“…It comprises three Acinos alpinus samples available as bundles. Literature evidence suggests that the essential oils of Acinos alpinus from Greece and adjacent Turkey are rich in sesquiterpenes and lack p-menthane compounds (Kaya et al, 1999;Skaltsa et al, 1999), whereas those from plants grown in Spain and Morocco may be rich in either sesquiterpenes (Velasco-Neguerela et al, 1993) or in pulegone (Bellakhdar et al, 1988;Esteban, 1995). Group B: Samples with a pungent smell.…”

“…This té has a very pleasant aroma since it contains pulegone, as well as ␣-pinene, menthone and limonene. It has antispasmodic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties (Velasco-Negueruela et al, 1993;Esteban, 1995;Kaya et al, 1999).…”

Although the word té (tea) in Spanish is derived from the Chinese tscha and refers to the oriental plant Camellia sinensis, it is popularly used throughout Spain to refer to at least 70 different plant species. These are usually collected in the countryside, boiled dry or fresh, and drunk after meals. The drinking of té is a social habit that encourages conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. Tés are also commonly used as digestifs and stomachics, and in some cases as laxatives, antidiarrhoeics, and to reduce the blood pressure. They are not used as stimulants. It appears that the habit of drinking Camellia sinensis afforded the cognitive context for drinking other infusions with no specific medicinal purpose. Some té species are very common in Spain (and their use is quite extended), others are endemic, and others still are allochthonous that now live in the wild. The majority of these species belong to the families Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. The most important and widely distributed are Jasonia glutinosa, Sideritis hyssopifolia, Lithospermum officinale, Chenopodium ambrosioides and Bidens aurea. Other remarkable but more locally used tés include Cruciata glabra (only in the Pyrenees), Inula salicina and Mentha arvensis (in the Central Mountain Range of Madrid), and Potentilla caulescens (in Tarragona).

“…A. arvensis was once used to treat bruises, toothache, sciatica and neuralgia. 4 The chemical composition of the oils of A. arvensis, 3-5 A. suaveolens, 4,5,7,8 A. alpinus, [9][10][11] A. majoranifolius, 12 A. rotundifolius 4 and A. troodi 13 was previously studied. There is also one paper devoted to the oil content, the qualitative and quantitative composition of tannins and the qualitative analysis of the flavonoids.…”

Experimental Plant materialThe plant material was collected in Rtanj, Serbia, at the blooming stage (July 2000). A voucher specimen is deposited in Herbarium Moesicum Doljevac (HMD; no. 367). Dried and pulverized aerial parts of the plant (100 g) were hydrodistilled for 2.5 h using a Clevengertype apparatus. 14-16 Identification procedureThe oil analysis was performed using GC and GC/ MS. Constituents of the oil were identified by comparison of their mass spectra to those from the MS library (Wiley 275.l) using a computer search and literature. 17 For the purpose of quantitative analysis the area percentage obtained by FID was used as the basis. The GC analysis of the oils was carried out on a GC HP-5890 II apparatus, equipped with the split-splitless injector, attached to an HP-5 column (25 m × 0.32 mm; 0.52 µm film thickness) and fitted to FID. The carrier gas flow rate (H 2 ) was 1 ml/min, the split ratio 1:30, the injector temperature 250°C and the detector temperature 300°C, while the column temperature was linearly programmed from 40 to 240°C at the rate of 4°C/min. The same analytical conditions were employed for GC/MS analysis, where an HP G 1800C Series II GCD system was used. The transfer line was heated to 260°C. The mass spectra were acquired in EI mode (70 eV), in m/e range 40-400 (column HP-5MS 30 m × 0.25 mm, 0.25 µm film thickness).
