Nowadays, consumers are demanding more natural foods, obliging the industry to include natural antioxidants in foods. Natural antioxidants have been used instead of synthetic antioxidants to retard lipid oxidation in foods to improve their quality and nutritional value. This review discusses some aspects of recent research on antioxidant activity of plant extracts and natural compounds to impro...

indian meal moth, plodia interpunctella hubner is one of the most important stored-product insects that are controlled by fumigants. however, the use of plant essential oils and their constituents may have the advantage over conventional fumigants in terms of low mammalian toxicity and can be used as alternatives to conventional fumigants. therefore, in this research, repellent activity of 18 p...

Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of some Rosmarinus officinalis L. (rosemary) extracts was investigated by an “in batch” analytical method based on chemiluminescence (CL). This method is based on a CL reaction between luminol and hydroxyl radicals generated by the hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Co(II) ions complexed with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) disodium salt, according to...

In the present study, viscozyme L pre-treatment for aerial parts of Rosmarinus officinalis L. (rosemary), grown in Lam Dong province, was performed to evaluate effective extraction essential oils by hydro-distillation. Enzymatic with 1 g enzyme mixed 5 mL sodium chloride 15% at 50oC hour, followed hydro-distillation, seen slightly increase yield rosemary from 0.96% 1.08%. GC/MS analysis showed ...

the synthesis of nanoparticles from biological processes is evolving a new era of research interests in nanotechnology. the aim of this study was to determined antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles produced by rosmarinus officinalis l leaf extract against some human pathogenic bacteria. the formation and characterisation of agnps were confirmed by uv-vis spectroscopy, energy-dispersive...

rosmarinus officinalis is one of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants around the world. essential oil as a weapon against biotic and abiotic stresses plays an important role in essential oil bearing plants. in this study the essential oil content and constituent of plants containing bacterium-gall on the shoots and crown was compared with non-contaminated plants. essential oil perce...
