the essential oils of zataria multiflora (labiatae) from four regions of iran were investigated by glc and gc-ms methods. the main constituents were carvacrol, thymol, linalool and p-cymene. the percentage of the constituents (in dry and wet plant) of different regions have been compared. antibacterial and antifungal effects of these essential oils have been studied. the essential oil with high...

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...

conclusions antioxidant activity of this essential oil could be somehow attributed to high contents of carvone, carvacrol and thymol. the volatile oil of this plant could have the potential of other biological activities, so further experimental investigations are recommended on this essential oil. results analyses of yellow colored essential oil yielded 88.22% of total oil with 67 components. ...
