“…Those EOs were characterized by a medium/high amount of eucalyptol (18-14%), menthofuran (15-17%), and caryopyllene (12-16%). Agostini et al [26] studied the chemical characterization of EO extracted from M. aquatica collected in Brazil and reported that the EO chemical composition was dominated by menthofuran (53%), with a number of other minor compounds.…”

The chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant activity of Mentha (M.) requienii, M. pulegium L., and M. aquatica (L.) Huds from Sardinia, Italy, were tested. The chemical composition was determined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) analyses. The antiradical activity was assessed by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and antioxidant capacity assay (ABTS) assay and minimal inhibition concentration was determined by microdilution broth analysis. The major components found in M. requienii EO were pulegone, menthone, and limonene; similarly, the major components of M. pulegium EO were pulegone and iso-menthone. By contrast, the major components of the essential oil (EO) from M. aquatica are terpinyl acetate and eucalyptol. The antioxidant activity of M. aquatica EO was higher than that of M. requienii and M. pulegium. The EO from M. requienii had good antifungal and antioxidant activities. In the concentration range tested, the mint EOs did not show any antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus 20231 Deutsche SammLung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (DSMZ), Salmonella enterica subsp. bongori serovar 66:z41:-13772 DSMZ, and four strains of Listeria monocytogenes. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were not inhibited by the EOs tested, with the exception of Lactobacillus brevis, which showed slight sensitivity to M. pulegium and M. requenii EOs. Yeast strains were in general sensitive to the different Mentha EOs tested and were species and strain dependent.

Several volatile natural compounds produced by plant secondary metabolism have been proven to present antimicrobial action, enabling their use in phytopathogen control. They also present low environmental impact when compared to conventional pesticides. Essential oils contain these compounds and can be found in several plant species, such as Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E. Brown (Verbenaceae). Essential oils of four chemotypes of L. alba, characterized by their major compounds, namely camphor, citral, linalool and camphor/1,8-cineole, were tested against the phytopathogen Alternaria solani Sorauer (Pleosporaceae), which causes early blight on tomatoes and is responsible for great economic losses regarding production. Essential oils antifungal action was tested in vitro using potato dextrose agar medium with essential oil concentrations at 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 μL mL -1 . The chemotype that had the best performance was citral, showing signifi cant inhibition compared to the others, starting at the 0.5 μL mL -1 concentration. The essential oil belonging to the linalool chemotype was effi cient starting at the 1.5 μL mL -1 concentration.Conversely, the camphor chemotype did not show any action against the phytopathogen. Moreover, the essential oils had no remarkable effect on tomato germination and growth. In conclusion, these essential oils presented fungicidal action against A. solani.

“…In the The composition of essential oil of in the present study is different from those reported in recent studies. [2,10] The identical Botanical plant in fact can give more or less important different extracts, biochemical specificity and proprieties of some plants are varied in different regions. [11] In present study, results are compared with other previous studies and examined the similarities and the differences of this plant in different regions and with other species that belong to the same genus.…”
