The analysis of the essential oils of Anethum graveolens L. variety “Scythian” cultivated in Russia

Abstract

Anethum graveolens L. (Dill) is an aromatic, medicinal, and food plant that is widely known in the world. This paper presents the results of the study of the essential oil of A. graveolens, which was cultivated in the Stavropol region (Russia, North Caucasus) to restore its growth. Herb of A. graveolens, variety “Scythian”, was collected in different fields of the limited company “Cossack agriculture “Staropavlovskoe”. The essential oil was obtained by Clevenger distillation. The chemical composition of the essential oils was studied by the GC/MS method. 25 compounds were detected in essential oil: carvone; 3.9-epoxy-1-p-menthene; ipsdienol; 2-hydroxycineol; allyl caprate; carveol; 6-camphenol; 5-isopropenyl-2-methyl-7-oxabicyclo [4.1.0] heptane-2-ol; piperitone oxide; 3-methyl-2-pent-2-enyl-cyclopent-2-enone; cis-p-mentha-2.8-dien-1-ol; 2-cyclol piperitone oxidehydroxy-3-methyl-6-(1- methyleth); limonene-6-ol, pivalate; isopulegol acetate; z-(13,14-epoxy) tetradec-11-en-1-ol acetate. The major component in the oil detected was arvone (36.9–44.5%). The obtained data confirmed the positive result of the cultivation of A.graveolens with the content of carvone in the essential oil of herbs comparable to the content of carvone in fruits.
