the lamiaceae family consists of a broad spectrum of medicinal plants involving marrubium l. genus. regarding the diverse pharmaceutical uses of the plants belonging to this genus, they can be considered as proper alternatives for chemical drugs having harmful effects. the present work aims to identify and characterize chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles from the aerial pa...

Durio zibethinus L. (durian) belongs to the Malvaceae family. It is known as “King of Tropical Fruit” because its unique characteristics. The edible part durian, however, only about 33% fruit while non-edible parts such seed and peels (rinds) are considered waste responsible for environmental pollution. Thus, present study was carried out compare percentage yields volatile components from metha...

The orange tree (Citrus sinensis) is a species of fruit shrubs the Rutaceae family. Essential oils from citrus peels are widely used in various agro-food and pharmaceutical preparations hence they must be recovered using green extraction methods. In this study, we compare efficiency five techniques (conventional hydro-distillation (HD), Salt-assisted by HD (S-HD), Ultrasound-assisted (US-HD), E...

'Mato Peiyu' pomelo (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck 'Mato Peiyu') leaves from pruning are currently an agricultural waste. The aim of this study was to isolate essential oils from these leaves through steam distillation (SD) and solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) and to evaluate their applicability to skin care by analyzing their antimicrobial, antioxidant (diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavengin...

C. grows in tropical Asia various countries such Indonesia, Philippines, China, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar. has four bioactive components, namely asiatic acid, asiaticoside, madecassic madecassoside. Microwave-Assiste...


 Purpose: To investigate the effect of different soil textures on chemical composition and antioxidant properties essential oils from Solanum nigrum.
 Methods: Four soils differing texture were formulated under fallow to cultivate S. nigrum in a glasshouse. Essential Oil was extracted fresh shoots by solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) analysed using gas chromatography-mass spec...
