“…The major compound was 2-undecanone with proportions up to 85.94 and 89.89% in leaves and flowers, respectively. Abundance of 2-undecanone in both essential oils is completely in accordance with previous findings on R. chalepensis essential oils composition from Tunisia (Ben-Bnina et al, 2010;Mejri et al, 2010;Saidani-Tounsi et al, 2011) and Algeria (Merghache et al, 2009;Haddouchi et al, 2013). Even if the chemical composition of oils varies, essential oils have been considered potentially promising compounds for the treatment of numerous pathogenic agents such as gastrointestinal nematodes (Olounladé et al, 2012) and insects (You et al, 2014).…”

“…It has been reported that there is a relationship between the chemical structures of the most abundant compounds in the tested oils, the proportions in which they are present and their pharmacological activities (Dorman and Deans, 2000;Delaquis et al, 2002;Haddouchi et al, 2013). In fact, according to Ben-Bnina et al (2010) and Haddouchi et al (2013), R. chalepensis essential oil where the major compound is a ketone, has strong antifungal and antibacterial activities. Interestingly, Ntalli et al (2011) reported for the first time an irreversible nematicidal activity of ketones as constituents of R. chalepensis against Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita.…”

“…The family Rutaceae is distributed throughout Mediterranean region (Gonzalez-Trujano et al, 2006) and is widely growing in temperate and tropical countries (Zeichen de Sa et al, 2000), with the Rue being the most representative genus (Haddouchi et al, 2013). Ruta chalepensis is commonly named fringed rue in English and "Fijel" in the local jargon of North Africa.…”

“…Essential oil had been generated in sweet orange and grape fruit (C. paradisi) peels (Ezejiofor et al, 2011;Okunowo et al, 2013) and the antimicrobial activities of grape peel oil had been documented (Okunowo et al, 2013). Essential oils in plant products have tremendous applications in food, cosmetic and aromatherapy (Ramadan et al, 1996;Haddouchi et al, 2013;Narmadha et al, 2013). Research in medicinal chemistry have also shown that screening plant products for antimicrobial activities have led to detection and development of new potential anti-infective agents (Ordonez et al, 2003;Arias et al, 2004;Rasool et al, 2008).…”

Citrus sinensis seed and peel oils were extracted by solvent extraction using n-hexane, after air drying and grinding. Soaps were formed by saponification methods. Fatty acid composition of the oil samples were analyzed using Gas Chromatograph-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID). Physicochemical properties of the oils and soaps were determined following standard methods. Antimicrobial activities were assessed by the agar disc and hole-in plate methods. The seed and peel oil yield were 38 and 30%, respectively and the colors were golden yellow and brownish-yellow, respectively. Physicochemical properties of the oil samples determined were: refractive index (

Introduction: Plant metalloid contamination may represent an important pathway of Arsenic (As) intake by humans, wild herbivores and livestock. Objective: This study aimed at estimating Arsenic (As) exposition risks to wild plants naturally growing on the contaminated area of Zimapan, Hidalgo, Mexico. Materials and Methods: Arsenic concentrations in the rhizosphere, aerial and root parts, and deposition on leaves of wild plants from two mine tailings were analyzed. Results: The range of total and EDTA-extractable Arsenic (As) concentrations on the mine tailings were from 4016 to17,178 mg kg -1 and from 234 to 499 mg kg -1, respectively. Eleven plant species were the dominant vegetation. Some of these are important in the folk Mexican medicine. Retention of Arsenic (As) in aerial part was between 49 to 7,521 mg kg .6 and 9.6, respectively). Juniperus sp and Ruta graveolens behaved As excluders, while Dalea bicolor accumulated Arsenic (As) close to the maximum tolerate concentrations to animals. After a very drastic washing procedure, leaves still had structural high Arsenic (As) concentration (49-2, 940 mg kg -1 ). Conclusion: This study highlighted that plants are important organism for retaining Arsenic (As) not only on leaves surface but also structurally. Therefore, they strongly influence Arsenic (As) dispersion and risk from mine tailings. Phytoremediation using some of these plants is suggested taking into account control measures to deplete Arsenic (As) transfer to livestock or medicinal herb use.
