CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF VOLATILE FRACTION OF THE BARCK OF Maclura pomifera FRUIT GROWS IN TUNISIA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The volatile compounds from Maclura pomifera (Osage orange fruit) peel have been studied by GC-FID and GC–MS. Volatiles fraction proportion was estimated to 60 mg/kg. Identified compounds consist on aliphatics (52.6%), monoterpenes along with sesquiterpenes (27.3%), phenylpropane derivatives along with related compounds (10.0%) and other compounds (10.6%). Among the 60 identified compounds, 1-hexanol (13.5%), (Z)-Hex-3-en-1-ol (10.2%), -cadinol (10.1%), Tetradecanoic acid (8.4%), β-eudesmol (8.3%) and Megastigma-4,6(Z),8(E)triene (5.3%) were the majors. Essential oil was tested for antibacterial activity against five strains. The oil showed a moderate antibacterial effect against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylosccus aureus, Enterobacter faecalis and Echerchia coli.
