Abstract: (3705 Views)
The relation of altitude and soil, on the quality and quantity of essential oil of Cichorium intybus obviously is not denayable. For that it is the subject of this study in Lizour, Firoozkooh, Iran. Three altitudes of 2400-2700, 3000-23300 meters and 3,000-300 meters were selected for the study and samples were taken from the above ground and roots of the plant when they were at the full flowering stage. Samples of leaves and stems were air dried in the Lab. Essence of the plant was extracted by hydrodistillation method and using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The essential oils compounds was detected by injection of the essecnce to a gas chromatograph (GC) and the gas chromatograph attached to the mass spectrometer (GC / MS). Results showed that oil yields at altitude classes of 2400-2700, 2700-3000 and 3000-3300 meters is 0.39, 0.50 and 0.58 percent respectively. Major components of aerial parts and root were Betapinen, Siskadin 4en 7ol, Sisabinen hydrate, Iodsma, Hioumioulen opoucsayd 2 and Alpha Bisabolol. The oil yields of root from three elevation classes of 2400-2700, 2700-3000 and 3000-3300 meters, are 0.68, 0.74 and 0.71 percent respectively. Correlation between chemical properties and essence yield with all soil factors but EC and pH are possitive. Result of the study suggests that the highest product could be taken at a height between 3000-2700 meters above sea level.
