The essential oil composition of Pinus mugo Turra from Serbia

Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oil of the needles and twigs of dwarf pine (Pinus mugo Turra) growing wild in Serbia was investigated. The oil was analysed by GC/MS and the major constituents found were δ δ δ δ δ-3-carene (23.9%), α α α α α-pinene (17.9%), β β β β β-pinene (7.8%) and β β β β β-phellandrene (7.2%).

Essential‐Oil Variability in Natural Populations of Pinus mugoTurra from the Julian Alps

“…In previous investigations of the composition of P. mugo essential oil, 19 [18], 34 [20], and 109 [19]c omponents were detected, respectively, but the abovementioned ninec ompounds were not among them.…”

“…In the present study, d-car-3-ene was also found to be dominant, with b-phellandrene, a-pinene, and b-myrcene having, however, higheraverage contents than b-pinene( Table 1). Considerable variations in the essential-oil composition can be observedb etweent he present results and the P. mugo samples collected in the central Apennines,t he www.cb.wiley.com 2016 Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta AG,Z ürich 2016 Verlag HelveticaChimica Acta AG,Z ürich www.cb.wiley.com [ 20], with dominant contents of d-car-3-ene (23.9%), a-pinene (17.9%), b-pinene (7.8%),a nd b-phellandrene (7.2%), P. mugo oils from Austria [20], for which d-car-3-ene (7.6 -33.2%), a-pinene (7.9 -22.8%), b-phellandrene (2.4 -18.0%),m yrcene (1.7 -21.5%),a nd b-pinene (1.5 -19.0%) were detected as the main components,a nd P. mugo samples from Scotland [25], largely dominated by apinene (33%). From the totald ata set of 57 detectedc omponents,4 0 compounds were selected for principal-component analysis (PCA), discriminant analysis (DA), and clustera nalysis (CA).…”

“…Thep resents tudy supplementst he essential-oil composition with nine compounds that had never been detected in previous investigations of P. mugo, viz., menogene (15) 1 ), decan-2-one (20), linalool acetate ( 27), trans-dec-2-enal (28), p-vinylguaiacol (31), b-copaene (38), trans-cadina-1(6),4-diene ( 40), germacrene D-4-ol (49), and hexadecanal (53). In previous investigations of the composition of P. mugo essential oil, 19 [18], 34 [20], and 109 [19]c omponents were detected, respectively, but the abovementioned ninec ompounds were not among them.…”

Investigation on chemical composition and optimization of essential oil obtainment from waste Pinus taeda L. using hydrodistillation

“…(Table 3) According to Pagula and Baeckström (2006) the main fraction of the essential oils from pine species is monoterpene hydrocarbons (α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, δ-3-carene, β-myrcene, limonene and β-phellandrene), which is in agreement with published results. Researches with Pinus species show that the main components of the oils are monoterpenes, mainly the hydrocarbon type, composing 60-70% of the oil, followed by oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes oxygenated and hydrocarbons (Amri et al 2012;Stevanovic et al 2005;Petrakis et al 2001). Oxygenated monoterpenes were also detected (1.23% in 2011 and 2.83% in 2012) in P. taeda.…”

“…Tricyclene (0.1-0.5% and traces) was not detected in one specie from Italy (P. pinea) and some from Turkey (P. halepensis, P. nigra, P. pinea, and P. sylvestris). The chemical composition of the essential oils of P. nigra (Rezzi et al 2001), P. caribaea (Sonibare and Olakunle 2008), and P. mugo (Stevanovic et al 2005) have also been previously investigated. β-pinene was present in all species, amounting 0.5 to 25.1%, β-phellandrene from 1.1 to 67.9% and α-pinene from 5.4 to 70.0%.…”
