Chemodiversity of Roscoe rhizome essential oil at different drying times.

Ginger (), a globally distributed plant, is widely used in the industry for its flavourings, seasonings, and beverages. However, maintaining its quality and volatile components during processing has posed a challenge. This study, therefore, aimed to assess the impact of drying time (24, 48, and 72h) in a circulation oven at 40 °C on the chemical composition and yield of fresh and dried ginger.

Citronellal: a natural aldehyde with important properties.

Among the several terpenes existing in nature, Citronellal, a monoterpene aldehyde, deserves to be highlighted for its biological properties that have been pointed out in numerous studies. This work aimed to conduct a literature review on its biological properties. Citronellal is a prominent compound in the essential oils of Cymbopogon genus plants.

Chemodiversity essential oil from three species of (Euphorbiaceae) and assessment of antimicrobial potential.

The genus is known for its various biological properties, which inspired this study to investigate the anti-bacterial pro-perties and chemodiversity of the essential oils of three Croton species: , , and . The essential oils were characterised by gas chromatography (GC-MS) and demonstrated anti-bacterial activity against and using the disc diffusion method. The essential oil composition of showed bicyclogermacrene (16.

Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of and identification of a new apigenin-3-- glycosylated type flavonoid.

Owing to the potentially harmful adverse effects of current anti-inflammatory drugs, there is a need to identify new alternative substances. Thus, this study aimed to perform a phytochemical analysis of to identify compounds responsible for its anti-inflammatory activity. Several fractions of the extract were obtained and evaluated in an anti-inflammatory assay using fresh human blood.
