Study of the chemical composition of the freon extract of the Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.)

Abstract

Rosa damascena Mill. a rather popular variety of roses has anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and antiseptic effects. The aim of this study was to establish the component composition of the freon extract of Damask rose grown in vitro and to substantiate the advantages of this method and the prospects for the use of phytosubstances in medical practice. Materials and methods. The object of the study was the freon extract of Damask rose, grown by the method of clonal micropropagation in vitro. The qualitative and quantitative determination of the components of the freon extract was determined using the chromato-mass spectrometric method. Results. According to the results of the chromato-mass-spectrometric study, 60 compounds were identified, 6 of which were in the isomeric state. The following components prevailed by percentage: рhenylethyl alcohol – 64.070 %, citronellol – 6.090 %, nonadecane – 4.636 %, heneicosane – 2.590 %, geraniol – 1.749 %. Conclusions. The chemical composition of the freon extract of Rosa damascena Mill., grown in vitro, was investigated for the first time using the chromato-mass-spectrometric method. The main components of rose petals: рhenylethyl alcohol – 64.070 %, citronellol – 6.090 %, nonadecane – 4.636 %, heneicosane – 2.590 %, geraniol – 1.749 %.
