ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the influence of seasonality in essential oil (EO) chemical composition Mentha x piperita L. and viridis grown southeast Brazil. Leaves were collected from November 2011 until August 2013, middle following seasons: Spring (November), Summer (February), Autumn (May) Winter (August). EO extraction was carried out by hydrodistillation Clevenger apparatus for 1 hour. ...

background: brucella abortus is a gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium that can cause a highly contagious disease in sheep, goats, cattle and one-humped camels. it is responsible for one of the most important zoonosis in human. the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of mentha piperita, origanum majorana, citrus lemon, cinnamomum verum and myristica fragrans essential volati...

Background & Aim: Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) oil is one of the most popular and widely used as an essential oil. The aim of this study was to identify of the chemical components of peppermint cultivated in Isfahan climatic conditions. Experimental: The aerial parts of the plants were collected from a filed in Meymeh, Isfahan province in 2012. The essential oil was extracted by a ...

Sensory neurons report a wide range of temperatures, from noxious heat to noxious cold. Natural products that elicit psychophysical sensations of hot or cold, such as capsaicin or menthol, were instrumental in the discovery of thermal detectors belonging to the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. Studies are now beginning to reveal how these channels contribute to ther...

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is a density dependent communication system that regulates the expression of certain genes including production of virulence factors in many pathogens. Bioactive plant extract/compounds inhibiting QS regulated gene expression may be a potential candidate as antipathogenic drug. In this study anti-QS activity of peppermint (Mentha piperita) oil was first tested usin...

This study aimed at investigating the effect of ontogenetic and diurnal variability on yield quality criteria Mentha piperita. The research was conducted in Ordu province Turkey for two years. trial established a randomised complete block design with 3 replications according to factorial regulations. Four different harvesting periods (budding, first flowering, 50% 100% flowering) three hours (9...
