Abstract

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Heracleum antasiaticum MANDEN from Türkiye was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Forty-five compounds were characterized, representing 92.7 % of the total components detected, and elemicin (27.8%), apiole (26.2%), n-octanol (4.9%), α-zingiberene (3.9%), octyl acetate (3.8%), and (E)-γ-bisabolene (3.1%) were identified as predominant components. In addition, in this study, the essential oil was tested for its antimicrobial activity against 23 different food-borne microorganisms including 20 bacteria, 1 fungi and 2 yeast species. The essential oil of Heracleum antasiaticum exhibited considerable inhibitory effects against all bacteria, fungi and yeast species tested.

Özet

Türkiye'de yetişen Heracleum antasiaticum MANDEN türünün toprak üstü kısımlarından hidrodistilasyon yöntemiyle elde edilen uçucu yağ, GC ve GC-MS analizleri ile incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda toplam bileşenlerin %92,7’sini temsil eden kırk beş bileşik karakterize edilmiştir. Bu bileşikler arasında elemisin (%27,8), apiol (%26,2), n-oktanol (%4,9), α-zingiberen (%3,9), oktil asetat (%3,8) ve (E)-γ-bisabolen (%3,1) en baskın bileşenler olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu çalışmada, elde edilen uçucu yağın 20 bakteri, 1 mantar ve 2 maya türü olmak üzere toplam 23 farklı gıda kaynaklı mikroorganizmaya karşı antimikrobiyal aktivitesi test edilmiştir. Heracleum antasiaticum uçucu yağı, test edilen tüm bakteri, mantar ve maya türleri üzerinde önemli düzeyde inhibe edici etki göstermiştir.
