Essential oil compounds of Three Nepeta L. Taxa From Turkey and Their Chemotaxonomy
Abstract
The essential oil aerial parts of Nepeta baytopii Hedge and Lamond., Nepeta cataria L. and Nepeta fissa C.A. Mey. were investigated by
GC and GC-MS. The yield of oils are ca. 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50 mL/100 g, respectively. Forty six, fourty seven and forty nine compounds
were identified representing 92.4, 91.2 and 92.5 % of the oil, respectively. 1,8-Cineole (23.2 %) and nepetalactone (12.8 %) in N.
baytopii, nepetalactone (27.5 %) - 1,8-cineole (10.8 %) and germacrene D (9.2 %) in N. cataria, 1,8-cineole (24.3 %) and nepetalactone
(17.6 %) were identified as major components in N. fissa. The chemical distribution of the essential oil compounds in the genus pattern
were discussed in means of chemotaxonomy.
