In Vitro Evaluation of the Antifungal Properties of L. Essential Oil from the Ecuadorian Amazon Against (ATCC 10231).

Essential oils are investigated due to their biological activity, and the Amazon rainforest, with its rich biodiversity, is a promising source of therapeutic compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the essential oil from the leaves of as an antifungal agent, thus contributing to the search for alternatives that can address the growing resistance to conventional antifungals. leaves were collected in the Ecuadorian Amazon and their essential oil was obtained by steam distillation.

Optimisation of ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic antioxidants from Loes. leaves using response surface methodology.

The present study carried out the optimisation of the total polyphenol content (TPC) extraction assisted by ultrasound in leaves applying response surface methodology (RSM). Also, the evaluation of the antioxidant activity of the extract obtained under the optimal extraction conditions was performed. The effect of the variables like, time of sonication, temperature, ethanol/water ratio and solid/liquid relationship and the interactions between them were analysed through the use of a factorial design 2ˆ4.

Evaluation of the synergistic effects of antioxidant activity on mixtures of the essential oil from L., L. and L. using simplex-lattice design.

Essential oils (EOs) are known for their antioxidant properties, and are widely employed in the food industry as preservatives. They can be used as condiments or as preservatives to achieve certain organoleptic effects for consumers. The aim of this research was to evaluate antioxidant activity in mixtures of three EOs: L.
