Essential oils (EOs) exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities; however, their clinical application is hindered by challenges, such as variability in chemical composition and chemical/physical instability. A critical limitation the lack consistency across EO samples, which impedes standardization. Despite this, evidence suggests that EOs with differing profiles often display similar (micro)biological activities, raising possibility standardizing based on effects rather than...
In recent years, natural compounds have gained attention in many fields due to their wide-range biological activity. particular, essential oils and associated hydrosols are being screened control plant pests, exerting antiviral, antimycotic antiparasitic actions. They more quickly cheaply produced generally considered safer for the environment non-target organisms than conventional pesticides. this study, we report evaluation of activity two corresponding obtained from Mentha suaveolens...
The antioxidant activity of essential oils (EOs) is an important and frequently studied property, yet it not sufficiently understood in terms the contribution EOs mixtures’ constituents biological properties. In this study, a series 61 commercial were first evaluated as antioxidants vitro, following closely possible cellular pathways reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Hence, assessed for ability either to chelate metal ions, thus interfering with ROS generation within respiratory...
A comparative study on essential oils extracted from Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. Italy is reported. Two extraction procedures were investigated: hydrodistillation and steam distillation, carried out as a continuous fractionated procedure. Fresh dried plant material two harvests was used. The method yielded higher amount of oil. significantly richer in oil per kg starting material. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis 112 samples showed that the belong to piperitenone oxide-rich...
The aim of the study was to investigate how essential oil production and associated chemical composition related biological activity could be influenced by different cultivation treatments distillation methods. Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (fennel), Origanum L. (oregano) Thymus vulgaris (thyme) were cultivated in absence any fertilizer (control) presence three fertilizers: a one with augmented mineral phosphorus potassium, second added hydrolyzed organic substance potassium (organic-mineral)...
Pharmacological properties of essential oils Pinus species are mainly associated with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory potencies. However, only limited scientific information has been gathered regarding the genotoxic antigenotoxic activities oils. Therefore, aim present study was to investigate in vitro DNA protective three commercial species: P. mugo, sibirica, silvestre, against oxidative damage induced by hydroxyl peroxyl radicals. The tested...
