“…The results obtained from the analysis are in good agreement with the previous reported work [11][12][13]. It has been previously reported that during the developmental growth of seeds, the conversion of dillapiole to oxygenated terpenes increases [14].…”

The chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of essential oils and oleoresins obtained from dill (Anethum graveolens L.) seeds and leaves have been studied. The isolated essential oils and oleoresins were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The antioxidant activity of essential oils and oleoresins in comparison with synthetic antioxidants were evaluated using different antioxidant assays namely peroxide, thiobarbituric acid values. The antioxidant potentials were further confirmed using other methods such as ferric thiocyanate method in linoleic acid system, scavenging effect (%) on DPPH radical and metal chelating activity. Total phenolic content was also calculated using Folin-Ciocalteau method. Their antimicrobial activity was investigated using various methods on an array of microorganisms. Carvone (47.2%) was the major component in seed essential oil whereas dillapiole (90.2%) was the main component of leave essential oil. The oleoresins were mainly having a major fraction of carvone, dillapiole and oleic acid. Both essential oils have shown excellent antioxidant activity. The seed essential oil showed excellent antimicrobial activity against Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium graminearum in food poisoned method. Significant antibacterial activity was recorded for essential oils against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis while nominal inhibitory effects were observed against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

“…Jirovetz et al (2003) reported a high activity of the essential A. graveolens oil against the mold Aspergillus niger and the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. In antifungal investigations, Singh et al (2006) found that the dill essential oil was highly effective for controlling the growth of Penicillium citrinum and Aspergillus niger.…”

Antimicrobial Effects of Several Essential Oil from Aromatic Plants

et al. 2016

Essential oils (EOs) have been long recognized for their antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, insecticidal and antioxidant properties. The present research aimed to study the antimicrobial effects of some volatile oils from aromatic plants (sweet basil and dill) against several microorganisms, namely Bacillus subtilis, Alternaria alternata and Penicillium expansum. The oils have been extracted through distillation procedures and the antimicrobial action of the oils was assessed through the disc diffusion method. The best effect against the Bacillus subtilis strain has occurred when the essential oil of dill was undiluted. Regarding the the Alternaria species, it was noted that dill volatile oil has acted in an efficient way only undiluted. As the oil's concentration decreased, the strain becomed resistant. The sweet basil oil has proven to be highly effective when acting against the Bacillus strain. By volatilization, the sweet basil oil produced a strong antimicrobial effect, even in control disc, in which it was noticed a small development of colonies comparing with the dill oil. The results indicated that the sweet basil essential oil exerted an antimicrobial effect both against the tested bacteria and moulds, while the dill oil had a great inhibitory action on Bacillus subtilis and Alternaria alternata, but was less efficient against Penicillium expansum.

“…This may give an indication that C. aegyptiaca is a limonene-rich plant, compared with some other plants. For instance, essential oil of dill seeds was reported to be 9.34% [46]; and (44.1% or 16.6% or 16.0%) in Anethum graveolens seeds; according to results published by other investigators [47][48][49]. But citrus limonene exceeded these levels, and was reported to range between 51.97% in Sour Orange oil and 95.32% in Lime oil [36].…”

Abstract:The herb, Conyza aegyptiaca L., was subjected to hydrodistillation process to extract the essential oil from the whole dry plant material. Larvae and adult stages of the mosquito, Anopheles pharoensis, and the housefly, Musca domestica, were used as test model organisms representing two dipterous insect pests of medical importance. Under standard bioassay test methods, the LC50 of the oil accounted to 37.8 ppm and 0.087 mg/cm 2 against larvae and adults of An. pharoensis, respectively. These toxicity parameters were found to be 71.8 ppm as LC50 and 0.125 µg/insect as LD50 against larvae and adults of M. domestica, respectively. Using GC/MS analysis, we identified 19 compounds constituting ca. 97% of phytochemicals present in the oil, such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and esters. Limonene constituted about 50% of the plant oil (48.79%), followed by (E) -β-Ocimene (8.66%), Germacrene D (7.54%) and β-pinene (6.91%). The occurrence of the other constituents ranged between 0.27% and 5.29%. It was concluded that the potency of C. aegyptiaca oil refers mainly to the presence of limonene. The findings of this study may encourage more research aiming at investigation of eco-friendly biopesticides based on botanical resources.
