Differences in the headspace volatile profiles (HS) of fresh and air-dried fruits, stems and aerial parts of Chaerophyllum aureum L. (Apiaceae) were studied here for the first time using HS-GC-MS (head spacegas chromatographymass spectrometry). This was done in order to probe to which level HS volatiles of different plant organs were susceptible to air drying. The most dominant headspace volatiles of all samples were monoterpene hydrocarbons. Sabinene was the major volatile of the fresh aerial parts, air-dried fruits, fresh and air-dried stems, representing 47.8%, 31.4%, 67.7% and 73.0% of the total volatiles, respectively. The most abundant headspace volatiles of the fresh fruits were terpinolene (45.3%), γ-terpinene (13.1%) and β-pinene (10.2%). The airdried aerial parts were characterized by a high amount of limonene (69.0%). The results of HS-GC-MS were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis in order to get a better insight into the similarities/dissimilarities existing between the investigated samples. According to the results of multivariate analysis, the drying process significantly influenced HS volatiles.

The present study reports the chemical composition of the headspace volatiles (HS) and essential oils obtained from fresh Chaerophyllum aromaticum root and aerial parts in full vegetative phase, as well as biological activities of their essential oils and MeOH extracts. In HS samples, the most dominant components were monoterpene hydrocarbons. On the other hand, the essential oils consisted mainly of sesquiterpenoids, representing 73.4% of the root and 63.4% of the aerial parts essential oil. The results of antibacterial assay showed that the aerial parts essential oil and MeOH extract have no antibacterial activity, while the root essential oil and extract showed some activity. Both of the tested essential oils exhibited anticholinesterase activity (47.65% and 50.88%, respectively); MeOH extract of the root showed only 8.40% inhibition, while aerial part extract acted as an activator of cholinesterase. Regarding the antioxidant activity, extracts were found to be more effective than the essential oils.

“…Several investigations have been made on the essential oil composition of Chaerophyllum species [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Previous reports concerning the composition of the essential oil of C. hirsutum revealed that the composition of the oils obtained from different parts of Chaerophyllum hirsutum L. from Germany had the dominate presence of monoterpene hydrocarbons in all oils with up to 66% in the fruits, 38% in the leaves, 88% in the stems and 94% in the roots with smaller amounts of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (up to 6% in the fruits, stems and roots and 28% in the leaves) [17].…”

The present study reports the chemical composition on the headspace volatiles and essential oils obtained from fresh roots, shoots and inflorescences of Chaerophyllum hirsutum. In headspace samples, the most dominant class was monoterpene hydrocarbons, but the main compounds were different. The root had β-phellandrene as the major compound. Sabinene was the main component in the shoots volatiles, while the inflorescence was dominated by endo-fenchyl acetate. The composition of the essential oils of the aerial parts and the oil obtained from root was found to be quite different. The root essential oil showed the presence of phenolic compounds (13.2%), while in the oils from the aerial parts these compounds were present in very small amounts (0.1% in the shoots and 0.2% in the inflorescences oil). In total, 70 compounds were identified in the oil isolated from the root, with γ-terpinene (15.8%) as the major compound of the oil. In the oils isolated from the shoots and the inflorescences, for which 55 and 69 compounds were identified, respectively, the main class was represented by oxygenated sesquiterpenes with acorenone B as the main component, representing 57.0% of the shoots and 44.6% of the inflorescences.
