introduction many herbal products (herbs and essential oils) are currently used as feed additives by the feed industry in the european :union: and elsewhere. these phytogenic substances which increase feed aroma or palatability of feeds are classified as sensory additives by european council. however, several publications show that some essential oils may have beneficial effects on animal perfo...

A fast field-deployable method utilizing Raman spectroscopy to determine the optimal harvest time of plants extract highest abundance target metabolites is presented. Rosmarinic acid a metabolite extracted from spearmint (Mentha spicata L.). Leaves commercial “Native” and proprietary clonal line “KI110” were measured as function cell type age rosmarinic abundance. linear regression model with l...

Mentha spicata L., commonly known as spearmint, is widely used in both fresh and dry forms, for infusion preparation or in European and Indian cuisines. Recently, with the evolution of the tea market, several novel products with added value are emerging, and the standard lots have evolved to reserve lots, with special harvest requirements that confer them with enhanced organoleptic and sensoria...

In the present study effort have been made to find the anti-bacteria effect of six medicinal plant essential oil namely, Ocimum bascilicum (Basil oil), mentha arvensis (Cormint oil),Zingiber officinale(ginger oil),citrus limon(lemon oil), thymus mastichina (Marjoram oil) and mentha spicata (Spearmint oil) were assessed for anti bacterial activity against therefore pathogenic bacteria such as B....

this study was conducted to evaluate the hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant properties of mentha spicata (labiateae) leaves aqueous extract (msla) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. in this study, hyperglycemia was induced in male rats by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg). the aqueous extract of m. spicata was orally administered at a dose of 300 mg/kg b...

Sessile organisms often exhibit morphological changes in response to permanent exposure to mechanical stimulation (wind or water movements). The adaptive value of these morphological changes (hydrodynamic performance and consequences on fitness) has not been studied extensively, particularly for higher plants submitted to flow stress. The aim was to determine the adaptive value of morphological...
