Osmaniye Yöresinde Doğal Olarak Yetişen Defne (Laurus nobilis L.), Murt (Myrtus communis L.) Bitkilerinin Uçucu Yağ Oran ve Bileşenlerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Medicinal and aromatic plants are divided into two groups, collected from nature and grown.Medicinal and aromatic plants collected from nature grow spontaneously in natural places such as forests. Two of these plants found in the Mediterranean region are Laurus nobilis L. and Myrtus communis L. This study was conducted to determine the ratios and components of essential oils obtained from laurel trees and myrtle plants. The leaves obtained from these plants, which grow intensively in the flora of Osmaniye Province of Turkey, were obtained by using the water vapor distillation method in large distillation boilers (retort) in industrial applications and their essential oils were obtained. The essential oil ratios obtained by retort methods were observed dec 0.9-1.4% in laurel plant and 0.4-0.8% in myrtle plant. The components of essential oil were examined, the Laurel main components α-pinene (5.75%), sabine (the to 8.9%), eucalyptol (44.42%) and α-acetate terpinyl (17.37%) is designated as the main components of the plant and Mersin, α-pinene (50.79%), limonene (4.08%), eucalyptol (31.66%), α-terpineol (5.57%), α-terpinyl acetate (2.37%) has been identified as.
