Determination to leaf and flower volatile components of natural sage taxa (Salvia sp.) of Mount Murat (Kütahya-Gediz)

In this thesis study, it was aimed to determine volatile components in leaves and flowers in different collecting periods of sage (Salvia L.) taxa that have natural distribution in Mount Murat in Gediz district in Kütahya province. As result of field studies which were performed between 2016-2017, it was identified to distribution of Salvia verbenaca, S. verticillata, S. candidissima subsp. occidentalis, S. virgata, S. sclarea, S. frigida, S. bracteata taxa in this district. Sage taxa were detected in open areas of middle closure forests, on steep slopes, in stony areas and edges of fields, rivers and roads. Furthermore, it was seen that slopes vary from 5-75 % and altitude also varies from between 300 and 1300 m of areas. The aim of determining to volatile components, leaves and flowers were dried at room temperature and volatile components were detected by GC-MS equipment. In the end of analyses, it was identified total of 150 volatile components from 7 different sage species. Volatile components were detected for S. sclarea as 34; S. candidissima subsp. occidentalis as 27; S. verticillata as 30; S. virgata as 39; S. frigida as 33; S. verbenaca as 31, and also S. bracteata as 38. Main components were Linalyl acetate (84,83%), Linalool (2,47%) and β-Myrcene (2,27%) for S. sclarea, γ terpinene (28,76%), Sabinene (20,26%) and Linalool (11,26%) for S. candidissima subsp. occidentalis, Benzofuran-2-one (40,98%), trans-Caryophyllene (14,42%), Geyrene (8,43%) and Methalactone (%) for S. verticillata, α-Pinene (37,17%), 2-β-Pinene (21,4%) and Limonene (10,85%) for S. virgata, Linalyl acetate (44,09%), β-Myrcene (9,26%) and β pinene (7,87%) for S. frigida, Linalyl acetate (81,70%), Linalool (8,66%) and β-Myrcene (2,73%) for S. verbenaca, Phenethyl alcohol (39,93%), α-Copaene (8,75%) and Sabinene (7,03%) for S. bracteata.
