Abstract

The Myrtaceae family has great occurrence in Brazil, mainly in the Atlantic Forest of the South and Southeast
regions and presents potential for essential oil production. This work aimed to evaluate the essential oil yield and
composition of the species Myrciaria delicatula, Campomanesia xantocarpha, Campomanesia aurea, Calyptranthes
clusiifolia, Myrcia splendens, Eugenia osoriana, Myrciaria tenella, Myrceugenia reitzii, Calyptranthes concinna e
Myrcia arborensis from a segment of the Atlantic Forest of Parana State. The sample collections for essential oil
extraction, photographic records and herbarium specimens preparation for botanical species identification were
made at the Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (PRNP) Butuguara in Palmeira (PR), with “Campos Gerais”
formations. The identification and the official deposit of the species were made ​​​​at the HFIE Herbarium. The essential
oil extraction was carried out by hydrodistillation of fresh and dried leaves using a Clevenger type apparatus and
the chemical composition was analyzed by gas phase chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
Myrceugenia reitzii showed eesential oil yield superior to other species and the essential oil yield of all species
increased after drying. The chemical composition in the samples showed mono and sesquiterpenes , being the
sesquiterpenes in higher percentages. The drying conditions affected the essential oil composition of the for the
majority of the evaluated species.

1 Introduction

The study of the diversity and complexity of chemical structures found in nature provides important tools for molecular
biology, biochemistry, medicine and ecological chemistry. Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile substances, lipophi-
lic, usually odoriferous and liquid [1], widely used to impart aroma and flavors to food products and oral hygiene, perfumery
and cleaning products. They are also sources of active principles for the pharmaceutical industry [2-5]. The essential oils in
plants are related to ecological functions of defense and attraction of pollinators among others, and undergo quantitative and
qualitative variation in response to environmental conditions [6].
In Brazil, the production of essential oils does not meet the demand, besides, the national and international perfumery market
has been showing interest in new essences [7-8]. According to Bandoni [9] it is estimated that approximately 65% ​​of the market
of essences comes from cultivated species and 1% from wild species. Yunes [5], defends the importance of intensifying the
studies of the Brazilian flora, in an interdisciplinary way, aiming at the identification of promising species for the production
of volatile oils, for use as inputs in obtaining chemical entities to be included in new medicines available to the Health system
Besides, Brazil has more than 43 thousand described plant species, with an endemism rate of 56%, and the Atlantic Forest
Biome presents the largest number of plant species among Brazilian biomes, with more than 19,000 species, of which 7,600
species are endemic [10]. On the other hand, the general fields have a very particular structure, function and dynamics and
represent a highly interactive ecosystem [11], whose existence is conditioned by abiotic factors, anthropic action and natural
disturbances such as frost, specially the fire [12]. These changes in environmental factors influence the secondary metabolism
of plant species and consequently the production and composition of the essential oils [13-14]. Post-harvest factors, such as
drying, also affect the production of essential oil in aromatic species.
Myrtaceae is one of the most important botanical families in Brazil, especially in the Atlantic Forest, mainly with 642 spe-
cies in the South and Southeast regions [10], with great potential in the production of volatile oils of economic interest [15]. It
is also known for its important role in the phytosociology of South and Southeastern Brazil Forests [16-17], being one of the
predominant groups of the arboreal component of the Atlantic Forest [18-19]. Species of this family are used by the population
for medicinal purposes, where they are used mainly in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and infectious states [20].
Gubert evaluated the content and composition of aromatic species of the family Myrtaceae in the coastal region of Paraná
State, observing the presence of constituents of mono and sesquiterpene classes. There are several floristic and structural stu-
dies for the Atlantic Forest Biome, but the native aromatic flora, especially the Campos Gerais of the State of Paraná, is little
known. In this work, the content and chemical composition of the essential oil of samples of fresh and dried leaves of native
species of the family Myrtaceae in the Campos Gerais of the Atlantic Forest of the State of Paraná were evaluated.

