Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

This research represents the first attempt to investigate content and chemical composition of the essential oil from leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis cultivated in Sudan in order to establish its chromatographic fingerprint. The essential oil (3.0%) was obtained by hydrodistillation method. GC-MS investigation of the produced oil showed detection of twenty seven compounds. The main constituents identified were bornyl acetate (20.27%), caryophllene (13.61%), eucalyptol (12.84%) camphor (6.41%), camphene (4.19%), borneol (3.61%), and α-caryophyllene (2.53%). R. officinalis, cultivated in Sudan revealed a new chemotype, which is R. officinalis ct. bornyl acetate.
