“…These results are similar to numerous works already done in Morocco. The research presented by A Bouyahya et al, (2017) showed that pulegone, 1,8-cineole and menthone are the major constituents of M. pulegium essential oil with 40.98%, 23.67% and 21.16% concentrations respectively. While, the study conducted by Hmiri et al, (2011) revealed the abundance of pulegone (80.28%), 1,8-cineole (42.30%) and α-pinene (28.30%).…”

This research was conducted to evaluate the components of the Mentha pulegium (L) and Glycyrrhiza foetida (Desf) that were extracted by hydro distillation and analyzed using GC-MS methods. They are spontaneous plants widespread in Gharb of Morocco. The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of the essential oils and leaf methanolic extracts of these two medicinal plants against five phytopathogenic bacteria. The evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the two species by estimating the diameter of the inhibition zone has shown that the essential oil of M. pulegium exhibited a higher antimicrobial activity than G. foetida which varied according to the sensitivity of the phytopathogenic strains. The results obtained revealed different degrees of sensitivity toward methnolic extract. However, the methanolic extract and the essential oil of M. pulegium are more active based on the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). The antimicrobial activities of leaf extracts from the two plants highlighted in this study could justify their therapeutic use. These results should be strongly recommended as an alternative to a chemical compound that still represents the problem of toxic residues.

“…Several studies have examined the antimicrobial activity of this aromatic plant (Mahboubi and Haghi, 2008;Kanakis et al, 2012). Indeed, the pulegone in essential oil has antibacterial activity (Hmiri et al, 2011;Bouyahya et al, 2017). The genus Glycyrrhiza foetida (Desf) is a plant known as "Guenfdo" in western Morocco (Gharb).…”

In this study we determined the chemical composition of R. officinalis essential oil and evaluated its possible phytotoxic activity. The chemical composition of the essential oil was studied by GC and GC-MS analyses. A total of 57 compounds were identified and the main components are α-pinene (24.9%), verbenol (8.5%), verbenone (8.5%), 1,8-cineol (8.2%) and isoborneol (8.1%). Moreover, the essential oil and its main constituents, α-pinene and 1,8-cineol,were evaluated for their possible in vitro phytotoxic activity against germination and initial radical growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L.), rue (Ruta graveolens L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The results showed thatboth germination and radical elongation were sensitive to the oil but not in the same way to α-pinene and 1,8-cineol. The oil influences in different ways radical elongation of R. sativus, R. graveolens, and L. sativa and the germination of S. lycopersicum. Instead α-pinene influenced only radical elongation of lettuce.

“…There are several published studies of conifer-derived essential oils (CEO), which have already analyzed the chemical composition and evaluated the antibacterial properties against a panel of microorganisms. These publications show that the CEOs are able to inhibit the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Hong et al 2004;Lee et al 2009a;Fahed et al 2017;Bouyahya et al 2019;Lee et al 2008;Park and Lee 2011;Pichette et al 2006;Bagci and Digrak 1996;Lee et al 2009b). Nevertheless, the majority of these studies did not use a standardized approach for the evaluation of the antibacterial activity.…”

A simple, robust, and precise method for the absolute quantification of the terpenes α-pinene, camphene, βpinene, 3-carene, limonene, bornyl acetate, β-caryophyllene, and borneol was developed using gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and validated according to the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. The GC-FID method shows high accuracy (91-105%) and low imprecision (< 7.6%) for all terpenes at quality control (QC) low, medium, and high level. The curves are linear with strong correlation (R 2 ≥ 0.999) for all terpenes. Additionally, the relative response factor (RRF) for each terpene is calculated. The method was validated in terms of specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ, stability tests, and carry-over. The method was successfully applied to quantify the selected terpenes in conifer-derived essential oils (CEOs). The total amount of terpenes ranged from 6.3 to 11.8 mM. Additionally, the CEOs were screened in vitro for the antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus using the broth microdilution method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). All the CEOs showed antibacterial activity in the concentration from 0.3 to 50 μg/mL (S. aureus) and 1.2 to 50 μg/mL (E. coli), respectively. CEO14 showed the most effective antibacterial activity of the entire tested CEOs (MIC values 0.3 μg/mL (S. aureus); 1.2 μg/mL (E. coli)). Our results suggest that the terpenoid profile should be considered for a comprehensive evaluation of the antibacterial activity, as none of the single compounds seems to be fully responsible for antibacterial activity.