2 Material and Methods

Plant material collection and identification

The plant material used for essential oil extraction consisted of leaves, which were collected in the “Private Natural Heri-
tage Reserve Butuguara” (PRNP), a segment of the Atlantic Forest of Parana state, South of Brazil. This area is located at 25 º
20.884 ‘S and 049 ° 47.258’ W, with altitudes ranging from 985-1145 meters and soil classified as Cambissol and Lithosol and
the climate as “Cfb”, with annual average temperatures around 17 ° C, frequent frosts and rainfall of 1,200 mm year. Collec-
tion and transport of plant material in the reserve were made under license of the Environmental Institute of Parana (Number
284/11). Ten species were collected based on the aroma and the botanical group with aromatic characteristics mentioned in the
literature (Table 1). Individual species location was georeferenced and photographic records for identification were made. The
dried specimens were transported to the Herbarium of the “Faculdades Integradas Espírita (HFIE)”, where it were herborized.
Duplicates were sent to “Curitiba Bothanic Museum (MBM)” and Federal University of Parana (UPCB) herbariums. Samples
of approximately 1 kg of leaves and terminal branches were randomly collected from at least 10 plants of each species. The
dried samples were obtained after maintaining the plant material at 40° C for 24 hours in an electric dryer (FANEM – Mod.
320 SE) with air circulation.

Essential oil isolation

The essential oil samples were obtained by hydrodistillation during 4 hours and 30 minutes in a Clevenger type apparatus
using 100 g of fresh or 50 g of dried plant material in 1 L of distilled water, with 3 replications. After extraction, the essential
oil samples were maintained in the freezer until the analysis.

Essential oil analysis

The identification of the essential oil chemical constituents was made by gas phase chromatography coupled to mass
spectrometry (GC/MS). The samples were diluted in dichloromethane in the proportion of 1% and 1.0 mL of the solution was
injected with a flow division of 1:20 in an Agilent 6890 chromatograph (Palo Alto, CA) coupled to mass selective detector
Agilent 5973N. The injector was maintained at 250° C. The separation of the constituents was obtained in the HP- 5MS ca-
pillary column (5% phenyl -95 % - dimethylpolysiloxane, 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm) and using helium as carrier gas (1.0 mL
min-1). The oven temperature was programmed from 60 to 240 °C at a rate of 3 °C min- 1. The mass detector was operated in
electron ionization mode (70 eV) at a rate of 3.15 min-1 scan and mass range of 40 to 450 u. The transfer line was maintained
at 260 °C, the ion source at 230° C and the analyzer (quadrupole) at 150° C.
The diluted samples were injected into an Agilent 7890A chromatograph equipped with flame ionization detector (FID),
operated at 280° C for quantification. The same column and analytical conditions described above were employed, except
for the carrier gas used, which was hydrogen at a flow rate of 1.5 mL min- 1. The percentage composition was obtained by
electronic integration of the FID signal by dividing the area of each
​​ component by the total area (area %). The constituents
identification was obtained by comparing their mass spectra with those of Wiley library (Wiley, 1994; NIST, 2013 [22-23]
and also with their linear retention indices which were calculated from injection of a homologous series of hydrocarbons (C7
- C26) and compared with literature data [24].

3 Results and Discussion

Essential oil yield

There was no significant interaction between the species and drying factors, but there was a significant difference in the
essential oil content among the species (Table 2). The Myrceugenia reitzii species had a higher average essential oil content
(1.59%), while the others had a mean essential oil content of 0.02 to 0.19%. The only species that did not show essential oil
after hydrodistillation extraction was Myrcia arborensis. The species Myrcia splendens presented essential oil only in fresh
leaves, whereas Campomanesia xantocarpha only after drying (Table 2).
Besides the difference between the species, there was also drying effect on the essential oil content of the species, being
higher after drying (Table 3). Assis [26] also observed in Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae) the increase in the essential oil content
after the drying of the leaves. In this family, the essential oil is stored in secretory cavities and leaf parenchyma cells [27-28].
With the drying there was water release and rupture in plant tissues, which may have contributed to the extraction of the essen-
 Ciência e Natura v.40, e1, 2018

tial oil. Gubert [21] evaluating essential oil contents of fresh leaves of Campomanesia xantocarpha and Myrceugenia reitzii in
the coast of Pará found levels of 0.01 and 0.04%, respectively. These contents were lower than those found in Campos Gerais
Paranaense (Table 2), but the C. xantocarpha species collected in Campos Gerais Paranaense only showed essential oil after
drying the leaves. Lima [29] evaluating Myrtaceae species in the cerrado of Botucatu (SP), found in the dry leaves of Myrcia
splendens contents of 0.24%. In this work, the species Myrcia splendens only presented essential oil in fresh leaves (0.02%),
well below that found in Botucatu (SP).

