“…Several studies have investigated the action of essential oils on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, indicating that they are more active against Gram-positive bacteria [5]. Accordingly, we found that Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus and L. monocytogenes) were more susceptible to treatment than Gram-negative bacteria.…”

In this study, the essential oils extracted from the peels of Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus limon and Citrus sinensis were chemically characterized and quantified. These essential oils and their standards limonene, citral and limonene + citral were evaluated (at concentrations ranging from 500 to 3.91 mL·mL −1 ) regarding their anti-trypanosome, antifungal and antibacterial activities. The chemical identification and quantification (by GC/FID and GC/MS) displayed the limonene as the major component of the three essential oils. It did not verified antitrypanosome activity for all treatments. Regarding antimicrobial activity, the results were satisfactory against Gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria. monocytogenes and Salmonella cholerasuis) and funghi (Aspergillus niger, A. flavus and A. carbonarius), except for the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which showed no inhibition for any treatment used.

“…An alternative to reduce the microorganism growth is using essential oils with antifungal and antibacterial properties [4][5][6][7]. It has been reported that the antimicrobial properties of essential oils are due to hydrophobic characteristic of the chemical constituents of their composition [8].…”

“…It has antimicrobial properties (Croteau et al, 2000) as reported for Zingiber officinale (ginger). This compound is the most prevalent in the essential oil of Z. officinale and has exhibited significant activity against some Gram-positive and Gram negative bacteria (Andrade et al, 2012). Antibacterial and antifungal properties are attributed to the other compounds, such as E-caryophyllene and germacrene-D Veiga-Júnior and Pinto, 2002).…”

The essential oils are extracted from plant compounds and can present activities antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The goals of the present study were: (a) to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil of Guarea kunthiana A. Juss using the method of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS); (b) to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of this oil using the broth microdilution method against different microorganisms: five Gram-negative bacteria, four Gram-positive bacteria and a yeast and (c) to determine the antioxidant activity of the oil using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical assay. The GC-MS analyses allowed identifying 13 constituents, representing 96.52% of the essencial oil composition. The main compounds identified were α-zingiberene (34.48%), β-sesquiphellandrene (22.90%), and α-curcumene (16.17%). With respect to the antimicrobial activity, the essential oil was effective against all the microorganisms tested, except for the bacteria E. coli and K. pneumoniae, which were resistant to the action of the oil. From a general point of view, Gram-positive bacteria were more susceptible to the action of the essential oil than Gram-negative bacteria. The essential oil exhibited antioxidant potential.Keywords: Guarea kunthiana, essential oil, chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, antioxidant. Composição química, potencial antimicrobiano e antioxidante do óleo essencial de Guarea kunthiana A. Juss ResumoOs óleos essenciais são compostos extraídos de plantas e podem apresentar propriedades antimicrobianas e antioxidantes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi (a) determinar a composição química do óleo essencial de Guarea kunthiana A. Juss pelo método de cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG-EM); (b) avaliar o potencial antimicrobiano deste óleo pelo método de microdiluição em caldo frente a diferentes micro-organismos, sendo cinco bactérias Gram-negativas, quatro Gram-positivas uma levedura e (c) por fim, determinar a atividade antioxidante do óleo pelo método de captura do radical livre 2,2-difenil-1-picril hidrazil (DPPH). As análises de CG-EM resultaram na identificação de 13 constituintes, representando 96,52% da composição do óleo essencial. Os principais compostos identificados foram α-Zingibereno (34,48%), β-Sesquifelandreno (22,90%) e α-Curcumeno (16,17%). Em relação à atividade antimicrobiana, o óleo essencial foi efetivo frente a todos os micro-organismos testados exceto para as bactérias E. coli e K. pneumoniae, as quais se apresentaram resistentes à ação do óleo. Em geral, as bactérias Gram-positivas foram mais suscetíveis à ação do óleo essencial em relação às Gram-negativas. O óleo essencial apresentou potencial.Palavras-chave: Guarea kunthiana, óleo essencial, composição química, atividade antimicrobiana, antioxidante.

“…The different plant species are adapted to a huge variation in the intensity and quantity of light incidence (GOBBO NETO; LOPES, 2007). Andrade et al (2012), when examining the antioxidant capacity of the essential oils of Cymbopogon nardus (citronella grass), Cinnamomum zeylanicum (true cinnamon), and Zingiber officinale (ginger), using the same methodology of this research obtained the results below. For the citronella grass, the inhibitory concentration value was 517.4 ppm and significant antioxidant activity was not observed for the essential oils of true cinnamon and ginger.…”

“…Ruberto and Baratta (2000), in their work with approximately 100 compounds that compose the essential oils, found that, in general, their antioxidant activity may be relevant when associated with phenolic components, followed by the oxygenated constituents and allyl alcohols present in their composition. However, many studies have reported the antioxidant properties of essential oils, referring to them as potential substitutes for synthetic antioxidants and, in some cases, suggesting them to a direct application in food, farming, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products (ANDRADE et al, 2012).…”
