The present paper reports a complete mass spectrometric characterization of both the phenolic and volatile fractions of a dried spearmint extract. Phenolic compounds were analysed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS(n)) and a total of 66 compounds were tentatively identified, being the widest phenolic characterisation of spearm...

Ethanolic and aqueous extracts from five plant species used in Turkish traditional medicine were evaluated for in vivo hypercholesterolaemic and antioxidant activities: Agrostemma githago L., Potentilla reptans L., Thymbra spicata var. spicata L., Urtica dioica L. and Viscum album var. album L. We assayed the effects of the administration of plant extracts on serum total cholesterol, triglyceri...

The terpene and fatty acid composition in ethanol extracts of spearmint (lat. Mentha spicata) growing the Middle Urals was studied by gas chromatography chromatography-mass spectrometry. qualitative quantitative fraction depending on part plant (leaves, stems, roots) storage method (freezing, drying). 30 components were found extracts, 24 identified. It that greatest amount terpenes is containe...

Agricultural hydrogels improve water retention in a variety of substrates. However, little is known about their impact on herb cultivation rooftop farming. To identify the optimal substrate and hydrogel concentration for growth flowering spearmint ( Mentha spicata ) gardens, coir perlite were mixed three different ratios 80% to 20% (v/v; referred as C 4 P 1 ), 50% (C or ). Hydrogels added into ...

Intensive crop production and irrational use of fertilizers agrochemicals have questionable effects on the quality products sustainable water for agricultural purposes. Organic cultivation and/or deficit irrigation are, among others, well appreciated practices a system. In present study, spearmint plants (Mentha spicata L.) were grown in different schemes (conventional versus organic cultivatio...

shortage of water in arid and semiarid regions of the world can reduce growth and production of medicinal and aromatic plants, especially mentha species. in order to evaluate response of mint species to water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out using a completely factorial-randomized design with five replications at college of agriculturae, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the fa...
