In order to make use of these cherished genetic resources, a continuous study has been carried out on the essential oils from the peels. Three varieties were collected from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, Their nomenclature were ascertained by the examination of the morphological characters of fruits, branches and leaves. They are identified as Citrus karna Raf. (Kharna khatta), C. pseudolimon Tanaka (Galgal), and C. paradisi var. Foster , respectively. The essential oils (EOs) extracted from the fresh peels by hydro-distillation were analyzed. In total, 40 components are identified and quantified, accounting for 98.4-99.7%. Limonene (92.1-97.7%) is the most abundant; nootkatone (tr-0.5%) is a chemical marker (CM) for Galgal and Foster; β -bisabolene (0-1.5%) and α -bergamotene (0-1.2%) are two CMs for Galgal; decanal (0.1-0.5%), valencene (0-0.3%) and selin-6-en-4 α -ol (0-0.2%) are two CMs of Foster. The other important CMs in peels EOs of Citrus such as γ -terpinene were undetected. α -Bergamotene and β -bisabolene are two important CMs for discriminating lemons, limes and citrons from the other Citrus species. Nootkatone most probably only originates from Citrus grandis . The results of CMs in these EOs also prove the results of nomenclature.","PeriodicalId":19962,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Botany","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135995332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated ontogenetic variability in phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of Salsola soda L., (Chenopodiaceae) a halophyte, distributed in coastal regions of Lake Burdur which is a saline lake in the Lakes District in southwest Turkey. In vitro radical scavenging activity of collected plants between June and October was detected using the 1,1-diphenyl,2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), and superoxide (SO) radical scavenging activity (RSA) and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC). Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were detected by specific qualitative tests. Caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, naringin, quercetin, and, rutin were detected by HPLC-DAD. TFC, DPPH and SO RSA and, CUPRAC were maximum in the last developmental stage, fruiting, (October), ( p <0.05). TPC was higher in the vegetative stage than that in the generative stage. Caffeic acid, naringin, rutin and ferulic acid were higher than the other phenolic components in S. soda extracts. S. soda is a potential plant that has some bioactivities thanks to its valuable phytochemicals like flavonoids.","PeriodicalId":19962,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Botany","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135995554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
