Abstract

Background

Essential oil components play an important role in food flavoring industries and chemical industries. Essential oil from (pine oil, scotch pine oil, Turpentine Oil), (silver fir needle oil), (balsam fir needle oil), and (siberianfirn needle oil) contains numerous active ingredients that help to develop drug preparation.

Objective

To compare the phytoconstituents present in the essential oil of (wood, cone, needle), (needle), (needle) and (needle).

Methods

This study concentrates on analyzing the natural flavor in six essential oils of (wood, cone, needle), (needle), (needle), and (needle) subjected to gas chromatography analysis with the condition of 40ºC for 2 min, 40ºC to 180ºC @ rate 15 ºC; 180ºC to 230ºC at 10ºC/min and final hold at 230ºC for 2 min. AFID detector was used.

Results

The results showed the presence of several organic flavoring compounds, especially terpenes and terpenoids. Alpha pinene are the major flavoring molecules present in all the selected oils with a higher percentage. Alpha pinene (60.25% and 50.37%) was found to be highest in turpentine and scotch pine oils respectively. Alpha terpineol (51.73%), limonene (34.33%), beta-pinene (36.12%), and bornyl acetate (35.94%) were found higher levels in and respectively. Alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, alpha terpineol, beta phellandrene, alphafenchene, borneol, limonene, camphene, bornyl acetate, myrcene, and delta 3 carene are the most common phytocompounds found in the essential oils.

Conclusion

Alpha pinene, beta pinene, and limonene were present in all four plants and and also utilized in aromatherapy and the perfume industry.
