The essential oil from the leaves of Murraya alata Drake was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 70 components were identified, accounting for 93.7% of the oil composition. The major compound is -cadinol (18.9%), followed by -muurolol (10.0%), trans-prenyl limonene (7.7%), germacra-4(15),5,10(14)-trien-1--ol (6.0%), and cedryl acetate (5.4%). M. alata oil was cha...

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of roots, stems with leaves and inflorescences of Valeriana italica Lam. and Valeriana tuberosa L. were studied by GC/MS. Seventy-three and forty-one constituents were identified from each plant, respectively. The major constituent of the oil obtained from the roots of V. italica was isolated and identified as 15-aceto...

The wood protective action of citrus wax, a waste from the citrus industry that is a mixture of citrus fruit epicuticular waxes and essential oils, was evaluated against the termite Cryptotermes brevis Walker (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae). The antifeedant index (AI) of the total wax and fractions was calculated. The total citrus wax exhibited an AI₅₀ value of 24.69 mg/cm³, the wax after hydrodisti...

This study investigated the chemical composition and in-vitro cytotoxic activities of the essential oil isolated from the leaf of Beilschmiedia erythrophloia. The essential oil was isolated using hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS. Fifty-five compounds were identified, representing 100% of the oil. The main components identified were beta-cary...

GC-MS analysis identified forty seven and fourteen components in oils extracted using HD and in the volatile fractions extracted using HSE, respectively. eudesm-7(11) en-4-ol (28.46%), α-terpinyl acetate (12%), germacrene D-4-ol(7.3%), 1,8-cineole (6.22%), δ-cadinene (6.49%), bicyclogermacrene (5.20%) and α-cadinol (5.06%) were recorded as the main components of the essential oil and The major ...

The genus Haplophyllum, which belongs to the Rutaceae family, includes 18 species in Iran. In this study, after collecting plant material, botanical identification and suitable drying, the essential oils from aerial parts of Haplophyllum robustum Bge. were extracted by three different isolation techniques, conventional hydrodistillation (HD), microwave-assisted hydrodistillati...

The essential oil composition from the leaves of Strychnos axillaris Colebr. (Loganiaceae) growing in Malaysia was examined for first time. obtained by hydrodistillation and fully characterized gas chromatography (GC-FID) chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 15 components were identified oil, which made up 87.2% total oil. is composed mainly ?-ionone (20.2%), ?-ionone (19.5%), bi...
