The in vitro antibacterial activity of essential oils (EOs) obtained from fresh bulbs garlic, Allium sativum L., and leek, porrum L. ( Alliaceae), was studied. A. (garlic) EO showed a good antimicrobial against Staphylococcus aureus (inhibition zone 14.8 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 21.1 Escherichia coli 11.0 whereas the (leek) had no activity. main constituents garlic were diallyl monosulfide, disulfide (DADS), trisulfide, tetrasulfide. characterized by presence dipropyl (DPDS), activities...
Abstract The composition of 21 essential‐oil samples isolated from Helichrysum italicum collected in seven locations Elba Island (Tuscany, Italy), characterized by different soil types, during three periods (January, May, and October 2010) was determined GC‐FID GC/EI‐MS analyses. In total, 115 components were identified, representing 96.8–99.8% the oil composition. oils a high content oxygenated monoterpenes (38.6–62.7%), while monoterpene sesquiterpene hydrocarbons accounted for 2.3–41.9...
Summary A number of herbal products with anti‐inflammatory, antiseptic and antimycotic properties are available for dermatological usage. The successful treatment 13 sheep affected by ringworm due to Trichophyton mentagrophytes a mixture consisting essential oils (EOs) Thymus serpillum 2%, Origanum vulgare 5% Rosmarinus officinalis in sweet almond ( Prunus dulcis ) oil. effectiveness EOs the major components (thymol, carvacrol, 1,8 cineole, α‐pinene, p‐cymene, γ‐terpinene) against fungal...
In the past few years, an increasing interest in volatile secondary metabolites of Hypericum perforatum L. (Guttiferae) has been arising.The present study is a contribution to better understand relationship between morphological variations and composition during phenological cycle.Leaves at stages vegetative, floral budding, flowering green capsule, buds, full opened flowers capsules were assayed for essential oil (EO) components by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID)...
Plant models offer a method to examine the efficacy of homeopathic solutions. Homeopathic Phosphorus (P) dynamizations were evaluated on linear growth and dry biomass Verbena gratissima, plant native Brazil. The yields chemical characterization essential oil are also given. Plants exhibited phenotypic plasticity after treatments. dynamization 9CH, in particular, interfered with growth, height, diameter stems total mass. 9CH treatment showed highest yield oil. composition V. gratissima varied...
In vitro plantlets and callus of M. longifolia were established their volatile constituents characterized by GC-MS analysis headspaces (HSs) essential oils (EOs). Significant quali-quantitative differences found in the aromatic fingerprints comparison with parent plants. fact, limonene carvone main EOs mother plants, while aroma plant material especially enriched oxygenated terpenes. particular, huge amounts piperitenone oxide (75 %) for plantlets, trans-carvone (19 trans-piperitone epoxide...
An amino-terminated butadiene–acrylonitrile copolymer was chemically modified into a maleim-ido-terminated rubber and used as toughening agent for an unsaturated polyester resin. The reactive characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. mechanical fracture properties of the blends containing unmodified rubbers were investigated. Furthermore, morphological analysis carried out scanning transmission electron microscopy. A substantial enhancement toughness found when in place plain...
Summary Polish cultivars of hop ( H umulus lupulus L.) are well known as aroma and bitter raw material in the brewing industry. To characterise four popular cultivars, Lubelski (Lublin), Marynka, Sybilla Iunga (also Junga), essential oil profiles were determined by gas chromatography/flame ionisation detector GC ‐ FID ) chromatography/chemical mass spectrometry CIMS alpha/beta acids amounts high‐performance liquid chromatography/diode array HPLC DAD analysis. In addition, multivariate...
