out, but showed only marginal activities.

“…The substances related with its antioxidant activity are phenolic diterpenes such as carnosol, rosmanol, carnosic acid, methyl carnosate, and phenolic acids such as rosmarinic and caffeic acids. Particularly, carnosic acid and carnosol are the most abundant antioxidants present in rosemary extracts [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Phenolic diterpenes of rosemary and carotenoids of spinach were target compounds due their recognized biological activities. Two different extraction techniques were applied, namely pressurized liquid extraction using hexane at two different temperatures (100 and 150C) and supercritical fluid extraction with pure carbon dioxide at 40C and two different pressures (20 and 30 MPa). For each extraction technique and conditions three different raw materials were employed: spinach leaves, rosemary leaves and the mixture 50:50 of spinach and rosemary leaves.The antioxidant activity of the samples produced was studied in terms of the ABTS assay and showed to be enhanced when the species are simultaneously extracted, with TEAC values around 20% higher than the values corresponding to mixing the extracts obtained by separate.A possible synergic effect between carotenoids and phenolic diterpenes was studied, although no specific synergic activity could be observed. However, the enhanced antioxidant activity could be attributed to a definite increase of the concentration of carnosic acid, which was observed in the samples produced by the simultaneous extraction.Keywords: Supercritical fluid extraction; Pressurized liquid extraction; Antioxidants; Phenolic diterpenes; Carotenoids; Spinach; Rosemary . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 3 IntroductionAntioxidants play a very important role in the food, cosmetic and pharmac...
