Comparison of essential oil compositions of fresh and dried plant of endemic Salvia cadmica Boiss. var. bozkiriensis Celep, Kahraman & Doğan, in Turkey

Turkish

In this study, essential oil compositions of Salvia cadmica Boiss. var. bozkiriensis Celep, Kahraman & Doğan, dried and fresh aerial parts collecting from type locality was investigated. Essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation for 3 h using Clevenger type apparatus and the compositions was determined in GC-MS. In this research, it was observed that the EO compositions varied with respect to be fresh or dry of the plant parts. The LSD test results revealed that the highest EO content was 2-nonanone 29.59 % in fresh aerial parts, while the highest content was pulegone 20.14 % in dried part of the plant. Furthermore, some EO components were not found in the fresh aerial parts, while it was determined in dried parts of the plant p-methylanisole, isomenthone, p-cymene, homofuranol, azunol, isomenthone, carvacrol, menthylacetate, roseoxide-2-one, pulegone, lauric aldehyde, isogermacrene-epoxide, isoborneol, geranyl butyrate, valealdehyde and safranol . On the contrary, some components were observed in the fresh aerial parts, while it was not found in dried parts of the plant lindoxide, 2-oxapropanoic acid, α-terpineol, α-terpinene, carvone, geranyl butyrate, valealdehyde and safranol . The objective of the study was that the determination of the differences between the EO compounds and compositions varied according to be the plant fresh or dry
