SPME-GC-MS Analysis of the Volatile Profile of Three Fresh Yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) Morphotypes from Different Regions of Northern Italy / S. Garzoli, V. Cicaloni, L. Salvini, G. Trespidi, M. Iriti, S. Vitalini. - In: SEPARATIONS. - ISSN 2297-8739. - 10:1(2023 Jan 12), pp. 51.1-51.16. [10.3390/separations10010051]
Abstract:
Achillea millefolium L. is the most representative plant of the genus Achillea due to its long-standing use. Previous investigations have allowed for the identification of many chemical compounds including phenols, flavonoids, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and their derivatives. However, only a few reports have considered flower color in relation to A. millefolium composition. In this work, the phytochemical analysis on the volatile content of fresh samples of three morphotypes-white, pink and deep pink-collected in different points of the Italian Alpine area, was performed by the SPME-GC-MS technique. The obtained data highlighted a high content of terpenic compounds in all of the investigated morphotypes with a general predominance of monoterpenes over sesquiterpenes with the exception of the white morphotype at collection point A (Saint Marcel, Valle d'Aosta). An in-depth statistical investigation was also carried out to better interpret the distribution of the various components both in relation to the morphotype and collection point.
