“…It is proposed that the co-occurrence of octyl acetate and hexyl butyrate in fruit essential oils might be a characteristic of the genus Heracleum. The present results were in agreement with published data on the fruit-oil compositions of H. pastinacifolium [16] [29]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the composition of the fruit essential oils of H. gorganicum, H. anisactis, H. rechingeri, and H. rawianum.…”

“…Indeed, a remarkable aspect of this study is the noticeable variation in the essential-oil contents of the examined species. Similar to the present results, Scheffer et al [29] and Sefidkon et al [28] have previously reported high essential-oil yields of 4.0 and 3.5%, respectively, for the fruits of H. persicum. The high yields of the fragrant oils obtained from the fruits of the Iranian species H. persicum, H. gorganicum, and H. rechingeri proposed these indigenous species as good sources for propagation, cultivation, and breeding programs for the production of oils of interest for the pharmaceutical, food, and perfume industries.…”

The fruit essential oils of Heracleum persicum, H. rechingeri, H. gorganicum, H. rawianum, H. pastinacifolium, and H. anisactis from Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation and characterized by GC-FID and GC/MS analyses. The oils of the six species were compared to determine the similarities and differences among their compositions. Overall, 36 compounds were identified in the fruit oils, accounting for 92.40-96.74% of the total oil compositions. Aliphatic esters constituted the main fraction of the oils (86.61-94.31%), with octyl acetate and hexyl butyrate as the major components. The oil compositions of species belonging to section Pubescentia (H. persicum, H. gorganicum, and H. rechingeri) were discriminated by equally high contents of both octyl acetate (13.84-20.48%) and hexyl butyrate (17.73-38.36%). On the other hand, the oils of H. rawianum, H. pastinacifolium and H. anisactis, belonging to section Wendia, showed lower hexyl butyrate contents (3.62-6.6%) and higher octyl acetate contents (48.71-75.36%) than the former. Moreover, isoelemicin was identified at low amounts (0.10-2.51%) only in the oils of the latter species. The differences in the oil composition among the six species were investigated by hierarchical cluster and principal component analyses, which indicated that the oil composition confirmed well the taxonomical classification based on the morphological and botanical data, and, thus, may provide a reliable marker to discriminate Heracleum species at the intersectional level.

“…Previously, Scheffer et al (1984) and Hajhashemi et al (2009) reported these two components as the major constituents. A number of chemical constituents, such as alkaloids, volatile substances, terpenoids, triterpenes and furanocoumarins have been isolated from fruit and different parts of the anglica (Sefidkon et al 2002;Mojab and Nickavar 2003;Sefidkon et al 2004;Hajhashemi et al 2009).…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of hydroalcoholic extract of Heracleum Persicum fruit (HPE) on performance, immune responses, small intestine morphology, haematological parameters and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. A total of 300 day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates of 12 chicks each. The treatments were comprised of a corn-soybean meal base diet supplemented with five levels of HPE at 0(control), 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg diet. Average daily feed intake (ADFI) was increased by 100 mg/kg of HPE comparing to control group during 11-24 d (p < 0.05). HPE at the levels of 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg, decreased (p < 0.05) serum cholesterol comparing to control group and showed a linear response to different levels of HPE (p = 0.0007). Also, LDL was decreased by 300 mg/kg of HPE (p < 0.05). The villus height to crypt depth ratio (VH/CD) was increased by 400 mg/kg of HPE, comparing to control group at 42 d (p < 0.05). Also, this ratio showed a linear response to different levels of HPE (p = 0.007). The results of this study indicated that HPE improves performance and intestine morphometrical and haematological parameters of broiler chickens. ARTICLE HISTORY

Chemical composition, antibacterial and antifungal activities of essential oil from Heracleum Siamicum Craib

Heracleum siamicum Craib (Apiaceae), is an important herbal species having wide application in food flavoring processes. The flat-oval shaped fruit of H. siamicum Craib from North Thailand was hydrodistilled, and the chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The essential oil yield based on dried plant material was 1.25%, and twenty-five compounds (corresponding to 97.69% of the total weight) were identified. The main components were: n-octyl acetate (65.30%), o-cymene (10.35%), limonene (7.52%), d-2-carene (6.87%), cis-thujone (1.92%), isobornyl acetate (0.94%), n-octanol (0.73%), 1,8-cineol (0.62%), n-tridecanol (0.44%), and safrole (0.37%). H. siamicum essential oil demonstrated bactericidal and fungicidal activity against five bacterial strains and two fungal strains, as evaluated using agar diffusion in terms of the minimum inhibitory concentration.
