AI Article Synopsis
- Tunisian Hypericum triquetrifolium essential oil was analyzed through GC and GC-MS, identifying 109 compounds making up 92.2% of its total constituents.
- The main components were sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (59.37%), with alpha-humulene and beta-caryophyllene being among the most prevalent.
- Monoterpene hydrocarbons were less significant, with alpha-pinene (10.33%) as the primary representative, and both oxygenated sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes were present in lower concentrations.
Article Abstract
The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Tunisian endemic Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra (Clusiaceae) was analyzed using GC and GC-MS. One hundred and nine compounds consisting of 92.2% of total detected constituents were identified. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were the main constituents (59.37%), Alpha-humulene, cis-calamenene, delta-cadinene, bicyclogermacrene, eremophilene, betacaryophyllene and (E)-gamma-bisabolene were found as the main ones. Alpha-pinene (10.33%) was detected as the main monoterpene hydrocarbons (12.19%). The oxygenated sesquiterpenes constituted (9.33%); caryophyllene oxide (1.38%) was reported as the main constituent of this fraction. The oxygenated monoterpenes were weakly represented (4.62%) and consisted of constituents in low percentages (<1%).
