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...

Abstract The accumulation of soil-borne pathogens is the main driving factor negative plant-soil feedbacks (NPSFs), which seriously restricts sustainable development agriculture. Using natural volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plants or microorganisms as biofumigants an emerging strategy to alleviate NPSFs in environmentally-friendly way. Here, we identified ?-terpineol VOCs pine needles, ...

Blueberries originated from North America and the predominant cultivated species are Vaccinium corymbosum (Northern Southern Highbush), ashei (Southern Rabbiteye), angustifolium (Lowbush). Consumer’s demand for high-quality blueberry fruits has driven interest to better understand flavor chemistry of blueberry. Forty-five previously identified aroma contributing compounds were further investiga...

This study aimed to analyse the antibacterial potential of limonene, terpineol, and eugenol for biofilm reduction food-borne E. coli, S. aureus typhimurium. A microdilution test with resazurin application was used minimum inhibitory concentration a colony plate count bactericidal concentration. Biofilm biomass quantified using crystal violet assay, while viability determined method. The results...

Aromas and fragrances can be obtained through the microbial oxidation of monoterpenes. Many microorganisms can be used to carry out extremely specific conversions using substrates of low commercial value. However, for many species, these substrates are highly toxic, consequently inhibiting their metabolism. In this work, the conversion ability of Aspergillus niger IOC-3913 for terpenic compound...
