The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and in vitro antifungal activity Mentha × Piperita L. (peppermint) essential oil (EO) against some plant pathogenic fungi (Alternaria alternata, Penicillium expansum, Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizopus stolonifer). Antifungal EO selected conducted using agar diffusion method by adding peppermint concentrations (0, 250, 500, 750, ...

The antioxidant capacity of essential oils of Mentha spicata L., Mentha x gentilis L., Mentha crispa L., Mentha piperita L. and Mentha x piperita L. was determined by using differential pulse voltammetry. This assay was based on the reduction in the limiting current value of the oxygen electroreduction, which was used to calculate the antioxidant capacity (K) of these species. The species M. x ...

The present study was conducted with the objective of finding out the concordance between morphological data and molecular data of Mentha spicata and Mentha royleana. Moreover the study was aimed to investigate the relationship between and within the two species. Mentha species were collected from QAU, Shadara, Chattar, Donga gali and Qarshi industries, Hattar. For molecular study Random Amplif...

background & aim:mentha longifolia (l.) huds is an aromatic perennial herb that belongs to the   family lamiaceae. the aim of this study was to identify chemical composition of aerial parts   (including leaf, stem and flowers) of m. longifolia collected from   (kamu mountain) isfahan province. experimental: the essential oils were extracted   using the hydrodistillation method and analysed by g...

background: natural antioxidants with plant origin are incorporated to foods in the forms of essential oils or extracts. they can retard lipid oxidation and control spoilage bacteria in foodstuffs (e.g. meat products). objective: this work was aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrite partial replacement with mentha piperita essential oil (mpeo) on oxidative, microbial and sensory properties of c...

This study investigated the Pennyroyal in terms of its effects on performance and meat quality (color pH) Japanese quails different levels. A total one day-old quail chicks were randomly distributed to a control two experimental groups containing three levels pennyroyal (0.0, 0.1 0.2 %). Each group was divided into five repetitive with, ten each group. At end experiment, values parameters measu...
