The essential oil from the aerial parts of hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) from Iran was extracted using both hydrodistillation (HD) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) methods. SFE was performed at various pressures, temperatures, extraction (dynamic and static) times and modifier (methanol) concentrations using an orthogonal array design with an OA 25 (5 5 ) matrix conditions. Using GC-MS, 22 components were characterized in the oil extracted by HD. The data obtained from this study suggest that hyssop collected from Iran could be a special chemotype with a high sabinene concentration (11.04%). Major compounds identified when using SFE were sabinene, pinocamphene and iso-pinocamphene, which were extracted at different levels when applying different operational conditions. The highest selectivity of sabinene was obtained at 100 atm, 55℃, with 1.5 µL (0.05%, w/w) methanol, dynamic extraction time of 30 min and static extraction time of 35 min. Also, the highest selectivity of pinocamphene and iso-pinocamphene were obtained at 100 atm, 45℃, with 4.5 µL (0.14%, w/w) methanol, dynamic extraction time of 20 min and static extraction time of 25 min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
