TI  - Chemical Compounds and Biological Activity of Turkish 
Santolina chamaecyparissus L. Essential Oil by Microwave 
Assisted Distillation
AB  - Aim of study: The essential oil of S. chamaecyparissus (SEO) was isolated by microwave assisted 
distillation system to analyze the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
Area of study: S. chamaecyparissus were collected from Osmaniye province of Turkey in April 2018.
Material and method: The chemical constituents and groups (by GC/MS and FTIR spectroscopy, 
respectively), antioxidant (by DPPH technique) and antimicrobial activities (by agar disc diffusion method) 
of SEO were investigated. 
Main results: Twenty aromatic compounds were determined and artemisia ketone (39.83%), camphor 
(17.65%), β-phellandrene (8.03%) and β-bisabolene (7.32%) were the most abundant. IC50 values which 
were the indicators of antioxidant behavior of SEO, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and gallic acid recorded 
as 88.301, 0.212 and 0.021 g/L respectively. The antimicrobial activity results showed that all tested 
microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Candida 
albicans) were highly inhibited.
Highlights: SEO could be a good source of monoterpenes especially artemisia ketone. Its herbaceous 
fragrance may provide a new usage area in men’s perfumery.
