Multiple field studies have suggested chemistry within a forest canopy is poorly understood due to inadequate detection and quantification of reactive biogenic emissions, such as terpenes. To measure emission rates of terpenes at Blodgett Forest, a coniferous forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, we placed enclosures over branches of the dominant species at the site – Ponderosa p...

The chemical compositions of essential oils obtained from Ocimum basilicum var. thyrsiflora (1.39 % dry weight) and Ocimum basilicum (0.61 %) were analyzed by GC–MS. Seventy-three constituents representing 99.64 % of the chromatographic peak area were obtained in the O. basilicum var. thyrsiflora oil, whereas 80 constituents representing 91.11 % observed in the essential oil of O. basilicum wer...

The present paper examines the chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of free volatile aglycones from basil compared to their essential oil. The comparison of chemical composition of volatile aglycones with the chemical composition of essential oil reveals four common compounds: eugenol, chavicol, linalool and a-terpineol. For the evaluation of the mentioned antioxidant capacities, two d...

Background: Betel leaf oil is a wonderful natural antiseptic. rich in polyphenols, especially chavicol, which can be used to protect against microbe pathogens that cause infection. The of the spread nosocomial infections radiology occur using radiographic cassette. Previous research has found cassette contains microorganisms and fungi. Purpose: To determine effectiveness betel as disinfection o...

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of biofertilizers on quantity and quality of essential oil of basil essential oil content, geranial, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide and methyl chavicol in essential oil. The experiment was carried out as randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture Company of Ran ...

BACKGROUND Gamma-tocotrienol (GTT), an isomer of vitamin E and hydroxy-chavicol (HC), a major bioactive compound in Piper betle, has been reported to possess anti-carcinogenic properties by modulating different cellular signaling events. One possible strategy to overcome multi-drug resistance and high toxic doses of treatment is by applying combinational therapy especially using natural bioacti...

A complete study was conducted through manufacturing of Microencapsulation Basil Oil Powder (MEBOP) and Thyme (METOP) to evaluate the anti-bacterial activity against aquatic pathogens. An oil-in-water emulsion were prepared using gum with dextrin resultant matrix spray dried average yield 45% w/w MEBOP 50% METOP. Total oil content in encapsulated powder both found be 24.39% 25.80% METOP respect...
