“…In studies from Sri Lanka on the other major constituents of C zeylanicum , the following compounds were detected: β‐caryophyllene (4.1%), benzyl benzoate (3.0–4.01%), linalool (2.5%), eugenyl acetate (0.64–2.1%), and cinnamyl acetate (1.8%) . Moreover, ( E )‐cinnamaldehyde (25.0%), ( E )‐ethyl cinnamate (39.9%), and benzyl benzoate (20.5%) were reported in a study from the Republic of Benin, trans ‐β‐caryophyllene (5.38%), linalool (3.31%), and alcohol cinnamyl acetate (2.53%) were reported in studies from Brazil, camphor (15.2%) was reported in a study from Madagascar, and linalool (8.5%) and piperitone (3.31%) were reported in studies from India …”

“…In comparison with the levels of eugenol recorded in other regions of the world, the leaves of C zeylanicum from north and south India have been reported to contain 87.3 and 76.6% of eugenol. 722, 23 The quantity of eugenol in the leaves of C zeylanicum varied in other countries: Sri Lanka (74.9 and 76.74%), 10,21 Brazil (73.27%), 20 Madagascar (2.9%), 19 and the Republic of Benin (0.1%). 6 Moreover, no eugenol content was reported in plants of C zeylanicum in Iran, where a high level of cinnamaldehyde (97.38 and 78.74%) has been reported.…”

The hydrodistilled essential oil obtained from leaves of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (Lauraceae) collected throughout the year was examined using gas chromatography fitted with flame ionization detector (GC‐FID) and gas chromatography connected with mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The variation in essential oil yield was found to be in the range of 1.1–1.4% (w/w). Between 28 and 40 components, representing 97.92 ± 0.15% of the total oil, were identified. The chief compound was identified as eugenol, varying from 60.24 ± 0.42 to 89.82 ± 0.55%. The other constituents were eugenyl acetate (ranging from 0.10 ± 0.01 to 19.87 ± 0.52%), α‐phellandrene (ranging from 0.76 ± 0.04 to 6.23 ± 0.13%), benzyl benzoate (ranging from 0.91 ± 0.05 to 5.03 ± 0.20%), linalool (ranging from 1.11 ± 0.04 to 3.25 ± 0.08%), and β‐caryophyllene (ranging from 0.50 ± 0.01 to 2.92 ± 0.10%). The essential oils collected throughout the year were found to be rich in phenyl derivative constituents (88.49 ± 0.97%). The biosynthesis and conversion of eugenyl acetate to eugenol appeared as the leaves of C. zeylanicum reached maturity. It was noticed that when leaves were immature, in July and August during the full rainy season, the content of eugenyl acetate was found to be highest, as compared with mature leaves in the other months, with the exception of February (flowering season).

“…Food conservation is based on an intermittent search for foods that have high nutritional quality and microbial stability, and it involves controlling the growth/survival of spoiling and pathogen foodborne microorganisms. The improvement of the shelf-life of foods has an important economic impact by reducing losses attributed to spoilage and allowing the products to reach distant and new markets [2]. Nowadays, the excessive use of synthetic antimicrobial compounds in food manufacture as additive agents is well known, many of which are suspected for their residual toxicity [3].…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of nanofluid based on Mentha pulegium essential oil and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) against different bacterial species. The essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation using Clevenger and then ZnO NPs were added at the rates 0, 300, 500 and 1000 ppm to prepare nanofluids. The agar disk diffusion and micro-dilution methods were used to study the antibacterial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against B. cereus, S. aureus, S. entrica and E. coli was determined respectively 7.8, 3.9, 15.6 and 62.5 ppm for ZnO NPs. Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against the mentioned bacteria was respectively 15.6, 7.8, 31.2 and 125 ppm for ZnO NPs. S. aureus and E. coli were respectively the most and the least sensitive species. ZnO nanoparticles improved the antibacterial activity of M. pulegium essential oil which shows the potent application of the particles in different industries like food packaging, food and pharmaceutical systems.
