the chemical composition of the essential oil of fruits of pimpinella haussknechtiiboiss.was studied by gc-ms. after gc-ms analysis, one unknown component (56.7%) was observed, which was not characterized in the gc-ms library. the essential oil of p.hauskenekhtii was injected to hplc using ymc-pak-sil column (250 × 20 mm) with gradient system of hexane (a), and hexane: ethyl acetate, 9:1 (b) to...

chemical composition of the essential oils extracted from the leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of  heracleum rechingeri manden. were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. twenty-four components were characterized for the leaf oil with octyl acetate(47.2%), octanol(15.2%) and e-caryophyllen (5.7%) as the main constituents. 25 compounds were identified in the stem oil with elemicin (65.3%), octyl acetate (13...

this research was carried out to assess the effect of drought stress on head branch dry weight, photosynthesis, essential oil yield and radical scavenging of rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) in islamic azad university, shoushtar branch, iran during 2010-2011.the experiments were carried out using complete randomized block design with four replications and drought stress levels included cont...

Background & Aim: Salvia hydrangea is one of the medicinal plants belonging to Lamiaceae family. Medicinal plants can be marketed as fresh or dried products; however aromatic plants are often dried before extraction to reduce moisture content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different drying methods on qualitative and quantitative changes in essenti...

The present work was designed to study the antioxidant activity and to identify the main active components of the essential oil of ajowan (Trachyspermum copticum) fruit. GC and GC-MS analyses of the essential oil showed the presence of eight compounds. The main constituents of the oil were thymol (43.7%), p-cymene (26.8%), and γ-terpinene (24.9%). The antioxidant and free radical scavenging act...

thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) is perennial aromatic shrub belonging to the mint family which has anti-spasmodic, antiseptic, carminative, anti-cough, sputum and antioxidant properties. in order to study the effects of drought stress and bio-fertilizer on plant growth, essential oil yield and constituents of thyme plant, an experiment was conducted in a split plot based on randomized complete block...

This study was aimed at investigating the antimelanogenic and antioxidative properties of the essential oil extracted from leaves of V. negundo Linn and the analysis of the chemical composition of this essential oil. The efficacy of the essential oil was evaluated spectrophotometrically, whereas the volatile chemical compounds in the essential oil were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectr...

Purpose: To investigate the insecticidal activity of the essential oil of Cinnamomum cassis and its main constituent compound, trans-cinnamaldehyde, against the booklice, Liposcelis bostrychophila. Methods: Steam distillation of C. cassis twigs was carried out using a Clavenger apparatus in order to obtain the volatile oils. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) analyses (HP-5MS column)...
