INTRODUCTION

1. Rationale

Located in the tropical monsoon region, Vietnam is ranked in the sixteenth in the world in terms of biodiversity. According to the record and description in the “Indochinese General Plant” (Flore Générale de l’Indochine) and its subsequent collections, there are over 240 families with over 7,000 vascular plant species. In recent years, many botanists have predicted that the figure could reach over 12,000 species. Currently, there have been about 10,500 species of vascular plants, of which about 657 species belonging to 357 genera and 114 families containing essential oils (accounting for about 6.3% of total species; 15.8% of total genera and 37.8% of total families).

Along with the development of the society, the need to learn and to use compounds of natural origin is increasing. Among the plants that are considered as an important resource, those plants containing essential oils play an important part. This is an essential source of many industries such as cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals, etc. Most essential oil-bearing plants are in the two branches of Pinus (Pinophyta) and the Magnolia (Magnoliophyta). The family which have many species of essential oil plants include Cúc (Asteraceae), Cam (Rutaceae), Na (Annonaceae), Long não (Lauraceae), Bạc hà (Lamiaceae), Hoa tán (Apiaceae), Hoa hồng (Rosaceae), Dầu (Dipterocarpaceae), Nhài (Oleaceae), Thông (Pinaceae), Hoàng đàn (Cupressaceae).

Today, essential oils are widely used in many industries, especially the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Especially in the field of cosmetics, essential oil is an indispensable material. Although there is an increase in synthetic aromatics, these artificial products cannot replace natural oils, because they do not create a cool aroma and especially synthetic fragrances are often too expensive and highly toxic.

Vu Quang National Park was established under the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 102/2002 / QD-TTg dated July 30, 2002, with a total area of about 54,000 ha, including 76% of the natural forest area with 5 types of main forest divided by different elevations. This is the place of growth for many valuable species: Dalbergia oliveri (Cẩm lai), Chukrasia tabularis (Lát hoa), Erythrophleum fordii (Lim), Magnolia hypolampra (Giổi), Aquilaria crassna (Trầm hương), etc and many precious medicinal plants. There have been a number of studies on vascular plant diversity in Vu Quang National Park, but there is a lack of in-depth

1

studies on plant resources. Meanwhile, there exists a huge potential of essential oil resources in there. Therefore, the author selected the topic: “Research on the composition of essential oil-bearing plant species in Vu Quang National Park, Ha Tinh Province” as the content of the thesis. 2. Objectives

CHAPTER 1 LITERATURE REVIEW

1.1. Some concepts of essential oils 1.1.1. General concept of an essential oil-bearing plant

there was no exact definition of an essential oil-bearing plant before. When some oil compounds were found that included in the body of all organisms (animals’ bile acids, carotene in most plants, etc). As such, there is no clear boundary between essential oil-bearing plants and other plants. From this perspective, Nicolaev (1968) defined: “Essential oil-bearing plants are those different from other plants in that their essential oils can be obtained”.

Later, when studying the structure and functioning of secretory organs, it became clear about the difference in the nature of essential oil-bearing plants. From that, it is possible to define that Essential oil-bearing plants are plants which contain specialized structures for the secretion and accumulation of essential oils. 1.1.2. Concept of essential oils

The French Standard (1987), gives out the definition of essential oils as follows: “Products obtained from plant-derived materials, by steam distillation or by mechanical methods for fruit peels of Citrus genus. Essential oils are separated from the water by physical methods. ” This definition has the limitation that is it excludes products obtained by solvent extraction as well as products obtained by other methods.

- All essential oils are liquid, viscous, with optical properties, causing the

- Essential oils have scent since the composition of essential oil is composed

- Essential oils are evaporable. Based on the chemical molecular structure of essential oils, they are

Essential oils are understood as blends of organic compounds, complex molecular structures and different physical and chemical properties. Essential oils have several properties: rotation of light. - Most essential oils have less density than water (d<1), some have a greater density than water (d>1), insoluble or very rarely soluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. from free-form constituents. organized into 4 main groups:

- Aliphatic compounds - Terpenes and their derivatives. - Benzene derivatives. - Other ingredients

1.2. Studying essential oil-bearing plants 1.2.1. Research on essential oil-bearing plants in the world

So far there are not enough documents to visualize the history of studies on essential oil-bearing plants in the world. The earliest available document is the “Medicinal Plants” found in Japan, written in 890. In this document, there are nearly 100 species of essential oil-bearing plants, and it describes the process of producing and using these plants.

