The aim of this study was to characterize the bioactive compounds and evaluate the anatomical structure of Rosmarinus officinalis L. irrigated with SMF-treated water. Results demonstrate that the treatment promoted plant growth, the number of trichomes and increased concentrations of secondary metabolites. Methanol-extracted leaves revealed that rosmarinic acid was detected in both experimental groups, without a difference in the level. Camphor, α-terpineol and verbenone were determined as the most abundant compounds present in these leaf extracts and were strongly increased in plants irrigated with SMF-treated water. Similar results were also observed for endo-borneol, bornyl acetate and β-amyrin concentrations.Taken together, these results indicate that irrigation with SMF-treated water can be used to improve the production of rosemary to obtain pharmaceutical products with an increased antioxidative activity. | Keywords: | rosemary;leaves;static magnetic field;thin layer chromatography;gas chromatography | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31969 | ISSN: | 2456-1878 | DOI: | 10.22161/ijeab/3.1.37 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | vabb 2022 |
