in this research, microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (md) with pretreatment ultrasound (us) 45 and 90 min of essential oils from fresh aegle marmelos peel were used and the results were compared with those obtained by hydrodistillation technique (hd) in terms of extraction yield/efficiency, extraction time, chemical composition and quality of the essential oil. all experiments were performed ...

growth inhibition of aspergillus fumigatus,aspergillus flavus and fusarum solani exposed to the essential oils including thyme, agastache and satureja were studied. disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the fungal growth inhibitory effects of the essential oils. minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) and minimal fungicidal concentration (mfc) of the oils were determined and compared with e...

The compostion of the oils from flower and leaf of Achillea mellifolium L. subsp. mellifolium were collected during the flowering priod from Lar area to Damavand montain, altitude 3400 m in July 2003. The essential oils obtained by different methods of distillation (steam distillation and hydro-distillation), the percentage of oils for flower and leaf by steam distillation were 0.2 and 0.05% an...

Family Cupressaceae is the largest coniferous plant family. Essential oils of many species belonging to family Cupressaceae are known to have several biological activities specially antimicrobial activity. The essential oils from aerial parts of Calocedrus decurrens Torr., Cupressus sempervirens stricta L. and Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Mast. were prepared by hydrodistillation. The chemical ...

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from the leaves and bracts of hydroponically cultivated Origanum dictamnus were analyzed by GC-MS techniques. Three different concentrations of phosphorus (5, 30, and 60 mg/L) in the nutrient solution were used for the cultivation, using the nutrient film technique (NFT). A total of 46 different compounds were identified and significant di...

nowadays, many antibiotics are being used to control infectious diseases. inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to emergence of resistant bacteria and problems such as a prolonged course of treatment. medicinal plants and their derivatives, as a good source of treatment, are effective against drug resistance. in this study we have evaluated the antimicrobial activity of herbal essential oils o...

Unfavorable anthropogenic factors, such as air pollution, lead to biochemical responses in trees. Changes in the amounts of secondary metabolites may be early indicators of invisible injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate composition of the essential oils in the needles of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing in the areas affected by pollutant emissions of main factories in Lithuan...

to study the effect of drought stress during using organic and chemical fertilizers on morphological, agronomic traits and the essential oil of coriander, a field experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design in three replications at agricultural research station, college of agriculture, university of torbat heydarieh, iran during growing season of 2010-2011. ...
