Title : Chemical profiling of three salvia species by Hs-SPME coupled with GC-MS
Abstract:
Salvia, the largest genus of Lamiaceae, includes about 900 species, widespread throughout the world. This family is rich in therapeutic and flavoring plant species with characteristics aroma. Present study was aimed at the identification of chemical profile via Head Space Solid-Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) of selected Salvia species ; Salvia verticillata, Salvia glutinosa and Salvia numerosa subsp. numerosa In SPME vials, 500 mg of fine grounded plant material and 5 microliter of undecanone was added. After adding NaCl solution, samples were covered and proceeded for analysis. A total of 114 compounds were found in Salvia genus. Some of the commonly observed compounds were; Hex-(2E)-enal, Thujene <alpha->, Pinene <alpha->, Sabinene, Pinene <beta->, Purolan, Cymene <para->, Limonene, Phellandrene <beta->, Phenylacetaldehyde, Linalool oxide <trans->, Linalyl anthranilate, Copaene <beta->, Bergamotene <beta->, Cadinene <gamma-> and Allohimachalol. Salvia Species are rich in bioactive compounds and will be analyzed for bioactivities.
