[1] Disjunct eddy covariance in conjunction with continuous in-canopy gradient measurements allowed for the first time to quantify the fine-scale source and sink distribution of some of the most abundant biogenic (isoprene, monoterpenes, methanol, acetaldehyde, and acetone) and photooxidized (MVK+MAC, acetone, acetaldehyde, acetic, and formic acid) VOCs in an old growth tropical rain forest. Ou...

Food waste is one of the main topics various scientific studies last decade. In this regard, work analyzed an essential oil (EO) extracted from flavedo Citrus aurantium ‘Crispifolia’ fruit. The analysis, performed by GC-MS, showed a chemically variegated chromatogram characterized presence limonene (33.35%), but also oxygenated monoterpenes such as β-linalool (7.69%), α-terpineol (7.06%), and g...

Orange trees are widely cultivated in Mediterranean climatic regions where they are an important agricultural crop. Citrus have been characterized as emitters of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in chamber studies under controlled environmental conditions, but an extensive characterization at field scale has never been performed using modern measurement methods, and is particularly needed consi...

Recent evidence has suggested that heterogeneous chemistry of oxygenated hydrocarbons, primarily carbonyls, plays a role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA); however, evidence is emerging that direct uptake of alkenes on acidic aerosols does occur and can contribute to SOA formation. In the present study, significant uptake of monoterpenes, oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterp...

objective: this study is designed to extract and examine chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the hydro-distillated essential oil of murraya koenigii leaves from the south region of tamilnadu, india. matherials and methods: gas chromatography (gc) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) analysis of the essential oil result was indicates the 33 different compo...

The leaf essential oil yields of clementine, cypress, rosemary, tea, and thyme were 0.22, 0.87, 1.46, 1.20, 0.72%, respectively, based on the dry weight plant material. oils contained highest levels oxygenated monoterpenes (60.14-91.70%). Rosemary tea rich in 1,8-cineole (49.98% 57.55%, respectively), they have potent antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata strain (MIC = 5000 μg/ml). T...

The chemical composition of the essential oil of fruits of Pimpinella haussknechtiiBoiss.was studied by GC-MS. After GC-MS analysis, one unknown component (56.7%) was observed, which was not characterized in the GC-MS library. The essential oil of P.hauskenekhtii was injected to HPLC using YMC-Pak-Sil column (250 × 20 mm) with gradient system of hexane (A), and hexane: ethyl acetate, 9:1 (B) to...

Background & Aim: Essential oil of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) has many applications in food, perfume and pharmaceutical industries. The aim of this study was to determine the content and chemical constituents of pennyroyal essential oil growing wild in Southern Iran. Experimental: The aerial parts of the plant were collected around Hajiabad, Hormozgan province in 2013. The essent...
