Terpenoid Composition of the Essential Oil fromPimpinella acuminata(Edgew.) CB Clarke

Essential Oils of Umbelliferae (Apiaceae) Family Taxa as Emerging Potent Agents for Mosquito Control

“…Finally, the EO of PT has only two differences as compared to the genus EO components, an unidentified component and -elemenone. In general, its composition is in accordance with the phytochemical profiles reported for the EOs of P. aromatica (Baser et al, 1996), P. serbica (Ivanic et al, 1983), P. flabellifolia (Tepe et al, 2006), P. aurea (Tabanca et al, 2005;Assadian et al, 2005), P. acuminata (Melkani et al, 2006), P. barbata (Fakhari & Sonboli, 2006), P. rupicola (Velasco-Negueruela et al 2005), P. corymbosa and P. puberula (Tabanca et al, 2005).…”

Study of the Oil Constituents Extracted From Aerial Parts ofPimpinella aureaDC. From Central Iran

“…Although limonene (3,16,17) and (E)-anethole (3) have been reported in other Pimpinella species as the major compounds, neither of them was found in this oil. b-Caryophyllene, which was the first major component of this oil, has been reported in the oil of some Pimpinella species such as P. acuminata (18) and P. aurea from Northern Iran (19) and in four Pimpinella species growing in Turkey (7). The predominance of b-bisabolene, which was the second major component of the oil, has also been found in the oils of some P. aurea from Turkey (7), Northwestern Tehran, Iran (20) and Eastern Azarbaijan (8) in about 4-39.5%.…”

Composition of the essential oil of Petagnaea gussonei (Sprengel) Rauschert, a relict species from Sicily (Southern Italy)

“…27 Considering in short other two peculiar Mediterranean Eryngium taxa, it is interesting that E. billardieri 16 presents α-muurolene (42%), β-gurjunene (17.0%) and δ-cadinene (6.2%) as the main compounds, while E. caeruleum 18 is peculiar in that it contains a very high concentration of monoterpenes, with limonene (60.5%) and δ-3-carene (13.0%) the major constituents, while in essential oils from P. gussonei and related species monoterpenes are scarce or totally absent. Also, essential oils from Sanicula species have sesquiterpene hydrocarbons as the major compounds: in S. europaea 31 they account for 59.5 -63.8% of the total oil, while in S. elata 30 they account for 86.46% as regards the oil from the aerial parts, with γ-patchoulene (31.0%) and germacrene D (22.0%) as the major constituents.…”
