Abstract:
A study of some aspects of essential oil secretion in plants was conducted. The first part of the study involved analysis of the volatile terpenoid content and composition of leaf extracts from a range of Australian native plants by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Secretory structures were studied by several microscopic imaging techniques including conventional bright and dark field optical microscopy, confocal microscopy, and scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. Three methods were employed for scanning electron microscopy. Sample material was prepared for conve

The potential use of waste stream essential oils were evaluated as fuel supplements for diesel vehicle/machinery used by producers of these oils. Orange, eucalyptus and tea tree oils were selected; which are native to and/or extensively cultivated throughout Australia. These essential oils are mainly used in the medical and natural therapy sector as well as fragrance and flavouring industry. The high quality of the final product leads to a significant very low value waste stream. Engine performance and emissions evaluation showed that essential oils are comparable to diesel fuel.

Thesis (M.Pharm.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Health Sciences, 2013.<br>Essential oils are not only used singularly but have been used in combination for many years. There is, however, very little scientific evidence to support the claims made for combined antimicrobial efficacy. With this in mind, a study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil, in combination with other essential oils with antimicrobial relevance. The micro-dilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay was undertaken, whereby the frac

Abstract:
The overriding aim of this series of studies was to investigate the psychological, physiological, and psychophysiological effects of exposure to odours of purportedly sedative (petitgrain and Roman chamomile) and stimulant (rosemary and spike lavender) essential oils. More specifically, the purpose of these studies was to determine whether inhalation of essential oils produces reliable changes in mood, behavioural responding, physiological functioning, psychological functioning, and cognitive processing, as well as whether these changes are consistent with the supposed therapeutic effec

Resumo A População Mundial está a aumentar, prevendo-se 10 biliões de pessoas na terra em 2050. Para obter o maior rendimento de culturas, é crucial controlar as infestantes, pois causam uma perda da produção total anual de aproximadamente 9,7%. Durante muitos anos os herbicidas controlaram eficazmente as infestantes e sem estes a Revolução Verde não aconteceria, mas o seu uso abusivo a nível mundial, levou à emergência de infestantes resistentes a herbicidas e a elevados níveis de resíduos no solo, água e alimentos. Os Bioherbicidas podem ser uma alternativa natural aos herbicidas sintético

Abstract:
Vetiver grass is a viable vegetative absorbent and erosion barrier; in addition the valuable oils extracted from its roots are playing an increasing role in the perfume, food and pharmaceutical industries. The quantity and quality of oil extracted from the vetiver grass depends strongly on location of growth, and the extraction and separation techniques adopted. The aim of this research project is to evaluate whether the harvesting and extracting of essential oils from locally grown vetiver grass would be a feasible business idea, as well as, which extraction technique will give the highest yi

碩士<br>嘉南藥理科技大學<br>化妝品科技研究所<br>99<br>Microorganism contamination is one of the most important problems in cosmetic industry, and microorganism lead to product degradation or, in the case of pathogens, constitute a risk for the health of the consumer. Therefore, preservatives inhibiting the growth of microorganisms are added to a product, but allergies after using cosmetics occur more and more frequently, which is quite often associated with the presence of synthetic preservatives. For this reason, this study was to verify the antimicrobial activity of essential oils as the components of preserv
