Eugenol is the essential component of many spice oils such as clove, cinnamon leaf, basil, nutmeg, etc. The determination authenticity oil pivotal for estimating purity any oil. Hence, there a high time to identify marker compounds present in particular From ancient times, clove known physiological properties. It also widely used dentistry and has potent antioxidant property. In this study, eug...

The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare five essential oils (EOs) as penetration enhancers (PEs) to improve the transdermal drug delivery (TDD) of ibuprofen to treat dysmenorrhoea. The EOs were prepared using the steam distillation method and their chemical compositions were identified by GC-MS. The corresponding cytotoxicities were evaluated in epidermal keartinocyte HaCaT cell...

The aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial activity essential oil (EO) cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and its major compound cinnamaldehyde against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 14458) bacteria isolated from mastitic milk. Cinnamon EO chemically characterized by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Bactericidal (MBC) were determined, as wel...

Since the discovery of AFB1 as an important mycotoxin in 1960, several investigations have attempted to develop methods for the degradation and removal of mycotoxins from food and feed. The use of chemical preservatives in food to abate the mycotoxin problem has disadvantages due to residual effects of these preservatives on human and animal health (Freedman 1980; Parke and Lewis 1992; Knezevic...

Background: Essential Oils (EOs) of spices may serve as a potential source of antibacterial and antioxidant agents due to the presence of a diverse group of phytochemicals. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to seek EOs from five commonly used spices that have both strong antibacterial and antioxidant potential to shed some light on these important aspects. Methods: In vitr...

Essential oils of aniseed, cinnamon leaf, red thyme, tea tree, peppermint, nutmeg, rosemary, and pine were tested in vitro against lice, Pediculus humanus. All the oils except for rosemary and pine were found to be effective in the laboratory when applied in an alcoholic solution and followed by a rinse the following morning in an essential oil/vinegar/water mixture. Peppermint and nutmeg were ...

Cinnamaldehyde is an important compound of the cinnamon essential oil, and it is responsible for the most of the health benefits of cinnamon. Enriching foods such as milk with cinnamaldehyde can lead to greater utilization of cinnamaldehyde properties. In this study, we investigated the interaction of cinnamaldehyde with bovine alpha-lactalbumin. Analyzing the spectrum of alpha-lactalbumin in t...

Abstract This study aimed to chemically characterize the essential oils (EOs) of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) and Eremanthus erythropappus (candeia) evaluate their acaricidal activity, together with that major compounds cinnamyl acetate derivative, against Rhipicephalus microplus. Essential oil were identified through gas chromatography. The larval packet test (LPT) at concentrations rangin...
