Our study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant properties, antibacterial and antifungal activities, anti-inflammatory chemical composition of essential oils (EOs), total phenol, flavonoid wild Mentha pulegium L. This also determined mineral (nutritional toxic) elements plant. The EOs were extracted using three techniques-hydro distillation (HD), steam (SD), microwave-assisted (MAD)-and analyzed chromatography coupled with flame ionization (GC-FID) gas attached mass spectrometry detector...

The current work is devoted to using essential oils isolated from two wild-growing plants of Matricaria chamomilla and Teucrium polium in resistance food spoilage, considering their antioxidant antibacterial activities. Hydro-distillation extraction (HD) method was used obtain gas chromatography–flame ionization detection chromatography–mass spectrometry were identify oils. Thus, the activity determined with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 2,2’-azino-bis...

Turgenia latifolia is a medicinal plant that has not been studied previously. This study explores the first determination of its chemical profile and biological activities. LC-ESI-MS/MS identified trans-ferulic acid as main compound in Et₂O extract (10.012 mg/g) chlorogenic EtOAc BuOH extracts (1.944 mg/g 3.539 mg/g, respectively). All exhibited greater reducing power than standards. The excelled DPPH (IC50 = 70.09 µg/mL, A0.5 0.83 µg/mL), while o-phenanthroline (A0.5 6.34 µg/mL) showed...

Abstract The green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using natural extracts offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods. In this study, we synthesized copper oxide (CuO NPs) propolis extract as a reducing agent, resulting in two variants: CuO A and B (calcined). UV-Vis spectroscopy confirmed successful synthesis, revealing distinct optical properties influenced by thermal treatment. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was performed identify bioactive compounds stabilizing the NPs,...
