Abstract

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L) is a perennial herb with an intensive aromatic flavor. Its most important chemical constituents are essential oils (e.g., 1,8-cineole and camphor) and antioxidants (e.g., carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid). The common methods to extract the essential oil of rosemary are steam or hydro distillation. The aim of this work is to investigate the residual antioxidants after hydro distillation, especially rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid. For this purpose, the hydro distillation water residues were analyzed by HPLC-UV. Moreover, the influence of the extraction duration on the concentration of the antioxidants was investigated. Also, the residual amount of these compounds in the leaves was examined. The total antioxidant activity of the extracts and of the pure compounds was determined by DPPH assays. It is shown that after 2.5 h of hydro distillation the amount of rosmarinic acid and the antioxidant activity in the water residue reaches a maximum value. In addition, the yield and the quality of the essential oil were investigated to draw a comparison between steam and hydro distillations of Moroccan rosemary leaves. (C) 2016 Academie des sciences.
