abstract

background food born pathogenic bacteria are the most important agents of infections in humans, and food spoilage also results in economic losses in food industry. objectives the aim of this study was the evaluation of chemical components, total phenolic content, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of artemisia dracunculus essential oil. materials and methods the essential oil of tarragon was analyzed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (gc-fid) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc-ms). the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content were evaluated by bleaching of β-carotene and folin ciocalteu methods, respectively. the antibacterial effect of the essential oil was inspected on seven gram- positive and negative bacteria using the microdilution method. results a total of 19 compounds were identified by gc-fid and gc-ms. the main compounds were methyl chavicol (84.83%), trans-ocimene (3.86%), z-β-ocimene (3.42%), limonene (1.79%) and α-pinene (0.57%). total phenols were 10.16 ± 0.08 mg/g gallic acid equivalent. the essential oil showed good antioxidant activity in bleaching of β-carotene method (50 ± 1.63%). the minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (mbc) for essential oil ranged between 3.8 to 250 mg/ml, respectively. conclusions the essential oil of tarragon might be replaced by synthetic antioxidant and preservatives in food industry.

Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon): a critical review of its traditional use, chemical composition, pharmacology, and safety.

Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon) has a long history of use as a spice and remedy. Two well-described "cultivars" (Russian and French) are used widely and differ in ploidy level, morphology, and chemistry. Key biologically active secondary metabolites are essential oils (0.15-3.1%), coumarins (>1%), flavonoids, and phenolcarbonic acids. In vivo studies mainly in rodents, particularly from Ru...

Determination of the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of the essential oil of Artemisia dracunculus and of the antifungal and antibacterial activities of Turkish Artemisia absinthium, A. dracunculus, Artemisia santonicum, and Artemisia spicigera essential oils.

The essential oil isolated from Turkish tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) by hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty compounds representing 99.5% of total oil were identified. The predominant components in the oil were (Z)-anethole (81.0%), (Z)-beta-ocimene (6.5%), (E)-beta-ocimene (3.1%), limonene (3.1%), and methyleugenol (1.8%). The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the essen...

Antifungal Activity of Nanoemulsion of Iranian Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) Essential Oil

Background: Despite the considerable activity of herbal Essential Oils (EOs) as safe food preservatives, problems such as high volatility, low water solubility, and low stability in adverse environmental conditions restrict their use in food products. This work aimed to investigate in vitro antifungal activity of oil-in-water nanoemulsion of Iranian Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon) EO. Meth...
