Antibacterial activity and chemical composition of 20 Eucalyptus species’ essential oils

Antibacterial activity of the essential oils from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus

“…These results are almost similar to those shown by other works on the antimicrobial activity of essential oil of E. globulus leaves as well as those of similar species [14,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , and confirms its traditional uses [26,30,31] .…”

Postharvest Management and Value Addition of Ginger (Zingiber Officinale Roscoe): A Review

“…The aromatic constituents include zingiberene and bisabolene. Other gingerol-or shogaol-related compounds (1-10%), which have been reported in ginger rhizome, include 6-paradol, 1-dehydrogingerdione, 6-gingerdione and 10-gingerdione, 4-gingerdiol, 6-gingerdiol, 8-gingerdiol, and 10-gingerdiol, and diaryl-heptanoids (Michiein et al 2009, Elaissi et al 2011, Hossain et al 2011. The mode of action and active constituents present in ginger are listed in Table 1.…”

Anti-biofilm Activities and Chemical Composition of Essential Oil from Burdock Leaf

“…Previous studies reported that compounds such as β-eudesmol (Costa et al, 2008;Kumar et al, 2011), borneol (Ngan et al, 2012;Al-Farhan et al, 2010;Elaissi et al, 2011), 1-octen-3-ol (Kim et al, 2004;Yu et al, 2004), linalool (Ngan et al, 2012;Alviano et al, 2005;Singh et al, 2008), benzyl alcohol , phenylethyl alcohol , α-eudesmol (Costa et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2005) exhibited significant antibacterial activities. The high antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of burdock leaf against streptococcus pneumoniae, S. aureus, S. dysenteriae, E. coli and S. typhimurium was probably due to the combined action of β-eudesmo, borneol, 1-octen-3-ol, linalool, benzyl alcohol, phenylethyl alcohol and α-eudesmol present in burdock leaf essential oil.…”
