In this work, essential oils (EOs) and hydrolates (Hys) of Rosmarinus officinalis L. Lavandula angustifolia Mill., grown in Tuscany (Italy), were studied to describe their chemical composition biological activities. The aromatic profile the EOs liquid phase was carried out by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), while volatile vapor Hys performed headspace (HS)/GC–MS. obtained results show that monoterpene hydrocarbons (71.5% 89.5%) main compounds, followed oxygenated monoterpenes...
In this study, the chemical composition of vapor and liquid phase Pinus cembra L., mugo Turra, Picea abies Abies Alba M. needles essential oils (EOs) was investigated by Headspace-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (HS-GC/MS). examined EOs, a total twenty-eight components were identified, most which belong to monoterpenes family. α-Pinene (16.6–44.0%), β-pinene (7.5–44.7%), limonene (9.5–32.5%), γ-terpinene (0.3–19.7%) abundant phase. Such major compounds also detected in all α-pinene...
Essential oils from Lavandula genus and the obtained hybrids are widely used for different purposes such as perfume production in cosmetic field its biological properties. This is first study on liquid vapour phase of × intermedia “Grosso” essential oil grown Lazio Region, Italy, investigated using headspace coupled to gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-GC/MS). The results showed most abundant components were linalool linalyl acetate, followed by 1,8-cineole terpinen-4-ol, while...

Recent scientific investigations have reported a number of essential oils to interfere with intracellular signalling pathways and induce apoptosis in different cancer cell types. In this paper, Lavandin Essential Oil (LEO), natural sterile hybrid obtained by cross-breeding L. angustifolia × latifolia, was tested on human leukaemia cells (HL60). Based the MTT results, reduced viability HL60 further investigated determine whether death related apoptotic process. treated for 24 h LEO were...
Lavandin essential oil (LEO), a natural sterile hybrid obtained by crossbreeding L. angustifolia × latifolia, is mainly composed active components belonging to the family of terpenes endowed with relevant anti-proliferative activity, which can be enhanced proper application nanotechnology. In particular, this study reports chemical characterization and screening activity on different human cell lines pure nano-formulated lavandin (EO).
