Abstract The in vitro activity of Cinnamomum cassia , Melaleuca alternifolia and Cymbopogon citratus essential oils antimycotics clotrimazole, fluconazole, ketokonazole against T. mentagrophytes was evaluated by the disc-diffusion method. were tested at 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 % concentration. It found that commonly called lemongrass, cinnamon show stable results independent concentration used, ...

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of lemongrass essential oil vapors on the dynamics of surface microbiota and L. monocytogenes growth on rocket and melon under different packaging conditions and storage temperature. For that purpose, rocket and melon were placed on Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) trays, sprayed with L. monocytogenes to a population of 4.5-5.0 log CFU·g(-1), pac...

Some fragrance components of spices used for cooking are known to have an effect on human behavior. The aim of this investigation was to examine the effect of the essential oils of basil (Ocimum formacitratum L.) leaves, lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates L.) herbs, ki lemo (Litsea cubeba L.) bark, and laja gowah (Alpinia malaccencis Roxb.) rhizomes on locomotor activity in mice and identify the a...

Carrageenan has been proved as potent growth promoting substance in its depolymerized form. However, relatively little is known about its role in counteracting the adverse effects of drought stress on plants. In a pot experiment, lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus Steud.), grown under different water stress regimes [(100% field capacity (FC), 80% FC and 60% FC)], was sprayed with 40, 80 and 120 m...

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil (EO) is a major source of bioactive compounds (BC) with anticancer activity such as ?-citral, limonene, geraniol, geranyl acetate, and ?-caryophyllene. Comparative studies about cytokinin effects on BC profiles in lemongrass are missing. Here, we evaluated four cytokinins (2iP, tZ, BAP, KIN) two different osmotic media, MS-N (3% sucrose, 3 g L?1 Ge...

Citral, a bioactive compound in Palmrose oil, although known to have antibacterial effect, has not been used in current drug research. Optimization of the lead structure could enhance the utility of this compound. Hence citral was modified using natural amino acids to produce the Schiff’s base, a potential pharmacophore and the corresponding amines. In this study, we report the synthesis of 9 S...

Palm sugar is a product made from the sap of lontar tree flowers. Palmira Indonesia has started to develop palm products in form powder and drinks. The addition lemongrass stalks can be used as an alternative improve characteristics. This study aims determine effect adding obtain sensory characteristics herbal drink. research was conducted using completely randomized experimental design with pr...

Aquaponics is the integration of farming fish with plants where excreted nutrients from are taken up by plants. Thus, aquaponics may enhance aquaculture sustainability and productivity. In this study, largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides juveniles were cultured in a recirculating system (RAS) or aquaponic for two months. Each was identical, but within system, lemongrass spring onion without gr...
