Essential Oil Composition ofZiziphora clinopodioidesLam. From Iran

Abstract

The composition of the essential oil obtained from the dried aerial parts of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. (Labiatae) was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Seventy-one components have been identified in the essential oil of Z. clinopodioides. The major constituents of the essential oil were 1,8-cineole (10.4%), iso-menthone (6.0%) and β-pinene (5.6%).

Chemical ​Composition and in ​Vitro ​Antibacterial ​Effect of Ziziphora clinopodioides ​Essential ​Oil

“…The results of the oil yield were in accordance with Behravan et al, 9 which they reported the yield of their essential oil 0.75%, but higher levels of essential oil yields (1.1% and 0.98%) was reported by Amiri 8 and Morteza-Semnani et al, 11 respectively. Analysis of the obtained essential oil from leaves of Z. clinopodioides by GC-MS leads to the identification of eighteen components, representing 99.65% of the total essential oil (Table 1).…”

“…19 In contrast with our results, Sonboli , isomenthone (6.0%) and α-pinene (5.6%) were the major components. 11 As described above, variability and diversity in the major constituents depending on numerous factors. Hence, further studies are required to investigate the chemical composition of Z. clinopodioides essential oil which grows in different parts of Iran.…”

“…Also, methyl acetate, iso-neomenthol, isomenthone and α-pinene have been reported as the most important constitutes. [7][8][9][10][11][12] Based on knowledge of author, in comparison to many other pharmaceutical-industrial plants, there is a very little data about chemical composition and antibacterial activity of Z. clinopodioides essential oil collected from Kermanshah province, west of Iran. Hence, the aim of the current study was (i): determination of chemical composition of its hydro-distilled essential oil obtained from Gilan Gharb city, Kermanshah province, west of…”

“…Moreover, it is commonly and widely applied as a flavoring agent in foods such as dairy and meat products. 14…”

Potential Application of Ziziphora Clinopodioides Essential Oil and Nisin as Natural Preservatives Against Bacillus Cereus and Escherichia Coli O157: H7 in Commercial Barley Soup

“…Phytochemical studies on Z. clinopodioides has confirmed the presence of pulegone, 1,8‐cineole, thymol, carvacrol, p ‐cymene and limonene in this species (Morteza‐Semnani et al . ; Aghajani et al . ).…”
