AI Article Synopsis
- The essential oil sourced from Hunan Province, China, was analyzed using capillary gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (GC-MS), leading to the identification of 67 compounds that accounted for 98.68% of the oil.
- Key components of the oil included -pinene, limonene, and carvacrol, with -pinene being the most abundant at 8.85%.
- The oil demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi, with inhibition zones ranging from 16.8 to 24.9 mm and minimum inhibitory concentrations between 62.5 and 1000 μg/mL.
Article Abstract
The essential oil obtained from growing in Hunan Province, China, was analyzed for the first time by capillary GC and GC-MS. A total of 67 constituents, representing 98.68% in essential oil were identified. The major constituents of the oil were: -pinene (8.85%), limonene (6.38%), carvacrol (6.15%), caryophyllene (6.08%), spathulenol (5.49%), sabinene (5.36%), camphor (4.34%). Antimicrobial potential of oil against bacterial strains (, and , and ), yeast strains ( and ) and molds (, , , and ) was determined by disc diffusion method and broth micro dilution method, respectively. The oil exhibited promising antimicrobial effect as a diameter of zones of inhibition (16.8-24.9 mm). Minimum inhibitory concentration values of oil were ranged 62.5-1000 μg/mL.
