Phytochemical Study of Volatile Oils for the Ocimum basilicum L. and Mentha spicata By Gas Chromatography Technique

Abstract

This study emphasized on the identification and detection the secondary metabolism compounds different of volatile oils by Gas Chromatography Technique of Ocimum basilicum L. and Mentha spicata L plant from Labiate (Lamiaceae) family cultivated in Iraq by suxhlet apparatus. the medicinal importment acquired this study and to know the active compound in the volatile oil was identified in plant extract of aerial parts by Gas Chromatography Mass, The result showed that of (80g) of O.basilicum and M. spicata has produced volatile oil ( 2.5% and 3. 75%) respectively, The study has shown that essential oil of O.basilicum 25 compounds and had the highest compound concentration Estragole reaching it is percentage (23.46%) followed Cyclohexanol,5-methyl-2-(1methyl ethyl) (14.19%), Then Tetrapentaconate, 1,54-dibromo compound concentration (8.99%). concentration the M. spicata, the study showed that it contain 25 compound and that the compound Isopropyl linoleate has the highest compound concentration of (21.83%) followed by the Cyclohexanol,5-methyl-2-(1-methyl ethyl) 13.38%, then Octadecenoic acid (E) with concentration of ( 7.75%). The aim of this study compare the phytochemical of different volatile oil extract of O. basilicum L. and M. spicata L.

Preparation and Embedding Characterization of Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/Menthyl Acetate Microcapsules with Enhanced Stability

“…The determination of volatile oil via gas chromatography has the advantages of simple operation and high sensitivity. Therefore, this paper uses and optimizes gas chromatography [ 21 , 22 , 23 ] to establish an efficient detection method suitable for MA in microcapsules. On this basis, HP-β-CD/MA microcapsules with enhanced MA solubility and stability were prepared via the spray drying method.…”
