植物精油的研究进展——中国精油学的现状与思考

“精油学”一词出现于20世纪初,意思是通过燃烧、压榨、油泡、蒸馏、先进萃取等方法使植物释放特有气味成分,采集油状液体,研究其功效及安全性并加以应用的学科。考古发现,精油应用最早记载见于5万多年前的伊拉克;公元前的欧洲、埃及、希腊、印度、中国等也有精油应用的记载。6000余年前,中国炎帝神农尝百草,探索中药治病效果。3600年前,甲骨文就出现了“紫(柴)”“燎”“香”“鬯”(祭祀用的香酒)等文字。3000年前,周朝已有佩戴香囊、沐浴兰汤的习俗。470年前,李时珍著的《本草纲目》就辟有“芳香篇”专辑,包含香木类35种、芳草类56种。精油不仅有活血行气、镇静安神、改善认知、缓解恶心呕吐等功能,还有抗菌、抗炎、抗肿瘤、镇静等功效,但是《中国药典》(2020年版)只收录了14种精油及其制备方法、检验标准、适应症和禁忌症,说明了中国精油学发展迟缓。21世纪的今天,精油学须结合医学、药学、中药学、农业、林业、生物、化学等科学技术才能不断创新,不断发展。

Studies on preparations and analysis of essential oil from Chinese fir

Three steam distillation devices (D-1, D-2 and D-4) or one simultaneous distillation (D-3, water-diethyl ether) as well as the process of CO2-SFE (Supercritical fluid extraction) were adopted in extraction of essential oils from Chinese-fir (Cunninghamia lancedata (Lamb) Hook.) and the chemical components of the extracted essential oil were analyzed by Gas chromatograph-MS analyses. The results showed that the essential oil could be almost extracted out within 2 hours and the device-3 had the highest extraction efficiency. The major chemical component of the oil was cedrol. The yield of the extracted essential oils from Chinese fir decreased gradually with the increase of the distillation time. The best condition for extraction by means of CO2-SFE is 100 kg·cm?2 in pressure and 40°C in temperature for.

Assessing the kinetic model of hydro-distillation and chemical composition ofAquilaria malaccensis leaves essential oil

This study aimed to model the kinetic of hydro-distillation of Aquilaria malaccensis leaves oil in order to understand and optimize the extraction process. In addition, this study, for the first time, aimed to identify the chemical compositions of the A. rnalaccensis leave-oil. By assessing both first-order kinetic model and the model of simultaneous washing and diffusion, the result indicated that the model of simultaneous washing and diffusion better describes the hydro-distillation mechanism of the essential oil from A. rnalaccensis leaves. The optimum time, solid to liquid ratio, and the heating power for extracting the highest amount of essential oil were found to be around 3 h, 1：10 （g. ml-1）, and 300 W respectively. Yellow essential oil with a strong smell and a yield of 0.05 v/w was extracted by hydro-distillation Clevenger apparatus. Chemical compounds of the essential oil were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy （GC/MS）, which resulted in identification of 42 compounds that constitute 93% of essential oil. Among the identified components, Pentadecanal （32.082%）, 9-Octadecenal, （Z） （15.894%）, and Tetradecanal （6.927%） were the major compounds. Considering the fact that all the identified major components possess pesticidal properties, A. malaccensis leaves can be regarded as a promising natural source for producing pesticides.

Investigation of Natural Essential Oil Antioxidant Activity on Peroxidase Enzyme in Selected Vegetables

The aim of this work was to study the effect of essential oils as natural antioxidant for inhibition of peroxidase enzyme activity. Peroxidase enzyme is one of the most important enzymes in plant tissue which can bind to hydrogen peroxide and produce an activated complex that can react with a wide range of donor molecules. Therefore inactivation of the enzyme may increase the shelf life of raw and un-blanched frozen vegetables. In order to inactivate of the enzyme several physical and chemical treatments among them heating （blanching）, lowering pH or aw or adding chemical additives can be used, however each of the above mentioned methods has a kind of shortcoming. Our results indicated that crude extract of red cabbage and cabbage has the highest and potato and lettuce has the lowest peroxidase activity respectively （P〈0.05）. Although peroxidase resistance to essential oils varied among different vegetables but clove in all concentration had the best effects in decrease ofperoxidase activity （P〈0.05） whereas cumin and fennel were partially able to reduce the enzyme activity. （P〈0.05）.

Rose Essential Oil Extraction from Fresh Petals Using Synergetic Microwave ＆ Ultrasound Energy： Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity Assessment

The aim of the present work was to investigate the synergetic effect of microwave and ultrasound treatment on the production, chemical composition and antioxidant activity of rose essential oil. The rose essential oil was extracted from fresh Rosa x damciscena Mill. petals by four methods, hydrodistillation, steam distillation, organic solvent extraction and ultrasounds followed by microwave hydrodistillation. The chemical composition of the extracts was analysed by GC-MS, and the antioxidant capacity by DPPH. It was found that both chemical composition and the antioxidant activity of the extracts depend on the extraction method. Overall it was found that microwaves coupled with ultrasonic treatment can be used effectively for the intensification of the extraction of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes--fragrance bearing molecules--and equally, for increased antioxidant activity while using about 4 time shorter extraction time. The scale-up of the method was also evaluated. The results obtained in this research support the possible use of the US/MW method for the extraction of rose essential oil for the pharmaceutical and fragrance industry.

