Volatile Constituents ofArtemisia annua

Abstract

Planto Med. 58, Supplement issue 11992Posters Under the homogeneous field conditions, significant differencies in all the examined parameters were recorded for the ten tested cultivars. The Egyptian cultivar confirms its good yields and its very high estragole content, beside the low fenchone content; only the Turkish cultivar yielded a higher amount of essential oil per hectare than the Egyptian one, but also this oil was poor in fenchone. The Polish cultivar presented the highest fenchone content, built was unsatisfactory due to the low global yield. Among the other cuhivars, the French A showed the highest essential oil content, with a good global yield, and the Albanian one showed the highest anethole content in the essential oil, but a poor global yield.From the presented data, it can be concluded that further strains have to be tested in order to either choose the best for cultivation, or to identify different characteristics that could be intoduced into a breeding program in the future.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant, and Antimicrobial Activities of the Essential Oils From Аrtemisia annua L. Growing Wild in Tajikistan

“…Artemisia ketone, camphor, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, β-caryophyllene, germacrene-D, p -cymene, o -cymol, and artemisia alcohol were reported as the major components (≥10%) of the essential oils of А. annua and are different from species growing in other geographic locations. 1,2,13,15 -54 Also, bisabolol, bisabolol oxide B 26,27 , and α-cubebene 18 were found as major components of the A. annua essential oils. Analyses in the published research data showed that many species of the Artemisia genus, including A. annua, A. vulgaris, A. diffusa, A. santonicum, A. spicigera, A. afra, A. asiatica, A. austriaca, and A. pedemontana , contain bornane derivatives (camphor, borneol and bornyl acetate) and 1,8-cineole as the major components.…”
