Nanotechnology has gained great interest due to its widespread application. Anticancer activity of Origanum majorana extract and silver nanoparticles was investigated by MTT assay using human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines (Capan-1), mouse normal fibroblast (L929), colon line (Caco-2). AgNPs@Om exhibited the excellent cytotoxic effect on Capan-1 with viability 29.17% 25.70%, 22.49%, 21.16...

Oxidative stability of chia seed oil enriched with oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium) extracts at different concentrations (600, 1200, 1800 ppm) was evaluated under accelerated oxidation conditions for 5 days. The total phenolic compounds antioxidant activity extract were higher than the extract. With decreasing increasing time, oxidative decreased significantly ( <...

Origanum vulgare L., the most complex and variable species of genus Origanum, is used to cure various diseases in traditional medicinal system. In current investigation, O. was collected from its natural origin further multiplied for two years at experimental farm DIBER field station, Auli, afterwards, it grown three different altitudes, i.e., station Auli (2744 m), Pithoragarh (1524 Haldwani (...

The objective of this study was to determine inhibitory activities of four volatile plant essential oils (cinnamon oil, fennel oil, origanum oil and thyme oil) on in vitro growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae causing Fusarium wilt of strawberry plants. Results showed that these essential oils inhibited in vitro conidial germination and mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. fragariae i...
