The present report deals with the analysis comparison of the essential oils from aerial parts of Conium maculatum L. growing wild in Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation, microwave assisted hydrodistillation and solid phase microextraction methods and collected essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The plant is a member of the Apiaceae family of rhizomal plant which are usually 120-180cm high. C. maculatum which is also called as Poison hemlock is refered to as one of the most toxic plants. The volatiles were isolated from dried aerial parts of the plant. Twenty two compounds were identified representing 73.8% of total volatiles obtained by HD and the major constituents of the essential oil were α-pinene(16.2%), camphene (9.9%), limonen(8.6%) and linalool(5.3%).Sixteen compounds were identified representing 74.6% of total oils obtained by MAHD and the main components were camphene(13.0%) , limonene(8.7%) , linalool(8.4%) and Fenchyl acetate(7.6%) .Nine compounds were identified representing 99.8% of total oils obtained by SPME and the main components were α-pinene(42.1%), sabinene(16.2%0), limonene ( 11.3%),camphene(9.5%) and myrcene(7.9%).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i2.12056 International Journal of Life Sciences 9 (2) : 2015; 48-50

Salvia macrosiphon Boiss. and Salvia rhytidea Benth.  species  of  the  genus  Salvia which are  belong  to the  Lamiaceae  family. At  the  Present  report  deals  with the  analysis comparison of the essential oils from aerial parts of S. macrosiphon  and S. rhytidea  growing wild in Iran obtained by hydrodistillation (HD) , microware assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) and  solid phase micro extraction (SPME) procedures and the collected  essential oils was investigated by GC and GC-MS. The major compounds of essential oil of S. macrosiphon extracted by hydrodistillation were: Linalool(12.6%),Caryophyllene oxide(11.9%) , Octane(8.5%) and β-Eudesmol(7.1%). Also the main compounds of essential oil from S. macrosiphon extracted by microwave assisted hydrodistillation were: Caryophyllene oxide(21.8%) ,Linalool(18.8%) and β-Eudesmol (6.1%). In this study,the gas chromatogram was obtained of injection the essential oil from aerial parts of S.macrosiphon extracted by solid phase micro extraction ,was not helpful.   Chemical composition of volatile compounds from dried aerial parts of   Salvia rhytidea Benth. was extracted, by hydrodistillation and solid phase micro extraction methods but microwave assisted hydrodistillation method was not helpful . The major compounds of essential oil of S.rhytidea extracted by hydrodistillation were:Sabinene(12.8%),Spathulenol(12.4%),Germacren-D (6.7%) , β-Eudesmol (6.3%) and α - Cubebene(5.4%). Also the main compounds of essential oil from S. rhytidea extracted by solid phase micro extraction were: Sabinene (38.5%), Limonene(11.6%) , Myrcene (7.2%) and β-Pinene(5.5%).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i2.12051 International Journal of Life Sciences 9 (2) : 2015; 61-64

Abstract Thirty-six compounds were identified from aerial parts of Solidago chilensis cultivated at PAF/FIOCRUZ campus in Rio de Janeiro city (RJ) using solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. These compounds are mainly non-oxygenated mono and sesquiterpenes. Germacrene D is the major compound of two the essential oil analyzed samples (12 to 23%) and of two of the volatiles samples analyzed by SPME (central stems and dry inflorescences samples). Limonene is the major compound in the fresh inflorescences sample (about 21%). The bornil acetate is present in both volatile fractions (16%) and essential oils (7-8%). All the essential oils samples evaluated shown a great antinociceptive activity, considering the used dose of the samples (1 mg/kg) and the standard substance (50 mg/kg). Solidago chilensis is one of Brazil arnicas and it is a medicinal plant widely used by the brazilian population. Other plants of the genus Solidago are also used in traditional medicine in North America and Europe. This is the first report of SPME analysis from Solidago genus and of the antinociceptive effect from Solidago chilensis essential oil.

Zingiber officinale (ginger) is one of the most commonly used flavouring ingredients in food and culinary dishes. The essential oils are known for its unique aroma and characteristic and widely used as therapy. In this study, the essential oil was formulated as massage oil and the quality of massage oil was evaluated on its physicochemical properties, i.e. colour, odour, density, viscosity, refractive index and pH value. The efficacy of the product was determined by the value of the melanin (coloured pigment) and erythema (redness of skin) as well skin irritation analysis (Finn Chamber Patch). The massage oil was also tested using Head Space-Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME-GCMS) to determine the presence of ginger’s essential oils important chemical constituents in the massage oil. Analysis revealed the presence of a-zingiberene, neral and geranial which are the main components found in ginger massage oil. For safety use, the finished product was tested for microbial enumeration test and heavy metal analysis. Result showed that there was no microbial contamination and meets the British Pharmacopoeia 2011 specifications in topical use. Meanwhile the results of limit test for heavy metals were found to be below detectable levels of National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau specifications.

The essential oils from Foeniculum vulgare commercial aerial parts and fruits were isolated by hydrodistillation, with different distillation times (30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 3 h), and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The antioxidant ability was estimated using four distinct methods. Antibacterial activity was determined by the agar diffusion method. Remarkable differences, and worrying from the quality and safety point of view, were detected in the essential oils. trans-Anethole (31-36%), α-pinene (14-20%) and limonene (11-13%) were the main components of the essentials oil isolated from F. vulgare dried aerial parts, whereas methyl chavicol (= estragole) (79-88%) was dominant in the fruit oils. With the DPPH method the plant oils showed better antioxidant activity than the fruits oils. With the TBARS method and at higher concentrations, fennel essential oils showed a pro-oxidant activity. None of the oils showed a hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity >50%, but they showed an ability to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase. The essential oils showed a very low antimicrobial activity. In general, the essential oils isolated during 2 h were as effective, from the biological activity point of view, as those isolated during 3 h.
