A study was conducted to analyze the essential oil of Pulicaria mauritanica (PMEO) and investigate its antibacterial and antioxidant properties using in-vitro and in-silico methods. The essential oil was extracted using the hydrodistillation technique, and its chemical composition was identified via GC/MS analysis. The chemical composition of the oil shows that the major components of PMEO are carvotanacetone (67.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the antioxidant and insecticidal properties of essential oil and extracts from plants grown in Morocco, focusing on their effects against rice weevils.
  • Various assays measured antioxidant potential, showing the ethanolic extract was the most effective, while the essential oil and aqueous extract displayed weaker activities.
  • For insecticidal activity, the essential oil demonstrated the highest effectiveness, achieving complete mortality of rice weevils, compared to the aqueous and ethanolic extracts over a few days.
