“…In the present study, caryophyllene and its oxide were found in the essential oils of all Salvia species, which was in accordance with previous work that reported it as an effective anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial . Moreover, the germacrene D from essential oils can be used as a larvicidal crop protector (Teles et al, 2013). Limonene (20.5%) was the most abundant compound in S. przewalskii leaf oil; ␣-terpineol (4.66%) and ␤-eudesmol (4.08%) were also abundant in this sage oil.…”

“…The effect of different distillation methods on oil content and composition has been previously reported [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Other factors such as cultivation, soil and climatic conditions, harvesting time or postharvest management, can also determine EO composition and quality [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

Medicinal plants play an important role in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, even if their chemical constituents are not always completely recognized. Observations on their use and efficacy significantly contribute to the disclosure of their therapeutic properties. Calamintha nepeta (L.) Savi is an aromatic herb with a mint-oregano flavor, used in the Mediterranean areas as a traditional medicine. It has an extensive range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-ulcer and insecticidal properties. This study aims to review the scientific findings and research reported to date on Calamintha nepeta (L.) Savi that prove many of the remarkable various biological actions, effects and some uses of this species as a source of bioactive natural compounds. On the other hand, pulegone, the major chemical constituent of Calamintha nepeta (L.) Savi essential oil, has been reported to exhibit numerous bioactivities in cells and animals. Thus, this integrated overview also surveys and interprets the present knowledge of chemistry and analysis of this oxygenated monoterpene, as well as its beneficial bioactivities. Areas for future research are suggested.

“…Os óleos extraídos foram secos com sulfato de sódio anidro, com objetivo de evitar perdas por hidrólise durante o armazenamento. O óleo foi recolhido, em seguida, armazenada em frascos selados a -5 o C e protegido pela luz com folha de alumínio, até a realização da análise química, conforme Teles et al (2012Teles et al ( , 2013 em que: Ro -rendimento de óleo essencial produzido To -teor de óleo essencial MSPA -massa seca da parte aérea da planta de manjericão, g por planta; (Santos et al, 2004) Para a análise da composição química, 20 mg de óleo essencial foram diluídas em 1 mL de acetato de etila, e 1 µL de volume foi injetado.…”

RESUMO:O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o teor, o rendimento e a composição química do óleo essencial de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.) submetido ao estresse salino por NaCl. Para tanto, o experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, sob delineamento inteiramente casualizado, caracterizado por 5 (cinco) tratamentos de NaCl, adicionados à água de irrigação (0,01 -controle,T1; 1,2 -T2; 2,3 -T3; 3,4 -T4 e 4,5 dS m -1 -T5, correspondendo respectivamente a 0,1; 12,0; 23,0; 34,0 e 45,0 mM ), com 4 (quatro) repetições. Aos 55 dias após o transplantio, as plantas foram colhidas, colocadas em sacos de papel e levadas a estufa de secagem com fluxo de ar forçado a 45 °C, por 10 dias até atingirem massas constantes. Após a secagem, foi realizada a pesagem da biomassa seca da parte aérea, misturada, moída em triturador elétrico de facas e posteriormente realizada a extração do óleo essencial para análise do teor, rendimento e composição química. O aumento do estresse por NaCl não alterou o teor e a composição química do óleo essencial, cujo rendimento reduziu 12,93% a cada acréscimo unitário dos níveis de salinidade. O cinamato de metila, cujo teor médio encontrado foi de 55%, e o metil chavicol, com 12%, foram os principais compostos identificados nas plantas de manjericão.Palavras-chave: salinidade, Ocimum basilicum L., metabolismo secundário ABSTRACT: Content, yield and chemical composition of essential oil of sweet basil plants subjected to NaCl saline stress. This study aimed to evaluate the content, yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plants subjected to NaCl saline stress. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, in a completely randomized design, with 5 (five) NaCl treatments added to the irrigation water (0.01 -control, T1; 1.2 -T2; 2.3 -T3; 3.4 -T4 and 4.5 dS m -1 -T5, corresponding respectively to 0.1; 12.0; 23.0; 34.0 and 45.0 mM) and 4 (four) replicates. At 55 days after transplanting, plants were harvested, put in paper bags and taken to a forced-air oven at 45 ºC for 10 days, until reaching constant mass. After drying, the dry biomass of the aerial part was weighed, mixed, grinded in an electric blade grinder and later taken to an essential oil extraction so that its content, yield and chemical composition could be analyzed. The increase of NaCl stress did not change neither the content nor the chemical composition of the essential oil, whose yield was reduced by 12.93% for each unit increase in the salinity level. The methyl cinnamate, with an average content of 55%, and the methyl chavicol, with 12%, were the main compounds identified in the sweet basil plants.
