“…As many essential oils have anti-microbial properties, many researches have been conducted to use them as alternative for antibiotics (Schelz et al, 2006;Santurio et al, 2007;Karadas et al, 2013;Shapiro et al, 2013;Bravo et al, 2014). The correct combination of essential oils can exhibit greater responses than when individual components are used alone, so in other word they express synergy (Deriu et al, 2008;Horosova et al, 2012;Shapiro et al, 2013;Bravo et al, 2014).…”

Effects of <i>in Ovo </i>Injection and Inclusion a Blend of Essential Oils and Organic Acids in High NSPs Diets of Broiler Breeders on Performance of Them and Their Offspring

et al. 2016

Two factorial completely randomized design trials 2×2 and 2×2×2 were conducted to evaluate the effect of a blend of essential oils and organic acids (Biacid TM ) in broiler breeder diets at two levels, two dietary non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) levels and in ovo injection of Biacid TM on their progenies performance, respectively. 240 broiler breeders of Ross 308 strain were fed from the age of week 44 th for 12 weeks in four groups. 120 produced eggs from each group were divided in two groups of 60 eggs for injecting by 0.5 ml of Biacid TM or distilled water. Injection was done during transferring from setter to hatcher in day 18 th of incubation. Twenty-five cockerels from each of 8 treatments were housed into separate pens. Using Biacid TM and high NSPs in broiler breeders' ration affected hatchability, embryo mortality, weight of day old chicks and progenies' carcass yield significantly (p＜0.05) whereas in ovo injection of Biacid TM did not show significant effects in this regards (p≥0.05). Offspring's abdominal fat was neither affected by broiler breeders' rations nor in ovo injection of Biacid TM (p≥0.05). Biacid TM and high NSPs content in broiler breeders' ration affected all primary and secondary humoral immune responses of progenies against sheep red blood cells (p＜0.05). In ovo injection of Biacid TM increased the primary IgG, primary IgT and secondary IgG responses (p＜0.05). The interaction of the effects of Biacid TM and high NSPs in broiler breeders' ration and also in ovo injection of Biacid TM affected progenies' weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and European production index significantly (p＜0.05). It seems that using Biacid TM in broiler breeders' diet can modify the undesirable effects of high NSPs content of breeders' ration on performance of their offspring.

“…Hydrodistillation of essential oil from Inula helenium was conducted. S. epidermidis was found to be inhibited by the oil (MIC = 3700 ppm, MIC of streptomycin = 60 ppm); alantolactone and isoalantolactone were reported as the main constituents [131].…”

SynopsisBody malodour, including foot odour, suppresses social interaction by diminishing self-confidence and accelerating damage to the wearer's clothes and shoes. Most treatment agents, including aluminium anti-perspirant salts, inhibit the growth of malodourous bacteria. These metallic salts also reduce sweat by blocking the excretory ducts of sweat glands, minimizing the water source that supports bacterial growth. However, there are some drawback effects that limit the use of aluminium anti-perspirant salts. In addition, over-the-counter anti-perspirant and deodourant products may not be sufficiently effective for heavy sweaters, and strong malodour producers. Body odour treatment agents are rarely mentioned in the literature compared with other cosmetic ingredients. This review briefly summarizes the relationship among sweat, skin bacteria, and body odour; describes how odourous acids, thiols, and steroids are formed; and discusses the active ingredients, including metallic salts and herbs, that are used to treat body odour. A new class of ingredients that function by regulating the release of malodourants will also be described. These ingredients do not alter the balance of the skin flora. Ré suméLes mauvaises odeurs corporelles, y compris celles des pieds, atté-nue l'interaction sociale en diminuant la confiance en soi et favorisant des dommages aux vêtements et aux chaussures portés. La plupart des agents inclus dans les traitements, y compris les sels d'aluminium antiperspirants, inhibent la croissance de bactéries malodorantes. Ces sels métalliques réduisent aussi la sueur en bloquant les canaux excréteurs des glandes sudoripares, réduisant ainsi au minimum l'eau, source de la croissance bactérienne. Cependant, il y a quelques inconvénients qui limitent l'utilisation de sels d'aluminium anti-transpirants. De plus, les produits antiperspirants et déodorants OTC peuvent ne pas être suffisamment efficaces pour des personnes produisant une grande quantité de sueur et producteurs de fortes odeurs. Les agents actifs sur les Odeurs corporelles sont rarement mentionnés dans la littérature comparativement à d'autres Ingrédients cosmétiques. Cette revue récapitule brièvement la relation entre la Sueur, les bactéries cutanées et l'odeur corporelle; elle décrit comment des acides odorants, des thiols, et des stéroïdes sont formés; et examine les principes actifs, y compris les sels métalliques et les végétaux utilisés pour traiter l'odeur corporelle. Une nouvelle classe d'ingrédients dont la fonction est de réguler la libération de mauvaises odeurs est également décrite. Ces ingrédients ne modifient pas l'équilibre de la flore cutanée.

“…A literature survey revealed that Inula plants are rich source of biologically active compounds, mainly sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, and triterpenoids (Seca et al, 2014;. Surprisingly, the information on essential oil composition of Inula species is scarce and only few biological activities have been reported -antibacterial (Deriu et al, 2008;Priydarshi et al, 2016), antifungal (Chauhan and Saxena, 1985;Haoui et al, 2016), and influence of I. helenium essential oil on electroencephalographic activity of the human brain (Sowndhararajan et al, 2016). Inula aschersoniana Janka is a species with areas of distribution in Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, and Turkey (The Global Species, 2009).…”

Chemical composition of volatile extract from Inula aschersoniana Janka var. aschersoniana growing in Bulgaria

The chemical composition of the volatile oil of Inula aschersoniana was studied by GC and GC-MS. Forty-five constituents representing 92.9% of the total oil were detected. The oil contained fatty acids (55.2%) and alkanes (14.1%), followed by oxygenated monoterpenes (9.6%), sesquiterpenoids (7.1%) and aromatic compounds (4.5%). It is characterized by relatively low content of terpenoids in total 16.7% only of which linalool (2.1%) and τ-cadinol (2.2%) were the dominant components in this class of compounds. Cluster analysis (CA) was used for determination of the relationship between the species in Inula verbascifolia aggregate.
