Μελέτη και ταυτοποίηση σύστασης, εκχυλισιμότητας συστατικών των βοτάνων θρούμπη και δίκταμο σε τσίπουρο

Abstract

The subject of this thesis is the study and identification of the composition and extractability of the components of two herbs, thrombus and dittany in tsipouro. Thrombus and dittany are two aromatic plants, endemic to the Greek land, which are traditionally used for their healing properties. They are herbs rich in bioactive elements, which recent research confirms their positive effect on human health. Tsipouro is a grape marc distillate, which, however, according to European legislation should be produced exclusively in Greece. It was considered particularly interesting to experimentally study the composition of the extracts of each herb with tsipouro. The resulting extracts were distilled. At the same time, distillation was carried out on samples of tsipouro with thrombus and tsipouro with dittany, without prior extraction. The resulting distillates, as well as a sample of tsipouro, were subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine their composition. Ιt was observed that the extractability of the herbal components was high, even when distillation was carried out without prior extraction
