Ayvalik is an important olive cultivar producing high quality oils in Turkey. In the present study, volatile and phenolic compositions of early-harvest extra virgin olive oil (cv. Ayvalik) were determined. The solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) technique was used for the extraction of volatile components. The aromatic extract obtained by SAFE was representative of the olive oil odor. A ...

The volatile components of Hallabong ([C. unshiu Marcov x C. sinensis Osbeck] x C. reticulata Blanco) cold-pressed peel oil were quantitatively and qualitatively determined by use of two internal standards with GC, GC-MS, and GC-olfactometry. According to instrumental analysis by GC and GC-MS, limonene (90.68%) was the most abundant compound, followed by sabinene (2.15%), myrcene (1.86%), and g...

this study was conducted to investigate allelopathic effect of the essential oil of artemisia herba-alba asso., on seed germination characteristics of  agropyron desertorum and agropyron cristatum in a laboratory experiment. essential oil was extracted from the aerial parts of artemisia herba-alba using a clevenger-type apparatus. the volatile chemical compositions of artemesia herba-alba were ...

volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori, agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocyanate (0.5%), n-...

In our study, bioactivity of essential oil extracted from Ginger (Zingiber officinaleRoscoe.) that belongs to family Zingiberaceae was analyzed. Ginger rhizome oil was found to be effective against a range of bio-deteriogens. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) value was determined by Poisoned Food Technique and Volatile Activity Assay. The study demonstrates that essential oil had a wid...

introduction & aim: the aim of this study was evaluating effect of methanol and ethanol foliar application as a new and safe technology in plant production on lemon balm’s (melissa officinalis l.) volatile oil components. experimental: experimental carried out based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with fifteen treatments and three replications in the experimental field of medi...

antioxidant consumption has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. to clarify the possible role of vitamin e and volatile oils in the prevention of atherosclerosis, the effects of these compounds on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) to oxidative modification were investigated. in this study, vitamin e and seven volatile oils “an...

Employee problems arising from mental illnesses have steadily increased and become a serious social problem in recent years. Wood is a widely available plant material, and knowledge of the psychophysiological effects of inhalation of woody volatile compounds has grown considerably. In this study, we established an experimental method to evaluate the effects of Japanese cedar wood essential oil ...

Acute volatile movements in primary commodity prices have drawn enough interests from empirical researchers. Exports of these commodities account for the bulk of export earnings of developing countries. The traditional demand based framework has been unable to explain the marked deterioration in these prices during 1980s. This paper tries to ascertain the role played by real oil prices in expla...

Four Hereford steers (500 +/- 4.5 kg of BW) cannulated in the proximal duodenum were used to evaluate the effects of vegetable oil source or fish oil quantity on ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) and CLA outflow. Steers were fed 1 of 4 treatment diets in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (oil source: canola vs. corn oil; fish oil quantity: 0 or 1%) in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. The rema...
