“…The Californian specimens of S. molle showed that myrcene, a-phellandrene, d-cadinene and limonene were the most abundant components (Bernhard et al 1983). Baser et al (1997) found that the Turkish S. molle fruit and leaf oils consist mainly of a-phellandrene, b-phellandrene, limonene and acadinol.…”

“…This species is highly aromatic and hence, numerous investigations of its essential oil from different locations have been undertaken. The basic constituents of the oils were a-phellandrene, bphellandrene, limonene, a-pinene and b-pinene (Bernhard et al 1983;Dikshit et al 1986;Maffei and Chialva 1990;Baser et al 1997;Marongiu et al 2004;El Hayouni et al 2008;Zahed et al 2010), to which are attributed the antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, insecticidal and phytotoxic activities (Maffei and Chialva 1990;Gundidza 1993;Yueqin et al 2003;Diaz et al 2008). …”

Gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses of the essential oils of leaves and fruits of the ornamental Shinus molle L. were reported and their allelopathic effect on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was evaluated. Qualitative and quantitative differences between fruit and leaf oils were observed. Both oils were rich in monoterpene hydrocarbons and the major constituents were limonene and b-phellendrene (35.9-65.4%), a-phellendrene (24.3-20.1%), myrcene (12.8-7.7%) and a-pinene (5.9-1.7%) for fruits and leaves, respectively. Both essential oils showed a dose-dependent allelopathic activity on wheat germination and radicle elongation with leaf oil being the more phytotoxic.

“…α ‐Cadinol and δ ‐cadinene, detected as major components in the essential oils of dried leaf samples from Turkey, were represented only by δ ‐cadinene as a minor component in some of our studied fresh and dried samples . Another difference observed in comparison to the essential oil composition between two Mediterranean countries (Algeria and Turkey) and Jordan was the absence of limonene in the Jordanian samples …”

“…These studies demonstrated great differences in the reported oil composition, including the major identified compounds. Like many other plant species, these chemical variations can be attributed to genetic and environmental factors in addition to the conditions during the extraction process or time of collection, as in the case of S. molle studied in Turkey . The composition of the leaves volatile oil of S. molle , collected from the same region in Turkey, exhibited great variations with regard to the main and minor components .…”

The leaves and unripe and fully‐grown fruits of Schinus molle were collected from three geographical regions of Jordan: Amman (the Mediterranean), Madaba (Irano‐Turanean), and Sahab (Saharo‐Arabian). The hydrodistilled volatile oils of fresh and dried leaves and fruits were analyzed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The actual composition of the emitted volatiles was determined using Solid Phase Micro‐Extraction (SPME). α‐ and β‐Phellandrenes were the major components in all the analyzed samples. Quantitative differences were observed in the obtained essential oils (0.62–5.25 %). Additionally, cluster analysis was performed. Biologically, the antiproliferative activity of the essential oil, ethanol, and water extracts of the fruits and leaves was screened on Caco2, HCT116, MCF7, and T47D cell lines. The essential oil and ethanol extracts exhibited a dose‐dependent inhibition of cell growth with IC50 ranging between 21 and 65 μg/mL. The water extract did not exhibit any antiproliferative activity against the investigated cell lines.

Terpene derivatives converted by microbial biotransformation constitute an important resource for natural pharmaceutical, fragrance, and aroma substances. In the present study, the monoterpene α-phellandrene was biotransformed by 16 different strains of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and yeasts). The transformation metabolites were initially screened by TLC and GC/MS, and then further characterized by NMR spectroscopic techniques. Among the six metabolites characterized, 6-hydroxypiperitone, α-phellandrene epoxide, cis-p-menth-2-en-1-ol, and carvotanacetone, which originated from (-)-(R)-α-phellandrene, are reported for the first time in this study. Additionally, the substrate and the metabolite 5-p-menthene-1,2-diol were subjected to in vitro antibacterial and anticandidal tests. The metabolite showed moderate-to-good inhibitory activities (MICs=0.125 to >4 mg/ml) against various bacteria and especially against Candida species in comparison with its substrate (-)-(R)-α-phellandrene and standard antimicrobial agents.
