Article Chemical Composition of Essential Oil of Mentha Longifolia L. Subsp Longifolia Growing Wild(Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2017) Okut, Nese; Yagmur, Mehmet; Selcuk, Nilufer; Yildirim, BunyaminThe essential oil of Mentha longifolia L., is very important to some culinary usage and antimicrobial activity. The essential oil of Mentha longifolia subsp. longifolia growing in the Bahesaray area (Van Province, Turkey) was studied. This study designed for determine of essential oil constituent Mentha longifolia subsp. longifolia that collected from wild area. Mint leaves sample essential oils obtained by hydro distillation and essential oil components were determined using GC-MS. The main component of wild grown Mentha longifolia subsp. longifolia was Menthone (19.31%). Second one and others were Pulegone (12.42%), Piperitone (11.05%), Dihydrocarvon (8.32%), Limonene (6.1%), 3-Terpinolenone (5.66%), 1,8-Cineole (4.37%), Germacrene D (3.38%) and Caryopyllene (3.19%), respectively.Article Chemical Diversity of Essential Oil From Leaves of Ziziphora Clinopodioides Growing in Van, Turkey(Parlar Scientific Publications (p S P), 2018) Okut, Nese; Selcuk, Nilufer; Yagmur, Mehmet; Yildirim, BunyaminBlue Mint Bush (Ziziphora clinopodioides) belongs to the family Lamiaceae and grows in Iran, Iraq, Central and Eastern part of Turkey. The leaves of Ziziphora clinopodioides L. samples were collected on the beginning of July (2010) from Kocko-pru area (Van Province, Turkey) at an altitude of 1924 m and described accordingly. Hydrodistillation was used to isolate the essential oil of the plant and then 33 constituents were identified by using GC-MS. The majority presented compounds of the essential oil were Pulegone (29.31%), Menthone (21.79%), 1,8-Cineole (15.31%), beta-Pinene (8.74%), Limonene (3.91%), alpha-Pinene (3.17%), 3-Terpinolenone (3.09%), beta-Phellandrene (2.88%), respectively. Menthofurane, Isopulegone and Germacrene D are represented by low concentrations. A cluster analysis was carried on the essential oil composition of Z. clinopodioides to identify homogenous groups.
