“…The PLEO yield obtained is similar to that in the literature [ [20] , [35] ]. Therefore, these results revealed that the two major components identified (terpinen-4-ol and germacrene D), founded with this amount for the first time, are in agreement with previous studies and confirmed the identity of the chemotypes used in this study [ [26] , [36] ].…”

“…13,29 The same results were recently reported by Gardeli et al for plants harvested in Greece. 30 The high level of sesquiterpenes found in the HD oils of the present study is somewhat in agreement with the ¼ndings of other two investigations on Algerian oils, 31,32 where the most abundant compounds were germacrene D and longifolene, respectively. Germacrene D was also the major volatile in a variety of Turkish P. lentiscus.…”

In the present research, the chemical composition of the volatiles present in the fresh leaves and twigs of Pistacia lentiscus L. was determined by using GC-FID and GC-MS. In past years the oil was employed in the perfumery, food and pharmaceutical industries, while recently it has been re-evaluated as a ½avouring in alcoholic beverages and chewing gums, due to the natural production of the exudate called 'mastic gum'. The present study was carried out on Sicilian plants with the aim of integrating the already existing information on the chemical composition of the oil. The oil samples were obtained using traditional hydrodistillation (HD) and simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE). For the ¼rst time, the enantiomeric distribution of 17 chiral couples by means of enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography (Es-MDGC), was determined. The results showed that more compounds were detected in the SDE extract (96 components) than in the HD extract (62 components). Several minor components contained in the HD product probably contribute signi¼cantly to its aromatic properties and could be useful for chemotaxonomic characterization. P. lentiscus L. leaf and twig oil, although not considered until now, could be employed as a ½avour contributor or as food preservative.

“…The chemical analysis of the essential oil extracted from Algerian P. lentiscus plants indicated that its composition, although consistent, presents some differences, with the composition of other essential oils extracted from P. lentiscus plants. Actually, in a previous study about Algerian P. lentiscus, Benyoussef et al (2005) found 4-terpineol, ␣-terpineol, and germacrene D among the principal chemicals. However, such a differences in the chemical composition of P. lentiscus essential oil may be due to the different geographical area of growth and period of harvesting of the plant material (Zrira et al, 2003;Aouinti et al, 2013).…”

Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus zeamais, and Tribolium confusum are three of the major food-stuff pests who cause important economic losses of shelved products with special reference to pasta. Due to its long shelf life, pasta is highly exposed to insects that can penetrate into the packaging with consequences economically severe. Eco-friendly strategies to prevent such insect attacks to the final packaged product are therefore highly foreseen by pasta companies. Due to their repellent properties, essential oils, extracted from aromatic plants, could represent a valid, eco-friendly alternative to chemical repellents. In this study, we evaluated the repellent activity of Pistacia lentiscus essential oil (PEO) and its main chemical components by two different bioassay with and without the presence of pasta. Results showed that the whole PEO exerts a broad-range aspecific repellency among the target pests with RD50 values ranging from 0.010 to 0.037 μL cm−2. On the contrary, the repellence of PEO components resulted to vary depending on the compound and on the pest species. Among the PEO chemical components, relative median potency analyses indicated that β-caryophyllene was able to exert the highest repellency rates against S. zeamais (RD50 0.046 μM cm−2). The comparison between the two bioassays, with and without pasta, indicated that the two methodologies gave consistent results. Overall, our research firstly showed that, because of their effectiveness as repellents, PEO and its major constituents could represent valid and safe tools against pasta pest
