The current study investigated and determined the major compounds of six essential oils derived from different plant species cultivated in Greece ( var. and ). The results proved that all these essential oils have a high potential for use as food preservatives, since among the compounds determined were sabinene, b-myrcene, a-pinene, carvacrol and limonene, all of which were responsible for the strong antimicrobial activity against . However, the amounts of some compounds, such as linalool and citral, were at high levels, and this can be a danger for some sensitive population groups due to allergic reactions. The essential oil compounds which were identified using GC-MS and quantified through GC-FID represented more than 95% of the total essential oils of the investigated plant species. Finally, all essential oils provided high phenolic content.
本研究对源自希腊种植的不同植物品种(变种和)的六种精油的主要成分进行了调查和测定。结果表明,所有这些精油都具有作为食品防腐剂的巨大潜力,因为在所测定的化合物中,有桧烯、β-月桂烯、α-蒎烯、香芹酚和柠檬烯,所有这些都对针对的强大抗菌活性负责。然而,一些化合物,如芳樟醇和柠檬醛的含量很高,这可能会因过敏反应而对一些敏感人群构成危险。使用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)鉴定并通过气相色谱-火焰离子化检测器(GC-FID)定量的精油化合物占所研究植物品种总精油的95%以上。最后,所有精油都具有较高的酚含量。
