Study of clones ofSalvia officinalis L. Yields and chemical composition of essential oil

The Chemotaxonomy of Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) Based on the Volatile Constituents

“…The sage oils were qualitatively similar and dominated by the monoterpenoids α-thujone (17–27%), 1,8-cineole (12–27%), and camphor (13–21%), with lesser amounts of β-thujone (3.8–6.0%), camphene (3.5–5.3%), and the sesquiterpene α-humulene (3.1–4.4%). This chemical profile is similar to many sage oil descriptions previously reported [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 37 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 55 , 57 , 58 , 60 , 61 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 67 ], yet notably different from many others [ 14 , 25 , 26 , 34 , 37 , 38 , 41 , 46 , 54 , 56 ]. This prompted us to undertake a hierarchical cluster analysis of S. officinalis leaf oil compositions in order to describe the various chemotypes of this herb.…”

Antimicrobial activity of essential oil of Salvia officinalis L. collected in Syria

“…The essential oil of S. officinalis has low viscosity and sharp herbal smell; the olfactive qualities of this oil are due to existence of caryophyllene (Chalcat et al, 1998). The content and composition of S. officinalis essential oil changes according to the surrounding ecological factors as well as to the plant's development stages (Perry et al, 1999;Santos-Gomes and Fernandes-Ferreira, 2001;Maksimovic et al, 2007).…”

Handheld Raman Spectroscopy for the Distinction of Essential Oils Used in the Cosmetics Industry

“…As was reported by various authors, the main components of sage essential oil are camphor, α-thujone, β-thujone and 1,8-cineole [11,55]. Chalchat et al [55] found that the proportion of the main components of sage essential oil depends on the origin of the plant; camphor or α-thujone appeared as the major compounds depending on the country from which the plants originated.…”

“…Chalchat et al [55] found that the proportion of the main components of sage essential oil depends on the origin of the plant; camphor or α-thujone appeared as the major compounds depending on the country from which the plants originated. The Raman spectrum of camphor shows a very strong band at 651 cm −1 (ring deformation) and characteristic bands for the C=O stretching and CH3/CH2 bending modes at 1741 and 1448 cm −1 , respectively [34].…”
