Phytochemical characteristics and assessment of the diversity of the component composition of essential oil of some species of the genus Juniperus L.
Abstract
The article presents the results of studying the content of essential oil in the green mass of two autochthonous and three introduced species of the genus Juniperus L., growing in the conditions of the Southern Coast of the Crimea. The mass fraction of essential oil in freshly collected raw materials of the studied species ranges from 0.03% to 0.81%. The common features of the essential oil of the studied species were the presence in the composition of monoterpene hydrocarbons: α-pinene, β-myrcene, α-terpinene, p-cymene, γ-terpinene, α-terpinolene, linalool, terpinene-4-ol and sesquiterpenes: α-muurolene, δ-cadinene. The major components of J. excelsa essential oil were α-pinene (46.47%) and cedrol (19.48%), J. deltoides: α-pinene (26.52%) and D-limonene (12.54%), J. chinensis – bornyl acetate (41.35%), J. virginiana: safrole (29.32%), D-limonene (20.18%), elemol (12.7%) and pregeidgerene (10.49%), J. phoenicea: α-pinene (28%), β-fellandrene (19.63%) and α-terpinyl acetate (13.8%). The study of the chemotypic diversity of species of the genus Juniperus L. indicates that in most cases, there is a certain pattern of accumulation of individual components in essential oil, which is of crucial importance both for the practical use of juniper raw materials in order to obtain biologically active substances, and for the possibilities of using available data for the genus chemosystematics.
