This paper presents an evaluation of the Spearmint approach to software process modelling. In this evaluation, claims made about Spearmint are evaluated against our experience with using Spearmint in two process modelling projects. The evaluation identifies strengths and weaknesses of the approach and possible areas for improvement. While the results of the evaluation are specific to Spearmint,...

This paper presents the results of research on effect essential oils and ethanol extracts growth mold fungi Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood. The analysis fungal microbial medium showed that degree inhibition microorganism depends amount extract added to medium. At same time, it was found highest dose extract, amounting 5.0 cm3, almost completely inhibited fungi. In addition, mint extracts...

Abstract Mentha spicata L. (Lamiaceae), commonly called spearmint, is cultivated worldwide for its remarkable aroma and commercial value. Antimicrobial effectiveness of essential oils against many foodborne microorganisms when applied directly has been extensively demonstrated. The antimicrobial potential oil in the vapor phase different ( Salmonella enterica subsp. CCM 3807, Yersinia enterocol...

The present study investigated the potential of fresh peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.) and spearmint (Menthaspicata production on a floating raft system combined with commercial protein hydrolysate supplement (Amino16®) in nutrient solution aiming to improve plant product quality. Three levels (0, 0.25 0.50%) were added solution, plants harvested after twenty-four days. Plant growth characteri...

Purpose: This study evaluated the biological activity of five types mints (Peppermint, Spearmint, Chocomint, Applemint, Pineapplemint).Methods: Five were extracted with an ethanol solvent to compare total polyphenol and flavonoid content, scavenging activities DPPH ABTS radical, SOD-like activity, inhibitory effects elastase, tyrosinase, α-glucosidase.Results: All mint extracts confirmed be eff...

Extraction of essential oil from spearmint leaves is typically hindered by the presence cell wall composed lignocellulose which can be biologically degraded microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate effects fermentation using Aspergillus awamori towards lignocellulosic content (Mentha spicata L.) leaf as well yield and composition, diffusion coefficient obtained different extraction metho...

The preparation of flavored vegetable oils using spice and herb plants is considered to be an indispensable opportunity for the application these plants. In present exploration, sunflower oil (SFO) samples by Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) were prepared maceration method (MM) ultrasound-assisted (UM). antioxidant effects, sensory evaluation oxidative stability during accelerated storage; physico...

OBJECTIVE In this study we investigated the effects of spearmint (Mentha spicata Labiatae) on the reproductive system, fertility and number of offspring in adult male rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult Wistar male rats in one control (C) and three experimental groups (I, II and III) received 0, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg spearmint extract orally for 45 days, respectively. Following this treatment, th...
