Essential oils composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the leaves and flowers of Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss

Evaluation of antibacterial and antioxidant properties of some traditional medicinal plants from India

“…The DPPH radical scavenging activity of aqueous and antibacterial activity guided solvent extracts of nine plants were evaluated following the procedure of Ebrahimabadi et al [13] with slight modifications. Desired concentrations of aqueous and solvent extracts were mixed separately with 3 mL of freshly prepared DPPH solution (40 mg/L in methanol) and incubated for 30 min in the dark at room temperature.…”

“…The -carotene/linoleic acid bleaching inhibition potency of aqueous and antibacterial activity guided solvent extracts of nine plants were determined following the procedure of Ebrahimabadi et al [13] Briefly, desired concentrations of aqueous and solvent extracts were added to 2.5 mL of -carotene-linoleic acid emulsion mixture separately, mixed thoroughly and incubated at 50°C for 2 h in the water bath. After incubation, the absorbance was measured at 470 nm using UV-VIS spectrophotometer.…”

Effect of natural antioxidants on the lipid oxidation of microencapsulated seed oil

“…Since lipid oxidation is a critical factor for food quality and prolonged shelf-life of edible oils, many studies have concentrated on the prevention of lipid oxidation by natural antioxidants (NA) (Baydar, Özkan, & Yasar, 2007;Ebrahimabadi, Djafari-Bidgoli, Mazoochi, Kashi, & Batooli, 2010;Rodríguez Vaquero, Tomassini Serravalle, Manca de Nadra, & Strasser de Saad, 2010). Recently, much effort has been made to prevent the lipid oxidation for sunflower oil in conjunction with some synthesized food additives (Guilleän, Cabo, Ibargoitia, & Ruiz, 2005;Iqbal, & Bhanger, 2007;Makhoul, Ghaddar, & Toufeili, 2006).…”

Effect of the Parts of Plant Material (Flowers and Leaves) on Essential Oil Chemical Composition ofOrmenis mixtafrom Morocco

“…The yields of Eryngium bourgatii Gouan flowers and leaves were 0.33 % and 0.11 % (v/w) respectively 26 . Ebrahimabadi et al27 mentioned that the yield of Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss flowers is 0.3 % and leaves 0.2 % (v/w).The constituents of the essential oils extracted from the flowers and leaves of O. mixta harvested in five different regions of Morocco are listed inTable 1.For Kenitra (K), Tamesna (T), Sidi allal lbahraoui (SAL), Settat (S) and Benguerir (B) oils, 55, 41, 57, 67 and 45 compounds were identified, respectively. The results also show that the oxygenated compounds constitute a major portion of the essential oils and represent 26.4-53.2 % for flowers and 28.9-56.5 % for leaves.…”
