the removal of disulfide oil (dso) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. the bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. the effects of humidity, time and dso concentration in soil was studied. the experimental results for the bioremediation of dso show, the removal...

This study evaluated the insecticidal activity of garlic, Allium sativum Linnaeus (Amaryllidaceae) essential oil and their principal constituents on Tenebrio molitor. Garlic essential oil, diallyl disulfide, and diallyl sulfide oil were used to compare the lethal and repellent effects on larvae, pupae and adults of T. molitor. Six concentrations of garlic essential oil and their principal const...

The ER (endoplasmic reticulum) has long been considered the plant cell compartment within which protein disulfide bond formation occurs. Members of the ER-located PDI (protein disulfide isomerase) family are responsible for oxidizing, reducing and isomerizing disulfide bonds, as well as functioning as chaperones to newly synthesized proteins. In the present study we demonstrate that an abundant...

background and objectives: ferula assa-foetida (asafoetida) is a native iranian species which grows in different regions and climates in iran. the plant is well known in iranian traditional medicine as well as folk medicine for treatment of diseases. several studies have been carried out on the essential oil of this species collected from different areas of iran. this study is the first report ...

chemical composition of the essential oil of the fruit of ferula assafoetida l. obtained by steam distillation solvent extraction methodhas been studied by gc/ms for the first time. fifty-four components, comprising 96.9% of the total oil, were identified.epi-α-cadinol (23.15 %), germacrene b (10.98 %), α-gurjunene (6.18 %), (z)-1-propenyl secbutyl disulfide (5.89 %), 5-epi-7-epi-α-eudesmol (4....

The capacities to inhibit coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity of human cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) by organosulfur compounds were evaluated. Five dialkyl sulfides and five dialkyl disulfides, with alkyl chains from methyl to amyl, were examined. In addition to these chemicals, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide, allyl n-propyl sulfide, allyl phenyl sulfide, diphenyl sulfide, ...

in this experiment, the chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from ferula assa-foetida oleo-gum resin collected from two different sites of yazd province (tabas and yazd) in the center of iran, were identified. the gas chromatography mass-spectroscopy (gc/ms) data showed that the qualitative composition of the components appeared to be constant in two different regions. moreover, ...

The gas chromatography mass-spectroscopy (GC/MS) data showed that the qualitative composition of the components appeare...

Chives, a member of the Alliaceae family, have been used in food and medicine in Thailand for a long time. Diallyl sulfides (diallyl monosulfide, dially disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, and diallyl tetrasulfide) are believed to be responsible for the antimicrobial activity of plants in this family. In this study, chive oil was examined for its diallyl sulfide content and its antimicrobial activit...
