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...

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the major causes of infections in developing countries. In this study, chemical composition and anti-listerial effect of the essential oil of Zataria multiflora Boiss. alone and in combination with monolaurin were evaluated at different pH values (5, 6, and 7) and temperatures (5 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Chemical composition of Zataria multiflora Boiss. essential oil was ...

essential oil extracted from the leaves of myrtle, myrtus communis l. (myrtaceae)was tested in vitro for volatile toxicity against two stored-product insects (tribolium confusum and callosobruchus maculatus). the chemical composition of the plant oil was examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). the major oil components were α-pinene (10.4%), α- terpineol (10.1%), linalool (9.0%...

Background:Tanacetum vulgare L. (Asteraceae) is a perennial herb that has been used to treat multiple ailments. Regional variability of the chemical composition of T. vulgare essential oils is well-known. Despite these regional chemotypes, most relevant studies did not analyze the complete chemical composition of the T. vulgare essential oil and its constituents in relation to their biological ...

Background & Aim: Kelussiaodoratissima Mozaff is a valuable plant of Apiaceae family that is used as medicinal and aromatic herb. According to the importance of drying treatment on quality and quantity of essential oil, the effect of different drying methods on essential oil yield and chemical composition of Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff was examined in this research. ...

The focus of the present study was to investigate the chemical composition of essential oil of Salvia hydrangea DC. ex Benth. growing wild in Kiasar-Hezarjrib, Iran. In addition, effects of altitude and some soil properties on the essential oil quality and quantity of S. hydrangea was identified. The samples collected from two altitudes (1100 and 2000 m) in blossoming period, were analyzed by h...

abstractbackground and objectives: satureja khuzestanica is valuable and endemic medicinal specie that growing widely in southwest parts of iran. this specie is rich of phenolic compound carvacrol, therefore have considerable biological activities. satureja khuzestanica is a new medicinal plant in iran, and little research has been done on. thus, the present study with the aim of evaluating the...

Two species belonging to the genus Salvia (Salvia brachyodon Vandas and Salvia officinalis L.) from Dalmatian region were studied for their essential oil composition, genome size and base composition. These species showed the same chromosome number (2n 1⁄4 14), similar genome size (0.95 and 0.97 pg/2C) and base composition (38.52 and 38.55 GC%), respectively. This is the first estimation of DNA...
