Mature and healthy house rat, Rattus rattus of both sexes, was exposed to 5, 10, and 20% euc...

Background & Aim: The use of herbal extracts as safe and effective factors for eradicating of stores pests has attracted much attention. In this paper, the bio-effects of fumigation and repellent effects of essential oil of Eucalyptus globolus were investigated on red flour beetle. Experimental: In this study, the toxicity, fumigation and repellency contacts were assayed by topical ap...

HIGHLIGHTS Eucalyptus cinerea essential oil (EO) contains 1,8-cineole as the main component. This EO demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. reduced viability of Jurkat Calu-3 cells decreased DNA content. had cell death mechanism related to apoptosis.

Biopolymer-based films were developed using a mixture of pullulan and agar, the fabricated film was functionalized with bioactive functional components, Pickering emulsion eucalyptus essential oil (PEU), rutin. The color PEU rutin supplemented light yellow. As result, yellowness index increased while whiteness reduced. filler showed biocompatibility pullulan/agar polymer matrix. presence materi...
