“…Damjanović et al isolated volatile compounds from berries of common juniper by three different techniques: hydrodistillation, hexane extraction and supercritical CO 2 extraction [10]. They obtained the essential oil with yield of 2.17% using hydrodistillation, the hexane extraction yield was 5.31% and supercritical CO 2 extraction yield was 0.96%.…”

“…The composition of the essential oil varies upon origin of berries but consists mainly of monoterpene hydrocarbons (about 60% of the essential oil). The major constituent of the unripe and ripe berry essential oils of J. communis from European countries is α-pinene [10,16,17,22,[24][25][26], (tab. 1).…”

SummaryJuniperus communis L. (Cupressaceae) is a plant widely cultivated in the Northern hemisphere. Juniper berries, the fruit of Juniperus communis L. are a highly valued, essential oil-rich plant material used traditionally in folk medicine as antiseptic, diuretic, antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungicidal agent. This paper reviews information on extraction methods of the essential oil from the juniper berries, its chemical composition and antimicrobial as well as antioxidant properties.

“…The EO of aromatic herbs is usually isolated by either hydrodistillation 6,7 or extraction with classical solvents like hexane or ethanol, 8 as traditional spice-processing methods. These techniques present serious drawbacks: low extraction efficiency, long extraction time, toxic residual solvent in the products and deterioration of the thermally sensitive materials.…”

“…[9][10][11] Much work has recently been done on the composition of juniper berry essential oil obtained by traditional techniques. [12][13][14][15][16] Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) extraction has gained increasing attention in the recovery of EOs, since the use of CO 2 as solvent protects extract from thermal degradation and solvent contamination. Carbon dioxide is a GRAS solvent and is a widely used compressed fluid possessing convenient properties (P c = 73.825 bar, T c = 31.06°C).…”

Ripe fruits (berries) of common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) from northern Montenegro were extracted by hydrodistillation and by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) in a single-stage separation system. The composition of the extracts was evaluated by GC-FID and GC-MS. A total of 38 different compounds were identified and significant differences (qualitative and quantitative) were observed between the hydrodistilled oil and the SC-CO 2 extracts. In the hydrodistilled oil, major compounds were: α α α α α-pinene (28.6-38.2%), sabinene (15.7-20.5%) and myrcene (7.2-18.2%). In the SC-CO 2 extracts, major compounds were: α α α α α-pinene (7.7-30.3%), myrcene (4.5-20.5%) and germacrene B and D (~6%). The analysis of the results has shown that the grinding process has a significant influence on the yield and chemical composition of essential oil. In SC-CO 2 extraction different pressures were applied and the best process performance regarding chemical composition of the extract and its organoleptic quality was obtained at 90 bar and 40°C in the extraction vessel.

Juniperus communis var. communis L. is an aromatic plant - typical boreal element of flora. In the extensive literature concerning J. communis, there is much data on the composition and the content of essential oil of needles and coneberries, but a detailed analysis of terpene distribution within and between populations is missing. A representative pool of 74 J. communis individuals originating from ten populations of Northern Poland was investigated in order to evaluate the intra- and interpopulational variability of the terpene pattern. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with GC/MS and GC/FID was applied in achiral and enantioselective analysis. The majority of the samples (85%), despite different origin, were similar in the terpene pattern. High diversity of terpenes was observed within the populations and low diversity between them. High variation of enantiomeric composition was in accordance with large variation of individual compounds in general (achiral analysis). J. communis samples from Northern Poland could be distinguished by the alpha-pinene/sabinene ratio, and they were divided into three chemical races.
