Screening of chemical composition and antimicrobial potential of Algerian sage essential oil
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this study was first to investigate the essential oil constituents of the aerial parts of Salvia officinalis L. from Algeria extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and then to evaluate its potential antimicrobial activity using the agar diffusion disc method. The essential oil consisted of a complex mixture of 17 different substances; -thujone (24.9 %) was the main component. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the isolated essential oil was tested against Gramnegative and positive bacteria and one fungus and proved to be active against all tested microorganisms.
