Introduction

Modem Methods of Plant Analysis

When the handbook Modern Methods of Plant Analysis was first introduced in 1954 the considerations were: 1. the dependence of scientific progress in biology on the improvement of existing

and the introduction of new methods; 2. the difficulty in finding many new analytical methods in specialized journals

which are normally not accessible to experimental plant biologists; 3. the fact that in the methods sections of papers the description of methods is

frequently so compact, or even sometimes so incomplete that it is difficult to reproduce experiments. These considerations still stand today. The series was highly successful, seven volumes appearing between 1956 and

1964. Since there is still today a demand for the old series, the publisher has decided to resume publication of Modern Methods of Plant Analysis. It is hoped that the New Series will be just as acceptable to those working in plant sciences and related fields as the early volumes undoubtedly were. It is difficult to single out the major reasons for success of any publication, but we believe that the methods published in the first series were up-to-date at the time and presented in a way that made description, as applied to plant material, complete in itself with little need to consult other publications.

Contributing authors have attempted to follow these guidelines in this New Series of volumes.

Editorial

The earlier series Modern Methods of Plant Analysis was initiated by Michel V. Tracey, at that time in Rothamsted, later in Sydney, and by the late Karl Paech (1910-1955), at that time at Tiibingen. The New Series will be edited by Paech's successor H. F. Linskens (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and John F. Jackson (Adelaide, South Australia). As were the earlier editors, we are convinced "that there is a real need for a collection of reliable up-to-date methods for plant analysis in large areas of applied biology ranging from agriculture and horticultural experiment stations to pharmaceutical and technical institutes concerned with raw material of plant origin". The recent developments in the fields of plant biotechnology and genetic engineering make it even more important for workers in the plant sciences to become acquainted with the more sophisticated methods,

VI Introduction

which sometimes come from biochemistry and biophysics, but which also have been developed in commercial firms, space science laboratories, non-university research institutes, and medical establishments.

Concept of the New Series

Many methods described in the biochemical, biophysical, and medical literature cannot be applied directly to plant material because of the special cell structure, surrounded by a tough cell wall, and the general lack of knowledge of the specific behavior of plant raw material during extraction procedures. Therefore all authors of this New Series have been chosen because of their special experience with handling plant material, resulting in the adaptation of methods to problems of plant metabolism. Nevertheless, each particular material from a plant species may require some modification of described methods and usual techniques. The methods are described critically, with hints as to their limitations. In general it will be possible to adapt the methods described to the specific needs of the users of this series, but nevertheless references have been made to the original papers and authors. While the editors have worked to plan in this New Series and made efforts to ensure that the aims and general layout of the contributions are within the general guidelines indicated above, we have tried not to interfere too much with the personal style of each author.

There are several ways of classifying the methods used in modern plant analysis. The first is according to the technological and instrumental progress made over recent years. These aspects were used for the first five volumes in this series describing methods in a systematic way according to the basic principles of the methods.

A second classification is according to the plant material that has to undergo analysis. The specific application of the analytical method is determined by the special anatomical, physiological, and biochemical properties of the raw material and the technology used in processing. This classification will be used in Volumes 6 to 8, and for some later volumes in the series.

A third way of arranging a description of methods is according to the classes of substances present in the plant material and the subject of analytiC methods. The latter will be used in this volume and for later volumes of the series, which will describe modern analytical methods for alkaloids, drugs, hormones, etc.

Naturally, these three approaches to developments in analytical techniques for plant materials cannot exclude some small overlap and repetition; but careful selection of the authors of individual chapters, according to their expertise and experience with the specific methodological technique, the group of substances to be analyzed, or the plant material which is the subject of chemical and physical analysis, guarantees that recent developments in analytical methodology are described in an optimal way.

Introduction VII

Volume Twelve - Essential Oils and Waxes

Essential oils and waxes are often classified as secondary plant products, and as a result many may be led to believe that they are of only secondary importance. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Perusal of a well-known monthly publication listing research papers of leading plant science journals shows that, currently, papers on essential oils comprise at least 10% of titles published. A total approximately 2000 papers are scanned per month. Further­more, as the world population moves into an era with increasing demand for "organically" grown products with minimal use of manufactured chemicals both in agriculture and for other purposes, these secondary plant products are assuming a growing importance. Many of the essential oils have extremely useful properties and can be put to use in many ways. For example, terpinen-4-01, an antiseptic agent, is produced synthetically in Europe at great expense ($25000 per tonne). It also occurs naturally in Australia as an essential oil of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and is sold as tea tree oil obtained by distillation of the plant material. At present only about 50 tonnes of tea tree oil are produced annually, but it is possible that this will increase dramatically with the setting-up of tea tree plantations and as the demand increases for a natural antiseptic perceived as an "organic" cure or additive. Eucalyptus oil is another useful, so­called secondary plant product which is finding commercial markets around the world. Approximately 650 tonnes of eucalyptus oil are produced each year, a large amount considering that this involved the steam distillation of more than 15000 tonnes dry weight of eucalyptus leaves per annum.

By definition essential oils are highly volatile substances isolated by a physical method or process from an odiferous plant of a single botanical species (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 15th Edition, 1986). The oil bears the name of the plant species from which it is derived, e.g., rose oil, peppermint oil, etc. These oils were termed essential because they were thought to represent the very essence of odor and flavor. Isolation methods in the past have included steam distillation, en­fleurage (i.e., extraction using fat), maceration, solvent extraction, or mechanical pressing. The oils are generally stored in the plant in glands whose function is not well understood. Chemically the essential oils are for the most part tropanes, multiple isoprenoid units, aromatics, heterocyclics, and terpenes. The genetics and biochemistry of the biosynthesis of the essential oils is reasonably well understood in some cases. For example, it is known that limonene is synthesized from geranyl pyrophosphate in the oil glands of Mentha spp., and something of the genetics of this conversion is understood. Further, we know that the various oxygenated derivatives oflimonene that make up the remainder of Mentha oil are synthesized from limonene by microsomal preparations from oil glands, which show cyto­chrome P-450-type mixed function oxygenase activity. Investigations of this type are underway for many of the essential oils and waxes, and so there is a great demand for reliable methods of analysis for these compounds.

Given the growing importance of essential oils and waxes, this Volume deals with the analysis of a broad spectrum of these compounds from many plant origins. Classical methods in lipid analysis, such as acid value, hydrogen value, iodine value, Reichert-Meissl value, saponification value, thyocyanogen test,

VIII Introduction

optical rotation, viscosity, refraction index, etc., are not included; they can be found in the standard methods books. We restrict ourselves to modern, recently developed analytical methods, and to oily and waxy substances of plant origin.

Commercial oils of long-standing importance such as olive oil are, of course, dealt with here, but we include also chapters on lesser-known oils such as that from thyme, tea, ginger, desert trees, eucalypt, garlic, mint, cedar, and juniper. In addition analysis of spices, seasoning, seaweeds, perfumes, liquors, and of atmospheric monoterpene hydrocarbons are to be found here, together with a treatment of pharmacological and allergenic activity analysis of plant essential oils. The volatiles offlower and pollen may be of importance in attracting bees and other insects to certain plants for pollination purposes; this topic is accordingly dealt with herein. Waxes perhaps are harder to find amongst topics in the current scientific literature, but nevertheless epicuticular waxes are included here as an ever-important topic, as well as presentation of aspects of analysis of waxes which render certain sands water-repellent in Australia! In the driest of earth's continents, this is certainly a topic of interest.
