“…Sample F (North India) can also be attributed to the α-bisabolol oxide A/matricin type (though also rich in α-bisabolol oxide B), which is apparently common for this region [33] as well as the Ganges plains [34]. Sample B (South Africa) might represent the αbisabolol oxide B/matricin type, whereas sample C (Serbia) could be an example of Schilcher's Type D, which is prevalent in this geographical region [35,36]. Sample D (India) might also be attributed to Type D, even though it is also rich in α-bisabolone oxide and poor in chamazulene.…”

The essential oil of Matricaria chamomilla L., which is commonly used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes, can be differentiated between several chemotypes. In the current study, six essential chamomile oil samples of various origins (four of commercial sources, one of cultivation, one of wild collection) were examined regarding their composition and biological activities, i. e., antibacterial, antifungal, mosquito repellent, and larvicidal effects. GC-MS analyses revealed that the samples largely varied in composition and could be attributed to various chemotypes. In contrast to the other two samples, the four commercial samples were unusually high in trans-β-farnesene. The overall antimicrobial effects were only moderate, but it could be shown that a higher content in α-bisabolol and a smaller in α-bisabolol oxides A and B had a positive effect on overall activity. All samples had a biting deterrent effect comparable to DEET. Higher concentrations of (Z )- and (E )-spiroethers improved larvicidal activity, whereas trans-β-farnesene had the opposite effect. In conclusion, the importance of α-bisabolol for the biological activity of chamomile essential oil could be demonstrated.

“…However, in terms of their relative percentages, quite significant differences can sometimes be noticed. Their causes result primarily from the genetic diversity of plants, but they can also have a technological character [17]. Mentone and menthol accounted for more than 60% of the total content in our research.…”

Spectroscopic Examination and Chemometric Analysis of Essential Oils Obtained from Peppermint Herb (Mentha piperita L.) and Caraway Fruit (Carum carvi L.) Subjected to Pulsed Electric Fields

et al. 2019

In the food industry, the pulsed electric field (PEF) technique is used to support the process of extraction of various substances. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a number of PEF pulses applied to peppermint and caraway on both the content of essential oils (EO) and their spectroscopic properties. The examined herb species were placed in a special vessel in the working chamber of the device between two electrodes providing high voltage electric pulses. The pulses were delivered 0, 150, 250, and 350 times per a studied sample of each herb. Essential oils were then obtained by way of hydrodistillation. The infrared spectra for all samples were measured using an FTIR spectrometer in the spectral range of 3700–730 cm−1. The applied electric field of a predetermined number of pulses had no significant effect on the amount of distilled essential oil from caraway fruit, while in the case of peppermint, it caused a slight decrease in relation to the raw material not subjected to PEF exposure. It was found that the analysis of infrared spectra made it possible to compare the quality of the obtained oils with each other and to pre-determine their compositions.

“…In the present study, 27Á87% and 16Á11% of bisabolol oxide A and (Z)-b-farnesene was found, respectively. bfarnesene (29Á8%), a-farnesene (9Á3%) and a-bisabolol and its oxide (15Á7%) were previously reported (Stanojevic et al 2016), while a-bisabolol (2Á41%) was reported by Savikin et al (2012). Chamazulene (61Á3%), isopropyl hexadecanoate (12Á7%), trans-trans-farnesol (6Á9%), E-bfarnesol (5Á2%), Z,E-farnesol (4Á8%), a-bisabolol (2Á0%) and a-bisabolol oxide A (1Á7%) Antifungal activities were reported by Jamalian et al (2012).…”

Aims Wood as a packing tool is used for packaging and transportation of fruits and vegetables for a time period varying from hours to days. During transportation, fruits and vegetables can be affected by moulds with significant postharvest problems. The present study describes the possibility of using wood‐treated oil fungicide of n‐hexane extracts from Eucalyptus camaldulensis (aerial parts), Vitex agenus‐castus (leaves) and Matricaria chamomilla (flowers) against the infestation of Fusarium culmorum, Rhizoctonia solani and Penicillium chrysogenum. Methods and Results Air‐dried wood samples of Melia azedarach were prepared with the dimensions of 0·5 × 1 × 2 cm and treated with the oily extracts at the concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 3%. Oils extracted with n‐hexane from E. camaldulensis and V. agenus‐castus showed promising antifungal activities against the isolated and molecularly identified three fungi F. culmorum, R. solani and P. chrysogenum, while M. chamomilla observed the lowest activity against the studied fungi. GC/MS analysis of oils reported that the major components in E. camaldulensis were β‐fenchol (25·51%), Cyclobuta[1,2:3,4]dicyclooctene‐1,7(2H,6bH)‐dione,dodecahydro,(6αβ,6βα,12αα,12ββ)‐ (17·05), 1,8‐cineole (eucalyptol) (12·01%) and sabinene (9·45%); in V. agenus‐castus were eucalyptol (22·17%), (E)‐β‐caryophyllene (18·39%), and β‐sitosterol (12·44%); while in M. chamomilla were bisabolol oxide A (27·87%), (Z)‐β‐farnesene (16·11%), D‐limonene (14·18%) and chamazulene (11·27%). Conclusions The results suggest using n‐hexane oily extracts from E. camaldulensis and V. agenus‐castus as a biofungicide for wood protection. Significance and Impact of the Study This study highlights the importance of using bio‐friendly fungicide agents to protect wood against most common moulds occurring during handling of food packaging.
