Essential Oils Application of Some Species of Genus Elsholtzia in Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer Production

Abstract

Species of the genus Elsholtzia have great potential for bioactive substances. Although this species has been used a lot in traditional medicines, most of it is only used based on the experience gained or left by forerunners without much knowledge of the species scientific basis. Therefore, the investigation, research, evaluation of chemical composition and screening of potential bioactive substances from plants of the genus Elsholtzia, especially those endemic to Vietnam, will be of great scientific and practical significance, actively contributing to the rational exploitation and use of the country's natural resources, thereby orienting the application of Elsholtzia essential oil in research and develops a number of food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Using the method of extracting essential oils by steam distillation and the evaluation of antibacterial activity by agar diffusion method with the following contents: Results analysis, evaluation and screening of essential oils of some species of the genus Elsholtzia with biological activity obtained in different regions. Research results on mixing ratio to create antibacterial hand sanitizer products, completing the process and calculating the cost of antibacterial hand sanitizer products.
