HIGHLIGHTS Essential oil contents of T. spicata, L. X Intermedia, S. macrantha and R. officinalis was determined. The main components these plants were monoterpenoid spicata showed strong effects against three microorganisms.

there is a growing interest in food industry to replace the synthetic chemicals by the natural products with bioactive properties from plant origin. the aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of mentha pulegium essential oil and to characterize the antimicrobial activities of the essential oil. the essential oil of mentha pulegium was analyzed by gc-ms. the evaluation of th...

background: mentha longifolia is one of the aromatic medicinal plant belongs to lamiaceae family. there are some active ingredients in the essential oil of m. longifolia, which potentially could impair the hepatic function. the aim of this study was to find the maximum dose of essential oil of m. longifolia (eoml) that does not show any hepatic deterioration. methods: adult wistar rats fed diff...

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...

The aim of this research was to determine chemical composition and insecticidal activity of the essential oil of Illicium pachyphyllum fruits against two grain storage insects, Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum, and to isolate any insecticidal constituents from the essential oil. The essential oil of I. pachyphyllum fruits was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. A tota...

Background: Food preservation includes procedures to assure higher level of food safety, hygiene and stability. To achieve this goal, the use of combination biopreservatives, such as Essential oils and Probiotics, has gained increased attention. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of Mentha longifolia L. esential oil and Lactobacillus casei aginst Listeri...

Essential oils from aerial parts of Mentha spicata, was obtained by steam destillation using a Clevenger-type system. These oils were screened for antibacterial and anti-Candida albicans activity using bioautographic method. A fiel experiments was laid out in agricultural research farm, city Namin, Ardabil province, Iran in 2013. Experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block with seve...

The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method was used to evaluate genetic diversity and to assess genetic relationships within the section Mentha in order to clarify the taxonomy of several interspecific mint hybrids with molecular markers. To this end, genetic diversity of 62 Mentha accessions from different geographic origins, representing five species and three hybrids, was asses...
