4 different plant species belonging to the same family mint (Mentha piperita), sage (Salvia officinalis), rosemary (Rosmarinus lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) were harvested from Afyon region. Total antioxidant and phenolic contents analyzed by DPPH Folin-Ciocalteu method. The effect of extra virgin olive oils oxidation stability was tested means rancimat According analysis results, M. piperi...

This study was conducted to determine the response of Salvia tomentosa Mill. and officinalis L. different salinity levels. The salvia plants were grown in 8 L pots filled with continuously aerated nutrient solution under salt levels 1 (control), 2, 3, 4, 5 6 dS m-1 fully automated climate chambers. fresh dry weight shoot root, stem length, leaf area, SPAD, CO2 fixation, root diameter, volume, N...

The therapeutic benefits of medicinal plants are well known. Nevertheless, essential oils have been the main focus of antioxidant and antimicrobial studies, remaining scarce the reports with hydrophilic extracts. Thus, the antioxidant and antifungal activities of aqueous (prepared by infusion and decoction) and methanol/water (80:20, v/v) extracts of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) were evaluated ...

The methanolic extracts, infusions, decoctions and hydrosols of six plants were investigated for their total phenolic contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities: Mentha piperita (Peppermint), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Melissa officinalis (lemon balm), Ocimum basilicum (basil), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and Salvia officinalis (sage) (Lamiaceae). Total phenolic contents were determ...

Ten phenolic compounds were isolated from a butanol fraction of sage extracts. Their structures were determined by spectral methods (NMR, MS, IR). Among them, a novel compound, 4-hydroxyacetophenone-4-O-â-D-apiofuranosyl-(1f6)-O-â-D-glucopyranoside, was identified. Two test systems, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and radical cation ABTS•+ scavenging activity, were used to evaluate their ...

Medicinal and aromatic plants are well appreciated for their antioxidant biocidal activities, while great variation on these activities can be related to the species, environmental conditions harvesting period. In present study, seasonal of activity, mineral content, yield chemical composition essential oils (EOs) sage (Salvia officinalis L.), sideritis (Sideritis perfoliata L. subsp. perfoliat...
