Abstract
White turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria) of the family Zingiberaceae is a medicinal plant used in Ayurveda to treat various ailments. Despite having immense therapeutic properties, identification of elite accessions with high oil yield and quality constituents remains an issue. So, in this study forty-two accessions of C. zedoaria have been collected from Eastern India (Odisha and West Bengal) and their essential oil (EO) yield was studied. Their yield varied from 0.2% - 0.82% (v/w on fresh weight basis). Seventy-seven constituents were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis with area percentage varying from 90.97-99.92%. The predominant constituents found in majority of accessions were Curzerenone followed by 1,8-cineole, curzerene, germacrene-B, germacrone, curdione, γ-eudesmol acetate in C. zedoaria essential oil. In this study, Cz42 was identified as the elite accession with high oil yield (0.82 ± 0.06%) and quality constituents that could be used commercially for cultivation and development of potential drug molecules.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
