Chemical Characterization on the Aromatic Composition of Cedrus Atlantica from Morocco in Two Geographical Areas will Break
Journal Title: Archives of Organic and Inorganic Chemical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Essential oils have various properties in different fields of application. This work entitled on the chemical characterization of Cedrus Atlantica of Morocco in two geographical zones will break: Cedrus Atlantica of Ajdir (khenifra region) (CAA) and Cedrus Atlantica of Wiwane (Azrou region) (CAW) which belongs to the family Pinaceae. The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts (stems, leaves and flowers) of Atlantica Cedrus and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The analyzes show that Cedrus Atlantica Ajdir (CAA) has p-Himachalene as the major constituent of this essential oil with a content of approximately (31,24)%, followed by a-Himachalene (15,63%) and y-Himachalene (14.46%), with a percentage of 61.33%. For Wiwane Cedrus Atlantica (CAW) p-Himachalene (28.85%), a-Himachalene (17.93%) and y -Himachalene (16.52%) are the major constituent, with a percentage of 63.3% .The recorded yields are: 1.94%) for Cedrus Atlantica of Ajdir (CAA) and (2.09%) for Cedrus Atlantica of Wiwane (CAW). For centuries, humans have used plants in several fields, such as perfumery, pharmacology and food, thanks to their properties discovered by chance [1]. The genus Cedrus is an ancient genus known from the Tertiary with a broad distribution, it includes four species: Atlas cedar, Lebanon cedar, Himalayan cedar and Cyprus cedar [2]. The area occupied by natural cedar is divided into three large areas, Lebanon (160000 ha), Himalaya (500000 ha) and Morocco and Algeria [3]. Morocco has a natural variety of very diverse aromatic plants [4]. These aromatic plants are at the origin of products with very high added value which can contribute to the economic development of the country, and which could constitute an important capital for its sustainable development [5]. These many aromatic species that can provide essential oils, are used in various fields for their therapeutic and organoleptic properties, including fragrant (perfumery, cosmetic) [2,6].Samples of the aerial part (stems, leaves and flowers) Cedar of Ajdir (Khenifra-Morocco) and Cedar of Wiwane (Azrou-Morocco) were harvested in September (2017) both species were verified by a botanists at EST-Khenifra, Morocco (Professors E. Abba and S. Cherroud).
