Essential Oil Extraction of Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare) Using Steam Distillation

Cytotoxicity of the Essential Oil of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) from Tajikistan

The essential oil of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is rich in lipophilic secondary metabolites, which can easily cross cell membranes by free diffusion. Several constituents of the oil carry reactive carbonyl groups in their ring structures. Carbonyl groups can react with amino groups of amino acid residues in proteins or in nucleotides of DNA to form Schiff's bases. Fennel essential oil is rich ...

Evaluation of the essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare Mill (fennel) fruits extracted by three different extraction methods by GC/MS.

BACKGROUND Hydrodistillation (HD) and steam-distillation, or solvent extraction methods of essential oils have some disadvantages like thermal decomposition of extracts, its contamination with solvent or solvent residues and the pollution of residual vegetal material with solvent which can be also an environmental problem. Thus, new green techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction and m...

GC-MS Analysis and in Vitro Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Foeniculum vulgare Seed Essential Oil

Essential oil from seeds of Foeniculum vulgare was extracted on Clevenger apparatus. Essential oil was analyzed on Gas-Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) from which thirty six components were identified, among which 6 major and 30 minor components having different structural formulae and molecular weight representing total 99.98% of oil. Essential was investigated for its antibacterial an...

Application of Multistage Steam Distillation Column for Extraction of Essential Oil of Rosemarinuse officinialis L.

Chemical composition, antibacterial activity and mechanism of action of essential oil from seeds of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.)

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is widely cultivated and used as a culinary spice. In this work, the chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of fennel seeds was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCeMS), and 28 components were identified. Trans-anethole (68.53%) and estragole (10.42%) were found to be the major components. The antibacterial activ...
