AI Article Synopsis
- The essential oil from Hesperozygis marifolia was studied using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), revealing fourteen identifiable compounds.
- The main components of the oil include (R)-pulegone (40.75%), isomenthone (30.34%), and menthone (4.46%).
- The oil and (R)-pulegone demonstrated complete inhibition of Aspergillus flavus growth, indicating potential for future commercial applications.
Article Abstract
The chemical composition of the essential oil from Hesperozygis marifolia was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and fourteen compounds were identified. (R)-pulegone (40.75%), isomenthone (30.34%) and menthone (4.46%) were found to be the main components of the oil. The essential oil at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL and (R)-pulegone at concentration of 0.8 mg/mL completely inhibited the growth of Aspergillus flavus Link. The fungicidal effects of this essential oil warrant further research into its potential for commercial use.