However, research on essential oils and essential oils plants started to attract a lot of attention from researchers in the early twentieth century. The most remarkable works are those published by Charabot and his students in 1903, 1904, and 1907. At later times, there was a boom in the number of researches varying in many fields.

According to Brian M. Lawrence in “Progress in essential oils” (1992-1994) and “Essential oils” (1995-2005), the author has estimated about 1,000 species of essential oil-bearing plants that have been analyzed for chemical composition in the world. According to LPA Oyen and Nguyen Xuan Dung (1999) in the project “Essential oil plants in South-East Asia”, in Southeast Asian countries, over 70 species of essential oil plants have been analyzed for chemical composition, in which about 30 species have been studied quite comprehensively from biological characteristics, ecology, distribution, ability to grow, develop, use, yield and be harm by pest, traded for commercial purposes. 1.2.2. Research on essential oil plants in Vietnam

The research works on essential oil in Vietnam started after 1956. During this time a series of researches on peppermint, lemongrass, etc. were published. According to La Dinh Mo and Luu Dam Cu (2001), until now, we have exploited from nature and planted about 20 species of essential oil-bearing plants out of over 600 known species (only 3% of the total). The aforementioned species are commonly planted species such as Lemongrass, Peppermint, Fragrance, Camphor, Melaleuca, Cinnamon, Basil, Anise, Patchouli, etc.

2.4. Research methodology 2.4.1. Researching from secondary survey

Data on natural and socio-economic conditions in the study area, plant samples kept in domestic and foreign museums, published works related to the topic. 2.4.2. Methodology of field investigations and surveys

Based on the map, some main areas were chosen to survey. There are 05 main typical areas which are representative for Vu Quang National Park. The first route is Park Center to Sao La Station – Po Mu. The second route is Park Center – Co station (Trạm Cò) – Phan fortress (Thành Cụ Phan) – De slope (Dốc Dẻ). The third route is Son Kim I. The fourth route is Son Kim II.The fith route is Huong Khe. The process and fieldwork survey were applied following the method introduced by Nguyen Nghia Thin in “Plant research methods” (2007).

To identify essential oil-bearing plants, it is often necessary to look up published documents about the chemical composition of essential oils and rely on photosensitivity (using nose to smell for fragrance) during field investigation. 2.4.3. Methods of sampling and classification

Sampling: For each type of tree, 1-3 specimens are usually collected from the same place. After collecting the sample, the sample is then numbered. When collecting samples, the researchers make a record of some characteristics that are easily faded away when the samples are dried or soaked in alcohol or hormones such as colors, latex, properties of flowers, leaves, etc. Also photos of trees are taken with Canon digital cameras.

Classification: The research method used to classify is a comparative morphological method. This is a traditional research method that is being used today. This method is done based on studying some characteristics of vegetative organs and reproductive organs. Among the two, reproductive organs are the focus, such as inflorescence position, flower structure (characteristics of bracts, calyx, corolla, stamens, fruits, seeds, etc).

In the process of identifying scientific names of species, the research relies on the

classified work about Vietnamese plants (Pham Hoang Ho, 1999-2000).

The following documents are also used: A handbook for searching and identifying families of angiosperms in Vietnam (Nguyen Tien Ban, 1997); Vietnamese timber trees (Forest Inventory and Planning Institute, Ministry of journal plants (1907); Chinese Forestry) (1971-1989); Indochinese General

7

plantology (1994-2002); Common plants found in Vietnam; Vietnamese plantology: Annonaceae family, Mint Family (Lamiaceae), Ginger family (Zingiberaceae), Camphor family (Lauraceae)], Asteraceae and some other specialized documents.