Essential oil Composition

101 constituents were identified in the essential oil samples of fresh and dry leaves, corresponding to the identification
of 81% of the constituents (Table 4). These samples presented 18.3% and 15.0% monoterpenes, 2.2% and 3.1% oxygenated
monoterpenes, 17.2% and 15.0% sesquiterpenes, 42.0% and 40.8% of oxygenated sesquiterpenes in the samples in fresh and
dry leaf samples, respectively. The species Myrciaria delicatula, Campomanesia aurea, Calyptranthes clusiifolia, Myrciaria
tenella and Calyptranthes concinna were predominantly sesquiterpenes. The species Campomanesia xantocarpha, Eugenia
osoriana and Myrcia splendens presented only sesquiterpenes in their composition and only the species Myrceugenia reitzii
presented a higher percentage of monoterpenes in the essential oil samples.
The major constituent in the samples of essential oils obtained from fresh leaves of Myrciaria delicatula were α-pinene
(24.9%) and α-cadinol (10.3%), in contrast with, khusimol (11.7%) and epi-zizanone ( 8,7%) in Campomanesia aurea, α-pinene
(13.7%) and β-pinene (10.1%) in Calyptranthes clusiifolia, α-pinene (20.5%) and (E) -β-caryophyllene (17.2%) in Myrciaria
tenella, β-pinene (30.9%) and α-pinene (27.8%) in Myrceugenia reitzii, α-cadinol (27.9%) and globulol (16.1%) (17.9%) and
α-cadinol (8.5%) in Calyptranthes concinna and globulol (16.7%) and viridiflorol (10.1%) in Myrcia splendens.
The species Calyptranthes clusiifolia and Eugenia osoriana after drying maintained their chemical composition stable in
relation to their major compounds (Table 4). Other species have undergone more significant changes, such as Myrciaria de-
licatula, which presented a decrease in the percentage of α-pinene from 24.9% to 11.2% and α-cadinol from 10.3% to 8.5%,
showing only after drying Khusimol (10.6%) and vetivenic acid (11.8%). The species Campomanesia aurea after drying did
not present khusimol and epi-zizanone, but mustacona (9.9%) and caryophyllene oxide (9.2%). The species Myrciaria tenella
decreased the percentage of α-pinene from 20.5% to 14.6% and from (E) -β-caryophyllene from 17.2% to 9.7%, showing only
after drying the safrole constituent ( 7.3%). The composition of the essential oil of M. reitzii on the coast of Paranaense pre-
sented as major components spatulenol (22.8%) and globulol (16.8%) [21], whereas in Campos Gerais Paranaense the species
Amaral et al. : Essential oil yield and composition of native species of the Myrtaceae family from “Campos Gerais”
of the Atlantic Forest in Parana State

did not present globulol, as major components but α-pinene (27.8%) and β-pinene (30.9%) (Table 4). Lima [29] found in the
cerrado of Botucatu (SP) for Myrcia splendens the major components β-pinene (12.21%) and ortho-cimene (11.09%), presen-
ting a higher percentage of monoterpenes. In the Campos Gerais, the majority of the species presented globulol (16.7%) and
viridiflorol (10.1%), with a higher percentage of sesquiterpenes, differing from the results found in the state of. It is considered
that several environmental genetic factors may have influenced the composition of the essential oils in these species [13].

4 Conclusions
4 Conclusions

Among the evaluated species, Myrceugenia reitzii presents average content of superior essential oil .The essential oil content
in samples of Myrtaceae family species is higher after drying. The chemical composition of the essential oil of the species
presents mono and sesquiterpenes, being the sesquiterpenes occur in a greater percentage in these species. On the other hands,
drying affects the chemical composition of the essential oil of the species studied.
