Antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of some essential oils.

Abstract: In this study the composition and antimicrobial properties of essential oils obtained fromOriganum onites, Mentha piperita, Juniperus exalsa, Chrysanthemum indicum, Lavandula hybrida, Rosa damascena, Echinophora tenuifolia, Foeniculum vulgare were examined. To evaluate thein vitro antibacterial activities of these eight aromatic extracts; theirin vitro antimicrobial activities were determined by disk diffusion testing, according to the NCCLS criteria.Escherichia coli (ATTC 25922J,Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) andPseudomonas aeruginosa (ATTC 27853 were used as standard test bacterial strains.Origanum onites recorded antimicrobial activity against all test bacteria, and was strongest againstStaphylococcus aureus. ForRosa damascena, Mentha piperita andLavandula hybrida antimicrobial activity was recorded only toStaphylococcus aureus. Juniperus exalsa, and Chrysanthemum indicum exhibited antibacterial activities against bothStaphylococcus aureus andEscherichia coli. We also examined thein vitro antimicrobial activities of some components of the essential oils and found some components with antimicrobial activity.

Medicinal flowers. VI. Absolute stereostructures of two new flavanone glycosides and a phenylbutanoid glycoside from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L.: their inhibitory activities for rat lens aldose reductase.

Abstract: Two new flavanone glycosides, (2S)- and (2R)-eriodictyol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acids, and a new phenylbutanoid glycoside, (2S, 3S)-1-phenyl-2,3-butanediol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, were isolated from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L. cultivated in China together with eight flavonoids. The absolute stereostructures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. Both of the new flavanone glycosides were found to show inhibitory activity for rat lens aldose reductase.

The determination of flavonoid content of flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum

Abstract: The determination and screening study of flavonoid content of flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L. from different place of production and different processing methods were examined. The analytical results showed that the best flower of Chrysanthemum indicum was collected in Macheng city of Hubei Province and processed by baking method.The flavonoid content is more than 11% in six batches flowers and the quality accord with demands.

Studies on post harvest shelf life of cut Chrysanthemum indicum and Tagetes erecta flowers

Abstract: Post harvest changes affect the commercial viability of cut flowers. One of these changes is the fresh weight of the flower as influenced by its water balance. The cut flowers are placed in different preservative solutions namely sucrose, cobalt salts, calcium salts, citric acid, sodium benzoate and growth hormones and changes in fresh weight and water balance noted. Of all, cobalt nitrate gave good results.

Hair Restorer Composition and the Production Method thereof

Abstract: PURPOSE: Provided are a hair restorer composition and a production method thereof by using natural products as main ingredients, thereby preventing depilation and promoting hair growth CONSTITUTION: A hair restorer composition is characterized by containing: 8-13 wt% of Angelica gigas Nakai, chrysanthemum, peppermint, ginseng, garlic and licorice root, respectively; and 5-18 wt% of mulberry root, chrysanthemum indicum leaf, Lycium chinense Mill leaf, peach leaf and Sophora flavescens AIT, respectively

Studies on the chemical constituents of the volatile oil from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum by supercritical fluid extraction

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents of the volatile oil from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L..METHODS The essential oil was obtained by supercritical fluid extraction(SFE) and steam distillation. The chemical compositions were separated and identified by GC MS. The relative contents in the essential oil were determined by area nomalization.RESULTS The extraction efficiency of steam distillation was 0.32%, and 46 chemical constituents were separated and identified. The extraction efficiency of supercritical fluid extraction was 3.4%, and 60 chemical constituents were separated and identified.CONCLUSION Monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and their oxo derivatives appeared to be the major chemical constituents in the oil from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L..The SFE method demonstrated many advantages, such as short extraction time, and accurate with high extraction efficiency, etc.