Rectification of scientific names and list development: Revision of scientific names according to Vietnam’s Plant Species List, RK Brummitt (1992) and http://www.theplantlist.org 2.4.4. Methods to assess the diversity of the flora

-Diversity of taxon of flora: According to “Handbook of biodiversity

research” by Nguyen Nghia Thin (1997):

- Diversity of the trunk types: Based on the records of field surveys as well as related documents (Specifically, the names of Vietnamese forest trees to collect and evaluate the different forms of trunks of essential oil-bearing trees.

- Diversity in the application of the flora: The application value of essential oil bearning plants is explored from documents such as: “Dictionary of Vietnamese medicinal plants” (Vo Van Chi, 2012), “1900 species of useful plants in Vietnam” (Tran Dinh Ly et al, 1993), “List of Vietnamese plant species” (Nguyen Tien Ban (Editor) et al, 2003, 2005), “External forest products Vietnamese timber “(Trieu Van Hung et al, 2007),” Vietnamese medicinal plants and herbs “(Do Tat Loi, 2003),” Vietnamese medicinal plants, how to grow, pick, process, and treat” (Le Tran Duc, 1997), “Medicinal plants and animals in Vietnam” (Do Huy Bich et al, 2004), etc.

- Geographical diversity

Establish the spectrum of geographical factors, and apply the division of the

authors Póc Tamás (1965), Le Tran Chan (1999) and Nguyen Nghia Thin (2007).

- Diversity of rare and precious plant species and conservation issues: Based on the Vietnam Red Book (2007), including extinct species (EX), extinct species in nature (EW), critically endangered species (CR), endangered species (EN), vulnerable species (VU), low risk species (LR). 2.4.5. Collect samples and distill essential oil

Specimens for distillation for essential oils are separate parts of plants (leaves, branches, bark, stems, rhizomes, flowers, fruits). Each sample collected are of between 0.5-3 kg in fresh condition. The sample is inscribed with the serial number (this number coincides with the model number for classification) and the time of collection. After collection, the sample was chopped and distilled by steam

8

extraction method with reflux in Clevengert equipment for 2-4 hours at normal pressure according to Vietnam Pharmacopoeia IV standard (2009). 2.4.6. Methods of quantifying essential oils

Essential oils of various parts are quantified according to method I of Vietnam Pharmacopoeia II (2002). The content of fresh essential oil is calculated by the formula.

a x 0.9

(when d<1)

CHAPTER 3 RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

3.1. Diversity of essential oil plants in Vu Quang National Park 3.1.1. Diversity in phyla and classes

Results of surveys and identification of essential oil-containing plants in Vu Quang National Park, Ha Tinh .There are 366 species, 145 genera and 45 families of 2 vascular plant phyla (Table 3.1) that have been identified.

Pinophyta Magnoliophyta Magnoliopsida Liliopsida Tổng The results of the table above show that essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park belong to 2 phyla: Pine (Pinophyta) and Ngoc Lan (Magnoliophyta), of which the species are mainly concentrated in Ngoc Lan phylum (Magnoliophyta) with 359 species, accounting for 98.09% of the total number of species, 139 genera, accounting for 95.86% and 41 families, accounting for 91.11% of the total number of families; Pinophyta with 7 species, accounting for 1.91%; 6 genera, accounting for 4.14% and 4 families, accounting for 8.89% of the total number of families. Thus, the essential oil-bearing species concentrate in the phylum of Ngoc Lan with over 90% of genera and species, which is quite reasonable compared to the evolution of plants because the Magnoliophyta is an phylum dominating vascular plants.

The analysis of the taxons of two classes in the Magnoliophyta phylum (Table 3.2), there are also some differences. Magnoliopsida has a dominant taxon number of over 80% of the total number of families, genera and species; The class of Onions (Liliopsida) accounts for a low rate with 7 families (accounting for 16.67%); 19 genera (accounting for 13.67%) and 55 species (accounting for 15.32%).

