چکیده مقاله :
Background & Aim: Artemisia (local name “Dermaneh”), is one of the most economically important and widespread of Asteraceae family and are used for treatment in infectious diseases such as malaria, hepatitis and other diseases. This study was conducted to determine phytochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities of essential oils from different parts of Artemisia aucheri Boiss. and Artemisia haussknechtii Boiss. collected from the Zagros mountains, Southwestern Iran. Experimental: The essential oils of different parts of these plants were extracted by hydro-distillation and analyzed using GC/MS. The antioxidant activity was determined according to α,α‐diphenyl‐β‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Results: In total, 60 volatile components were identified, representing 90% of total oils. Results indicated significant differences among the different parts of plants for the main constituents in the essential oils. The major compounds in the essential oil from the stem and leaves of A. aucheri were Artemisia ketone, Germacrene-D, Alpha-terpinene, Santolinatrien and major compounds in the essential oil from the flowers A. aucheri were Artemisia ketone and Nerolidol. While, Beta-eudesmol, Germacrene-D, Caryophyllene, Alpha-eudesmol, 1,8-cineole, Caryophyllene oxide and Borneol were the main components identified in the stem and leaves of A. haussknechtii and 1,8-cineole, Borneol, Alpha-eudesmol and Bornyl acetate were major compounds in the essential oil the flowers of A. haussknechtii. Recommended applications/industries: It was interesting to note that the essential oil of arial parts of A. aucheri, A. haussknechtii exhibited potent antioxidant activity, and thus hold a good potential for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
