Hydro-distilled volatile oil from the aerial parts of Chenopodium ambrosioides L. (Chenopodiaceae) was obtained and the oil was analyzed by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Air-dried aerial parts of Chenopodium ambrosioides (100 g) which were collected from Anzaly in Mazandaran province at full flowering stage on June 2003, were subjected to hydro-distillation for 3.5 h using a Clevenger-type app...

Phytotoxic Activity of the 6-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2isopropenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurane (1) isolated from Trichocline reptans (Asteraceae) was investigated in two weed species. Results indicate that the best growth inhibition effect ocurres on Chenopodium album weed. Phythotoxic effect of the T. reptans chloroformic extract and of the benzofurane are discussed and compared in the two weed species. In...

The purpose of this study was to compare the essential oil profiles of four Croatian Teucrium species (Lamiaceae), as determined by GC and GC/MS, with their antiphytoviral efficiency. A phytochemical analysis showed that T. polium, T. flavum, T. montanum and T. chamaedrys are characterized by similar essential oil compositions. The investigated oils are characterized by a high proportion of the...

The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of quinoa cultivated in Korea and to compare it with imported quinoa from the USA and Peru. The highest amount of total flavonoid contents (TFC) with 20.91 mg quercetin equivalents/100 g was measured in quinoa seed extract cultivated in Korea, while the total phenolic contents (TPC) were significantly hi...
