The composition of the essential oil hydrodistilled from the aerial parts of 18 individual Artemisia herba-alba Asso. plants collected in southern Tunisia was determined by GC and GCMS analysis. The oil yield varied between 0.68% v/w and 1.93% v/w. One hundred components were identified, 21 of of which are reported for the first time in Artemisia herba-alba oil. The oil contained 10 components ...

Satureja genus presents 12 aromatic species in Iran, eight of which are endemic. Because of the several usages of Satureja species or their oils in different industries, we were interested to study the oil content and composition of Iranian Satureja species. In this research, the essential oil content and composition of two endemic species (S. edmondi and S. isophylla) were investigated. Essent...

The essential oil from the aerial parts of Salvia sclarea L., growing wild in Tajikistan, were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. A total of 59 compounds were identified representing 94.2% of total oil composition. Major components of the essential oil were linalyl acetate (39.2%), linalool (12.5%), germacrene D (11.4%), α-terpineol (5.5%), ger...

The essential oil composition of the aerial parts of Nepeta raphanorhiza is reported for the first time. Capillary GC-FID & GC-MS analysis of the essential oil led to the identification of 16 components accounting for 97.5% of the total oil. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons dominated the oil composition accounting for 65.3 % followed by monoterpene hydrocarbons constituting 19.5 % of the total oil co...

The objective of this study is to assess the ability of some major components of essential oils (EOs) to destroy Eimeria oocysts in vitro and to find out how the mechanism of action involved in this oocysticidal effect works. The methodology used was as follows: A screening of the oocysticidal activity of eight EO components was carried out in a liquid medium. The release of substances absorbin...

in the present study the volatile organic compounds of e. azerbaijanica rech.f. were identified. phytochemical assessment of meoh extract of aerial parts of this plant was also performed and its free radical scavenging properties was evaluated. the essential oil of the air-dried aerial parts was obtained by hydro-distillation using a clevenger type apparatus. the oil was then analyzed by gas ch...
