This paper presents the results of research on effect essential oils and ethanol extracts growth mold fungi Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood. The analysis fungal microbial medium showed that degree inhibition microorganism depends amount extract added to medium. At same time, it was found highest dose extract, amounting 5.0 cm3, almost completely inhibited fungi. In addition, mint extracts...

Medicinal and aromatic plant species are important sources of secondary metabolites with therapeutic, cosmetic, and food processing applications. The quality of the metabolites, however, frequently varies due to inconsistencies in secondary metabolite composition of plant extracts, especially within the family Lamiaceae. A major contributing factor to these metabolite inconsistencies is undoubt...

objective: evaluation activity was conducted using three spearmint genotypes (wg-spm-engl, spm-fran and spm-eas) and one standard check (wgsm-03) at wondo genet, awassa, debre zeit and allagae during 2012 and 2013 for two years. methods: the treatments were arranged in randomized complete block design with four replications. data on leaf to stem ratio, leaf yield/ha, essential oil content and e...

In a study published previously in this journal (Wilkinson et al., 2002), the effect of chewing gum on cognitive functioning was examined. The results of this study indicated that chewing a piece of gum results in an improvement of working memory and of both immediate and delayed recall of words but not of attention. In the present study, memory and a variety of attentional functions of healthy...

a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the extract biochemical variations among 25 spearmint population. the experiment was a randomized complete design (rcd) with 25 treatments (population) and three replications. for this purpose, three rhizomes with 5 cm length were selected and planted in each pot. all pots were kept out side. the plant samples of all treatments were harvested at full f...

Domestic production of culinary herbs continues to increase in the United States. Culinary are primarily propagated by seed; however, some have poor germination rates and slow growth. Thus, there advantages propagating vegetative stem-tip cuttings as they lead true-to-type plants a shortened time. Previous research ornamental young finished shown reduction rooting time increases plant quality w...

Progress in practical Bayesian optimization is hampered by the fact that the only available standard benchmarks are artificial test functions that are not representative of practical applications. To alleviate this problem, we introduce a library of benchmarks from the prominent application of hyperparameter optimization and use it to compare Spearmint, TPE, and SMAC, three recent Bayesian opti...

The preparation of flavored vegetable oils using spice and herb plants is considered to be an indispensable opportunity for the application these plants. In present exploration, sunflower oil (SFO) samples by Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) were prepared maceration method (MM) ultrasound-assisted (UM). antioxidant effects, sensory evaluation oxidative stability during accelerated storage; physico...
