The present study was designed to determine the effects of the essential oil of Laurusnobilis L. (Lauraceae) and its three main components on α-glucosidase and reactive oxygenspecies scavenging activity. The chemical composition of the essential oil from Laurus nobilisL. leaves was analyzed by GC/GC-MS and resulted in the identification of 29 compounds,representing 99.18% of the total oil. 1,8-...

Abstract Common fragranced consumer products, such as cleaning supplies and personal care emit chiral compounds limonene that have been associated with adverse effects on human health. However, those same abound in nature, at similar concentrations but without the apparent health effects. We investigated whether different types of may elicit biological In this study, we mortality rate mosquito ...

We have proposed a new strategy for preparing free-standing nanofibrous webs from an inclusion complex (IC) of a well-known flavor/fragrance compound (limonene) with three modified cyclodextrins (HPβCD, MβCD, and HPγCD) via electrospinning (CD/limonene-IC-NFs) without using a polymeric matrix. The experimental and computational modeling studies proved that the stoichiometry of the complexes was...

BACKGROUND Limonene is widely used as a fragrance substance and solvent in cleansing products. Oxidized limonene is a frequent contact allergen among consumers of cosmetics, personal care products, and scented household cleaning products. Less is known about the sources of occupational exposure and occupational contact dermatitis caused by limonene. OBJECTIVE To report 14 patients with occupa...

R-(+)-limonene epoxidation has been focused from different synthesis methods. Thanks to the optically active epoxides obtained this reaction are widely employed at industrial level, like: agrochemicals, polymers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals. A key point found in topic asymmetric induction improve yield diastereomers of 1,2-limonene oxide. Many catalysts have developed for diastereoselective epox...
