Abstract

Essential oil from aerial parts of Chenopodium botrys L. (Chenopodiacea) was obtained by two methods, hydro-distillation and solvent extraction using n-hexane. From the first oil 29 compounds constituting 91.84% of the total components (34 compounds.) were identified, of which α-eudesmol (15.23%), epi-α-muurolol (11.06%) and cubenol (10.16%) were the major constituents. In the second oil 14 compounds were identified thet representing 91.05% of the oil with α-chenopodiol acetate (34.99%) and eudesma-3, 11-dien-6- α-ol (18.92%) as the major constituents. Essential oil from aerial parts of Ferulago subvelutina Rech. F. (Apiaceae) was obtained by hydro-distillation method. Thirty six from 39 compounds constituting 98.29% were identified, which limonene (26.99%), α-phellandrene (23.11%) and α -pinene (13.3%) were the major components. Essential oil from flower of Rosa gallica L. (Rosaceae family) was obtained by solvent extraction method by n-Hexane. Twelve from 13 components constituting 98.01% were identified which nonadecene (23.76%), isopropyl tiglate (17.47%), 2-methyl-4-heptane (14.86%) and n-nonane (11.85%) were the majors.
Antibacterial activities of essential oils were investigated on pathogens including three species of Staphylococcus genus, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella typhi and Echerichia coli.
