“…Recently, it has been reported that chrysanthenyl acetate has an indirect antioxidant activity, increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes [129]. Apart from members of the Tanacetum genus [130][131][132][133][134], it also occurs in high concentrations in species such as Anthemis maritime [135], Lamium amplexicalule [136], Zieria cytisoides [137], and Allium neapolitanum [138]. A content of 100% (E)-chrysanthenyl acetate was reported in oil obtained from Anthemis secundiramea Biv.…”

Tanacetum parthenium L. (Asteraceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant with a long-standing historical use in traditional medicine. Recently Tanacetum parthenium L. essential oil has been associated with a promising potential for future applications in the pharmaceutical industry, in the cosmetics industry, and in agriculture. Investigations on the essential oil (EO) have indicated antimicrobial, antioxidant, and repellent activity. The present study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of Bulgarian T. parthenium essential oil from two different regions, to compare the results to those reported previously in the literature, and to point out some of its future applications. The essential oils of the air-dried flowering aerial parts were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The chemical composition was evaluated using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It was established that the oxygenated monoterpenes were the predominant terpene class, followed by the monoterpene hydrocarbons. Significant qualitative and quantitative differences between both samples were revealed. Camphor (50.90%), camphene (16.12%), and bornyl acetate (6.05%) were the major constituents in the feverfew EO from the western Rhodope Mountains, while in the EO from the central Balkan mountains camphor (45.54%), trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (13.87%), and camphene (13.03%) were the most abundant components.

“…These substances are also high in essential oil and have quite similar phytochemical and nutraceutical effects as plants of the Allium genus [ 24 , 25 ]. So far, although there have been numerous investigations on the chemical compositions and antimicrobial activity of Allium [ 26 , 27 ], there are only two studies on its chemical composition, and no literature on the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the essential oil from the Allium tenuissimum L. flowers [ 1 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

Allium tenuissimum L. as a kind of food condiment in northern China, is popular among more and more consumers owning to its special flavor from the flower. However, its composition has not been widely studied. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of essential oil from Allium tenuissimum L. flowers. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied to detect the chemical composition. The antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens was evaluated by measuring the zones of inhibition (ZOI), the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), and the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). The antioxidant effect was tested by the scavenging capacity on DPPH, ABTS+•, and •OH. The results of GC-MS showed that 72 volatile components were isolated and the structures 68 of them were identified, which comprised about 91.92% of the total composition of the oil. Among these compounds, terpenoid compounds and sulfurous compounds had the highest contents, especially dimethyl trisulfide. Our investigation demonstrated that the essential oil has better antimicrobial efficiency to Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus flavus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, the essential oil had a strong stability to UV. Furthermore, the essential oil exhibited a high radical-scavenging effect on DPPH, ABTS+•, and •OH, which is significant for application in the food industry. In conclusion, the essential oil could be used as an inexpensive and natural antibacterial and antioxidant agent in food.

“…22,23 In recent years, several scientific articles have been used and published that deal with new natural biocides, also obtainable from waste sources, which can prevent, reduce and destroy the various colonies of microorganisms that devastate the world's artistic heritage. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Cellulosic objects such as books stored in libraries, museums, and archives, are often affected by different colonies of bacteria such as Aspergillus, Fusarium, Bacillus, Trichoderma, Chaetomium, Memnoniella, Myrothecium, Stachybotrys, Verticillium, Alternaria, and Penicillium, which cause their deterioration. Additionally, the use of glues of animal and vegetable origin is a means of spreading bacterial growth.…”

In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Parentucellia latifolia (L.) Caruel collected in Central Sicily was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The results showed the presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, with germacrene D and germacrene B accounting, respectively, for 59.2% and 24.3% of the total oil. Different colonies of bacteria and fungi frequently affect cellulosic objects such as books stored in libraries and museums. The antibacterial and antifungal activity against some microorganisms infesting historical-artistic craftsmanship was determined, demonstrating that the essential oil was particularly active against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Proteus vulgaris.
