Essential oil composition of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra. aerial parts.
Ital J Biochem. 2007 Mar; 56(1):40-6.IJ

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%).
