Bioactivity of thyme has been described, but mostly related to its essential oils, while studies with aqueous extracts are scarce. Herein, the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of decoction, infusion and hydroalcoholic extract, as also their phenolic compounds, were evaluated and compared. Decoction showed the highest concentration of phenolic compounds (either phenolic acids or flavonoi...

This work has demonstrated the ixodicidal and insect antifeedant effects of essential oils from 14 experimentally cultivated aromatic plants.

Vacío conocimiento: control D. gallinae se hace a través acaricidas químicos hacia cuales han generado resistencia, necesario nuevas alternativas base productos naturales, ...

Fusarium avenaceum, Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum, and Neofabraea vagabunda, represent postharvest diseases which cause significant apple losses. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effects organic essential oils (EOs) (Thymus vulgaris, Lavandula angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis) against pathogens both in vitro vivo, as an integrated management tool. By GC–MS analys...

The essential oils from twenty-two plants grown in the highlands were isolated by hydrodistillation. with an oil yield above one percent, including Achillea millefolium, Asparagus plumosus, Matricaria chamomilla, Mentha piperita, pulegium, and Thymus vulgaris, tested for antibacterial activity total antioxidant capacity. Their activities against three most common foodborne pathogens opportunist...