A simulation of diesel hydrotreating process with real component method

Computer simulation is a good guide and reference for development and research on petroleum refining processes. Traditionally, pseudo-components are used in the simulation, in which their physical properties are estimated by empirical relations and cannot be associated with actual chemical reactions, as no molecular structure is available for pseudo-components. This limitation can be overcome if real components are used. In this paper, a real component based method is proposed for the simulation of a diesel hydrotreating process by using the software of Unisim Design. This process includes reaction units and distillation units. The chemical reaction network is established by analyzing the feedstock. The feedstock is characterized by real components, which are obtained based on true boiling point curve. Simulation results are consistent with actual data.

Chemical Variation in Essential Oils of Salvia Officmalis L, Ecotypes Cultivated in Albania

Salvia officinalis L. was cultivated in different geographic locations of Albania. Sage plants originated from imported seeds and wild Albanian plants. Around 30 chemical compounds were identified in the essential oils of all cultivated sage plants; the latter were found to be very rich in camphen, fl-thujone, a-pinene, eucaliptol, rich to moderate in β-pinene and camphor, and less rich in a-thujone and limonene. Sharp differences in chemical composition patterns and content of individual chemical compounds were noticed between and within cultivation sites. Cultivated sage was poorer in α-thujone versus wild plants. Cultivated sage, of Albanian wild plants origin, was the richest in α-thujone （18.45%） versus imported seeds sage. β-thujone over-dominated α-thujone in all cultivated sage plants. Volatile characters of cultivated sage were indicative of the species but not of the geographic origin of plant material. Variation in essential oils composition and chemical compounds＇ content （biosynthetic pathways） in cultivated sage is related more to the genetic background than the environmental factors. If cultivating sage in Albania, then wild local ecotypes would be best to use as α-thujone is maintained at satisfactory levels, local natural base is preserved, unnecessary hybridization with imported seeds sage is prevented, and are more resistant and cost effective.

Chemical and Biological Assessments of the Essential Oils of Chrysophyllum albidum G, Don

The chemical compositions of the essential oils obtained from six tree parts of Chrysophyllum albidum （Sapotaceae） were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography （GC） and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）. A total of 65, 33, 45, 21, 25 and 18 compounds, representing 79.49%, 100%, 90.81%, 98.43%, 96.62% and 98.37% of the total oil, were identified in the fruit bark, root bark, stem bark, seed bark, leaf and seed, respectively. The dominant compounds in the essential oils in six tree parts were m-xylene （66.7%; seed）, p-xylene （21.4%; seed bark）, a-farnesene （38.1%; leaf）, hexadecanoic acid （14.7%; stem bark）, m-xylene （53.1%; root bark） and hexadecanoic acid （12.7%; fruit bark）.

The oils displayed moderate antibacterial potentials to some tested organisms and low radical scavenging activity to DPPH. Rhyzopertha dominica was susceptible to C. albidum stem bark essential oil only.

Phytochemical Screening of Essential Oil of Citrus sinensis by Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector

Citrus sinensis commonly called sweet orange belongs to the family Rutaceae. Nutritionally, it is highly recommended due to its high content of micronutrients. However, the rejection of a large amount of epicarp in nature contributes to the emission of greenhouse gas and the development of leachate which contaminate surface water and groundwater. The aim of this work was to identify the essential oil components from Citrus sinensis epicarp, and then look after the biological activity of these components in order to underline the worth to reuse the Citrus sinensis epicarp as a gainful mean. The essential oil of 4,000 g of Citrus sinensis epicarp was done through the water steam distillation and 0.0287 g of essential oil was obtained; so a yield of 0.0007%. The essential oil was then submitted to gas chromatography-flame ionization detector （GC-F1D）. The result revealed that the essential oil was teemed with 28 volatile compounds, including terpene compounds （50%）, aldehydes （32%） and alcohols （18%） whose anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, larvicidal and antioxidant activities were underlined.

Study on Residual Oil HDS Process with Mechanism Model and ANN Model

Based on the Residual Oil Hydrodesulfurization Treatment Unit (S-RHT), the n-order reaction kinetic model for residual oil HDS reactions and artificial neural network (ANN) model were developed to determine the sulfur content of hydrogenated residual oil. The established ANN model covered 4 input variables, 1 output variable and 1 hidden layer with 15 neurons. The comparison between the results of two models was listed. The results showed that the predicted mean relative errors of the two models with three different sample data were less than 5% and both the two models had good predictive precision and extrapolative feature for the HDS process. The mean relative error of 5 sets of testing data of the ANN model was 1.62%—3.23%, all of which were smaller than that of the common mechanism model (3.47%— 4.13%). It showed that the ANN model was better than the mechanism model both in terms of fitting results and fitting difficulty. The models could be easily applied in practice and could also provide a reference for the further research of residual oil HDS process.
