“…The 1,8-Cineloe was found as a major chemical composition in the essential oil of A. krervanh (Diao et al 2014). Many studies demonstrated the biological activities of Amomum species including antibacterial activity and insecticidal activity (Mathew et al 2003;Pulbutr et al 2012;Satyal et al 2012;Singtothong et al 2013;Diao et al 2014;Chen et al 2018). Additionally, the ethanolic extract of A. krervanh showed the antimicrobial activity on Paenibacillus larvae which is the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees (Chaimanee et al 2017) the most serious bacterial disease of honeybees.…”

Tropilaelaps spp. mites are considered a major parasite of honeybees. In this study, essential oils (EOs) of 11 plant species were evaluated for acaricidal activity under laboratory and field conditions. Five adult mites per petri dish and ten adult worker bees per plastic cup cage were exposed to different concentrations of each essential oil (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0% (v/v)). The essential oil of Piper betle (betel) showed the highest acaricidal activity in laboratory testing. Additionally, most EOs showed low toxicity to adult honeybees in a lab assay. Piper betle , Amomum krervanh , and Zanthoxylum limonella were then tested in whole colonies using cardboard strips soaked in 10 mL of each essential oil at various concentrations, every week for 4 weeks. Amomum krervanh at 10% (v/v) and P. betel at 5.0% (v/v) decreased mite populations after 30 days. We further tested grease and a sponge as application methods to deliver A. krervanh , with no significant impact on mites. Although several essential oils demonstrated acaricidal activity against Tropilaelaps under laboratory conditions, the EOs tested did not significantly reduce mites under colony conditions. Therefore, the concentration and colony delivery methods of these promising EOs warrant further investigation.Tropilaelaps / acaricidal activity / LC 50 / Apis mellifera / Piper betle / Amomum krervanh

“…In addition, the leaf essential oil showed significant antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and Aspergillus fumigates (Mathew et al, 2006). The essential oil from A. uliginosum fruit displayed antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus (Pulbutr et al, 2012). The essential oil of A. tsao-ko exerted the strongest bactericidal activity against S. aureus (Yang et al, 2008;Li et al, 2011;Guo et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition, the biological activities of essential oils from other species of Amomum have been reported. These activities includes larvicidal (Chansang et al, 2018;Cotchakaew & Soonwera, 2018;Govindarajan et al, 2018), antimicrobial (Supriya & Wakode, 2010;Noumi et al, 2018), antimutagenic (Pulbutr et al, 2012), cytotoxic (Yang et al, 2010;Pulbutr et al, 2012) and antioxidant (Yang et al, 2010).…”

This paper described the chemical compositions and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils from the leaves and stem of Amomum rubidumLamxay & N. S. Lý, collected from Bidoup Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong, Vietnam. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodisitllation method while antimicrobial activity was evaluetd by microdilution broth susceptibility assay. The main constituents of the leaf essential oil were identified as 1,8-cineole (37.7%), -3-carene (19.5%) and limonene (16.3%) while -3-carene (21.9%), limonene (17.8%) and β-phellandrene (14.6%) dominated in the stem essentialoil. The leaf and stem essential oils displayed stronger inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosawith MIC of 25 μg/mLand 50 μg/mLrespectively. The stem essential oil was active against Candida albicans(MIC, 50 μg/mL) while both essential oils inhibited the growth of Fusarium oxysporum(MIC 50 μg/mL). This is the first report on chemical constituents and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of A. rubidum.
