Our intention is to: • Provide stakeholders with early access to the results of ongoing and completed work to inform their decisions, and • Inform researchers of results to shape research direction. Essential Oils and Plant Extracts RIRDC Completed Projects 2011–12 and Research in Progress at June 2012 contains short summaries of projects funded by the Program. The Program aims to provide R & D to provide the knowledge and skills base for industry to provide high, consistent and known qualities in their essential oils and plant extracts products that respond to market opportunities and enhance profitability. The objectives for the Essential Oils and Plant Extracts Program are to: 1. Improve production systems to raise productivity and control over product qualities 2. Support the demonstration of safety and effectiveness of Australian products and facilitate the satisfaction of regulatory requirements to enhance market access 3. Support new ideas that provide potential for growing the market for Australian product 4. Improve the industry and research capacity.

Any rust resistant plant types (phenotypes) will be marked in the trial during final assessment in March 2012. It is proposed that, if rust-resistance is found in the taxa, these selections be vegetatively propagated into separate breeding populations in a follow-on project. These populations will form the basis for further studies of rust resistance in this species and be the prime source of rust- resistant cultivars for release to the native food and other industries using Backhousia citriodora. Background Cultivars of B. citriodora currently in use in plantations for native food and essential oil production and in the nursery trade are moderately to highly susceptible to an exotic rust fungus, Puccinia psidii sensu lato (s.l.) (syn Uredo rangelii), commonly known as myrtle rust. These industries urgently require rust resistant planting stock of this species if they are to maintain production and organic status. Research Variation in incidence and severity of rust attack was found between and within provenances of in a genepool planting of the species at B. citriodora Beerburrum in southeastern Queensland. Families from southern Queensland provenances had a low level of infection in comparison with sources from far northern Queensland. Nineteen plants of one family from Woondum were clear of any rust attack when assessed in May 2012. Outcomes Rust resistant plant types (phenotypes) were marked during the May 2012 assessment for potential transfer by cloning to other sites for further testing. Recommendations on how best to take advantage of these research findings was presented in the final report. Implications This project has shown that it may be possible to select rust resistant cultivars of to replace the susceptible cultivars that are presently used by the B. citriodora native food, essential oil and nursery industries. Caution is warranted, however, as there is still much to learn about the disease and this was but one assessment of disease incidence and severity at one time. Further research on the phenotypes showing most resistance to attack is recommended The identification in this myrtaceous species of some inherent resistance to myrtle rust offers hope that similar resistance will be found in other Australian species that are presently under heavy fungal attack. 1 Completed Projects - Demonstration

  • The Following Carcinogenic Essential Oils Should Not Be Used In
    Aromatherapy Undiluted- Safety and Ethics Copyright © Tony Burfield and Sylla Sheppard-Hanger (2005) [modified from a previous article “A Brief Safety Guidance on Essential Oils” written for IFA, Sept 2004]. Intro In the last 20 years aromatherapy has spread its influence to the household, toiletries and personal care areas: consumer products claiming to relax or invigorate our psyche’s have invaded our bathrooms, kitchen and living room areas. The numbers of therapists using essential oils in Europe and the USA has grown from a handful in the early 1980’s to thousands now worldwide. We have had time to add to our bank of knowledge on essential oils from reflecting on many decades of aromatherapeutic development and history, the collection of anecdotal information from practicing therapists, as well as from clinical & scientific investigations. We have also had enough time to consider the risks in employing essential oils in therapy. In the last twenty years, many more people have had accidents, been ‘burnt’, developed rashes, become allergic, and become sensitized to our beloved tools. Why is this? In this paper, we hope to shed light on this issue, clarify current safety findings, and discuss how Aromatherapists and those in the aromatherapy trade (suppliers, spas, etc.) can interpret this data for continued safe practice. After a refresher on current safety issues including carcinogenic and toxic oils, irritant and photo-toxic oils, we will look at allergens, oils without formal testing, pregnancy issues and medication interactions. We will address the increasing numbers of cases of sensitization and the effect of diluting essential oils.

Methods: T. lanceolata solvent extracts were investigated by disc diffusion assay against a panel of bacteria and fungi and their MIC values were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Toxicity was determined using the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay. Results: All T. lanceolata extracts displayed antibacterial activity in the disc diffusion assay.

University of Tasmania HOBART March 1996 This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 University of Tasmania HOBART March 1996 Abstract This thesis examines several aspects of the preparation, extraction and analysis of solvent soluble compounds from leaf material of Tasmannia lanceolata and reports a preliminary survey of extracts of some members of the natural population of the species in Tasmania. A major constituent of these extracts, polygodial, was shown to be stored within specialised idioblastic structures scattered throughout the mesophyll, and characterised by distinctive size and shape, and a thickened wall. The contents of these cells were sampled directly, analysed and compared with the composition of extracts derived from ground, dry whole leaf. This result was supported by spectroscopic analysis of undisturbed oil cells in whole leaf tissue. In a two year field trial, the progressive accumulation of a number of leaf extract constituents (linalool, cubebene, caryophyllene, germacrene D, bicyclogermacrene, cadina-1,4 - diene, aristolone and polygodial) during the growth flush was followed by a slow decline during the subsequent dormant season.

The essential oils obtained from its leaves (LEO) and fruits (FEO) were evaluated for chemical composition cytotoxic, genotoxic and antifungal activities. The extraction of the essential oils was accomplished by the hydrodistillation technique. The characterization and quantification of the constituents were performed by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry detector and gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector, respectively. The cytotoxic assay using tumor cells (lung adenocarcinoma, breast carcinoma, and melanoma) and normal cells was determined by the MTS assay. Genotoxic potential on normal cells was evaluated by Cometa assay. The analysis of antifungal activity was performed by evaluating the inhibitory effect on the growth of the Aspergillys carbonarius and Aspergillus flavus filamentous fungi using the disc diffusion test.

Traditional screening that involves isolation and identification/quantitation is tedious, time consuming, and generates a significant amount of chemical waste. Here, we present a simple, fast, and green strategy to assess 0.1% wt/wt quantities of useful compounds in plants/spices using pressurized hot ≥ water extraction using a household espresso machine followed by chemical analysis using capillary electrophoresis. Three demonstrations with polygodial, cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and shikimic acid as target metabolites are shown. Direct analysis of extracts was by the developed micellar electrokinetic chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis methods. The approach, which can be implemented in less developed countries, can process many samples within a day, much faster than traditional techniques that would normally take at least a day. Finally, 0.8–1.1% wt/wt levels of shikimic acid were found in Tasmanian-pepperberry and Tasmanian-fuschia leaves via the approach.
