An essential oil sample of davana (Artemisia pallens Wall. ex DC.) and a fraction thereof were investigated for their chemical composition using GC and GC-MS. cis-Davanone (45.8%), bicyclogermacrene (9.6%), linalool (2.5%), caryophyllene oxide (2.2%) and phytol (2.1%) were found to be the main constituents of the davana oil sample. The main constituents of the fraction were analyzed as cis-davanone (72.2%), davana ether 2° (5.2%) and ( Z)-ethyl cinnamate (5.2%). Antimicrobial activities of the essential oil, the fraction, some major and reference compounds were evaluated against seven strains of bacteria and one yeast using agar diffusion and agar dilution methods. The davana essential oil showed antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica and the yeast Candida albicans; the davana fraction was effective against all the tested bacteria and yeast except Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus vulgaris. The oil and the fraction were also olfactorially evaluated.

Coriandrum sativum L. belongs to the Apiaceae family, which is cultivated in Dong Nai province, in this paper its seed oil of was studied. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation. We used two methods for activating of hydrodistillation: conventional heating and microwave irradiating. Its physical and chemical indexes were measured. The chemical composition of this oil was identified by GC/MS and quantified by GC/FID. Linalool (75.51-77.21 %), and geranyl acetate (15.64-12.79 %) were the main constituents of the oil which were obtained in 0,32-0.39 % yield. The biological activity of this oil was reported.

Medicinal plants are considered modern resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in demeanor of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antibacterial activities of essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare (FV) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry was done to specify chemical composion. As a screen test to detect antibacterial properties of the essential oil, agar disk and agar well diffusion methods were employed. Macrobroth tube test was performed to determinate MIC. The results indicated that the most substance found in FV essential oil was Trans-anethole (47.41 %), also the essential oil of FV with 0.007 g/ml concentration has prevented P. aeruginosa and with 0.002 g/ml concentration has prevented B. subtilis from the growth. Thus, the research represents the antibacterial effects of the medical herb on test P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis. We believe that the article provide support to the antibacterial properties of the essential oil. The results indicate the fact that the essential oil from the plant can be useful as medicinal or preservatives composition.
