Mints emit diverse scents that exert specific biological functions and are relevance for applications. The current work strives to develop electronic noses can electronically discriminate the emitted by different species of Mint as alternative conventional profiling gas chromatography. Here, 12 sensing materials including 4 metal oxide nanoparticle dispersions (AZO, ZnO, SnO2, ITO), one Metal O...

In the present investigation an attempt has been made to enhance rosmarinic acid level in plants, grown in vitro, of 2 species of Mentha in presence of 2 precursors in the nutrient media during culture. For in vitro culture establishment and shoot bud multiplication, MS basal media were used supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of different growth regulator like NAA (alph...

Background: Fungi growing on wood cause deterioration of stored food materials or discoloration the itself, and search for new safe bioagents is recently needed. Methods: Essential oils (EOs) from aerial parts Mentha longifolia L. Citrus reticulata L., analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), were tested their antifungal activity vapor method against four common fungi, Aspergil...

Objective: Mentha longifolia L. Hudson has been used in folk medicine for various purposes especially for its anti-inflammatory effects. Lymphocytes play a central role in development of inflammation. In the present study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of different extracts of M. longifolia on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), as main players in development of inflammati...
