The essential oil (EO) obtained by hydrodistillation from Teucrium polium L. was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Antioxidant activity was evaluated through DPPH assay and Beta-carotene/linoleic acid assay. Twenty one components were identified representing (90.4%) of the EO. Main constituents of the essential oil were found as Spathulenol (15.06%...

GC-MS analysis identified forty seven and fourteen components in oils extracted using HD and in the volatile fractions extracted using HSE, respectively. eudesm-7(11) en-4-ol (28.46%), α-terpinyl acetate (12%), germacrene D-4-ol(7.3%), 1,8-cineole (6.22%), δ-cadinene (6.49%), bicyclogermacrene (5.20%) and α-cadinol (5.06%) were recorded as the main components of the essential oil and The major ...

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum L. and Hypericum scabrum L. from plants growing wild in Tajikistan were analyzed by GC-MS. Sixty-six compounds were identified in the essential oils of H. perforatum with germacrene D (13.7%), α-pinene (5.1%), (E)-caryophyllene (4.7%), n-dodecanol (4.5%), caryophyllene oxide (4.2%), bicyclogermacrene ...

Essential oils from three of the eleven endemic New Zealand species of Pseudopanax, P. arboreus, P. discolor and P. lessonii, were found to have a fairly uniform composition which was different from that of the oils of Raukaua species that were formerly classified in the Pseudopanax genus. Oils of the three Pseudopanax species all contained significant proportions of viridiflorol and a closely ...

The Raukaua genus of the family Araliaceae consists of 3 species, R. anomalus, R. edgerleyi and R. simplex, all endemic to New Zealand. The essential oil of R. edgerleyi and R. simplex consisted largely of monoterpenes. Limonene was the most abundant (23%) in R. edgerleyi and myrcene the most abundant (34%) in R. simplex. The oil of R. simplex lacked any significant sesquiterpenoids whereas bic...

The chemical compositions were determined by the leaf essential oils of 2 Vietnamese plants, Piper betle f. densum and Disepalum plagioneurum. main classes in P oil sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (30.1%) oxygenated sesquiterpenes (60.1%), with γ-elemene (12.7%), valeranone (9.3%), ishwarone (6.0%) being principal compounds. plagioneurum was dominated monoterpene (23.9%) (59.8%). Bicyclogermacrene (...

The composition of hydro-distilled essential oils of Phlomis anisodonta Boiss. subsp. occidentalis Jamzad in vegetative, flowering and post flowering stages were investigated using GC and GC-MS, leading to identification of 41, 26 and 23 compounds, respectively. In all three samples, sesquiterpenes were the main components. In vegetative stage the main components of the oil were germacrene-D (1...

Stachys L. one of the biggest genus of the Lamiaceae family comprises about 200-300 species.  In this research, aerial parts essential oil composition and content of Stachys lavandulifolia Vahl (Lamiaceae)at different stages (vegetative, full flowering and initial fruiting stages) is reported. The oils obtained by water distillation method (Clevenger apparatus) and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The...

A busca por produtos naturais que possam substituir preservantes da madeira sintéticos é crescente. Dentre estes produtos, estão os óleos essenciais (OEs). Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade antifúngica dos OEs de Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Nectandra grandiflora, megapotamica e Piper gaudichaudianum, sobre fungos apodrecedores Trametes versicolor Gloeophyllum trabeum. Os...
