“…Results for MIC (0.6-2.5 mg/ ml) and MFC (1.25-2.5 mg/ml) indicated that spring harvest EO was marginally more efficient. The EO of C. limon peel exhibits seasonal fluctuation in chemical composition and antifungal activity as well as substantial antifungal potential, and is effective in treating dermatophyte induced fungal infections (Hadj Larbi et al, 2023).…”

The most well-known group of aromatic flowers is the genus Citrus. One of the most significant fruit crops in the world belongs to this genus and it is widely grown for the market for fresh fruit and processed juice. The phytochemicals were analyzed in the lemon peel essential oil extract. Phenols, terpenoids, saponins, and alkaloids were analyzed in the acetone extract whereas flavonoids, phenols, and saponins were analyzed in the ethanol extract of Lemon peel. The Fusarium was inoculatedin Petridis and sprayed essential oil over the Petridis. One Petridis was free from essential oil. The essential oil free Petridis was observed spreading fungus with multiplication but the growth of fungus was stopped in Petridis which was sprayed with essential oil after three weeks. The pectin was extractedfrom lemon peel and calculated equivalent weight of pectin was 200g. It is found that lemon peel has a big application in medicinal and pharmacological benefits. Pinontoan et al., 2019 reported that essential oil extract of Lemon peel have equal effectiveness against both Trichophyton rubrum and Fusarium. The family Rutaceae is dominated economically by the genus Citrus L.

“…Seasonality, growth stage, temperature, water availability, and ultraviolet radiation are the most influential factors on the synthesis and chemical composition of volatile oils in medicinal plants, according to some researchers (da Cruz et al, 2022;Hadj Larbi et al, 2023). Prior studies dealing with volatile oil quantity and quality show that seasonal variation may significantly affect different plants (Melito et al, 2019;Schoss et al, 2023).…”

This research was carried out to examine the monthly changes in both the volatile oil content and volatile components of cherry laurel leaves by taking samples every month for 12 months in Turkey. Harvest periods significantly affected volatile oil content (P < 0.01). Depending on harvest periods, volatile oil ratios ranged from 0.19 to 0.35%. The months of August, July, and September yielded the highest volatile oil ratios. Benzaldehyde, phenol, benzoic acid, benzeneacetonitrile, pentadecanone, 1,54-dibromotetrapentacontane and, tetrapentacontane were determined as components in the volatile oil. The ratio of benzaldehyde, the main active ingredient, varied between 83.89 and 94.41%, depending on the harvest time. The cherry laurel leaf should be harvested in July, August, and September for high essential oil ratios and in May, June, and July for high benzaldehyde ratios. Due to the high concentration of benzaldehyde in its volatile oil, cherry laurel evergreen leaf can be considered a valuable source of raw materials for the fragrance and pharmaceutical sectors.
