Essential Oil Composition and Stable Isotope Profile of <i>Osmorhiza occidentalis</i> Torr. (Apiaceae) from Utah
<i>Osmorhiza occidentalis</i> Torr. is an essential-oil-bearing plant in the Apiaceae family. Volatile oil was produced through steam distillation (<i>n</i> = 3) of the above ground plant parts and was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC/FID, GC/MS), and gas chromatography/iso...

| description | <i>Osmorhiza occidentalis</i> Torr. is an essential-oil-bearing plant in the Apiaceae family. Volatile oil was produced through steam distillation (<i>n</i> = 3) of the above ground plant parts and was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC/FID, GC/MS), and gas chromatography/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/IRMS) to establish the essential oil composition and stable isotope profile. The resulting essential oils were found to be comprised of 33 volatile compounds. Prominent volatile compounds include methyl chavicol (avg. 61.6%), (<i>Z</i>)-β-ocimene (avg. 14.7%), sabinene (avg. 10.5%), and γ-terpinene (avg. 2.8%). Stable isotope values were determined for prominent volatile compounds, including methyl chavicol, (<i>Z</i>)-β-ocimene, sabinene, and γ-terpinene. Values for <i>δ</i><sup>2</sup>H range from −393.479 (avg. sabinene) to −171.516 (avg. methyl chavicol). Those for <i>δ</i><sup>13</sup>C range from −35.957 (avg. methyl chavicol) to −30.820 (avg. (<i>Z</i>)-β-ocimene). The essential oil yield was 0.12% (<i>w/w</i>). The current study establishes for the first time, to the best knowledge of the authors, the essential oil yield, essential oil composition, and stable isotope profile of prominent volatile compounds extracted from the above-ground portions of <i>O. occidentalis</i>. These results provide insight into the volatile chemical composition produced by the plant and provide fundamental data for substantiation of ethnobotanical applications. |
