The component structure of essential oils from some representatives of the genus <i>Monarda</i> L. introduced into the Republic of Bashkortostan
Results of studying of component composition of essential oils of five representatives of genus Monarda L. in the culture in Bashkortostan Republic for the first time are presented in the article. Among them: M. fistulosa L., M. didyma L., M. hybrida hort., M. citriodora Cerv. ex Lag. and M. russeliana Nutt. ex Sims, grown up on collection site of aromatic plants in the Botanical garden-institute of Ufa scientific center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Determination of content of essential oil in studied samples of bee balm was carried out by his distillation with water vapor from vegetable raw materials and subsequent measurement of volume of essential oil. For the emitted essential oils organoleptic characteristics and index of refraction have been defined. The component composition of essential oil was analyzed by chromatography-mass-spectrometry method. Identification of components was carried out on mass spectrums of electronic blow, fixing such indicators as: names of connections, times of keeping, size of quantitative contribution to the sum of compounds of essential oil, an index of similarity of the library and received ranges. At the same time the index of similarity to size more than 90% demonstrated optimum coincidence of connections. By results of researches it has been noted that in essential oils received from the studied representatives of genus Monarda the different quantity of components of monoterpenic, sesquiterpenic and aromatic nature is identified. The maximum quantity of components (27) is noted in M. didyma essential oil among which prevail - 1-octene-3-ol (2.66%), cymene (7.90%), linalool (2.64%), 4-terpeniol (3.60%), methyl ether of carvacrol (15.59%), p-vinilgvaykol (36.43%), carvacrol (2.00%), etc. In M. fistulosa essential oil 21 connections are identified, at M. hybrida 20 substances, at M. citriodora - 19 substances, at M. russeliana - 17 connections are revealed. The studied species of genus Monarda can be recommended for further studying as perspective radio oil-bearing crops in the conditions of the Bashkortostan Republic.
