“…Most of the compounds identified in Citrus peel oils were found to be hydrocarbons in nature (Ayoola et al, 2008). The major constituents of Citrus peel oils investigated by Vekiari et al, (2002) (Pavithra et al, 2009). D-limonene, linalool or citral are major attributors for the antimicrobial capacity of Citrus peel oils.…”

Citrus essential oils were extraction from hydro distillation technique yielding Citrus oil with reasonable yield. Phytochemical screening of all five Citrus oils showed that alkaloids, tannins, sterols, terpenoids, saponoins, flavonoids were present (50-80%). GC/MS analysis showed highest percentage of limonene (58-89%) in Citrus oils. Antioxidant study revealed that Citrus peel oils have strong scavenging activity (83%-91%). Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by agar well method against eight common pathogens depicted marked antimicrobial potential especially tangerine (4.9-1.9 cm inhibition zones) and grapefruit oil (4.5-1.2 cm) inhibition zones. The studies emphasized the therapeutic and commercial utilization of Citrus peel essential oils as food preservatives, phytomedicine and antioxidant agent.

“…Some compounds of the essential oil from the bark and leaf of I. laurina obtained in the rainy season have been reported in the literature for their recognized antimicrobial properties, such as (Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol (15) and linalool (2) [42], and lauric (20), linoleic (23) and palmitoleic acid [35], (E)-nerolidol [43], palmitic acid (19) [44] and phytol (1) [45]. In the essential oil from leaves, nonacosane (16) accounted for 21.95% and although no antimicrobial property has been reported in the literature, it is possible that this compound could have contributed to the low MIC values obtained.…”

Abstract:The seasonal chemical composition of essential oils from Inga laurina was determined by GC/MS. In the stem bark's essential oil extracted during the dry season, the presence of terpenoids (30.05%) stood out, and phytol (9.76%) was the major compound identified. For the stem bark oil obtained during the rainy season, in addition to terpenoids (26.63%), a large amount of fatty acids (46.84%) were identified, in particular palmitic acid (25.40%). Regarding the leaves' essential oil obtained in the dry season, esters (42.35%) were the main components. The main ester present was (Z)-hex-3-enyl benzoate (10.15%) and the major compound of this oil was (Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol (14.23%). Terpenoids for aerobic bacteria, and high selectivity against bacteria was observed. The large amount of fatty acids in rainy season oils may be related to the better inhibitory effects observed.

“…The increasing failure of chemotherapeutics and antibiotic resistance exhibited by pathogenic microbial infectious agents, has led to the screening of several medicinal plants for their potential antibacterial activity. There are several reports in the literature regarding the antibacterial activity of plant extracts [12,13,14].…”
