“…Iranian M. longifolia species contained piperitenon (43.9%), tripal (14.3%) and oxathiane (9.3%) as major constituents (Khani & Asghari, 2012). Singh et al (2008) identified piperitenone oxide, trans-piperitone oxide and cis-piperitenone oxide as the main constituents of M. longifolia grown in Himachal, India. On the other hand, main compounds in Tunisian species were very close to Saudi species, pulegone, isomenthone and 1,8-cineole (Mkaddem et al, 2009).…”

“…The constituents of essential oils of the same plant species differ qualitatively and quantitatively according to the environmental conditions and to the method the plant is manipulated: fresh, air-dried, oven-dried, etc. (Asekun et al, 2007;Ross & Sombrero, 1991;Singh et al, 2008). Many targets, including acetylcholinesterase and octopaminic systems, have been proposed as the cause of killing insects exposed to fumigation with essential oils (Kostyukovsky et al, 2002;Enan, 2005a,b;Orhan et al, 2008;López & Pascual-Villalobos, 2010;Şenol et al, 2010).…”

Mentha longifolia (L.) and Lavandula dentata (L.) (Lamiaceae) are two wild growing folk medicine plants that in Saudi Arabia. This work was conducted to investigate the chemical composition and evaluate the fumigant toxicity of their essential oils against the adults (3-5-day-old) of cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae). The main compounds in M. longifolia oil were pulegone (74.95%), 1,8-cineole (7.35%), l-menthone (6.62%), and eucarvone (2.68%), while the main constituents in L. dentata oil were camphor (61.43%), fenchone (24.3%), d-fenchol (2.15%), and linalool (1.52%). The two oils showed LC 50 values of 4.43 and 7.92 µl/L air and exhibited antiacetylcholinesterase activity with IC50 values of 1.01 and 9.74 µl/ml, respectively. The results proved the potential use of these natural materials as effective alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

“…In two samples out of four (Nos 10 and 11, collected from the same place) rather high concentrations of germacrene D with α-muurolene, limonene with 1,8-cineole (samples 5, 10, and 12), and trans-β-caryophyllene (samples 10 and 11) and less trans-dihydrocarvone (samples 5 and 12) and piperitone (samples 10 and 11) were found. Other authors identified the mentofuran-rich (Viljoen et al, 2006), piperitone oxide-rich (Hussain et al, 2010a), cispiperitone oxide and piperitenone oxide-rich (Viljoen et al, 2006;Singh et al, 2008;Kakhky et al, 2009), menthone-rich (Asekun et al, 2007), menthone, menthol, and pulegone-rich (Hajlaoui et al, 2008), pulegone-rich (Mkaddem et al, 2009), carvone and limonene-rich, piperitenone oxide and 1,8-cineole-rich (Koliopoulos et al, 2010) chemotypes of M. longifolia. The oils of M. spicata contained much more myrcene (2.3-5.5%) than M. longifolia (0.6-0.9%).…”

The content and composition of essential oils in leaves of Mentha × piperita L., M. spicata L., M. arvensis L., and M. longifolia (L.) Huds. from Estonia were investigated using hydrodistillation and GC-MS analyses. Some chemosystematic markers for the identification of Mentha species are presented. The essential oil yield of the studied species was 2.4-3.0%, 0.9-2.3%, 0.9-1.4%, and 0.7-2.5%, respectively. From the isolated essential oils, 75, 89, 67, and 69 compounds were identified and quantitatively evaluated, representing 92.2-99.5% of the total oil. The main constituents of M. × piperita oils were menthol (26.4-47.7%) and menthone (13.6-31.9%); the ratio of their content was usually between 1 and 3. Four chemotypes of M. spicata were determined: rich in carvone (62.1-67.4%), rich in piperitenone oxide (61.9%), rich in α-terpinyl acetate + trans-β-caryophyllene (61.9% and 11.4%, respectively), and rich in acetic acid,1-methyl-1-(4-methyl-5-oxo-cyclohex-3-enyl) ethyl ether (6.5%). The last two chemotypes were determined for the first time. Only the essential oils of M. arvensis were found to contain trans-1-octen-3-ol (3.8-7.7%) and neryl propionate (2.4% in both samples). Good chemosystematic markers for M. arvensis were also trans-(16.0-19.1%) and cis-β-ocimene (16.0-20.5%). The ocimene-rich chemotype was found by us for the first time. The chemosystematics of M. longifolia was found to be the most complicated, as many chemotypes have been determined by us and several other authors. In this study, a high concentration of carvone (51.4-57.6%) was characteristic of all analysed M. longifolia samples.

“…Many workers (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) reported that M. longifolia essential oil is a good source of piperitenone oxide, cis-piperitone oxide, menthone, pulegone and menthol. Sharopov et al (20) reported piperitenone oxide, cis-piperitone oxide and menthone as major components in several collections from Tajikistan; Saeidi et al (21) found piperitenone oxide and pulegone as major components in collections from Iran but in our case menthone, menthol and pulegone were not detected despite being sought specifically.…”

The present study was designed to assess differences in chemical composition and antioxidant potential of essential oils and oleoresins from fresh and sun-dried Mentha longifolia L. Essential oils and oleoresins were obtained by hydrodistillation and solvent extraction (n-hexane and ethanol), respectively. The chemical profile was evaluated by using gas chromatography (GC) and GC coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Antioxidant effectiveness was examined by five different methods, namely the ferric thiocyanate (FTC) method, the 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method, determination of the metal chelating power, and determination of the peroxide and thiobarbituric acid values in mustard oil at 0.02% concentration. The chemical composition was dominated by the presence of piperitenone oxide, an oxygenated monoterpene whose composition varied from 23.2% to 88.5% in both essential oils and oleoresins. Based on the antioxidant potential of essential oils, oleoresins and synthetic antioxidants can be sorted in the following descending order: butylatedhydroxytoluene > dried mint essential oil > fresh mint essential oil > propyl gallate > fresh mint ethanol oleoresin > dried mint ethanol oleoresin > dried mint hexane oleoresin > fresh mint hexane oleoresin. The drying process has a significant influence on the qualitative and quantitative content of the extracted substances.
