Characterization of the volatile fraction of Nigritella nigra (L.) Rchb. F. (Orchidaceae), a rare species from the Central Alps / A. Tava in The journal of essential oil research, Vol. 24 N° 1 (Fevrier 2012)

Confalonieri, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 39-44 Note générale : Génie Chimique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Benzyl  alcohol  Essential  oil  composition  GC/MS  analysis  Nigritella  nigra  Orchidaceae  Phenylacetaldehyde  2-phenylethanolVanillin Résumé : The volatile fraction from vegetative aerial parts and inflorescences of Nigritella nigra (L.) Rchb. F. (Orchidaceae) collected in Val Varrone (Orobie Alps, Italy) was isolated by steam distillation and analysed by gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The oil yield was 0.2% and 0.9% (weight/fresh weight bases) for leaves and inflorescences, respectively. Several classes of compounds were detected, including alcohols, aldehydes, hydrocarbons, acids and terpenes. Volatiles from inflorescences were characterized by higher concentrations of alcohols, of which benzyl alcohol (28.9% of the total oil, 246.8 μg/g) and 2-phenylethanol (10.4%, 89.1 μg/g) were the most represented. Leaves were instead characterized by phenylacetaldehyde as the major constituent, quoted as 14.7% (24.0 μg/g) of the total volatiles, followed by linear chain saturated hydrocarbons, a class of compounds representing 40.1% (65.6 μg/g) of the total oil. The presence of vanillin, revealed in inflorescences only and quantified in this plant organ as 0.8% (6.5 μg/g) of the total volatiles, seems to be related to the typical chocolate-like fragrance characteristic of the flowers of this species.

Essential oil composition of Morina longifolia Wall. ex DC. from the Himalayan region / R. S. Chauhan in The journal of essential oil research, Vol. 24 N° 5 (Octobre 2012)

Tava, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : pp. 461-463 Note générale : Génie Chimique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Bicyclogermacrene  Essential  oil  composition  Germacrene  D  Limonene  Morina  longifolia  Morinaceae  Myrcene  Terpenes Résumé : Morina longifolia Wall. ex DC. is an important aromatic plant that is also well-known in ethnomedicine in the Himalayan region. The aerial parts of the plant were collected during the flowering stage and steam distilled in order to characterize the essential oil composition. Thirty-three compounds constituting 94.2% of the total volatiles were identified using gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID) and GC–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The major constituent of the volatile fraction was β-myrcene (42.5%), whereas other important constituents were bicyclogermacrene (8.9%), germacrene D (6.7%) and limonene (6.3%). The characterization of the essential oil might help out to establish new potential applications for this species, both as herbal supplement and as fragrance agent.
