The objective of this study was to investigate the species identification, chemical composition and the antimicrobial activity of tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala DC) fruits and leaves. The essential oil content was 0.34 % and 0.23 % in the fruits and leaves, respectively. The main essential oil constituents of tuart fruits were 1,8-cineole (46.69 %), p-cymene (8.99 %), baeckeol (8.57 %), α-pinene (5

Essential oil was obtained from Pimpinella enguezekensis, a novel species found in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The samples were collected in Agilbasi (Engüzek), Malatya, Turkey, where the new species was first discovered. The essential oil was isolated through hydro distillation and analyzed through GC/FID- MS. The average essential oil obtained was 3.7 %, and 21 compounds, accounting for 99.2 % of the

The caterpillar Spodoptera frugiperda is a pest of great economic importance for cultivated maize (Zea mays) found in countries with higher yields and exports of this crop. Synthetic insecticides widely used in the control of this insect pest has been promoting its resistance and environmental contamination. Thus the essential oils become promising in the use for the management of this pest. Essential

The essential oil isolated from aerial parts of Hypericum rumeliacum Boiss. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Forty three identified compounds accounted for 98.8 % of the total oil. The main components of the oil were: (E)-β-ocimene (18.2 %), β-pinene (14.7 %), (Z)-β-ocimene (13.0 %), dodecanal (7.4 %) germacrene D (5.8 %) and myrcene (5.8 %). The volatile profile of H. rumeliacum was characterized by

Indian sandalwood oil is an essential oil (EO) obtained from the heartwood of Santalum album L tree. Thirty-eight sandalwood (SW) EO samples, including ten samples from heartwood of S. album and twenty-eight trade samples of SW EOs, were assessed for refractive index (RI), relative density (RD) and α- and β-santalol content. RI and RD values were found within the ranges of 1.4554 to 1.5035 and 0.943

Purple basil is one of the most important morphological varieties of basil.
