“…Since the active antimicrobial compounds of essential oils are terpenes and phenolics in nature, it seems reasonable to suppose that their modes of action might be similar to those of other phenolic compounds (Shunying et al 2005). Any individual essential oil contains complex mixtures of such compounds, however, little is known about the effect of the interaction between the individual constituents on the antimicrobial activity.…”

Damjanović-Vratnica B., Đakov T., Šuković D., Damjanović J. (2011): Antimicrobial effect of essential oil isolated from Eucalyptus globulus Labill. from Montenegro. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 277-284.Chemical composition of the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus Labill., grown in Montenegro, was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and its antimicrobial activity was evaluated against 17 microorganisms, including food poisoning and spoilage bacteria and human pathogens.The Eucalyptus essential oil yield was 1.8% (w/w) on the fresh weight basis, whereas the analysis resulted in the identification of a total of 11 constituents, 1.8 cineole (85.8%), α-pinene (7.2%), and β-myrcene (1.5%) being the main components. Other compounds identified in the oil were β-pinene, limonene, α-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, linalool, pinocarveol, terpinen-4-ol, and α-terpineol. The results of the antimicrobial activity tests revealed that the essential oil of E. globulus has rather a strong antimicrobial activity, especially against Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, acinetobacter baumannii, and klebsiella pneumoniae. Minimum inhibitory concentration revealed the lowest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonela infantis (3.13 mg/ml) while the highest activity was against S. aureus, E. coli, and S. pyogenes (0.09 mg/ml).

SUMMARYChemical composition of the essential oil of Mentha piperita L. (peppermint) from Montenegro was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and its antimicrobial activity was evaluated. GC-MS analysis showed that major components of peppermint oil were menthol (33.15%), menthon (19.61%), 1,8 cineole (6.37%) and methyl acetate (5.63%).Clinically isolated bacteria strains, Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli), were used for the antimicrobial activity tests, and results were compared with peppermint essential oil originated from Spain. The obtained results revealed that the essential oil of M. piperita from Montenegro has rather strong antibacterial activity, especially against Bacillus subtilis. These results confirm the potential use of M. piperita from Montenegro and its essential oil in the medical field as well as in the food industry.

“…Methanolic extracts of C. Myconis, C. trifurcatum leaves and flowers and C. trifurcatum leaves and stems have antimicrobial activities and contained tannins, flavonoids and moreover alkaloids which are known to have antimicrobial activity (Omulokoli et al, 1997). Previous studies reported that the other Chrysanthemum species such C. indicum, contained a phenolic compounds, terpenoids, flavonoids (Cheng et al, 2005), oxygenated monoterpens and sesquiterpenes which had antimicrobial activity against a large number of bacterial strains (Shunying et al, 2005).…”
