... The leaf tea of Hyptis crenata has its practical use in the Brazilian Amazon for treating gastrointestinal and liver disorders, sweating induction, and as an anti-inflammatory. Evaluation of the chemical composition, acute oral toxicity, and antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of the H. crenata essential oil. The essential oil was hydrodistilled and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The antin ...
... Brazil is the second-largest importer, after the United States, of extra-virgin olive oils with an internal production that just reaches 0.25 % of the volume imported and consumed. Information about diagnostic chemical signatures characterizing Brazilian oils is lacking, especially as related to geographical markers and key-aroma compounds distribution. This study fills this gap; by comprehensive ...
... The growth-promoting ability with the organic fertilizers especially humic substance-based products, it has caused their use to be considered. This research aimed to investigate the effect of foliar application of humic and fulvic acids on essential oil compositions and antioxidant activity of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and calculating the selectio ...
... The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of the synergistic antimicrobial effect of cineole (CN) and carvacrol (CR) on E. coli and its application on fresh-cut cucumbers. Herein, the CN/CR synergy could effectively inhibit E. coli by destroying its bacterial cell structure and causing the leakage of intracellular organic matters. For the first time, CN/CR synergy interaction on E. ...
... Transportation stress is considered the major cause of production and economic losses in aquaculture. Here, we examined the effects of dried ginger extract (GE) and 1,8-cineole (CIN) on juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) subjected to simulated transport by quantifying serum metabolites, antioxidant enzyme activity, and haematological features in conjunction with whole transcriptome a ...
... The development of safer and more sustainable solvents is an important discipline in the context of stricter regulations and environmental protection. This work demonstrates the sustainable synthesis of a potentially bio-based, inherently nonperoxide-forming ether solvent, namely, 2,5-diethyl-2,5-dimethyloxolane (DEDMO), in quantitative yields with high atom economy (97%) and reaction mass efficie ...
... This study aimed to determine the chemical composition and evaluate the acaricidal activity of essential oils (EOs) from Curcuma zedoaria and Alpinia zerumbet rhizomes against Rhipicephalus microplus in vitro. EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation and chemical characterization was performed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The acaricidal activity of each EO was firstl ...
... The effect of various amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg ha⁻¹) on yield and quality traits of Anatolian sage (Salvia fruticosa Mill.) were investigated under Turkey’s Eskişehir ecological conditions in 2016–2018. Except essential oil content, all parameters examined in this study increased significantly with nitrogen applications. While dry leaf yield increased signifi ...
... In nature, plants are constantly challenged by an array of drought episodes, which critically affect the distribution of the plants. The drought episodes might occur recurrently, so the plants endure drought by adjusting and shifting their metabolisms. The impacts of subjecting plants to drought stress have been widely investigated, but reports on how reiterated drought stress affects the plants a ...
... Basil (Ocimum basilicum, cv. Dolly) grew under three different light spectra (A, B, and C) created by light-emitting diode lamps. The proportions of UV-A, blue, and green-yellow wavelengths decreased linearly from A to C, and the proportions of red and far-red wavelengths increased from A to C. Photosynthetic photon flux density was 300 μmol m–² s–¹ in all spectra. The spectrum C plants had highes ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the present study was to assess the variations in chemical composition and biological activities of essential oil of Curcuma longa rhizome local cultivars collected from four varied altitudes and habitats of Kumaun and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand, India. The essential oil was collected from the rhizomes by hydrodistillation extraction using the Clevenger apparatus. Yields of essentia ...

Abstract:
... The genus Curcuma, composed of 93 species mainly originating from Asia, Australia, and South America, has been used for medicinal purposes, aromatic, and nutritional values as well as cosmetic. It plays a vital role in flavoring and coloring as well as exhibiting therapeutic agents against different diseases. Nepalese farmers are unaware of the essential oil compositions of Curcuma species, viz. C ...
... To investigate the flavor changes of Fuliji roast chicken during processing and storage, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during processing (fresh, fried, stewed and sterilized) and storage (1 month, 2 months and 4 months) were determined by gas chromatography ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). A total of 47 kinds of VOCs were identified across seven sampling stages, including aldehydes, hyd ...

... Hyptis dilatata and Mesosphaerum suaveolens belong to Lamiaceae, are aromatic and medicinal subshrubs with antiparasitic potential and occurrence in the Amazon Region. The essential oils of both species were extracted, analyzed, and identified by GC and GC–MS and then evaluated their anthelmintic activities against the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Primary constituents of the samples of H. dila ...
... Portuguese lavenders remain undervalued in global markets due to the lack of high-quality end-products and scarcity of scientific-based studies validating their bioactive potential. Moreover, chemical variability is frequent in these species, and can compromise both safety and efficacy. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory potential of L. luisieri and L. pedunculata, two highly prevalent sp ...
... Oral candidiasis is a fungal infection caused mainly by Candida albicans and it is a major problem among hematologic malignancy patients. Biofilm formation is an attributable factor to both virulence and drug resistance of Candida species. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biofilm-producing ability of oral C. albicans isolates and to evaluate the inhibitory activity of eucalyptol on Candida ...
... Amomum Tsaoko Crevost et Lemarie is a kind of spices and traditional Chinese medicines with great commercial value.
