background: moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori. is a small tree, which grows in south east of iran. the shoot and root of m. peregrina contain volatile oil which has several isothiocyanates. objective: to study the effect of salinity on volatile constituents of root and shoot of m. peregrina. methods: the experiment was conducted on randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) with 8 treatments and ...

The chemical composition of mentha essential oil and mentha extracts obtained at different pressures/temperatures by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) were studied by GC–MS. The menthol content was also determined spectrophotometrically. The predominant compounds in the essential oil and in the CO2 extract obtained at 100 bar were L-menthon and menthole but at higher pressures (from 150 to 4...

The peel volatile constituents and juice quality parameters of four tangerine cultivars were investigated in this study. Peel flavor constituents were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Total soluble solids, total acids, pH value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from tangerine cultivars. F...

Volatile constituents of various solvent extracts (n-hexane, CH2Cl2, H2O) of 15 different organs (leaves, flowers, fruits) of five Rhododendron species (Ericaceae) growing in Turkey were trapped with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) technique and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 200 compounds were detected and identified from organic extracts, while the water extracts contained only...

Background: Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori. is a small tree, which grows in south east of Iran. The shoot and root of M. peregrina contain volatile oil which has several isothiocyanates. Objective: To study the effect of salinity on volatile constituents of root and shoot of M. peregrina. Methods: The experiment was conducted on randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with 8 treatments...

The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Carum montanum (Coss. et Dur.) Benth. et Hook. were analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS, and the main component was isolated and identified as nothoapiole. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of this compound and of the total oil were investigated against Gram-negative (P. aeruginosa, E. coli), Gram-positive (E. faecalis, S. aureus, S. epidermit...

Background: Hydatidosis is a common disease of both humans and animals, resulting from infection with the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm. The aim of this study was to investigate the antiparasitic (protoscolicidal) activities of three essential oils in vitro. Methods: This study was designed to evaluate the biochemical composition and in vitro antiparasitic effects of Zataria multi...

A total of 38 volatile components were identified in Rhodobryum giganteum (Schwaegr.) Par. collected from two different geographic regions by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The volatile components included some aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, monoterpene hydrocarbons and a sesquiterpene (alpha-farnesene), with 1-met...

Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) leaves with small irregular or ellipsoidal necrotic spots were collected in a suburb area of Ardal city, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province Iran summer 2018. A fungal isolate was recovered from diseased tissue identified as Bipolaris sorokiniana based on morphological characteristics partial sequence the gpdh gene. In pathogenicity study, disease symptoms observed i...

Axenic shoot culture of Mentha arvensis was established from young shoots of plants cultivated in a field. In the shoots cultured on Murashige-Skoog solid and liquid media for 3-4 weeks, pulegone was the main constituent in both cases, and the content of pulegone in liquid medium was much more than that on solid medium. The shoots cultured in the dark for 3 weeks produced only pulegone. However...
