“…At the same time, HP-5 is a precision-engineered (5%-phenyl)-methylpolysiloxane low polarity column. The results are consistent with the expectations, as according some authors the major secondary volatile metabolites from plant origin are better retained and seen in polar capillary columns like the BP-20 one [30,31].…”

One-hundred and seven different volatile compounds were identified in the samples of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi collected from nine locations in Spain. This plant is commonly brewed and used as tea. Volatile compounds profile was detected using solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The most interesting compounds detected from an antioxidant capacity point of view were esters, phenols, and aromatics compounds. All samples were discriminated by principal component analysis. The insolation and altitude of harvest areas, and latent structures were considered for interpretation of results. Discriminant analysis was applied to control the type and concentration of metabolites and determine the best plant antioxidant profiles of volatile compounds from plant origin. Moreover, a heatmap displayed correlations between detected compounds. The discriminant analysis led to 20 quality markers being identified for the analysed plants. The strongest antioxidant capacity was obtained in the samples from Pina de Montalgrao and Loarre (collected in September) for ORAC (33.11 ± 0.61 g Trolox/g sample) and DPPH (IC50 = 711 ± 12 µg/g) methods, respectively. The plant with the highest total phenolic content was Loarre collected in September (171.9 ± 19.4 mg GAE/g DW) and November (177.1 ± 11.0 mg GAE/g DW).

“…Adding natural preservatives are the common methods to control the growth and reproduction of V. parahaemolyticus ( Semeniuc et al, 2017 ). Essential oils (EO), a complex mixture of aromatic and volatile consisting secondary metabolites of aromatic plants, is usually obtained from plant material such as flowers, fruits, and leaves ( Spadaccino et al, 2021 ). Melissa officinalis L. (MO) is a plant that has been used to give fragrance to foods and beverages.…”

The study was to evaluate the antimicrobial impacts on Melissa officinalis L. essential oil (MOEO) against Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MOEO on Vibrio parahaemolyticus was 1 μL⋅mL–1. The kill-time curve exhibited that MOEO had good antimicrobial activity. The analysis of cellular ingredients leakage and cell viability illustrated that MOEO has destruction to the morphology of the cell membrane. The damage to the membrane integrity by MOEO has been confirmed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, obvious morphological and ultrastructural changes were observed in the treated bacterial cells. The MOEO at 0.5 μL⋅mL–1 can inhibit the biofilm formation, biofilm motility, and extracellular polysaccharide production. Meanwhile, the qPCR results exhibited MOEO inhibited the expression of virulence genes. The findings showed that MOEO exerted its antimicrobial effect mainly by destroying the membrane, which indicated its potential as a natural food preservative.

The goal of this research was to screen plant essential oils (EOs) as sprout inhibitors or suppressors in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Three controlled environment experiments were conducted to screen 18 EOs and several pure compounds as sprout inhibitors. The EOs were applied using the wicked method on potato cv. Gala in 19 L plastic containers. The results indicated that Melissa officinalis L. EO inhibited sprouting, while Coriandrum sativum L. seed oil and the EO blend of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. and Salvia sclarea L. suppressed sprouting. The EOs of interest were analyzed using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and/or a flame ionization detector (GC-FID); the detailed chemical profiles are provided. The M. officinalis EO was fractionated into seven fractions, and these were tested on minitubers. We identified two fractions (F and A) that suppressed potato sprouting better than the whole oil. The GC-MS-FID analyses of M. officinalis EO fraction A identified myrcene, Z-ocimene, E-ocimene, trans-caryophyllene, and α-humulene as the main constituents, while the main constituents of fraction F were α-terpineol, β-citronellol, and geraniol. The pure isolated compounds, together with the major compound in M. officinalis EO (citral), were tested for sprout suppression on three potato cultivars (Ranger Russet, Terra Rosa, and Dakota TrailBlazer), which revealed that β-citronellol reduced the sprout length and the number of sprouts in all three cultivars, while citral and (+)-α-terpineol reduced the sprout length and the number of sprouts in Ranger Russet relative to the two controls in all three cultivars. Myrcene had a stimulating effect on the number of sprouts in Cv. Terra Rosa. However, none of the pure compounds suppressed sprouting completely or were comparable to the EO of M. officinalis.
