Chemical Composition of Melaleuca Cajuputi Powell

Abstract

Essential oil extracted from Melaleucagenus has been widely used worldwidefor many purposes. Most of the its has been reported as the source of phytochemical compound where mostly have anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and insecticide properties. Thus, three objectives that have been highlighted in this study are (1) to extract essential oil (cajuput oil) from fresh leaves of MelaleucacajuputiPowell using simple steam distillation,(2) to determine the chemical components of MelaleucacajuputPowell essential oil using GCMS and (3) to compare the chemical compound and its percentage with the previous study.Results found that there were 41 chemical compounds that have been identified. The chemical compounds were monoterpenes such as α-terpinolene, α-pinene, sabinene, 4-terpineol and γ-terpinene. The highest chemical compounds found were caryophyllene (20.16%), α-terpinolene (17.0%),α-humulene (11.91%), βelemene (7.62%) and γ-terpinene (5.62%). In previous research, 1,8-cineole chemical compound was foundhowever, in this study a different chemical compound found, it was caryophyllene, this is due to different geographic area.As a conclusion, most of the compounds found was aromatic, antibacterial andinsecticide properties.

Investigation of Cajuput and Lemongrass Essential Oils Supplemented in Alcohol-Free Mouthwash: Anti-Inflammation on Human Gingival Fibroblast Cells In Vitro

“…The enhancement of essential oils contained in mouthwash that presents anti-inflammatory activity is of interest in this study. Lemongrass essential oil extracted from Cymbopogon citratus and cajuput essential oil extracted from Melaleuca cajuputi Powell have provided evidence supporting their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties [8][9][10]. Several studies have investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of lemongrass essential oil and its main chemical component (citral), demonstrating the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) in LPS-activated macrophages of BALB/c mice [11], and reducing the nitric oxide production through suppression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and NF-кB expression in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells [12].…”

Efektivitas Ekstrak Tumbuhan Rawa sebagai Biopestisida Plutella xylostella dalam Skala Laboratorium

“…Lahan rawa memiliki berbagai jenis flora endemik maupun non-endemik yang beranekaragam, dapat tumbuh subur dalam kondisi tropis (Setyawati et al, 2015;Partomihardjo et al, 2020). Beberapa tumbuhan tersebut mempunyai fungsi sebagai biopestisida (Qin et al, 2010;Syed-Ab-Rahman et al, 2014;Sharif et al, 2019;), refugia (Mahanani, Ramazayandi and Suryana, 2020), pupuk organik (Jama et al, 2000;Hafifah et al, 2016;Lestari, 2016), serta fitoremidiasi (Mohd et al, 2013;Yusmur, Ardiansyah and Mansur, 2019). Dari beberapa penelitian, tumbuhan endemik maupun non-endemik lahan rawa tropis diantaranya Gelam, Cambai karok, Jengah, Bidara, Kipahit, Tapak liman dan Melinjo berpotensi sebagai insektisida karena memilki bahan aktif berupa asam-asam organik hasil metabolit sekunder berstruktur hidrokarbon (Shahat et al, 2001;Sharif et al, 2019;Alotibi et al, 2020;Tavares et al, 2021) sebagai antifeedant dan apabila hama mengonsumsinya akan berdampak pada kerusakan jaringan pencernaan dan pernafasan (Hikal, Baeshen and Said-Al Ahl, 2017;Divekar et al, 2022).…”
