Cultivation of mint timija (Mentha suaveolens subsp. timija (Briq.) Harley) constitutes a promising solution to the conservation and sustainable utilization of this Moroccan endemic and threatened species. Optimized agronomic practices require mineral and/or biological fertilizer applications. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of application of a complete (N, P, and K) mineral ...

Introduction: Zhumeria majdae is an herbal plant which is only found in Hormozgan province. The aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial property and toxicity of essential oil (EO) and encapsulated form of the essential oil (EFEO) of Zhumeria majdae. Materials and methods: First, the plant was dried, grinded, and its EO extracted by hydrodistallation. Then, the EO was encapsulated by...

Essential oils (EOs) are acclaimed for their antimicrobial properties, leading to multiple applications in various fields. In this work, four aromatic plants were used, namely thyme (Thymus mastichina L.), everlasting (Helychrysum stoechas Moench), European pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.). Hydrodistillation was the extraction method obtained extracts compos...

Hydrosols are hydrodistillation products of aromatic plants. They contain less than 1g/L of dispersed essential oils giving organoleptic properties. Hydrosols are subjected to microbial proliferation. Reasons for spoilage have to be found in the nature of substrates supporting growth and of microbiological contaminants. The composition in essential oils and the microbiota of 22 hydrosol samples...

grape, like other horticultural products due to high humidity, low relative ph and wealth of nutrients, is subjected to attack by pathogenic fungi during the harvest and storage stages. in this study, at first, the some post-harvest pathogenic fungi of grape were isolated in meshgin-shahr and two fungal species including botrytis cinerea and cladosporium cladosporioides were identified as the d...

This study evaluated the toxicity and repellent activities of essential oils (EOs) against Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758), both in vitro vivo conditions. The EOs obtained from Thymus pallescens No??. (Lamiaceae) Cymbopogon citratus Stapf. (Poaceae) were analyzed by GC-MS, revealed that carvacrol (56.64%) geraniol (20.8%) as respective major components. T. EO was found to be a more effect...

background: the leishmanicidal and cytotoxic activity of ten essential oils obtained from ten plant specimens were evaluated. methods: essential oils were obtained by the steam distillation of plant leaves without any prior processing. cytotoxicity was tested on j774 macrophages and leishmanicidal activity was assessed against four species of leishmania associated with cutaneous leishmaniasis ....

BACKGROUND Cupressus macrocarpa Hartw and Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) K.D. Hill & L.A.S. Johnson, widely grown in many subtropical areas, are used for commercial purposes, such as in perfumery, cosmetics, and room fresheners. Their potential as a source of antimicrobial compounds may be useful in different applications. METHODS The chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) from C. macrocar...

Amongst the fungi that cause damage to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and are disseminated by seeds, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum stands out. This fungus causes anthracnose in plants. The use of natural compounds, for example essential oils (EO), is a viable safer option than chemicals manage this disease. According results vitro assay, we observed complete inhibition growth C. with Cinnamom...

A number of Angelica species have been used in traditional systems of medicine to treat many ailments. Especially, essential oils (EOs) from the Angelica species have been used for the treatment of various health problems, including malaria, gynecological diseases, fever, anemia, and arthritis. EOs are complex mixtures of low molecular weight compounds, especially terpenoids and their oxygenate...
