Analysis of Rosmarinus officinalis var.wood Essential Oil Composition and the Effects of Drought on Its Essential Oil Content and Composition
Wood Rosemary was used as a test material for drought stress treatment,and the essential oil were extracted by water vapor distillation and analyzed by GC-MS.The results showed that there were 55 essential oil compositions,among which the total content of α-pinene,camphene,eucalyptol,and β-pinene contains more than 50%.The essential oil content of Wood Rosemary increased with prolonged drought stress time.The highest essential oil content which presented in the 20%field water drought stress for 12 days reached 1.45±0.06 mL/100g.20%field water drought stress for 24 days,a-pinene reached 34.44%±0.47%,camphene 8.52%±0.21%,eucalyptol 20.00%±0.62%,and β-pinene 6.03%±0.09%.This study provides a reference for the production of rosemary essential oil.
