Chemotaxonomic characterisation of essential oil plants by vibrational spectroscopy measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
The essential oils isolated from basil (Ocimum sp.), chamomile (Chamomilla recutita L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and oregano (Origanum sp.) were analysed rapidly and non-destructively applying different vibrational spectroscopic methods (ATR-IR, NIR and Raman spectroscopy). Whereas NIR spectroscopic data can be interpreted only by application of chemometric algorithms, IR and Raman spectra obtained from the essential oils present characteristic key bands which can be used as marker bands to discriminate different plant chemotypes. The methods described will be very useful in the flavour and fragrance industry to control very easily the purifying, blending, and redistilling processes of essential oils. # 2003 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: The essential oil of plant material is the fraction isolated by means of several methods such as liquid carbon dioxide, microwaves and low or high pressure distillation employing boiling water or hot steam and is chemically defined as terpenoids namely monoterpene and the oxygenated form. Since these compounds might be employed as flavour contributors due to their chemical nature, it ...
