In this paper, comparison of the volatile components composition in the samples obtained by hydrodistillation and solid-phase microextraction of Salvia officinalis was described. Different sample preparation techniques showed considerable differences in volatiles composition, especially with respect to sesqui- and diterpenoids. The comparison of the sage essential oil obtained by hydrodistillat...

treatment strategies for ad will have to include a variety of interventions directed at multiple targets. so far, the outcomes with available approved medications for ad are often unsatisfactory, and there is a place for alternative medicine, in particular herbal medicine. herbal medicines are being used by about 80% of the world population primarily in the developing countries for primary heal...

Salvia officinalis, L. (Lamiaceae) is one of the most widespread herbal species used in the area of human health and in the food-processing industry. Salvia and its extracts are known to be a rich source of antioxidants. As shown previously, the crude ethanolic extract of salvia (SE) exerts lower anti-oxidative properties in lard compared to the new salvia food formulations No. 1 (SF1; 32% of S...

The methanolic extracts, infusions, decoctions and hydrosols of six plants were investigated for their total phenolic contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities: Mentha piperita (Peppermint), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Melissa officinalis (lemon balm), Ocimum basilicum (basil), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and Salvia officinalis (sage) (Lamiaceae). Total phenolic contents were determ...

Six medicinal plants Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don, Angelica archangelica L., Lavandula officinalis L., Salvia officinalis L., Melilotus officinalis L., and Ruta graveolens L. were used. The aim of the study was to compare their extracts obtained by Soxhlet (hexane) extraction, maceration with ethanol (EtOH), and supercritical CO2 extraction (SC-CO2) targeted on coumarin content (by high p...

One undescribed and six known abietane diterpenoids were isolated as ligands for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) from leaves of Salvia officinalis, a folk medicine in the Mediterranean Sea area. The structure diterpenoid named (+)-(10R)-11,14-dioxoabieta-8,12-diene-12,20-diol was assigned by 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic HR-ESI-MS data. AhR ligand activity evaluated AhR-dependent luciferase reporter ...

Background and objectives: Plant essential oils are sometimes considered for use as antimicrobial agents in foods and medicines and they could be combined with other antimicrobial agents to strengthen the effect and/or reduce the required dose. This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of the Ocimum basilicum, Salvia officinalis and Trachyspermum ammi essential oils and eva...
