The aim of this study was to determine the insecticide potential essential oils (EOs) thyme (Thymus vulgaris; Lamiaceae) and ginger (Zingiber officinale; Zingiberaceae) control cotton leaf worm (Spodoptera littoralis; Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) under laboratory conditions. Generally, there a positive correlation between magnitude above toxic effects concentrations all EOs. Ginger oil (GEO) showed ...

The protection of 316L stainless steel in 3% NaCl by the essential oil Thymus satureoides has been studied many techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXS). results show that corrosion rate decreases increase concentration inhibitor up...

An electrochemical sensor based on carbon paste modified with polyethyleneimine was developed and employed for the determination of caffeic acid in aromatic herbs. The prepared by mixing polyethylenimine (1.5% v/v), graphite powder, mineral oil. polyethylenimine-based electrode showed an enhancement charge transfer at electrode–solution interface a higher current intensity reaction acid, compar...

Endosulfan, a chlorinated cyclodiene insecticide, was administered orally at 1.5, 3, 6, and 9 mg/kg per day to normal hemicastrated virgin mice for 15 consecutive days to examine the effect on ovarian function. Sham-operated and hemicastrated control mice were administered a similar volume of olive oil. The vaginal smear and body weight of the mice were recorded daily and mice were sacrificed o...

The study was conducted to determine whether dietary supplemental plant extracts could have the potential as alternative growth promoters to antibiotics. One hundred and five, 1-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used in the experiment. The animals were allocated into seven dietary treatments groups in a complete randomized design. The groups were as follow: 1. Control (basal diet), 2....

The antimicrobial activity of essential oils of oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, lemongrass, ginger, and clove was investigated in vitro by agar dilution method and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes) and Gram-negative strains (Escherichia coli and Salmonella Enteritidis). MIC(90%) values were tested again...

the genus thymus is perennial medicinal plants belong to the lamiaceae familythat is used for different propose in pharmaceutical industry. environmental stresses,particularly salinity, are considered as the major factor reducing plant growth. the purpose ofthis study was to investigate the effects of salt stress on germination characteristics andseedling morphology in two medicinal species of ...

We developed wine formulations containing plant essential oils and oil compounds effective against foodborne pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica. HPLC was used to determine maximum solubility of antimicrobials in wines as well as amounts of antimicrobials extracted by wines from commercial oregano and thyme leaves. Activity of essential oils (cinnamon, lemongras...
