Chemical composition of the essential oil and supercritical CO2 extracts of Zataria multiflora Boiss

Chemoprotective Effects of Zataria multiflora Against Genotoxicity Induced by Cyclophosphamide in Mice Bone Marrow Cells

“…[6][7][8] Chemical analysis of Zataria showed that it has several phenolic compounds such as thymol, hydroxyl benzoic acid, and cymene. [15][16][17] Previously, we showed that administration of hawthorn extract containing high amounts of flavonoid and phenolic compounds reduced genotoxicity induced by CP in mouse bone marrow cells, showing potent antioxidant activity. 5 Zataria extract showed potent radical scavenging properties using the DPPH method; it also inhibited lipid peroxidation.…”

A review of the relaxant effect of various medicinal plants on tracheal smooth muscle, their possible mechanism(s) and potency

“…It is a bushy, woody-based evergreen subshrub with small, highly aromatic, grey-green leaves and clusters of purple or pink flowers that bloom in early summer (Brickell, 2008). The main active constituents of T. vulgaris include terpenes; phenols; thymol; carvacrol; terpenoids; glycosides of phenolic monoterpenoids; eugenol and aliphatic alcohols; flavonoids such as thymonin, cirsilineol as well as 8-methoxycirsilineol; biphenyl compounds of monoterpenoid origin; caffeic and rosmarinic acids; and saponins (Ebrahimzadeh et al, 2003). T. vulgaris has been shown to have different therapeutic effects such as antiseptic, carminative, antimicrobial, antioxidant (Baranauskiene et al, 2003), antifungal (Llewellyn et al, 1981), antibacterial (Janssen et al, 1987;Juven et al, 1994) and antibiotic effects (Wichtl, 1989).…”

Hybrid fuzzy plus PID controller of hydro-diffusion steam distillation essential oil extraction system: Design and performance evaluation

“…There are several extraction techniques such as steam distillation [2,5,8,15], hydro distillation [2,8,16], supercritical fluid extraction [13], soxhlet extraction [17], supercritical carbon dioxide [2,8], solvent extraction [15,18] and microwave assisted distillation [2,3]. Among all, steam distillation is the most popular due to operational cost, cleanliness, system cost, productivity and maintenance cost [18].…”

“…It is multi-component chemicals that will produce a product that is highly aromatic and more concentrated than the original plant [2]. Essential oils has a wide range of uses and promises various significant benefits to human and industry such as in aromatic and fragrances [5][6][7], medical activities [3,8,9], as insect repellents and pesticides [10][11][12], cosmetics [11,13], as a natural additive for food flavouring [4,14], and pharmaceutical industries [1-3, 5, 11].…”
