“…[16] That oil contains the following main components (Table 2): manool (17.15%), viridiflorol (14.39%), borneol (7.75%), camphor (13.60%), cis-thujone (6.66%), and trans-thujone (3.26%). During the granulation process, the content of the main component, viridiflorol, increased by almost one-third (from 14.39% to 20.92%), the content of manool remained at a constant level (17.10-17.15%) and the amount of camphor decreased (from 13.60% to 7.53%).…”

The aim of the research was to evaluate the influence of herbal raw materials granulation on changes in the content and composition of essential oil. The following ground materials and granulates were subjected to analysis: Thymi Herba (Thymus vulgaris L.), Salviae Herba (Salvia officinalis L.), Menthae Piperitae Herba (Mentha piperita L.) and Chamomillae Anthodium (Chamomilla recutita L.). Studies revealed that granulation of raw materials causes an increase in the final product density. i.e. for C. recutita it increased about 4.0-fold, for S. officinalis about 3.4-fold, for T. vulgaris about 2.6-fold, and for M. piperita about 1.6-fold. Moreover, granulation negatively affected the essential oil content in the evaluated raw materials, resulting in the following losses: about 56.6% for T. vulgaris, about 73.6% for S. officinalis, about 71.3% for M. piperita and about 43.9% for C. recutita. Furthermore, significant changes in the composition of essential oils isolated from granulates were observed with reference to ground materials, e.g. the percentage of iso-menthol in oil achieved from M. piperita granulate increased from about 29% to about 40%, that of camphor in oil from S. officinalis granulate was 14% in relation to about 8%, and that of thymol in oil from T. vulgaris granulate increased from about 44% to about 67%, whereas the percentage of a-bisabolol oxide A in oil from C. recutita granulate decreased from about 34% to about 18%.

Keywords: granulation; granulates; essential oil; Thymus vulgaris; Salvia officinalis; Mentha piperita; Chamomilla recutita IntroductionThe World Health Organization (WHO) stated that in the 1990s, about 70-80% of developing countries' populations used unconventional medicine.[1] A wide spectrum of plants was described as easily available, bio-renewable sources of natural antioxidants, which are important in prophylaxis of the diseases of civilization, e.g. tumours or disturbances to the circulatory system. [2,3] Most plants used for the purpose originate from their natural habitats, and their properties depend on genetic and environmental diversity. The raw material quality is significantly determined by such post-harvest factors as processing (type of drying and storage). Plants dried at low temperatures retain their original look and texture.[4] More often, plant materials such as herbs and spices are subjected to a granulation process. Granulation consists of combining small fragments of raw material into larger particles whose final shape can be formed during grinding.[5] The main goals of granulation are: to achieve uniform mixtures of solids; to obtain products with a minimized amount of dust; to increase product quality; to improve storage, transport and dosage parameters (particularly important in the automation of production processes, elevating volume/weight:bulk density); to produce particles of a given condition to improve solubility or to avoid agglomeration, etc.; and to modify composition due to various additives...

“…However, twenty components comprised between 0.1-8.0 %, while twenty-three compounds were present in trace amounts (Table 1). The chemical composition of our oil was found to be closely similar to that of the same species collected in Italy [9], Yugoslavia [11], Bulgaria [17], and Iran [19] which were characterized by its large amount of oxygenated fraction.According to previous data of the chemical composition of the oils obtained by hydrodistillation, steam distillation, or ethanol extraction from aerial parts of S. officinalis from different countries [6,8,9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], α-thujone, α-humulene, and camphor have been reported to be the major compounds in these oils (Table 2).Finally, our results are in agreement with samples of Italian [9], French, Romanian, Czech, Portuguese [13], and Turkish [17] sage oils characterized by camphor (22.0-32.9%) as the most important component, in contrast, samples from many countries are represented by α-thujone (21.5-31.5%) and α-humulene (14.7%) [7] as the major compounds in their oils. However, a comparison of the composition of the Iranian sage oils during the different developmental stages revealed that 1,8-cineole (15.3-22%), α-thujone (9.1-25.1%), and β-pinene (7.1-16.4%) were the principal compounds [19] (see Table 2).…”

Chemical composition of the essential oil of Salvia officinalis from Algeria

Sage (Salvia spp.), belonging to the Lamiaceae family, is an aromatic plant and includes about 900 species that grow in several regions all over the world [1]. This genus showed a very high variability of both morphological and cariological characters [2]. Since ancient times, this genus has been used in folk medicine and as a flavoring agent [3].However, recently many studies have focused on the chemical composition [4], histochemical analysis [5], biological [6], antimicrobial [7], and antioxidant properties [8, 9] of this species. Many papers on the secondary metabolites of S. officinalis can be found in the literature. Recent publications have shown some interesting features of its chemical composition, which is determined by their volatile [10-19] and nonvolatile compounds [20], and their applications in antibacterial [14], antifungal [10], and antioxidant activities [8].In Algeria flora there are 18 species [21]; however, there are no studies on sage oil of these species growing in Algeria. Here we report our findings on the chemical composition of the essential oil of S. officinalis collected from Algiers city of Algeria.Air-dried overground parts of S. officinalis were subjected to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. A liquid yellow colored oil was obtained with a yield of 0.9% (w/w), based on dry weight of the plants. The oil was analyzed by GC and GC/MS techniques.The chemical compositions of the essential oil of S. officinalis are given in Table 1 in the order of the retention indices, area percentage, and chemical group of the constituents. Forty-eight compounds were characterized in this oil, representing 90.5% of the total oil. The monoterpene fractions (72.2%) were most abundant in this oil and it was particularly rich in oxygenated derivatives (90.7% of this fraction); camphor (20.4%), α-thujone (19.6%), 1,8-cineole (12.3%), and β-thujone (8.0%) were found as the major compounds. In contrast, the sesquiterpene fraction (18.2%) represents a lower percentage in the oil, represented by viridiflorol (8.0%) as the major component. However, twenty components comprised between 0.1-8.0 %, while twenty-three compounds were present in trace amounts (Table 1). The chemical composition of our oil was found to be closely similar to that of the same species collected in Italy [9], Yugoslavia [11], Bulgaria [17], and Iran [19] which were characterized by its large amount of oxygenated fraction.According to previous data of the chemical composition of the oils obtained by hydrodistillation, steam distillation, or ethanol extraction from aerial parts of S. officinalis from different countries [6,8,9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], α-thujone, α-humulene, and camphor have been reported to be the major compounds in these oils (Table 2).Finally, our results are in agreement with samples of Italian [9], French, Romanian, Czech, Portuguese [13], and Turkish [17] sage oils characterized by camphor (22.0-32.9%) as the most important component, in contrast, samples from many countries are represented ...
