The Essential Oil Profiles of Chaerophyllum crinitum and C. macrospermum Growing wild in Turkey

Abstract

The current study reports the essential oil compositions of the aerial parts of Chaerophyllum crinitum Boiss. and Chaerophyllum macrospermum (Willd. ex Spreng.) Fisch. & C.A. Mey. ex Hohen. collected from Bitlis and Hakkari in Turkey, respectively. The essential oils, which were obtained with water distillation were analyzed by GC and GC-MS, simultaneously. The essential oil of C. crinitum were characterized with (E)-β-ocimene (38.1%) and terpinolene (12.7%), while terpinolene (21.4%), myristicin (18.9%), p-cymen-8-ol (11.9%) were identified as major components for C. macrospermum essential oil.

Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Phenolic Component Analysis of Some Edge Medicinal Plants

“…In a study conducted in 2021, it is observed that only the essential oil compositions of the aerial parts of Chaerophyllum macrospermum collected from Bitlis and Hakkari in Türkiye are detected. 14 In a 2018 study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity properties of methanol, ethanol, and acetone extracts of some plants, including the genus Chaerophyllum, were investigated. Antioxidant activities of the extracts were determined by DPPH and ABTS radical methods and antimicrobial activities were determined by agar well diffusion method.…”

“…13 Studies were conducted with the genus Arum and Chaerophyllum in different regions and the results showed that these plants have the opportunity to be used in pharmacology. 9,14 Although, the species of these two plants have traditionally known medicinal and other uses in Hakkari (in Türkiye), their pharmacological properties have not yet been studied by scientific research. Based on the knowledge that plants have different characteristics in different ecological environments, some biological characteristics of these plants in Hakkari province were evaluated for the first time in this study.…”

Chaerophyllum libanoticum Boiss. Et Kotschy: The fruit essential oil, composition, skin-whitening and antioxidant activities

“…Essential oil components are responsible for the characteristic fragrance of Chaerophyllum species, and various studies have been reported on the volatile composition of different parts and origins [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Previous investigations on biological properties of Chaerophyllum species revealed that they possess various biological activities such as antimicrobial [7,10], antioxidant [7,10], anti-inflammatory [7], angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition [12], glutathione-S-transferase inhibition [13], cytotoxic properties [14].…”
