Essential oils-obtained by hydrodistillation of different parts of Iris persica L. were investigated for the first time by GC-FID and GC-MS; moreover, their antifungal activities were determined: 34,. 32, 27, and 17 compounds were identified in the oils from air-dried flowers, leaves, rhizomes and fresh. bulbs, respectively, representing ≥ 98% each oil. The major constituents of the flower essential oil were phenylethanol (24.8%) and furfural (13.8%), which, as the main component, constituted also 39.0% and 22.2% of the leaf and rhizome volatile fractions, respectively. Phenylacetaldehyde (37.1%) was the main constituent of the bulb volatile fraction. In in vitro tests, moderate antifungal activity was detected for the oils against strains of the human pathogenic fungal species Gandida albicans, Microsporum canis, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, the plant-fungal pathogen Pyricularia oryzae, and the fungal food contaminant Aspergillus carbonarius,. The highest activity was exhibited by the essential oils from leaves and flowers, suggesting that they could be considered natural antimicrobial agents.

A search for antifungal compounds from the mushroom using a bioassay-guided chromatographic fractionation approach led to the discovery of a novel polyketide harboring a rare 3,3a,9,9a-tetrahydro-1-furo[3,4-]chromen-1-one skeleton. The novel compound was named coprinolide. The inhibitory activity and fungicidal potential of coprinolide were evaluated against five economically important plant-pathogenic fungi.

The antioxidant extracts considered a very important food additive which promoting the protection of lipid and prolong the shelf life of food products. The aim of this investigation was decrease the time of extraction of hibiscus leaves extract (HLE) and olive leaves extract (OLE) from 48 h to only 6 h without reducing efficiency of these extracts. HPLC assay, scavenging radical activity by DPPH˙ (IC), inhibition lipid peroxidation by both β-Carotene/Linoleic Acid Bleaching (βCB) and Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARs) assays, antibacterial and antifungal activities measured for different concentrations of ethanolic extracts by conventional extraction (CE) and difference in pressure extraction (DPE) methods, and the results shown a considerable in mean difference ( < 0.
