Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. (Annonaceae) is a typical species from the Brazilian cerrado that presents medicinal properties. The plant distinguished by its large white flowers which produce pleasant fragrance. X. characterized wide range of application. These characteristics have motivated us to investigate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via in vivo and vitro protocols headspace solid-pha...

Medicinal foods and plants have been widely used as foods, dietary supplements, or medicines worldwide and demonstrated a diversified health benefits with a long history. The raw materials and finished products of botanicals are becoming increasingly popular to public and scientific communities , highlighting the need for analytical methodology to ensure the quality. The safety and efficacy of ...

The phytochemical investigation of both volatile and fixed metabolites of Clinopodium taxifolium (Kunth) Govaerts (Lamiaceae) was performed for the first time. It allowed the isolation and characterization of the essential oil and six known compounds: carvacrol (1), squalane (2), uvaol (3), erythrodiol (4), ursolic acid (5), and salvigenin (6). Their structures were identified and characterized...

Menthofuran rich eight half-sib seed progeny of Mentha piperita (MPS-36) were studied for various genetic parameters, namely, coefficient of variation, heritability, genetic advance, correlation, and path of various plant and oil attributes, namely, plant height, L:S ratio, herb yield, β -myrcene, limonene, 1,8-cineole, menthone, menthofuran, neomenthone, pulegone, and menthol. Maximum genotypi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the Stachys turcomanica phytochemical compounds, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract. The volatile constituents from the aerial parts of Stachys turcomanica growing wild in Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. In the GC-MS analysis, Forty-six components representing 81.1% of the oil were identifie...

The Ruta graveolens L. (Rutaceae) plant is used medicinally as a homeopathic remedy in various areas of the world. In this study, volatile oils were extracted from the areal parts of the plant which was collected from southern India, then investigated for its chemical constituents and antimicrobial activities. The volatile oils were extracted by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus and...

This study reports, for the first time, chemical composition and biological activity of essential oil from Brazilian Cymbopogon densiflorus flowers. Thirty compounds were identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS), corresponding to 95 % total an chromatogram obtained chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID ). The was mainly composed cis-p-mentha-1(7),8-die...

Fruit plants produce various volatile compounds that emit distinct aroma characteristics and contribute to their flavor qualities. However, some of these substances, especially hydroxyl-group molecules, are in non-volatile glycosylated forms. This study aimed determine free glycosidically bound three Okinawan pineapple cultivars (‘N67-10′, ‘Yugafu’, ‘Yonekura’). The components squashed juice we...

The green organs, especially the leaves, of many Compositae plants possess characteristic aromas. To exploit the utility value of these germplasm resources, the constituents, mainly volatile compounds, in the leaves of 14 scented plant materials were qualitatively and quantitatively compared via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 213 constituents were detected and tentativ...

the essential oils of the aerial parts of three different artemisia species (a.scoparia, a. diffusa, a. turanica ) growing wildly in the northeast of iran were analyzed by gc-ms. twenty-two, twenty-six, and thirteen components were identified in the essential oils of these plants, respectively. the major constituents of the oil ofa. scoparia were b-pinene (16.10%), carvacrol (13.81%), limonene ...
