Salvia sclarea

Optically pure (3i )(—)-linalyl acetate was detected in the oils of clary sage Salvia sclarea). Salvia dominica, lavender and lavandin using H-NMR spectroscopy with a chiral lanthanide shift reagent, Eu(hfc)3. This enantiomer was also detected in the oils of lavender, lavandin and bergamot using complexation gas chromatography on Ni(hfc) 2, and... 

Clary sage oil is obtained by steam distillation of flowering tops and foliage of cultivated Salvia sclarea L. (Lamiaceae). It is a pale yellow to yellow liquid with a fresh herbaceous odor and a wine-like bouquet. 

Sclareol 114 (Structure 4.35), a ditertiary glycol, is a constituent of clarysage Salvia sclarea) oil [56, 57]. The diterpene ketone sclareolide 115 and the lactone ambrox 116 are important (bio)synthetic derivatives found in clarysage extract.

Other species in the Salvia genus have been shown to contain antimicrobial compounds. For example. Salvia sclarea was shown to contain various compounds which were active against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Proteus mirabilis (25), suggesting the possibility that. S, divinorum might be a source of unique antimicrobials as well.

The examination of a range of essences predominantly essential oils but also absolutes, resins and waxes, popular for use in aromatherapy. They are arranged in plant families, with common names and botanical names. For example, the essential oil commonly called clary sage belongs to the Lamiaceae (also called Labiatae) plant family and its botanical name is Salvia sclarea. Essences examined are ... 

Clary Oil occurs as a pale yellow to yellow liquid with a herbaceous odor and a winy bouquet. It is the oil obtained by steam distillation from the flowering tops and leaves of the clary sage plant, Salvia sclarea L. (Fam. Labiatae). It is soluble in most fixed oils, and in mineral oil up to 3 volumes, but it becomes opalescent on further dilution. It is insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol. 

Different plants including spearmint (Mentha spicata L ), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), dill (Anethum graveolens L.), clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) were extracted with CO2 in a high pressure apparatus with 5 L extractor vessel volume. Fractionation of extracts was carried out by releasing the separation pressure at two stages. The extracts were separated into essential oil rich oil and fatty/waxy products. The extracts were collected as separate samples successively in time. The extraction with carbon dioxide was compared to conventional steam distillation (essential oils) and to Soxhlet extraction with hexane (fatty oils).

In Salvia genus (Salvia officinalis, Salvia fruticosa. Salvia sclarea and Salvia dominica) (+)-a-terpineol occurs of not a very high enantiomeric purity. 

The GC-MS and HPLC analyses of oils from Salvia sclarea provided a comparative analysis profile of different plant materials. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (e.g., germacrene D and (3-caryophyllene), monoterpene alcohols (e.g., ot-terpineol), diterpenoids (mainly sclareol), monoterpene hydrocarbons (e.g., myrcene, limonene, and the two ocimene isomers), and the principal components (linalyl acetate and linalool) were analyzed. 

Source Salvia sclarea L. (syn. S. sclarea var. turkestaniana Mottet) (Lamiaceae). Native to the Mediterranean, the plant is cultivated there, in the former Soviet Union and in the USA. The blossoming herb is used. 

It has been observed by this author that the adaptability of an essential oil bearing plant to a dry habitat (xerophyte) or an environment that is neither too wet or too dry (mesophyte) has a profound effect upon the influence of water stress and intake on the oil yield. Fop example, xerophytic plants such as Coriandrum sativum, Salvia sclarea, Lavandula vera, Matricaria chamomilla, etc. produce an increased oil yield under moisture stress. In contrast, mesophytic plants such as Carum carvi, Levisticum officinale, Anethum graveolens, Ocimum basilicum etc. produce a decreased oil yield under moisture stress. They require a...

Sclareol, a natural product first isolated from the essential oil of Salvia sclarea L. (Labiatae) in 1931, is used for diverse applications in the perfumery and flavoring industries and in folk medicine. This diterpene has been described recently to be hydroxylated by three strains, i.e. Cunninghamella sp., Septomyxa affinis 66 and Mucor plumbeus 67, 68, leading essentially to hydroxylation reactions on the A ring of this compound (Fig. 16.1-12). Some of these metabolites could be used for further synthesis of some biologically active targets or as mammalian metabolism models.
