The triacylglycerol (TAG) structure and the regio-stereospecific distribution of fatty acids (FA) of seed oils from most of the Apiaceae family are not well documented. The TAG structure ultimately determines the final physical properties of the oils and the position of FAs in the TAG molecule affects the digestion; absorption and metabolism; and physical and technological properties of TAGs. F...

Twelve medicinal plants and a commercially used drug Ivermectin were examined for insecticidal activity against Melophagus ovinus sheep ked at different time intervals using in vitro adult immersion test. The findings show that at 3.13 µL/mL, 6.25 µL/mL and 12.5 µL/mL concentration of Cymbopogon citratus, Foeniculum vulgare and Eucalyptus globulus essential oils respectively, recorded 100% mort...

eucalyptus camaldulensis dehnh and callistemon viminalis (gaertn) essential oils were tested against adults (1-3 day old) of tribolium confusum jacquelin du val. in 280 ml glass vials either with or devoid of wheat grains. the oils were also examined for fumigant toxicity against, 5 and 20-day-old larvae. the essential oils were obtained through hydrodistillation, applying a modified clevenger ...

Larvae and adults of certain species of predator lady beetles feed on pollen, guaranteeing their survival, and at times, reproduction in the absence of preferred prey. Palynology, therefore, may contribute in the investigation of botanical families visited by these predators in order to obtain this floral resource. There are records of the visitation of Apiaceae flowers by Coleomegilla maculata...

Foeniculum vulgare, universally known as Fennel is an important seed spice crop belonging to the umbelliferae (Apiaceae) family. Fennel is very well known by ancient people of Europe and Asia Minor for its flavour and medicinal properties. Depending on the variety it may be an annual, biennial or perennial herb. Survey of published literature revealed that significant research work have been ca...

certain compounds of plants such as essential oils, with insecticidal properties have been considered as alternatives to chemical pesticides for pest control. this study reports the fumigant toxicity of citrus reticulata blanco (rutaceae) peel essential oils against stored-product insect pest, red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum herbst (tenebrionidae) adults. experiment was carried out at 27 ...

BACKGROUND The Candida species are the most important factors of fungal infections in humans and animals. It is necessary to prepare antifungal or antimicrobial drugs because of increasing drug resistance. The natural treatment of diseases of bacterial origin using medicinal plants is important. In this study the effect of antimicrobial medicinal herbal essential oils and conventional antifunga...

Plant extracts and essential oils are promising new sources of non-toxic alternatives to chemicals substances. They used for their antimicrobial properties against plant diseases fungal origin, bacterial, those virus origin. This study was carried out the antifungal activity Artemisia herba-alba, Foeniculum vulgare Citrus sinensis Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis. Essential oil extracted by ...

Rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae L.) is a primary insect pest of stored grain. The development of resistance resulted in the application of synthetic insecticides. In recent years many plant essential oils have provided potential alternatives to currently used insect control agents. The Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus molle L. var. areira (L.) DC.) (Anacardiaceae) has different biological properti...