3.1.2. Diversity in families

Of the 45 families recorded that contain essential oils, 32 families (accounting for 71.11% of the total number of families) have a number of spieces ranging from 1 to 4 with a total of 69 species accounting for only 18.85% of the total spieces. There are 5 families (accounting for 11.11% of the total families) with the number of species from 6 to 10 species, with the total of 40 species accounting for 10.93%. There are 4 families (accounting for 8.89% of the total families) of 11-14 species, with a total of 51 species accounting for 13.93%. There are 4 families vvith more than 21 species with 206 species, acounting for 56.28%. 3.1.3. Diversity of genera Essential oil-bearing plant species in Vu Quang National Park belong to 145 genera. In particular, the number of species distributed in the genera is uneven. There are 17 genera accounting for 11.72% of the total number of genera, but there are 164 species accounting for 44.81% of the total species. The number of genera with the number of species less than 5 is 128 genera (accounting for 88.28%), with a total of 202 species accounting for 55.19%. The genera with species which produce more essential oils are Litsea with 25 species, Cinnamomum with 21 species, followed by Alpinia – 13 species, Piper and Fissistigma with 11 species and Syzygium – 10 species. The remaining genera have the number of species ranging from 5 to 9.

Further analysis of the genera having essential oil-bearing species in Vu Quang National Park showed that 17 genera have more than 5 species belonging to 7 families: Camphor (Lauraceae), Ginger (Zingiberaceae), Annonaceae, Pepper (Piperaceae), Myrtaceae, Magnoliaceae, Euphorbiaceae. Of which, the Camphor family has 7 genera (accounting for 41.17%) with 81 species, accounting for 49.39%. The results of this analysis show that in Vu Quang National Park, the Camphor family is very diverse and abundant. This is also perfectly reasonable, because camphor trees are adapted to the local climatic conditions, … while Vu

11

Quang National Park is home to tropical monsoon climate, with both low and high belts, therefore, it is very convenient for camphor tree species to grow and develop. Ginger family has 3 genera: Alpinia with 13 species, Amomum with 8 species, Zingiber with 7 species. The total number of species of the three genera of the Ginger family is 28, accounting for 17.07% of the total species. The Annonaceae family also has 3 genera: Fissistigma with 11 species, Desmos and Uvaria with 5 species. The total number of species of 3 genera is 21 species, accounting for 12.80%. 3.1.4. Comparing composition of essential oil plants in Vu Quang National Park with that of Pu Mat National Park - Compare with Pu Mat National Park To see the diversity of essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park, Ha Tinh Province, the results were compared with essential oil species in Pu Mat National Park (2016) by Nguyen Viet Hung (Table 3.5). .

Thus, the results in (Table 3.5) show that the number of species bearing essential oil and belonging to Conifer Phylum in Vu Quang National Park when compared to that of Pu Mat National Park accounts for 116.67% (7 species compared to 6 species); the number of species of Magnoliaceae in Vu Quang is higher than that of Pu Mat at 111.23% (359 compared to 355). The difference is not significant. Meanwhile, the area of Vu Quang accounts for 59.57% compared to that of Pu Mat. Thus, the above results show that the number of species of essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park is higher than that of Pu Mat even though the area of Pu Mat is 1.8 times higher. The number of vascular plant species currently known in Vu Quang National Park is 1.5 times higher than that in Pu Mat National Park. The results show that the species of plants bearing

12

essential oils do not depend on the area and the number of species, but investigation. 3.1.5. Diversity in trunk form

Through surveys which record the trunk form of essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park, and also based on "Names of Vietnamese forest trees", there are five main types of trees whose trunk types having been classified: trees whose trunk is large, trees whose trunk is small, shrubs, liana and herbaceous plants (Table 3.7). Table 3.7. Trunk forms of some essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park

Tổng Number of species 108 102 79 46 31 366 29,51 27,87 21,58 12,57 8,47 100

The table above shows that the herbaceous group has the largest number of species with 108 species, accounting for 29.51% of the total number of species, this type is found mainly in species of families such as Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Ginger (Zingiberaceae), Apiaceae, Araceae, Rice (Poaceae). The second most popular group is trees with large woody trunk with 102 species, accounting for 27.87% of the total number of species distributed in families such as Podocarpaceae, Magnolia (Magnoliaceae), Camphor (Lauraceae), Euphorbiaceae, Myrtaceae. Trees with small woody trunks are mainly found in some representatives from Camphor family (Lauraceae), Verbena (Verbenaceae), Myrtaceae, Orange (Rutaceae), Annona(Annonaceae). Liana with 46 species, accounting for 12.57% concentrated in the Annona (Annonaceae), Pepper (Piperaceae), Jasmine (Oleaceae), Orange (Rutaceae). The least popular type is shrubs with 31 species, accounting for 8.47%, mainly from the Myrtaceae family, Verbena (Verbenaceae), Orange (Rutaceae) Euphorbias (Euphorbiaceae), Ginseng (Araliaceae), Annona (Annonaceae), etc. Thus, the main type of the essential oil- bearing species is the herbaceous plant which is a group of plants that grow and

