In an extensive search for bioactive compounds from plant sources, the composition of different extracts of rosemary leaves collected from different geographical zones of Serbia was studied. The qualitative and quantitative characterization of 20 rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) samples, obtained by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), was determined by high performance liquid chromatography c...

Rosmarinus officinalis Albus is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves and white flowers grown in many parts of the world. It is widely used in the treatment of genitourinary conditions, liver diseases and scalp treatment. The present study was performed to highlight the micro-anatomical, physiochemical and phytochemical aspects of the plant. The thin transverse se...

The aim of this study was to investigate the main volatiles and polyphenolic compounds in hydrosols extracted from three Romanian Lamiaceae plants, sage (Salvia officinalis), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) by steam distillation. antioxidant acetylcholinesterase inhibition capacity were assessed for their further use as biopesticides. results have shown that ...

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...

The present study describes a procedure to isolate essential oils from Rosmarinus officinalis L. using simultaneous distillation–extraction (SDE). can be used for medicinal purposes, as well in the cooking and cosmetics industries. SDE technique extraction combines steam distillation combined with continuous solvent or co-solvent mixture, providing faster extractions low volumes. effect of natu...
