description

Abstract Essential oils of Eryngium foetidum L. (Apiaceae) in the South Vietnam isolated by hydrodistillation under conventional heating or microwave irradiation showed somewhat similar in chemical compositions. The microwave method gave a higher extraction yield in a much shorter time frame than the conventional heating protocol. Noticeably, the oil obtained from the microwave method showed a stronger antimicrobial activity than the other. Among all parts of the plant, inflorescence contained the highest oil content, and three-month old plant material was found richest in oil content as well. Physical, chemical and antibacterial properties of the oil products isolated from both methods were also mentioned.
