    Isolation of the volatile concentrate from dried leaves of Seseli bocconi Guss. subsp. praecox Gamisans were obtained by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with carbon dioxide. Leaves from different zones of Sardinia (Italy) were collected and treated. Compositions of samples were analyzed by GC-MS. The volatile concentrate of S. bocconi from Buggerru was found to contain: himachalol (16.4%), sabinene (14.8%), -phellandrene (8.1%), cis-sabinene hydrate (4.5%). -Phellandrene (29.2%), undecane (9.6%), -pinene (6.1%) and -guaiene (5.7%) were the main constituents of the volatile extract of S. bocconi from Carloforte. The volatile concentrate of S. bocconi of Ogliastra inland, was composed chiefly by -humulene (17.7%), -himachalene (9.3%), -phellandrene (8.0) and bicyclogermacrene (7.7%). The yields of extraction were in the range (0.13–0.60%). A comparison with the hydrodistilled oil revealed in each case a remarkable difference in composition

    Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction allowed to obtain the volatile oil of different aerial parts of Ridolfia segetum (L.) Moris. Extraction conditions were as follows: pressure, 90 bar; temperature, 50C and carbon dioxide flow, 1⁄41.0 kg h1. Waxes were entrapped in the first separator set at 90 bar and 10C. The oil was recovered in the second separator working at 15 bar and 10C. The main components of the flower oil were -phellandrene (19.4%), terpinolene (20.5%), piperitenone oxide (11.6%), -phellandrene (8.2%), (Z)--ocimene (7.8%), myristicin (7.5%) and p-cymene (4.4%). The comparison with the hydrodistilled (HD) oil reveal that the significative difference was the content of sesquiterpenes which are higher in the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) products. Collection of samples at different extraction times during supercritical extraction, allowed to monitor the change of the oil composition. Lighter compounds, as hydrocarbon monoterpenes, were extracted in shorter times than the heavier hydrocarbon and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The oil from the steams was characterized by a high content of -phellandrene (12.9%), terpinolene (11.6%), myristicin (11.0%), p-cymene (9.9%), -phellandrene (8.2%) and (Z)--ocimene (6.0%) while the main components of the fruits were found to be myristicin (70.8%), piperitenone oxide (19.9%) and dill apiole (4.2%)

    Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction allowed Schinus molle L. volatile oil to be obtained. Extraction conditions were as follows: pressure, 90 bar; temperature, 50 °C, carbon dioxide flow, Φ = 1.0 kg/h. Waxes were entrapped in the first separator set at 90 bar and -10 °C. The oil was recovered in the second separator, working at 15 bar and 10 °C. The main components were α-phellandrene (26.5%), limonene + β-phellandrene (21.0%), elemol (10.8%) and α-eudesmol (6.1%). Comparison with the hydrodistilled oil (HD) did not reveal any large difference, whereas the significant difference between the SFE and SD oils was the content of sesquiterpenes, which is higher in the SFE products. Collection of samples at different extraction times during supercritical extraction allowed changes of the oil composition to be monitored. Lighter compounds, as hydrocarbon monoterpenes, were extracted in shorter times than the heavier hydrocarbon and oxygenated sesquiterpenes

    Calorimetric study of nitro group/solvent interactions. Comparison with DISQUAC predictions

    No full text
    A flow microcalorimeter, model 2277-LKB, has been used to determine excess enthalpies, H(E), at 298.15 K, for liquid mixtures containing ethanenitrile, propanenitrile, butanentrile, or pentanenitrile + benzene or tetrachloromethane. These experimental results together with the literature data on thermodynamic properties of alkanenitrile + benzene or tetrachloromethane mixtures have been interpreted in terms of the dispersive quasi-chemical (DISQUAC) group contribution model. Two sets of structure-dependent interaction parameters, for the nitrile group/aromatic and for the nitrite group/tetrachloromethane contacts, have been obtained. The model provides a fairly consistent description of the excess Gibbs energy, G(E), excess enthalpy, H(E), and of activity coefficients at infinite dilution, gamma(infinity)(i), of the considered mixtures
