“…The compositions of the EOs are greatly influenced by diverse parameters involving time and season of harvesting of the plants, type of the plant organs and the corresponding family, geographical and climatic conditions, physiological age, developmental stage, nutritional status of the plants, post-harvest drying, plant storages, genetic diversity, extraction methods, elemental structure of the sampling area, physicochemical variables related to the respective soils and also stress during the growth or maturity (Tabanca et al, 2011;Raut and Karuppayil, 2014;Mohammadhosseini, 2015b, a;Nekoei and Mohammadhosseini, 2016). Some comprehensive reviews covering some important aspects, e.g., the status, preparation methods, biological activities, potential use and processing of the EOs (Radulovic et al, 2007;Bakkali et al, 2008;Nemeth and Bernath, 2008;Adorjan and Buchbauer, 2010;Rubiolo et al, 2010;Lang and Buchbauer, 2012;Shaaban et al, 2012;Tranchida et al, 2012;Oliveira et al, 2014;Raut and Karuppayil, 2014;Sivakumar and Bautista-Banos, 2014;Tongnuanchan and Benjakul, 2014;Xiao et al, 2014;Calo et al, 2015;Herman and Herman, 2015;Zeng et al, 2015;Sarmento-Neto et al, 2016) are available to date.…”

“…Commonly, essential oils are obtained by a physical process involving steam, hydro-, or dry distillation, with the sole exception of citrus essential oils, which are mechanically obtained by peel expression (23). Currently, more than 3,000 essential oils are known, but only 300 of these are commercially traded for the pharmaceutical, agronomic, food, sanitary, cosmetic, and perfume industries (3).…”

Essential oils from six different populations of Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum were compared for their antibiofilm properties. The six essential oils (A to F) were characterized by a combination of gas chromatography with flame ionization detector and gas chromatography with mass spectrometer detector analyses. All oils showed weak activity against the planktonic form of a group of Staphylococcus aureus strains and against a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442 reference strain. The ability to inhibit biofilm formation was investigated at sub-MIC levels of 200, 100, and 50 mg/ml by staining sessile cells with safranin. Sample E showed the highest average effectiveness against all tested strains at 50 mg/ml and had inhibition percentages ranging from 30 to 52%. In the screening that used preformed biofilm from the reference strain P. aeruginosa, essential oils A through E were inactive at 200 mg/ml; F was active with a percentage of inhibition equal to 53.2%. Oregano essential oil can inhibit the formation of biofilms of various food pathogens and food spoilage organisms.

Lantana camara L. is considered a weed, but is used in agriculture and traditional medicine due to its different pharmacological effects. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition and the bioactivity of essential oil from L. camara flowers collected in Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil. Essential oil was obtained using a Clevenger type apparatus. The oil obtained was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer detector (GC-MS) and its bioactivity was assayed against fungi and bacteria, as well as for acetylcholinesterase inhibition. The chemical composition of essential oil presented major compounds contrasting with the literature, while its bactericidal and fungicidal activity was excellent, reaching over than 90% inhibition against yeast. A potent anti-acetylcholinesterase activity, superior than 77% inhibition, was also observed.