13

develop quickly. Their life span is short but they produce large biomass. Therefore, these findings contribute to the orientation for planting, exploiting and using plant resources for essential oils effectively. 3.1.6. Diversity of usage value

The results of the statistical study of the use of essential oils bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park show that the species are not only used for essential oils but also for other uses. For example, they can be used as medicine, food and spice. The documents used for lookup are Vietnamese medicinal plants dictionary by Vo Van Chi (2012), 1,900 useful tree species by Tran Dinh Ly et al (1993), List of Vietnamese plant species of Nguyen Tien Ban et al. In addition to the value for essential oils, the use value of the species is classified into 7 different groups presented in (table 3.8).

Plant geographic factor refers to a species that is endemic or migratory. It is a criterium to understand the degree of similarity or difference in the geographical

15

distribution of plant species. Therefore, when studying the geographical factors of essential oil-bearing species in Vu Quang National Park, based on the classification framework of Nguyen Nghia Thin (2007), it is divided into 8 main factors.

The results of the table above show that, among 366 species of essential oil trees, 363 species are identified, accounting for 99.08% of the total number of species, and 3 species without information should be classified as not yet identified.

- Group of tropical elements with 188 species, accounting for 51.37% of the total number of species. It is completely dominant compared to the remaining groups of essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang.

- Group of tropical ancient element with 13 species, accounting for 3.55% of the total number of species. This is the factor in which the species extends from Australia to Asia and Africa.

- Group with the temperate zone factor has 7 species, accounting for 1.91% of the total number of species, mainly distributed in the temperate North region with 1 species, Northeast Asia to Japan with 6 species.

- Group of plant element with 6 species, accounting for 1.64% of the total number of species. The species is mainly acclimatized and is now widely distributed in the wild.

- Among the group with tropical elements, the Asian tropical is the largest with 77 species, accounting for 21.04%, followed by Indochina-Malezi with 29 species, accounting for 7.92%; Indochina-India and Indochina South China together with 27 species, accounting for 7.38%; Indochina-Himalayas with 8 species, accounting for 2.19% and Indochina Endemic elements with 20 species, accounting for 5.46%.

- Endemic and semi-endemic factor with 141 species, accounting for 38.52% of total species. In particular, the endemic factor with 62 species, accounting for 16.94% of the total number of species; endemic element with 79 species, accounting for 21.58%. Thus, the ratio of endemic factors indicates the importance of the species of indigenous plants producing essential oils in Vu Quang National Park. This ratio is also consistent with the findings of Thai Van Trung (1978), Le Tran Chan et al. (1999) which suggest that Vietnam's flora has over 30% of endemic and near endemic species. Vu Quang National Park is a site

16

of low to high mountainous terrain (2,200 m) and has potential for further research to detect and add more plant species into the statistics. 3.1.8. Diversity of rare and precious genetic resources

Based on the Vietnam Red Data Book (2007), the researchers have listed 22 endangered plant species in 2 phyla, 15 families and 21 genera distributed in Vu Quang National Park, Ha Tinh province (Table 3.10).

2. Recommendations

Due to limited research time and complex research site with many high mountains, the research has not been able to fully assess the resources of essential oil-bearing plants in Vu Quang National Park. Therefore, more in-depth research is needed to fully assess the potential of plant resources, especially essential oils for essential oils, which are currently of interest in the country and the world.

It is necessary to study the system of essential oil-bearing plant resources in Vu Quang National Park in groups and evaluate biological activity (resistance to tested microorganisms, mosquitoes resistance) as a basis for resource applicatio of essential oils there. At the same time, it is necessary to assess the current status and potential of a number of species that are significant for large-scale exploitation.
