摘要

This study evaluated the influence of the physical state of plant material (fresh vs. dehydrated) on the yield and chemical profile of the essential oil of Cyperus sesquiflorus (Torr.) Mattf. & Kük. Extractions were performed by hydrodistillation, with data normalized on a dry weight basis (t-test, p < 0.05). The dehydration process (50 °C/72 h) significantly increased extraction efficiency, raising the yield from 0.33% (fresh) to 0.58% (dehydrated). GC–MS analysis revealed a predominantly sesquiterpene compounds matrix in both treatments. Although drying reduced the concentration of biomarkers such as aristolochene and the chemotaxonomic marker neopetasan, it conferred greater extract complexity, with 13.35% of exclusive constituents in the dried material. It is concluded that dehydration optimizes biomass utilization and logistics while preserving the chemical identity of the species.
