Satureja genus presents 12 aromatic species in Iran, eight of which are endemic. Because of the several usages of Satureja species or their oils in different industries, we were interested to study the oil content and composition of Iranian Satureja species. In this research, the essential oil content and composition of two endemic species (S. edmondi and S. isophylla) were investigated. Essent...

The present study was carried out to determine the potential antibacterial effect of essential oil of Origanumvulgare against antibiotic resistant E.coli. In this study, the essential oil of Origanumvulgare obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in order to determine their chemical composition. The minimum inhibitory concentrations ...

objective(s):various species of genus trigonella are important from medical and culinary points of view. the essential oil of trigonella torbatejamensis ranjbar as an endemic plant in iran has not been studied previously. the essential oil of this plant was analyzed by different methods for identification of its components. materials and methods: the essential oil composition of aerial parts of...

background: the genus lagochilus, family lamiaceae consists of 44 species, 33 of which grow in central asia. only one report on the analysis of essential oil of lagochilus species has been published. objective: aim of this study is to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of the hydrodistilled oil of flower and leaves of lagochilus kotschyanus boiss. of iranian origin ...

volatile components of three parts of pimpinella tragium vill. (umbelliferae family) from iran were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively for the first time. essential oils were isolated by hydro-distillation from stems plus leaves, inflorescence and seeds of p. tragium individually. the plant materials were collected from polour (northeast of tehran province). the yields of the stems p...

      The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Laurus nobilis L. has been examined by gas chromatography (GC) and GC- mass spectrometery (MS). The main components of the oil were identified. 1,8-Cineole was the major component in the oil together with b-terpinyl acetate, terpinene-4-ol, a-pinene, b-pinene, p-cymene, linalool and ...

Tanacetum santolinoides, Essential Oil Composition, n-Hexane-Ether Extract Composition The essential oil of the aerial parts of Tanacetum santolinoides was analyzed by capillary GLC and GLC-MS. Altogether 30 components were identified. The main constituents were thymol (18%), trans-thujone (17.5%), trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (13.2%), cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (9.2%), umbellulone (9.7%) and 1,8...

The present paper examines the chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of free volatile aglycones from basil compared to their essential oil. The comparison of chemical composition of volatile aglycones with the chemical composition of essential oil reveals four common compounds: eugenol, chavicol, linalool and a-terpineol. For the evaluation of the mentioned antioxidant capacities, two d...

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...
