This study was aimed at investigating the antimelanogenic and antioxidative properties of the essential oil extracted from leaves of V. negundo Linn and the analysis of the chemical composition of this essential oil. The efficacy of the essential oil was evaluated spectrophotometrically, whereas the volatile chemical compounds in the essential oil were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectr...

b a ckground: the efficacy of essential oil of chenopodium ambrosioides flowering aerial parts and its three main active ingredients was evaluated against blattella germanica male adults. m e t hods: composition of essential oil was determined by gc-ms. topical application bioassay was used to evalu- ate contact toxicity of essential oil and three main components. fumigant toxicity of essential...

This paper provides a summary review of the major biological features concerning the essential oil of turpentine, its origin and use in traditional and modern medicine. More precisely, the safety of this volatile fraction to human health, and the medical, biological and environmental effects of the two major compounds of this fraction (αand β-pinenes) have been discussed.

Ras cheese samples were found to be predominantly infested with A. siro mite. Clove, thyme, rosemary and citrus essential oils showed effective acaricidal activity against Ras cheese mites (A. siro). essential oil. However, treatments of clove or rosemary essential oil negatively affected the cheese flavor. However, degree of acaricidal activity varied according to the type and concentration of...

This study was conducted to evaluate the diurnal effect on essential oil yield and composition of Ledum palustre L. grown in northern Inner Mongolia, China. Essential oil content and composition were determined and compared as a function of different harvesting times viz. 7:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 3:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 11:00 PM within a day. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation was investig...

The present study was carried out to determine the potential antibacterial effect of essential oil of Origanumvulgare against antibiotic resistant E.coli. In this study, the essential oil of Origanumvulgare obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in order to determine their chemical composition. The minimum inhibitory concentrations ...

in this research, the effects of organic fertilizers (bovine, sheep, leaf mould and vermicompost fertilizers) combined with foliar application of salicylic acid (sa) at the rate of 0, 10-2, 10-4 and 10-6 m on essential oil percentage and some secondary metabolites of lemon balm were investigated. the experiment was conducted as complete randomized block design with factorial arrangement in pots...
