Volatile components fromArtemisia scoparia Waldst et Kit growing in central Iran

Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oil of Artemisia scoparia Waldst et Kit, growing wild in Kashan, Iran, was analysed by GC and GC-MS. Fifteen compounds, constituing 99% of the total components detected, were identified. Among them 1-phenyl-penta-2,4-diyne (30.9%), β β β β β-pinene (23.3%), limonene (10.2%) and (E)-β β β β β-osimene (9.7%) were the major components of the oil, which was obtained in 0.96% yield.

Chemical Composition andIn VitroEfficacy of Essential Oil of SevenArtemisiaSpecies Against ESBL Producing Multidrug-ResistantEscherichia coli

“…65 %) as a major compound, the findings on chemical composition of A. scoparia growing in Kashan is consistent with our findings23 . The compound, 1-phenyl-penta-2,4-diyne, was the most abundant component of A. scoparia oil in both Kashan as well as the present study.…”

“…It consists of over 800 species distributed in various parts of the world such as Central Europe, Southwest of Asia and North and Southwest America and above all, Asia 16 . Chemical composition of essential oils and extracts from several Artemisia species has been the topic of many investigations [20][21][22][23][24][25] . Most of the Artemisia species possess medicinal properties and had multiple applications in the ancient medicine of the world particularly in Iranian and Chinese traditional medicines.…”

Optimization of Process Variables for Biodiesel Production Using the Nanomagnetic Catalyst CaO/NaY‐Fe3O4

“…The peaks at 463 and 565 cm -1 are representative of Fe-O-Fe bonds of iron oxide superimposing with the zeolite bands [28] while the peak at 1416 cm -1 belongs to CaO [29]. The FT-IR spectra of nanocrystalline NaY are in agreement with the data of NaY in the literature [30]. It is clear that the loading of CaO on the nanomagnetic zeolite surface did not change the basic peaks of zeolite.…”
