Abstract:   (5234 Views)
This study aimed to investigate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of essential oils from various parts of Echinophora cinerea Boiss. Samples were collected from the species in Gadane Bijan rangelands in Dena region, Kohgiloyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. Leaves, stems and flowers of the samples were separated and air dried in laboratory. Distillation method was used to extract the essence of the samples. GC-FID and GC/MS devices were used to detect various chemical components of the samples. Results showed that flowers and stems contained the same amount of the essence, much higher than leaves of the species. On the other hand leaves essence had more number of chemical components. The qualitative characteristics of various parts of the species varied considerably. Farnesol <2, 3-dihydro->, Carvacrol, Carvacrol, Oleic acid and Geraniol were identified as appropriate indicators for evaluating essential oil quality of the species. Comparing Terpene components revealed that although Oxygenate Monoterpenes were dominant in stem, leaf and flowers of the species had highest Oxygenate Sesquiterpenes contents. Overall, it can be recommended to extract essential oils from a combination of various parts of E. cinerea as no parts have distinct advantage compared to other parts.
