o:6960 Essential oil profile of Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. in relation to vegetation stage Profil etarskog ulja Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. u odnosu na fazu vegetacije en sr The genus Satureja L. (Lamiaceae) has around 30 species distributed on sunny and rocky cliffs. Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. is endemic to the Balkan (southwest Romania, eastern Serbia, and northwest Bulgaria). S. kitaibelii also known in Serbia as Rtanj tea is used as a culinary herb, as well as in traditional medicine. It is used as a stomachic, carminative, expectorant, and as an aphrodisiac (1). The essential oil composition of S. kitaibelii is very variable. According to some authors S. kitaibelii essential oil showed three potential chemotypes: geraniol, limonene and p-cymene (2). A search of the available literature revealed no data on essential oil profile of S. kitaibelii in relation to vegetation stage. Given the importance of S. kitaibelii as a culinary herb and medicinal remedy, the aim of the present study was to examine the essential oil from natural populations S. kitaibelii at the Kravlje village, southeast Serbia during different vegetation stage. Hydrodistilled essential oils (EO) of aerial parts of S. kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. were analyzed by Gas Chromatography with Mass Selective Detector, Flame Ionization Detector (GC–MS/FID). Most abundant components among the EO volatiles are: geraniol (2.9-42.1%), limonene (8.7-15.3%) and p-cimene (9.1-11.9%). The obtained results indicate the fact that in geraniol chemotype, p-cymene has been one of three dominant components, which is not in accordance with the conclusions of some authors (2). Based on our experience, it can be stated that the chemotypes of essential oils should be analyzed in great detail and systematically, avoiding final conclusions. Rod Satureja L. (Lamiaceae) ima oko 30 vrsta rasprostranjenih na sunčanim i kamenitim liticama. Saturejakitaibelii Vierzb. ek Heuff. je endemična na Balkanu (jugozapadna Rumunija, istočna Srbija i severozapadna Bugarska). S.kitaibelii u Srbiji je poznata i kao rtanjski čaj, koristi se kao kulinarska biljka, takođe u tradicionalnoj medicini. Koristi se kao karminativ, ekspektorans i kao afrodizijak. Sastav etarskog ulja S.kitaibelii je veoma promenljiv. Prema nekim autorima etarsko ulje S.kitaibelii poseduje tri potencijalna hemotipa: geraniol, limonen i p-cimen (2). Pretragom dostupne literature nisu pronađeni podaci o profilu eterskog ulja S.kitaibelii u odnosu na fazu vegetacije. Imajući u vidu značaj S.kitaibelii kao biljke korišćene u kulinarstvu i pomoćnog lekovitog sredstva, cilj ove studije bio je ispitivanje etarskog ulja iz prirodne populacije S.kitaibelii u selu Kravlje, jugoistočna Srbija tokom različitih faza vegetacije. Hidrodestilovana etarska ulja (EO) nadzemnih delova Saturejakitaibelii Vierzb. ek Heuff. analizirani su gasnom hromatografijom sa masenim selektivnim detektorom, spregnutim sa plamen jonizacionim detektorom (GC-MS/FID). Najzastupljenije komponente EO su: geraniol (2,9-42,1%), limonen (8,7-15,3%) i p-cimen (9,1-11,9%). Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na činjenicu da je u geraniol hemotipu etarskog ulja p-cimen bio jedna od tri dominantne komponente, što nije u skladu sa zaključcima nekih autora (2). Na osnovu našeg iskustva, može se konstatovati da hemotipove etarskih ulja treba detaljno i sistematski analizirati, izbegavajući konačne zaključke. 1552102 https://aseestant.ceon.rs/index.php/arhfarm/article/view/34037 2025-01-30T08:38:37.350Z 44 yes 46 Dragoljub Miladinović 46 Marija Dimitrijević 46 Marija Marković 0000-0002-6070-6844 46 Gordana Stojanović 46 Snežana Jovanović application/pdf 327738 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6960 no yes 1 70 92000004 2021 Arhiv za farmaciju S50 S51 Savez farmaceutskih udruženja Srbije, Farmaceutski fakultet Univerziteta u Beogradu 2021
