Elionurus muticus as an Alternative Source of Citral from Pampa biome, Brazil

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

International audienceElionurus muticus is a grass from Pampa biome and it is an excellent alternative as natural source of citral in southern Brazil. The essential oil has a high citral level (80%) and presents variability for other important chemical compounds. The present studies indicated its cytotoxic effect against Artemia salina and also suggested its application in the control of pathogenic fungi. E. muticus could become an alternative to synthetic fungicides for using in agro-industries and also to screen and develop novel types of selective and natural fungicides

“…It is native from Pampa biome, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The essential oil yield of both species is similar 6 . In addition, as E. muticus occurs in abundance in Pampa biome, it demands little or no management, especially when compared with C. citratus.…”

“…C. validus essential oils and decoctions are used traditionally as anti-rodent, fermifuge, emetic, anti-infective, and anti-plasmodic; they also help in treating morning sickness [2,7]. Chagonda et al [7] reported that the major components from wild C. validus essential oils from Zimbabwe were myrcene (23.1%-35.6%), (E)-β-ocimene (10.3%-11.5%), geraniol (3.4%-8.3%), linalool (3.2%-3.7%) and camphene (5.2%-6.0%); in cultivated C. validus essential oils myrcene (11.6%-20.2%), (E)-β-ocimene (6.0%-12.2%), borneol (3.9%-9.5%), geraniol (1.7%-5.0%) and camphene (3.3%-8.3%) were the major components. Naidoo also revealed that C. validus essential oils from Durban contained α-cubenene, camphene, citronellal, geraniol, limonene, palmitic acid and sabinene as the major components [10].…”

“…What work is reported concerns Elyonurus muticus [1], [2], [3], Elionurus elegans [4] and Elyonurus viridulus [5]. The essential oil derived from both the aerial parts (stems) and the below-ground parts (roots) of Elionurus elegans possesses antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties [4].…”

Elionurus hensii yields essential oils composed mainly of para-menthadienols in its stems and about 50 % aristo lone in its roots. These oils, which exhibit anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties, were extracted by hydro distillation with a local extractor and was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC/FID and GC/MS). To optimize this domestic process, a 2 3 full factorial design is used to assess the effects and interactions of potentially influential factors. Stems yield 1-2% in essential oil. The extraction time and the degree of division of the plant material had negligible effects on the yield. Only the residual water content had a significant positive effect, together with the interaction between this content and the degree of division. The cumulated content of the four isomeric paramenthadienols present in the oil was insensitive to the effects and interactions of the factors. Roots yield 0.5 -0.9 % in essential oil. The overall effects and interactions of factors on the yield and the aristo lone content were negligible. Principal component analysis of samples obtained with the experimental design, and their radar plots, indicated a very strong resemblance between oils obtained from the same plant part, and a marked difference between those obtained from different plant parts.
