Abstract

AbstractThis study was aimed to determine the effect of different boron doses (boron free, pure boron with 8 liters per decare and in 1/8 ratio diluted boron) on the rate and quality of volatile oil in musk grown in Kütahya-Gediz conditions. Essential oil from Musk Sage was obtained by hydrodistillation method (GC-MS/FID). In the analysis carried out in 2017, the rate of essential oil was found to be 0.11% in the plant grown without boron, while it was 0.44% in the plant grown with pure boron. However, this rate was found as 0.23% in the 1/8 boron ratio application. The main components of volatile oil were found as follows: for the boron-free application—spathulenol 23.75%, caryophyllene oxide 19.41%, linalool 10.10%, and sclareoloxide 9.92%; for the pure dose application—spathulenol 26.67%, sclareoloxide 18.81%, and caryophyllene oxide 16.13%; for in 1/8 ratio diluted boron dose application—spathulenol 24.82%, sclareoloxide 16.68%, and caryophyllene oxide 14.86%. It has been observed that pure boron dose has a positive effect on the essential oil ratio and components of Musk Sage.

Highlights

  • The plants of the Lamiaceae family are herbaceous or bushy plants, which are rich in volatile oil, distributed in regions dominated by the Mediterranean climate

  • Volatile oil ratio and the compositions of essential oil obtained in this study were presented

  • The volatile oil ratios in the Musk Sage (Salvia sclarea L.), which was grown under Kütahya-Gediz conditions and exposed to different boron doses, were measured as 0.11–0.44–0.23%, respectively

Summary

Introduction

The plants of the Lamiaceae family are herbaceous or bushy plants, which are rich in volatile oil, distributed in regions dominated by the Mediterranean climate. Salvia species are mainly medicinal and aromatic plants grown in the hot, humid regions of the world [29,7]. Salvia sclarea L. is an important medicinal and aromatic plant that has been cultivated worldwide, and the essential oil of Salvia sclarea L. is a volatile oil known as “Clary Sage” in the world market [9]. The Lamiaceae family is rich in medicinal and aromatic plant species. Most of these species produce and store essential oils of specialized epidermal and sebaceous glands, which are responsible for their particular flavors. Salvia sclarea L. has two types of glands: peltate and capitate glands, which produce essential oil and have different morphological structures. The capitate sebaceous glands mainly produce three essential oil compounds: monoterpene linalool and linalyl acetate and diterpene sclareol. The drugs of Salvia sclarea L. have been mentioned in the supplement of French Pharmacopoeia’s “The French Explanatory Note,” which was published in
