Standardization
of geranium essential oil
Abstract
The rich
chemical composition of essential oils makes it possible to use them in various
industries. Especially it can be used in pharmacy, as pharmaceutical substances
of plant origin as part of prophylactic / therapeutic products, as well as finished
medicines. We have standardized the geranium essential oil (EO) according to
the methods and quality indicators given in the General Pharmacopoeia Monograph
(GPM) "Essential Oils" of the State Pharmacopoeia (State Pharmacopoeia) of the
XIV edition. Specific (representative) components of geranium EM (geraniol,
citronellol, neral, geranial) were identified, and a geraniol characteristic
component was quantified by gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization
detector (PID). The results of geranium EO standardization can be used in the
development of a new pharmacopeia monograph (PM) "Essential oil of geranium.
Pelargonii graveolensis oleum aethereum" and the interstate standard GOST
ISO "Chromatographic profile of Bourbon geranium essential oil".
Key words:
essential oil, Pelargonium graveolens, geraniol, gas chromatography,
flame ionization detector, state pharmacopoeia.
