the aim of this study was evaluation of phytochemical components, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial effects of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) essential oil (beo) in vitro. the lipid oxidation of the meat and antibacterial effects of beo were also evaluated in beef burger product. in this empirical study, essential oil of the basil was isolated by hydrodistillation. then, beo was analyzed by ...

The chemical constituents of leaves, inflorescence, and flowers from Ocimum basilicum (Thai basil) and Ocimum sanctum (Holy basil) were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The chemical compounds were extracted by hydrodistillation, headspace-solid phase microextraction, and solvent extraction.  The main constituents of Ocimum basilicum were identified to consist of estragole (...

In this study, the chemical composition of the essential oil of Teucrium scordium was studied using capillary GC and GC/MS instruments. In addition, the antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of the oil and methanol extract were evaluated by disc diffusion and MTT assays, respectively. Forty-three volatile components were identified from the oil of aerial parts, representing of 98....

This study was conducted to assessment the antibacterial activities of different part of basil essential oil on the standard gram-negative bacteria include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and gram-positive ones including Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogen. The basil essential oil was provided from two part of the plant (leaf and herb) at...

Plant volatiles induced by herbivory are often used as olfactory cues by foraging herbivores and their natural enemies, and thus have potential for control of agricultural pests. Compared to chewing insects and mites, little is known about plant volatile production following herbivory by insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts. Here, we studied factors (insect life stage, gender, the role of s...

introduction: there have been great efforts to find safe and potent natural antioxidants from various plant sources. there is, at present, increasing interest both in the industry and scientific research for spices and aromatic herbs because of their strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, which exceed many currently used natural and synthetic antioxidants. medicinal plants are complex...

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil on antioxidant status of chickens. Thirty-two female Ross 308 hybrid broilers were fed one of four diets supplemented with 0%, 0.1%, 0.05% and 0.025% of essential oil for 38 days. Blood, liver, kidney and duodenal epithelium were collected for the subsequent evaluation of antioxidant status. Feeding o...

J. Am. Soc. Brew. Chem. 73(2):151-158, 2015 Linalool, an important substance in hoppy, aromatic beer, is one of the most aromatic components of essential oils in hops. Linalool concentration, among those of other substances, could be used to distinguish among hops varieties. As such, an effective, repeatable, and high-throughput method is required; a new method based on fluidized-bed extraction...
