The effect of continuous exposure and pulse application of Rosa damascena and Myrtus communis essential oils in postharvest stage cut rose flowers was evaluated. For this purpose two trials were conducted using a completely randomized design with three replications. Cut flowers were placed in holding solutions containing R. damascena and M. communi...

With the aim of extending the vase life of cut rose flowers, we investigated whether the application of salicylic acid (SA), pre- and postharvest, could improve this. For this purpose, two individual trials were conducted, using a completely randomised design, with three replications. In the first trial, aqueous solutions of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mM...

The volatile constituents of the bark of cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) were investigated. Analysis of the volatile fraction by GC-MS is described. Twenty one components have been identified, of which the major constituents were found to be cinnamic aldehyde (52.3%) followed by α-copaene (11.42%), δ-cadinene (6.25%), styrene benzebe,ethenyle-(CAS...

The effect of exogenous application of nano-iron chelate (100 and 200 mg/I) in early flowering stage on components of essential oils (EOs) of Carum copticum was evaluated. The EO extracted by hydrodistillation from Iranian C. copticum was characterized by means of GC/MS. The nano-iron chelate application increased gamma- terpinene and thymol and de...

Achillea millefolium L. comprises several relevant species for the food, cosmetic, perfumery, and pharmaceutical industries.

Achillea millefolium L., Anethum graveolens L., and Carum copticum L. comprise several relevant species for the food, cosmetic, perfumery and pharmaceutical industries. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis revealed thymol to be a major component of A. millefolium, A. graveolens and C. copticum, with its contribution to the essential oils (...

The effect of essential oils and nano-malate in extending the vase-life of Eustoma grandiflorum Mariachii. cv. Blue flower was investigated. The treatment with 3 mM nano-malate increased flower longevity as compared to control. Nano-malate treatment increased chlorophyll, proline and carbohydrate content and membrane stability, while descreasing AC...

The effect of exogenous application of nano-ferric oxide (50 and 100 mg/l) in early flowering stage on components of essential oils (EOs) of Carum copticum (L.) Link was evaluated. EO extracted by hydrodistillation from Iranian C. copticum was characterized by means of GC/MS. The nano-ferric oxide application increased limonene, gamma-terpinene, ci...

The present study reports the chemical composition of Thymus vulgaris essential oil and its main compounds. The essential oil was obtained from the aerial parts of the Thymus vulgaris by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC-MS. The major components were 1,8-cineole (6.23 %), camphor (15.14 %), α-pinene (8.0 %), camphene (10.54 %), carvarcrol (18.51...

The aerial parts of Salvia officinalis (Lamiaceae), have been used in Iranian traditional medicine. Composition of the essential oil, which was obtained from the aerial parts of Salvia officinalis collected from Ilam, was determined by gas chromatography. In total, 20 components (87.17 % of essential oil) were identified. Major constituents were α-...

The essential oil from the aerial parts of Achillea tenuifolia was isolated using the hydro- distillation method and analyzed for its chemical composition by GC-MS. The oil exhibited the presence of twenty-two compounds representing 98.58 % are of total chromatogram. The oil was dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons amounting to 47.70 % with α-pine...
