Chemical composition and antibacterial effect of Smyrnium olusatrum L. Fruit Essential Oil
2020
The plants of the <em>Apiaceae</em> family are mainly used for food purposes and their multiple therapeutic properties and biological activities. This study aims to determine the chemical composition of Essential Oil (EO) of the fruits of <em>Smyrnium olusatrum</em> L. obtained by hydrodistillation in Clevenger-type apparatus. GC/MS analyzed the EO and the antibacterial activity was evaluated against clinical bacterial strains by two complementary methods (Disc diffusion and micro-atmosphere) and determination of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). The results of chemical composition show that the EO is dominated by hydrocarbon monoterpenes (55,95%). The antibact…
Volatile Compounds in Citrus Essential Oils: A Comprehensive Review
2019
[EN] The essential oil fraction obtained from the rind of Citrus spp. is rich in chemical compounds of interest for the food and perfume industries, and therefore has been extensively studied during the last decades. In this manuscript, we provide a comprehensive review of the volatile composition of this oil fraction and rind extracts for the 10 most studied Citrus species: C. sinensis (sweet orange), C. reticulata (mandarin), C. paradisi (grapefruit), C. grandis (pummelo), C. limon (lemon), C. medica (citron), C. aurantifolia (lime), C. aurantium (bitter orange), C. bergamia (bergamot orange), and C. junos (yuzu). Forty-nine volatile organic compounds have been reported in all 10 species,…
Aceites esenciales: productos antimicrobianos y antioxidantes naturales en la industria agroalimentaria
2020
[ES] Los consumidores son conscientes del peligro derivado del uso de antioxidantes y antimicrobianos sintéticos en la industria agroalimentaria, demandando alternativas más seguras y ecológicas. En este estudio, se ha determinado la actividad antioxidante de aceites esenciales comerciales mediante el método DPPH y su efecto antimicrobiano frente a la bacteria Pseudomonas syringae y el hongo fitopatógeno Fusarium oxysporum a través del empleo del método estandarizado de disco. Los aceites esenciales de clavo, ajedrea, canela y orégano, así como carvacrol, mostraron la máxima actividad antioxidante, comparable a antioxidantes establecidos. El aceite esencial de gaulteria fue el más potente i…
