“…Based on these results it can be assumed that antimicrobial activity of investigated essential oils is mainly caused by major constituents, but effect of some minor compounds can not be excluded. The results obtained also proved the statement for probable synergistic effect among major and minor essential oil constituents (4,7). Antimicrobial activity of eugenol is slightly higher than antimicrobial activity of thymol and carvacrol.…”

“…It is well known that antimicrobial activity of essential oils depends mainly on its chemical composition (2,4,7). Chemical composition of the studied essential oils was evaluated earlier and thymol was determined as the major constituent of thyme oil -43.4% (4).…”

“…Antimicrobial activity of eugenol is slightly higher than antimicrobial activity of thymol and carvacrol. Antimicrobial activity of pure compounds depends on its chemical structure (2)(3)(4)7). Increasing the number of double bounds and hydroxyl groups increased antimicrobial activity of the volatile compounds (2).…”

“…Currently essential oils isolated from the aerial parts of spices, belonging to the genera Thymus, Origanum and Satureja (Lamiaceae) are widely applied in foodflavoring, pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics (12)(13)(14)19). Many papers discussed antimicrobial activity of oregano oil (Origanum vulgare), savory oil (Satureja montana), thyme oil (Thymus vulgaris) and pimento oil (Pimenta dioica) (1,(3)(4)(5)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)20). It is very difficult to compare the published results, because different techniques for antimicrobial testing are applied and different test microorganisms are used (11).…”

Antimicrobial activity of essential oils from Origanum vulgare, Satureja montana, Thymus vulgaris, Pimenta dioica and its major constituents against spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms isolated from meat products was evaluated. Among used test microorganisms Pseudomonas aeruginosa demonstrated the highest resistance and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated the highest susceptibility to all of the studied essential oils. It was determined that antimicrobial activity of essential oils depended mainly on total content of carvacrol, thymol and eugenol in oil samples. Antimicrobial activity of essential oils decreased parallel to decreasing of carvacrol, thymol and eugenol content. The highest activity demonstrated the oil from O. vulgare, followed by P. dioica, S. montana and T. vulgaris. The studied essential oils from spices were prospective natural antimicrobial for application in food industry for partial replacement of synthetic antimicrobials in meat products.

“…Salvia dominica and S. officinalis inhibited the growth of C. albicans, but Salvia spinosa showed no activity against this yeast [26]. The EO of other Salvia species was previously shown to have antifungal activity against various Candida species [27,28]. In one report from Turkey, the MIC ranged from 3.12 to 25 mg/ml and as the authors reported " all the extracts exhibited a strong antifungal effect against the fungal cultures" [30].…”

Background: Systemic fungal infections due to pathogenic yeasts are increasing in high-risk patients, and a need is emerging for novel antifungal agents with potent inhibitory activity toward a wide range of pathogenic fungi. In this study we investigated the composition and antifungal activity of the essential oil of Salvia officinalis (Lamiaceae) against standard species of Candida and compared the results with commercial antifungal agents. Methods: The aerial parts of Saliva officinalis were collected in May 2011. The essential oil was extracted and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The susceptibility profiles of different Candida species were determined by micro broth dilution assays with oil extracts and a panel of antifungal agents. Results: The minimum inhibitory concentrations of essential oil extracts against C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei (standard species), C. albicans and C. glabrata (isolated from patients) were 15.6, 3.9, 31.3, 31.3 and 1.9 µg/ml, respectively. Chemical analysis of the essential oil revealed the presence of 40 components that made up 99.58% of the total composition. Cineole, borneol, α-thujone, ledene, β-pinene, α-humulene and trans-caryophyllene were the major components of the oil. Conclusion:The oil extract of Salvia officinalis showed good antifungal activity, and could serve as a natural alternative to synthetic fungicides for the control of some important fungal diseases.

In the present work, the essential oils and volatiles from flowers, leaves, and stems of Salvia limbata obtained using microwave-assisted hydrodistillation, solvent-free microwave extraction, headspace-assisted analysis, and headspace-solid phase microextraction have been characterized for the first time. The results have been also compared with those from traditional separation techniques involving hydrodistillation and steam distillation. Regardless of some common compounds in all of the profiles, some dissimilarities were noted due to the use of different extracting approaches. Taking into account the chemical categories, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were found as the most represented group of natural compounds contributing to the chemical profiles. It was also noted that the methanol extracts obtained from the flowers of Sal. limbata showed a desirable antioxidant activity, comparable to the standard antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene. Furthermore, using the disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods, all the tested bacteria demonstrated weak to moderate and moderate to strong sensibilities to the MeOH extracts obtained from different plant parts of Sal. limbata.
