Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to describe the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) of stems, leaves and flowers of A. maritima collected from Turkey, and verify its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The EO was analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Fifty-nine compounds representing to 98.1% of the EO were identified. The antimicrobial activities were determined against seven bacteria and two yeast species by using disc diffusion and MIC techniques. According to the results, it was observed that there was no effect of the EO against Gram-positive bacteria. The EO showed a low effect (8–9 mm) against Gram-negative bacteria, but the EO had a high effect (20–22 mm) against the tested fungi. In addition, according to the MIC test results, the EO presented effects against C. krusei, C. parapsilosis at a concentration of 50 µl/ml. The antioxidant activity of the EO was determined as IC50 = 31.9 µl/mL.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Essential Oil Research ( JEOR) is the major forum for the publication of essential oil research and analysis. Each issue includes studies performed on the chemical composition of some of the 20,000 aromatic plants known in the plant kingdom. JEOR is devoted entirely to all phases of research from every corner of the world by the experts in their field. JEOR''s main areas of focus include:
-Analytical chemistry-
Biological activity-
Biotechnology-
Chemical composition-
Chemical synthesis-
Chemosystematics-
Microbiological activity-
Plant biochemistry/biosynthesis-
Toxicology.
Published six times per year, JEOR provides articles on the aromatic principles of a plant or its isolates and are directed toward furthering our readers'' knowledge of the aromatic plant and animal kingdoms.
