α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, D-limonene, cis-β-ocimene, trans-β-ocimene, γ-terpinene, α-terpinolene, (Z)-3-hexenylacetate, (E)-3-hexenylacetate, linalool, methyl salicylate, longicyclene, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, valencene, (E-E)-α-farnesene, and α-sabinene were purchased from Merck (Isle d’Abeau Chesnes, Saint Quentin Fallavier, France). Stock solutions of each standard were prepared at 10 g/L in ethanol (ethanol absolute, VWR, Fontenay sous Bois, France) and kept at 4 °C. A stock solution of a mixture of all standards was prepared at 100 mg/L in ethanol and stored at 4 °C up to 6 months. For analysis, the stock solution was diluted successively to 1 mg/L in water (LC-MS grade water, Fisher Scientific, Illkirch, France) and then to 50 µg/L. An external calibration was performed with monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and green leaf volatile standards prepared in water in the 12.5 μg/L to 1000 μg/L concentration range. The final standard mixture solution was placed into a 20-mL headspace vial, and a stir bar was exposed in the headspace of the vial for 1 h at 50 °C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
[Std][i.s.] Area std : Area i.s. where RF, response factor; [Std], concentration (g/100 g) of the standard to be calibrated; [i.s.], concentration of the internal standard (g/100 g); Area std, FID peak area of the standard; Area i.s., FID peak area of the internal standard (n-nonane). The concentration of each volatile component in essential oils real samples was then calculated:
[VOC] = (Area VOC : Area i.s.)•RF•[i.s.]•100 W oil
where Area VOC , FID peak area of each volatile constituent; W oil , weight (g) of the oil. The reference standards β-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, farnesol, and citronellal, all supplied by Merck, were chosen as representative compounds of the different chemical groups.

The pooled MR3 headspace extract was analysed on a combined gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer (GC-MS; 6890 GC and 5975 MS; Agilent Technologies), operated in the electron impact ionization mode at 70 eV. The GC was equipped with fused silica capillary columns (60 m × 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm film thickness), coated with DB-wax (J&W Scientific, Folsom, CA, USA) or HP-5MS (Agilent Technologies). Helium was used as the mobile phase at an average linear flow rate of 35 cm s−1. Two micro-litres of the sample were injected. The temperature programmes were the same as for the GC-EAD analysis. Compounds were identified according to retention times (Kovat’s indices) and mass spectra, in comparison with custom made and NIST05 libraries (Agilent), and confirmed by co-injection of authentic standards: (±)-α-pinene (CAS no. 7785-70-8; Aldrich, 98%), (−)-β-pinene (CAS no. 18172-67-3; Sigma, 99%), 3-carene (CAS no. 13466-78-9; Aldrich, 90%), (±)-limonene (CAS no. 5989-27-5; Sigma, 97%), nonanal (CAS no. 124-19-6; Aldrich, 95%), decanal (CAS no. 112-31-2; Aldrich, 92%), β-caryophyllene (CAS no. 87-44-5; Sigma, 98.5%) and sulcatone (6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one; CAS no. 110-93-0; Fluka, 96%). For quantification, 100 ng of heptyl acetate (99.8% chemical purity; Aldrich) was added as an internal standard to a 20 μl aliquot out of the total 400 μl headspace extract.

Leaf Essential Oil Extraction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Leaf essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation (100 g leaves) using a Clevenger type apparatus for 3 h. The essential oils were collected in dichloromethane, dried over silica gel, and stored at 4 °C in amber glass vials until analysis. Essential oil yield was calculated on a moisture-free basis as 0.08–0.19% (w/w). GC-MS used an Agilent technologies 7820A instrument with a HP-5 capillary columns (30 m × 0.32 mm I.D. covered with a 0.25 µm of 5:95 phenyl-dimethylpolysiloxane plate). The mobile phase was helium at 1 mL min−1 flow rate and 180 °C injector temperature; the oven program was from 60 °C for 3 min, 75 °C for 5 min, 150 °C for 10 min, and up to 250 °C for 20 min. Software was set for 30–600 m/z range, and the mass spectra was recorded at 70 eV. The relative retention index (RRI) was calculated with a standard mix of C8–C20n-alkanes (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO, USA) under identical conditions [74 (link)]. Data were compared with the NIST 2.0 database, with authentic d-limonene, β-linalool, β-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, and (+) aromadendrene standards (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO, USA) and related literature [75 ,76 ]. The percentage of abundance was calculated from GC chromatograms.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
