Mill. Essential Oil: Analysis of In Vitro and In Vivo Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Potentials by Employing Three Cytogenetic Endpoints.

The highly valued oil of Mill. (Rosaceae), widely used in high perfumery, cosmetics, and other spheres of human life, obliges us to know and study the safety profile of the product obtained from the water-steam distillation of fresh rose petals. The genotoxicity of the essential oil (EsO) has not been thoroughly studied despite its wide range of applications.

-A Potential Source of Nutrients and Bioactive Components.

The Asteraceae family is a large plant family, with over 1600 genera and 25,000 species, most of which are generally herbaceous plants. This family's members are widely used in the human diet and medicine. One of the most popular representatives is L.

Antimycobacterial Activity of Essential Oils from Bulgarian Species Against Phylogenomically Different Strains.

In this study, we aimed to assess the activity of the essential oils from four Bulgarian oil-bearing roses Mill., L., L.

The Impact of Plant Essential Oils on the Growth of the Pathogens , , and .

Essential oils (EOs) extracted from aromatic and medicinal plants have the potential to inhibit the growth of various pathogens and, thus, be useful in the control of dangerous diseases. The application of environmentally friendly approaches to protect agricultural and forestry ecosystems from invasive and hazardous species has become more significant in last decades. Therefore, the identification and characterization of essential oils with a strong inhibitory activity against aggressive and widespread pathogens are of key importance in plant protection research.

Genotoxic and Anti-Genotoxic Potential of Hydrosols from Water-Steam Distillation of Oil-Bearing Roses L. and L. from Bulgaria.

L. and L. (Rosaceae) are grown as raw materials for valuable essential oils and hydrosols.

Postbiotics Production of Candidate-Probiotic AC131 with Renewable Bio Resources.

is a versatile specie, well known as a producer of lactic acid (LA) and other metabolites with biotechnological significance. The present work characterizes growth and lactic acid production of the candidate-probiotic strain AC131, from Bulgarian white brined cheeses. Different nutritional media with ingredients from renewable resources-reduced sugars from dried distillers' grains with soluble (DDGS) and waste waters from the water-vapor distillation of Bulgarian L.

Cytogenetic Studies on Genoprotective Effect of Mill. Hydrosol in Plant and Lymphocyte Test Systems.

Bulgarian Mill. is has been known since ancient times for its high-quality oil, hydrosol, and other aromatic products. Rose hydrosol has various biological activities, but no research on its anticytotoxic/antigenotoxic effects exists.

Comparative Chemical Profiling and Citronellol Enantiomers Distribution of Industrial-Type Rose Oils Produced in China.

The chemical composition and aroma profile of industrial essential oils (EOs) from species of rose grown in China, including the native Kushui rose ( × ) and Thunb. cv. Plena, and the recently introduced Damask rose ( Mill.

Study on Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Potential of Bulgarian Mill. and L. Hydrosols- and .

The L. and Mill. growing in Bulgaria are known for their extremely fine essential oil and valuable hydrosols.

In Vitro Study of the Biological Potential of Wastewater Obtained after the Distillation of Four Bulgarian Oil-Bearing Roses.

The wastewater after rose oil distillation is usually discharged into the drainage systems and it represents a serious environmental problem. While being rich in polyphenols, which have beneficial biological activity and application in the pharmaceutical industry, limited research has been carried out about the biological activity of the specific wastewaters per se. Wastewaters after distillation of the four Bulgarian oil-bearing roses Mill.

The Anti-Genotoxic Activity of Wastewaters Produced after Water-Steam Distillation of Bulgarian Mill. and L. Essential Oils.

The steam distillation of valuable rose essential oil from Mill. and L. generates large volumes of wastewaters.

Redox-Modulating Capacity and Antineoplastic Activity of Wastewater Obtained from the Distillation of the Essential Oils of Four Bulgarian Oil-Bearing Roses.

The wastewater from the distillation of rose oils is discharged directly into the soil because it has a limited potential for future applications. The aim of the present study was to determine in vitro the chromatographic profile, redox-modulating capacity, and antineoplastic activity of wastewater obtained by distillation of essential oils from the Bulgarian L., Mill.

Subcritical Extracts from Major Species of Oil-Bearing Roses-A Comparative Chemical Profiling.

A comprehensive chemical profiling of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (freon R134a) subcritical extracts from the main genotypes of oil-bearing roses, was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) in order to reveal the differences in their chemical composition. One hundred and three individual compounds were identified using GC/MS and their quantitative content was determined using GC-FID, representing 89.8, 92.
