“…The mode of action of natural products toward microbial infections is not fully understood but is speculated to involve membrane disruption by the lipophilic compounds (Tsuchiya et al, 1996). There are many factors such as climate, soil composition, age and vegetation cycle stage that explain the differences of antimicrobial activities of medicinal plants belonging to different regions of the world on quantity, and quality of bioactive compound and composition of extracted natural products (Masotti et al, 2003;Angioni, 2006;Noumedem et al, 2013). In addition the effect of solvent polarity used in the extraction play an important role in the amount of biologically active materials (Al-Zubaydi et al, 2009;Bakht et al, 2011;Bedi, 2010;Anmar, 2015).…”

The present work evaluates the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of four Libyan plants (Arbutus) compared to the other tested plants. Regression analysis of the antioxidant assays showed a strong correlation between phenolics or flavonoids content and nitric oxide scavenging activity as well as total antioxidant activity. Also the crude extracts especially A. pavarii showed greater growth inhibition capacity towards tested bacterial strains. Results of the antioxidant assays and antimicrobial screening showed that, all tested plants can act as radical scavengers and antimicrobial agents to a certain extent. Future study is recommended to further purify and examine individual bioactive compounds from these extracts and evaluate their in vivo antioxidant and bacterial activities.

“…Most molecules are present in traces while two to three, are often the most representative components, accounting for 20-70% of the whole oil and responsible for determining its biological activities [21]. There is a high variation in the chemical profile of essential oils depending on the extraction methods, organ used, age and vegetative stage of the plant, the time of the harvest and the soil composition [22,23]. Bergamot oil, is one of the most important perfume materials; its pleasant refreshing scent, blends into almost, any perfume composition so that, today, there is not a perfume which does not contains BEO (Bergamot Essential Oil).…”

Abstract:The bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso et Poiteau), a citrus fruit growing almost exclusively in the South Italy, is considered the "prince of citrus" for its storical role in the perfume industry due to its essential oil, a product in great demand of a pleasant and refreshing scent. Recently, analgesic, anxiolytic, neuroprotective consistent effects have been ascribed to bergamot essential oil when it is used in aromatherapy, for the relief of pain and symptoms associated with stress-induced anxiety and depression. Moreover, today, bergamot fruit due to a considerable abundance and variety of nutraceutical compounds which are present in its juice, is becoming increasingly important also in the food, pharmaceutical and confectionery industries. In this review, it is discussed that the literature on C. bergamia, focusing on the several studies performed with the experimental data, and recently accumulated, may form the rational basis for further development.

“…Indeed, environmental factors, such as geography, temperature, day length, and nutrients, have been examined and are thought to play a role in the chemical composition of EOs (Masotti, Juteau, Bessière, & Viano, 2003;Angioni, Barra, Coroneo, Dessi, & Cabras, 2006;Gardeli, Vassiliki, Athanasios, Kibouris, & Komaitis, 2008). These factors influence the biosynthetic pathways of the plant and, consequently, play a role in the relative proportions of the major characteristic compounds, leading to the existence of different chemotypes that distinguish EOs from different regions.…”

The steam distillation-extracted essential oils (EOs) of three aromatic plants from the Kabylie region of Algeria (Eucalyptus globulus, Lavandula angustifolia, and Satureja hortensis) were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The primary compounds from these EOs were 1,8-cineole (81.70%) for Eucalyptus globulus, 1,8-cineole (37.80%) and -caryophyllene (20.90%) for Lavandula angustifolia, and carvacrol (46.10%), p-cymene (12.04%), and -terpinene (11.43%) for Satureja hortensis. To test the antibacterial properties of the EOs, agar diffusion and microdilution methods were used for Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis CECT 4300. The results revealed that all of the EOs possessed a significant anti-Salmonella activity. The inhibition diameters for Lavandula angustifolia and Eucalyptus globulus were 41.30 and 35.26 mm, respectively, whereas the essential oil (EO) of Satureja hortensis showed a stronger anti-Salmonella activity (51.15 mm) when compared to the two other EOs. The minimum inhibitory concentration values ranged from 1 to 8 μL/mL, and the MIC value of the Lavandula angustifolia EO was the lowest (1 μL/mL). Moreover, the anti-Salmonella activity of the EOs added at various concentrations to liquid whole eggs was investigated, and the results showed that the antibacterial effect is proportional to the quantity of EO added to the product. Based on the observed anti-Salmonella activity, the EOs tested are promising natural alternatives for the preservation of liquid whole eggs stored at 7 ± 1ºC to simulate Algerian refrigeration conditions.
