aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a clevenger-type apparatus respectively. the extract and volatile oil both were screened for antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, bacillus subtilis, klebsiella pncumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacillus pumilis) and...

A RAPIDLY growing body of evidence indicates that volatile anesthetics protect myocardium against reversible and irreversible ischemic injury. Identifying the mechanisms by which volatile agents mediate these antiischemic actions is the subject of intense research. This objective has been difficult to accomplish because volatile anesthetics also profoundly affect cardiovascular function. Volati...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Volatile sulfur compounds may be the main source of oral malodor. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between periodontal parameters and volatile sulfur compounds and to evaluate the improvement of several halitosis-related outcomes by tongue scraping, nonsurgical periodontal treatment (including oral hygiene instruction) and oral hygiene instruction/c...

Background: Brucella abortus is a gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium that can cause a highly contagious disease in sheep, goats, cattle and one-humped camels. It is responsible for one of the most important zoonosis in human. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Mentha piperita, Origanum majorana, Citrus lemon, Cinnamomum verum and Myristica fragrans essential volati...

One hundred and three volatile compounds were detected by solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in 30 ripened Serrano dry-cured hams, submitted or not to high pressure processing (HPP) and afterwards held for 5months at 4°C. The effect of ham physicochemical parameters and HPP (600MPa for 6min) on volatile compounds was assessed. Physicochemical parameters...

Szechuan peppers, famous for their unique sensation and flavor, are widely used as a food additive and traditional herbal medicine. Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Z. armatum are both commonly recognized as Szechuan peppers, but they have different tastes and effects. The chemical components, genetic characteristics, and suitable habitat of six cultivars were analyzed in this study. The results indic...
