This paper deals with the application of steam to enhance the recovery from petroleum reservoirs. We formulate a mathematical and numerical model that simulates coinjection of volatile oil with steam into a porous rock in a one-dimensional setting. We utilize the mathematical theory of conservation laws to validate the numerical simulations. This combined numerical and analytical approach revea...

Volatile oil of Psidium guajava leaves obtained by steam distillation was given orally to study its effects on the exudation and proliferative phases of the inflammatory reaction, using technique of carragenin induced paw edema and cotton pellets in male albino rats. The anti inflammatory activity as compared with ketorolac tromethamine. In carragenin induced edemas,. 0.8ml/kg of the volatile o...

The chemical composition of the extracted fixed oil (total fatty acid composition) and volatile oil of Nigella sativa L. seeds grown in Iran were determined by GC and GC/MS. Eight fatty acids (99.5%) and thirty-two compounds (86.7%) have been identified in the fixed and volatile oils, respectively. The main fatty acids of the fixed oil were linoleic acid (55.6%), oleic acid (23.4%), and palmiti...

Morphological, chemical and genetic differences of 12 tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum L.) accessions were studied to determine whether volatile oils and flavonoids can be used as taxonomical markers and to examine the relationship between RAPDs to these chemical markers. Eugenol, thymol, and geraniol were the major volatile oil constituents found in Ocimum gratissimum. Xantomicrol and cirsimarit...

In Present study the antinociceptive and the gastroprotective effects of orally administered or inhaled Thevetia peruviana Pers. K. (Schum) (Oleander) volatile oil, and its principal constituents linalool and 1,8-cineole were evaluated in mice. Either when orally administered (100μl/kg) or inhaled for 60 min Thevetia peruviana volatile oil significantly reduced the acetic acid-writhing response...

The object of this study is the flowers of Kazakhstan species of “AkMai” safflower, collected in the flowering stage in Southern Kazakhstan. Volatile oil was carry out to study the component composition of Kazakhstan “AkMai” safflower flowers. The composition of the volatile oil obtained from the dried flowers of Carthamus tinctorius L. growing in Kazakhstan. Pale yellow oily extracts were obta...

Szechuan peppers, famous for their unique sensation and flavor, are widely used as a food additive and traditional herbal medicine. Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Z. armatum are both commonly recognized as Szechuan peppers, but they have different tastes and effects. The chemical components, genetic characteristics, and suitable habitat of six cultivars were analyzed in this study. The results indic...

The volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the petals of Rosa damascena Mill. (Rosaceae) was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The yield of the oil was 0.12 % (v/w). Fifty compounds representing 99.06 % of the oil were characterized. The volatile oil was found rich in sesquiterpenes and aliphatic components, consisting of two monoterpenic es...

Members of the genus Schinus mainly S. terebinthifolius (Brazilian pepper tree) and S. molle (Peruvian pepper tree) have long been recognized as a consolidate sources of functional ingredients namely essential oils and phenols. Despite the substantial data on the volatile oil constituents of their fruits, the leaf volatile fraction has not received much interest. Consequently, the aim of the pr...
