“…The seed essential oil composition of A. danielli from Cameroon, Nigeria and S. Tome has been reported [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Similarly, volatile constituents of other Aframomum species grown in some regions of West and East Africa have been investigated [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Background: Aframomum danielli is used in ethno-medicine for the treatment of several ailments and as a traditional food spice. Methods: The hydro-distilled leaf, stem, seed, rhizome and pod volatile oils of A. danielli were subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Free radical scavenging capacity of the volatile oils was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Results: Thirty-nine (39) volatile compounds were identified in the oils of A. danielli, accounting for 85.33 to 96.03% of the total oil composition. The leaf, stem, rhizome and pod volatile oils were dominant in β-pinene (30.94–47.55%), while the seed oil contained a high amount of 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) (53.44%). The seed oil showed higher radical inhibitory activity in the DPPH assay (IC50 value, 45.5 µg/mL) and the rhizome oil was the most effective in the FRAP assay. Conclusions: The characterization of the leaf, stem, rhizome and pod volatile oils of A. danielli is reported for the first time. A. danielli seed and rhizome oils elicit promise as potential plant resource and warrant further biological exploitation.

Geranyl acetone and nerolidol have a broad spectrum of bioactivity, they exhibit, inter alia, olfactory, germicidal and antimicrobial properties. Twelve E/Z‐mixtures of analogues of geranyl acetone and nerolidol were examined for their odour and antimicrobial activity. Mixtures of analogues of geranyl acetone generally have a scent that is similar to the parent terpenoid, with interesting notes (violet, rose, fruity), while the odour of similar mixtures of nerolidol analogues was rather weak, floral, fresh and fruity. The odour thresholds and relative volatility factors were determined. The antimicrobial activity of products described in this paper, in comparison with nerolidol and geranyl acetone, was similar.

“…can be noticed. b-Pinene was also abundant (10 -50%) in the oils of A. angustifolium seeds [9], A. corrorima pods [13] [29], A. danielli fruits, leaves, and seeds [15] [16] [30], A. giganteum seeds [31] and leaves [18] [19], A. hanbury leaves [11], A. latifolium leaves and seeds [15], and A. sanguineum seeds [23]. However, it was not detected, for example, in the seed oil of A. melegueta [22].…”

“…However, it was not detected, for example, in the seed oil of A. melegueta [22]. Accordingly, b-caryophyllene and its oxides are also abundant or dominant (10 -60%) in the oils of seeds of A. angustifolium [9], leaves of A. auriculatum [10], and husks and leaves of A. corrorima [9] [13] [29].…”

“…Indeed, cyperene, which was relatively abundant in the oil characterized in the present study, has usually been identified only as a minor component in the oils of Aframomum spp. Here, 1,8-Cineole has a content of less than 2%, whereas it represented 25 to 85% of the oil of A. corrorima husks [29] and seeds [13], A. danielli fruits, leaves, and seeds [15] [16] [30], A. exscapum fruits, leaves, seeds, and stems [17], A. giganteum seeds [31], and A. sanguineum seeds [23]. Very few rhizome oils of Aframomum spp.…”

The essential oil from the rhizomes of Aframomum sceptrum (Zingiberaceae) was analyzed by GC/MS, and its major constituents were found to be β-pinene (12.7%), caryophyllene oxide (10.0%), and cyperene (6.0%). The oil was also evaluated for antimicrobial activities, in comparison with β-pinene, caryophyllene oxide, and the leaf essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (Myrtaceae). The A. sceptrum essential oil exhibited bacteriostatic activity against the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and S. aureus, but not against Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, it showed mild fungicidal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigates, and remarkable antiprotozoal activity against Trypanosoma brucei brucei (MLC of 1.51 μl/ml) and Trichomonas vaginalis (IC(50) of 0.12±0.02 and MLC of 1.72 μl/ml).
