a valuable composition of mentha piperita l. essential oil is menthol that is widely used fordifferent industries. the plants were treated with different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (meja) and after 24 h were evaluated for total soluble proteins, chlorophylls (a, b, and total), malondialdehyde, carbohydrates and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and guaiacol peroxidase). variance...

background: mentha piperita l. essential oils have different antibacterial activity. in the present study, we investigated the effect of γ–irradiation on the antibacterial activities of mentha piperita l. essential oils in vitro and in vivo systems. materials and methods: the aerial parts of peppermint were irradiated in a cobalt60 source with 0, 10 and 25 kgy absorbed doses. then, the plants w...

The ability to capture prey and avoid predation in aquatic habitats depends strongly on the ability to perform unsteady maneuvers (e.g. turns), which itself depends strongly on body flexibility. Two previous studies of turning performance in rigid-bodied taxa have found either high maneuverability or high agility, but not both. However, examinations of aquatic turning performance in rigid-bodie...

Four essential oils [Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum L, Fam: Lamiaceae), Geranium, (Pelargonium graveolens, Geraniaceae), Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus, Poaceae) and Peppermint (Mentha piperita L. Lamiaceae)] were selected to be converted into oil nanoemulsions (EONE). The four analyzed in their natural (EO) nano form (EONE) using GC-MS, the results showed a significant increase percentage of m...
