Based on the conducted research, a method with an internal standard for the quantitative determination of the content of individual phenolic compounds – carvacrol and thymol in essential oils of Thymus vulgaris L., Monarda fistulosa L., Origanum vulgare L., Satureja hortensis L., Satureja montana L. was developed. The internal standard – oxygen-containing monocyclic terpene alcohol menthol with a purity of 98.0% – was experimentally determined. Metrological characteristics of the developed method: the convergence of the arithmetic mean of two definitions is not more than 0.3 %; the relative measurement error at P= 95 is not more than 2.0 %.

Essential oils (EOs) have promising antioxidant activities which are gaining interest as natural alternatives to synthetic antioxidants in the food and cosmetic industries. However, quantitative data on chain-breaking activity and on the kinetics of peroxyl radical trapping are missing. Five phenol-rich EOs were analyzed by GC-MS and studied by oxygen-uptake kinetics in inhibited controlled autoxidations of reference substrates (cumene and squalene). Terpene-rich Thymus vulgaris (thymol 4%; carvacrol 33.9%), Origanum vulgare, (thymol 0.4%; carvacrol 66.2%) and Satureja hortensis, (thymol 1.7%; carvacrol 46.6%), had apparent kinh (30 °C, PhCl) of (1.5 ± 0.3) × 104, (1.3 ± 0.1) × 104 and (1.1 ± 0.3) × 104 M−1s−1, respectively, while phenylpropanoid-rich Eugenia caryophyllus (eugenol 80.8%) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum, (eugenol 81.4%) showed apparent kinh (30 °C, PhCl) of (5.0 ± 0.1) × 103 and (4.9 ± 0.3) × 103 M−1s−1, respectively. All EOs already granted good antioxidant protection of cumene at a concentration of 1 ppm (1 mg/L), the duration being proportional to their phenolic content, which dictated their antioxidant behavior. They also afforded excellent protection of squalene after adjusting their concentration (100 mg/L) to account for the much higher oxidizability of this substrate. All investigated EOs had kinh comparable to synthetic butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were are eligible to replace it in the protection of food or cosmetic products.

Plants produce compounds with antimicrobial properties that can be used to control diseases of horticultural products, for this reason, the aim of this study was to enlarge the knowledge on the effect of essential oils as an alternative for control for bacterial canker Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Smith) (Cmm). Essential oil of Lippia palmeri was obtained by hydridestillation from plants collected in Sonora, Mexico. Essential oils of Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris and Cinnamomum zeylanicum were obtained from commercial stores in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. To evaluate the effect of the essential oils on the bacterium Cmm, direct applications in two concentrations (1:1 and 1:5 (v/v)) on tomato plants foliage were carried out. Then, plants were inoculated with 1x10-7 CFU/mL of the bacterium and observed for 12 days. The evaluated parameters were incidence and severity. The essential oils and chemical compounds of Origanum vulgare and Thymus vulgaris had effect against Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis up to 9 days after application in a 1:1 (v/v) concentration and up to 12 days after application with the 1:5 (v/v) concentration. The essential oil of Lippia palmeri only had effect until six days after the application with both concentrations; that is to say, only these three types of essential oils had bactericidal properties, since with the essential oil of Cinnamomum zeylanicum the inhibition of Cmm was very limited, both in incidence as in severity.

Abstract The essential oils of Thymus vulgaris L. and Origanum vulgare L. were investigated for their toxicity and physiological aspects on the lesser mulberry pyralid Glyphodes pyloalis Walker in controlled condition (24±1°C, 75±5% RH and 16L : 8D). The leaf disc method was used to study acute toxicity, the effect of LC10, LC30, and LC50 on the feeding efficiency of 4th instar larva, and biochemical indices. The essential oil doses of LC10, LC30 and LC50 were estimated to be 0.107%, 0.188% and 0.279% for T. vulgaris, and 0.67%, 1.173% and 1.728% for O. vulgare, respectively. The results showed that T. vulgaris was more toxic than O. vulgare. The essential oil sublethal dose LC30 affected the nutritional indices of 4th instar larvae of G. pyloalis. The essential oils reduced total protein, carbohydrate, and lipid. Some concentrations of essential oils changed the activity level of α-amylase, protease, lipase, general esterases, and glutathione S-transferase (GST) but others showed no effect on these enzymes. It was concluded that the used essential oil concentrations were both toxic to G. pyloalis and showed irreversible effects on key metabolic processes, therefore, the used essential oil concentrations may be considered as alternatives to the classic pest control agents.

The presence of different phytochemical components of essential oil such as tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids and phenolic compounds has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study is to investigate importance of the major components of three herb essential oils (Thymus vulgaris L., Centauriumerythraea Rafn. And Foeniculumvulgare Mill) on challenging with fish diseases. The components of essential oils provided from a commercial firm were made GC/MS analyzes. The major component of T. vulgarewas carvacrol called as phenol, 2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl) with 40%.The others were Linalool L (15.11%) and benzene, methyl(1-methylethyl)- (12.12%).The richest oil in C. erythraea was bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene, 2,6,6-trimethyl- (34.90%) called as alpha-pinene, followed by heptacosane (19.15%) and dotriacontane (17.72%), respectively.The evaluation of the essential oil of F. vulgarispresented benzene, 1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)- with 67.99%, followed by dl-Limonene (16.03%) and benzene, 1-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)- (6.97%). The therapeutic effects of thyme are due to its high content of phenolic compounds, particularly carvacrol. The most important compounds of F. vulgare essential oil is anethole, fenchone, limonene that has antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal and anticancer effects. The previous studies show that alpha pinene significantly inhibits many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. In aquaculture studies, in vitro and in vivo effects of the dominant compounds of essential oils in our study are consistent with the previous findings.
