considering the importance of medicinal plants growth and biological application of fertilizers with sustainable agricultural production in order to eliminate or reduce chemical input to achieve desirable and sustainable quality, an experimental research was  conducted based on a randomized complete block design with two factors of chemical nitrogen (46% urea nitrogen) at  two levels (zero, 25 ...

background: an essential oil is a liquid that is generally distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers or other elements of a plant. objective: cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) essential oil (ceo) was analyzed to determine oil component. antifungal effect of ceo was determined by in vitro technique. in second stage, effect of different concentrations of ceo by pdm on postharvest life of strawberry (fra...

coumarins are bioactive secondary metabolites and could be found in the fruits of umbelliferae. prangos asperula boiss. is an iranian native plant which is found wild in many regions of iran. osthol, a prenylated coumarin, was isolated from the hexane extract of the fruits of p. asperula and its structure was elucidated using 1 hnmr, 13 cnmr, ir and ms spectra. the essential oil of the aerial p...

conclusions according to antioxidant activity outcomes, the amount of ic50s of aqueous extracts of flower and stem and also butylated hydroxyl toluene (bht) as standard were 232.34, 63.25 and 45.59 ppm respectively. ultimately, it was highlighted that antioxidant activity of aqueous extract of flower was weaker than stem. results sixty one compounds were identified in the essential oil of the f...

the essential oil of stachys lavandulifolia vahl (lamiaceae) was isolated by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of the plant, with a yield of 0.25%. the chemical composition of volatile oil was analyzed by capillary gc and gc/ ms. the main components were germacrene-d (13.2%), ?-phellandrene (12.7%), ?-pinene (10.2%), myrcene (9.4%), ?-pinene (8.4%) and z-?-ocimene (5.8%).

background: mentha longifolia is one of the aromatic medicinal plant belongs to lamiaceae family. there are some active ingredients in the essential oil of m. longifolia, which potentially could impair the hepatic function. the aim of this study was to find the maximum dose of essential oil of m. longifolia (eoml) that does not show any hepatic deterioration. methods: adult wistar rats fed diff...

introduction: essential oils are used as flavoring agents in various foods. layer-by-layer (lbl) technique is a method in which the material is dipped into a series of different solutions containing oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a multilayered edible coating with an antimicrobial compound (lemon and peppermint) in enhancing the...
