Several naturally occurring essential oils including carvacrol, anethole, cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, perillaldehyde, linalool, and p-cymene were evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing decay and increasing antioxidant levels and activities in 'Duke' blueberries ( Vaccinium corymbosum). Carvacrol, anethole, and perillaldehyde showed the capability to promote total anthocyanins and tota...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react with atmospheric OH, NO 3 , and O to form having lower volatility, contributing secondary aerosols (SOAs). Consequently, characterizing the reaction intermediate for this is essential modeling formation of SOAs. Herein, we proposed a mechanism ozonolysis p ‐cymene calculated energies intermediates generated during each step by density functional theory (D...

BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence of obesity is considered a serious global health threat. Mainly due to change of diet and reduced physical activity, obesity is an important risk factor for chronic diseases. A higher level of cytokines and a general inflammatory state has also been associated with this condition. With this regard, potential anti-obesity compounds with anti-inflammatory prop...

A novel, efficient and facile protocol for the synthesis of a series [Ru(NHC)(CO 3 )( p -cymene)] complexes is reported.

A comprehensive suite of vertically-resolved volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements were conducted at the Bolder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) in Erie, Colorado from 18 February to 13 March 2011 as part of the Nitrogen, Aerosol Composition, and Halogens on a tall tower (NACHTT) campaign. The main purpose of this experiment was to investigate and quantify the contribution of monoterpene ox...
