“…The possible antimicrobial action of methyl chavicol might be arrived from the complexation between the protein or other components of the cell membrane of the microbes and the phenolic components in the essential oil as previous reported [48]. Furthermore, methyl chavicol showed limited and weak antibacterial activity [49] which was similar to our report. According to its antifungal activity, the volatile oil from this plant might be used as an active ingredient in antifungal formulations.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that most terpenes do not possess high inherent antimicrobial activity. For instance, p-cymene, one of the most important components of thyme EO, does not show antimicrobial activity against many Gram-negative pathogens (Bagamboula et al, 2004). Other terpenes, such as limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, γ-terpinene, δ-3-carene, sabinene and α-terpinene show a very low or no antimicrobial activity against some bacteria (Dormans and Deans, 2000).…”

“…Due to promising biological activities including cytotoxic (Yang et al, 2014), anti-microbial (Bagamboula et al, 2004), insect-repellant properties (Beier et al, 2014), anti-inflammatory activity (Peana et al, 2002), antihyperglycemic (Weaver et al, 1991;More et al, 2014), antitumorigenic potential (Jana et al, 2014) and sedative effects, linalool as a natural plant-product has been extensively applied in various fields, such as perfumes, cosmetics, flavoring agents and medical science (Re et al, 2000). However, linalool is unstable, volatile and readily oxidizable.…”
