“…Moreover, the environmental and the genetic factors are very important. Other authors also reported the chemical variation of the essential oils of plants from different ecological regions in several countries as China, Iran and Argentina (Rahimmalek et al, 2009;Xie et al, 2012).…”

The chemical composition and antifungal activity of the Ageratum conyzoidesessential oils, obtained from the leaves collected in Ibiúna (1), Ribeirão Pires (2) and Campinas (3) in the São Paulo state, Brazil, were investigated. The essential oils were obtained from A. conyzoidesleaves by hydrodestilation and analyzed by GC/MS. The chemical composition of the A. conyzoides oil collected in Ribeirão Pires and Ibiúna consisted mainly of precocene I and II. The essential oil from leaves collected in Campinas had only traces of precocene II and a highest proportion of precocene I, α-humulene and (E)-caryophyllene than the oils (1) and (2). The Aspergillus flavus growth was inhibited by essential oils (1) and (2) at 60 and 64%, respectively, and the oil (3) was inactive. On the other hand, the three essential oils inhibited the sporulation of the fungus for more than 120 days. The essential oils of leaves collected in sites that show similarities in the latitude, altitude and average temperatures, as Ribeirão Pires and Ibiúna, showed chemical composition and antifungal activity similar, either, which showed the importance of geo-ecological factors in production of metabolites of the plant.

“…However, there is a lack of studies performed to determine antibacterial performance in presence of photo activated oils. Because, the components of essential oil are highly affected by environmental factors (Tip-pyang et al, 2000;Rahimmalek et al, 2009). Thus, our paper have presented a comparison research about volatile oils of fennel, sage, grape, lavender and an antibacterial study in relation to light and dark treatments.…”

In the present study, the volatile compounds of essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel), Salvia officinalis (sage), Vitis vinifera (grape), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using the Nist and Willey libraries. It was determined that the main components of Foeniculum sp. were anethole (41.11%), carvacrol (9.18%). whereas main components of Salvia sp were 1.8 cineole (34.09%), caryophyllene (10.95%), camphor (9.44%), α-pinene (8.42%). Vitis sp. contained linoleic acid (36.98%), 2,4-decadienal (30.79%). Finally, volatile component of Lavandula sp. was linalool (33.57%), linalyl acetate (30.74%). Photoxic antibacterial activity of volatile oil of those plants against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25293), Klebsiella pneumoniae (10031), Salmonella thyphimurium, Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25925), Enterococcus feacalis (ATCC 29212) were examined by using disc diffusion method. We demonstrated that volatile oil effectively can be activated by a standard LED light. In vitro, significant phototoxicity was demonstrated by volatile oil of Foeniculum sp. and Vitis sp. (P < 0.05), while minor phototoxicity was induced by Lavandula sp. Therefore, volatile oil of plant can be considered as a potential photosensitizer in the photochemical therapy.

“…However, chamazulene was found within the three principal constituents only in a small part of investigated A. millefolium essential oils [10][11][12][13][14]. The first predominant components in the oils were determined as sabinene, β-pinene, β-phellandrene, 1,8-cineole, borneol, ocimene, artemisia ketone, linalool, α-and β-thujone, camphor, borneol, fenchyl acetate, bornyl acetate, fragranol, lavandulyl acetate, ascaridole, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, germacrene D, α-copaene, α-and β-bisabolol, eudesmol and δ-cadinol [4,11,12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, the composition of essential oils was investigated mainly for the yarrow oils that are produced by all aerial parts of the plant.…”

Differences in essential oil composition of wild Achillea millefolium L., collected at five habitats in Lithuania, where plants with pink (f. rosea) and white (f. millefolium) flowers grow together, were reported. For the first time, oils of different plant organs (inflorescences and leaves) of both forms from every population were analysed in detail. Chemical analysis was performed by GC and GC-MS. The most predominant constituents of the oils were nerolidol (9.4-31.9%, in 11 out of 20 samples), caryophyllene oxide (8.4-23.0%, 4 leaf oils), ß-pinene (8.0-15.2%, 2 samples), eudesmol (11.8-15.8%, 2 leaf oils) and 1,8-cineole (11.9%, one inflorescence oil). Domination of nerolidol was mostly characteristic of A. millefolium f. rosea essential oils (in 8 out of 10 oils). The inflorescences biosynthesised markedly larger amounts of nerolidol and ß-pinene than those of the leaves. An opposite correlation was observed for caryophyllene oxide and eudesmol. Chamazulene (≤2.7%) was determined only in six oils. The 65 identified constituents made up 75.4-96.5% of the oils.© Versita Sp. z o.o.
