“…Also geraniol (6.3% of the citral chemotype) and citronellal were tested singularly revealing strong antifungal potency. [204] The growth as well as the mycotoxin production of moulds was significantly inhibited by the use of EOs. As a consequence, their application as bio-preservatives seems to be possible.…”

The antimicrobial activity of essential oils is discussed in this review taking in account studies which were published in the period of time from 2008 until September 2010. Furthermore, the most important methods to examine the antimicrobial efficiency of essential oils are presented. The studies are divided into the following two groups, namely antibacterial and antifungal active agents depending on the activity of the applied essential oil against the test microorganisms. Various interesting possible applications are revealed such as the use of essential oils instead of synthetic drugs to circumvent the increasing resistance of some pathogens. Moreover, they could not only be used for the therapy of infectious illnesses, but also as preservatives in the food industry. A further possibility is, among others, the application of essential oils in skin products in order to treat or avoid dermal infections. Additionally, the prevalent constituents of the individual antimicrobial active essential oils are elaborated.

The essential oil of Lippia alba is reported as an antifungal against human pathogenic microorganisms but few articles report its use as an alternative to synthetic fungicides on green mould control. The objective of this study was to determine chemical characteristics of L. alba essential oil and its antifungal activity against green molds as an alternative to synthetic fungicides. Essential oil was extracted by Clevenger hydrodistillation, characterized by GC-MS analysis, and the structure of the main compounds confirmed by

“…A similar result was observed by Stashenko et al (2004) who found more sesquiterpenes in the supercritical CO 2 extract of L. alba than in extracts obtained with other extraction techniques. Eucalyptol was reported in Lippia alba essential oil as the main compound in samples obtained from Uruguay while was differed from that reported from Colombia where the main compounds were carvone (51%) and limonene (32.60%) carvone (31.8-52.6%) and geraniol (15-21.5%) (Mesa-Arango et al, 2009;Dellacassa et al, 1990). In Brazil L. alba essential oil was rich in geranial (12.9%) and myrcene (15%) (Oliveira et al, 2006).…”

Lippia alba essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation (HD) and supercritical fluid (SFE) extraction methods. These were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-flame ionization detector (GC-FID-MS). Antioxidant activity was tested by DPPH and ABTS methods, and total soluble phenolics (TSP) were also determined. While in the SFE extract 14 compounds were identified (mostly: myrcenone 3.4%, α-terpineol 1.0% and β-caryophyllene 2.3%), in the HD extract 17 compounds were identified (mostly: eucalyptol 15.6%, myrcenone 9.3% and Z-ocimenone 5.8%). The results showed that L. alba essential oils obtained by SFE was IC 50 =17.35 mg/mL and by HD was IC 50 = 12.45 mg/mL in DPPH assay. L. alba has an excellent eucalyptol content.
