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 aerial parts of Satureja spicigera were collected at full flowering stage at Gazvin, Iran. The essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a combination of capillary GC and GC-MS. Fourteen compounds were identified, of which carvacrol (53.74%) and thymol (36.03%) were the main constituents, representing 99.12% of the total oil. The in vitro antibacterial activity of the ...

OBJECTIVE Regarding the anticonvulsant effects of Satureja hortensis (S . hortensis) in Avicenna's book: canon of medicine; the present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti- eplileptic effects of S . hortensis aqueous and ethanolic aerial part extracts. Furthermore, the mechanisms of their anticonvulsant activities were also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seizure was induced by Pentyle...

A detailed evaluation of eight bacterial isolates from floral nectar and animal visitors to flowers shows evidence that they represent three novel species in the genus Acinetobacter . Phylogenomic analysis closest relatives these new are apis , boissieri nectaris previously described associated with bees, but high genome-wide sequence divergence defines as species. Pairwise comparisons average ...

From the ethyl acetate and methanol extract of the aerial parts of Satureja atropatana Bonge, which belongs to the Lamiaceae family, four flavonoids were isolated. Their structures were determined to be 5,6,3'-trihydroxy-7,8,4'-trimethoxyflavone (1), 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone or 5-desmethoxynobiletin (2), 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,8,3'-trimethoxyflavone or thymonin (3) and luteolin ...

Drying allows water to be removed and food preserved, however, this operation can degrade color. Punamuña leaves are aromatic used for medicinal purposes in the Peruvian Andes. This research aimed determine model drying kinetics, diffusivity coefficient (Def), activation energy (Ea), color of punamuña leaves. A horizontal dryer was at 40, 50, 60 °C airspeed 1.0 0.5 m / s; kinetics modeled with ...
