The Mediterranean

Mycorrhiza is regarded essential for plant growth, especially in regions where precipitation and nutrient availability are low. Hundreds of aromatic plant species, which contain essential oils, are growing naturally around the Mediterranean. The plant essential oils are known for their antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the aromaticLaurus nobilis, abundant in the Mediterranean region, can influence the development of two mycorrhizal species,Glomus deserticolaandGlomus intraradices, and how this effect can influence the growth of the host plant. The major compounds ofL. nobilisessential oil were 1.8 cineole, sabinene, α-pinene, eugenole, α-terpinyl acetate, and β-pinene. Both mycorrhizal fungi colonized successfully the host plants, positively influencing their growth.G. deserticolapresented higher infection level thanG. intraradices.Addition ofL. nobilisoil into substrates resulted in mycorrhiza inhibition, and the level of inhibition was analogous with the amount of added essential oil. The fungi were benefited by the aromatic compounds up to 15 mg of essential oil per L of soil. However, 30 and 60 mg L-1of essential oil were able to create significant inhibition in mycorrhiza development and to restrict the host growth. Since the presence -of aromatics in the Mediterranean region could create such ecological problems, the elimination of aromatic plant litter before reforestation is suggested, to give the opportunity for mycorrhiza establishment and successful development of new plants.

Boswellia Sacra

Frankincense, the oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia trees, has been an important religious and medicinal element for thousands of years, and today is used extensively for essential oils. One of the most popular frankincense species is Boswellia sacra Flueck. (syn. Boswellia carteri Birdw.) from Somalia and Somaliland. Recent increases in demand have led to many areas being overharvested, emphasizing the need for incentives and monitoring for sustainable harvesting, such as certification schemes. Concurrently, a new chemical component, called methoxydecane, has emerged in oils claimed to be B. carteri, suggesting the possibility of a chemical marker of overharvesting or other stress that could aid in monitoring. To find the source of this new chemical component, we sampled resin directly from trees in areas producing the new methoxydecane chemotype. This revealed that methoxydecane comes not from Boswellia carteri, but from a newly described frankincense species, Boswellia occulta. The presence of Boswellia occulta oil in essential oil sold as pure B. carteri, including certified organic oil, emphasizes the current lack of traceability in the supply chain and the ineffectiveness of organic certification to secure purity and sustainable harvesting in wildcrafted species.

Essential Oil Production

This article reveals that essential oil production is a complex system with a large number of economic ties arising in the process of growing and processing as well as distribution of products made from essential oils raw materials. Multileveled manufacturing process of essential oils products requires coordination of all the elements to reduce costs in the entire supply chain. It is proposed to use mathematical modeling of the supply chain based on the method of main faces, which allows to take into account the specifics of the problem and makes it possible to use a variety of combinatorial and heuristic algorithms.

Essential Oil Production

Prasium majus L. (Labiatae, Lamioideae) is considered a typical non-aromatic plant. In this work we examined the glandular trichomes present on leaves and inflorescences and the essential oils of plants growing along the Tuscan coast of Italy. The micromorphological study evidenced different types of trichomes responsible for the essential oil production. The essential oil compositions of leaves and flowers were analyzed by GC/MS and are here reported.
