Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum cv. ‘Mriachii Blue’) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. However, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of Lisianthus. For this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...

background: echinophora platyloba dc (apiaceae) is one of the two endemic species of echinophora genus in iran. it has many folkloric uses and several biological activities but there is no information about its phytoconstituents. objective: in this work some of the secondary metabolites were isolated, purified and identified from n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts from the aerial par...

the hydrodistilled oil of the aerial parts of echiophora platyloba dc. was analyzed by gc and gc/ms. ten components have been identified, of which the major constituents were found to be trans-b -ocimene (67.9%), 2-furanone (6.2%), myrcene (6.0%), linalool (3.1%), and cis-b -ocimene (2.3%).

Echinophora Platyloba D.C as a medicinal plant is used for preservation of foods and treatment of many diseases in different regions of Iran. The present study was undertaken to determine the chemical composition and investigation of the antibacterial effects of essential oil as well as methanol extract from aerial part of Echinophora Platyloba D.C against S. aure...

Nowadays, the application of natural antimicrobials like plant extracts in food preservation isbecoming popular and increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Echinophora platyloba (E.platyloba) aqueous extract on gas-producing fungi and sensory properties of doogh. For this reason, theconcentration of 0% (Control), 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 8% of the extract were...

The present study was carried out to enhance shelf life of pasteurized cream using Echinophora platyloba essential oil (EEO) and lycopene. For this purpose, two concentrations of EEO (0.10% and 0.50%) and lycopene (20 and 50 ppm) alone and together as combinations were added in pasteurized creams and analyzed for microbial characteristics, sensorial properties and lipid stability during storage...
