thymbra spicata/hydrocarbon

The effects of steam flow rate (1.03 and 0.64 L/h), distillation time, and particle size (0.50, 1.00, 2.05 mm) of Thymbra spicata on essential oil yield and sequence of extraction of compounds were studied. A logarithmic model fitted well to experimental data. The composition of the essential oil

The water-distilled essential oil the leaves of Coridothymus capitatus were analyzed by GC/MS and also analyzed by direct thermal desorption GC/MS. Comparison was made between two analyses techniques. The essential oil consisted mainly of monoterpenes 98.9%, while oxygenated hydrocarbons were

The essential oils of THYMBRA SPICATA and SATUREJA THYMBRA growing wild in Israel were investigated by means of GLC and GC-MS. The main components of the oils were carvacrol, thymol, gamma-terpinene and P-cymene. Eleven monoterpene hydrocarbons, two sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and nine oxygenated

The Portuguese pine forest has become dangerously threatened by pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Synthetic chemicals are the most common pesticides used against phytoparasitic nematodes but its use has negative ecological impacts.
