E-mail: [email protected] Summary. Nowadays, innumerable synthetic and naturally sourced antioxidants are used to overcome the quality problems of fish and fish products. When considering the rejection of synthetic additives by consum- ers, demand for the natural sources food supplements has increased. This study focuses on the potential use of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) extracts as natural antioxidant in fish oil during accelerated storage. Ethanolic (70%) extracts of spearmint and liquorice were prepared and synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) added into the fish oil in different concentrations (100, 500 and 1,000 ppm). The peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid value (TBARS), para-anisidine value (p-Av) and UV-spectrum analyses of fish oil were evaluated during storage at 55oC. Throughout the the storage period the PV, TBARS value, p-Av, conjugated dienes (UV232) and conjugated trienes (UV270) values of spearmint and liquorice extracts added samples were significantly lower than the control and BHT added samples. Ac- cording to results of the study, 500 and 1,000 ppm concentrations of spearmint and liquorice extracts were more effective in prevention of lipid oxidation in fish oil. The results revail that spearmint and liquorice ex- tracts could be a natural antioxidant source for oxidative stability of fish oil.

The obtained polymeric films consisted of PLA, a natural biocide, and tea tree essential oil (5–20 wt. %) was prepared with or without an addition of 5 wt. % PEG. The PLA-based materials have been tested, taking into account their morphology, and their thermal, mechanical and antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It was established that the introduction of a plasticizer into the PLA–TTO systems leads to an increase in tensile strength, resistance to deformation, as well an increased thermal stability, in comparison to films modified using only TTO.

  • Verticillium Wilt of Mint in the United States of America
    plants Review Verticillium Wilt of Mint in the United States of America Jeremiah K. S. Dung Central Oregon Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Madras, OR 97741, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 10 November 2020; Published: 18 November 2020 Abstract: Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungus Verticillium dahliae, is the most important and destructive disease of mint (Mentha spp.) in the United States (U.S.). The disease was first observed in commercial mint fields in the Midwestern U.S. in the 1920s and, by the 1950s, was present in mint producing regions of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Verticillium wilt continues to be a major limiting factor in commercial peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and Scotch spearmint (Mentha x gracilis) production, two of the most important sources of mint oil in the U.S. The perennial aspect of U.S. mint production, coupled with the soilborne, polyetic nature of V. dahliae, makes controlling Verticillium wilt in mint a challenge. Studies investigating the biology and genetics of the fungus, the molecular mechanisms of virulence and resistance, and the role of soil microbiota in modulating host-pathogen interactions are needed to improve our understanding of Verticillium wilt epidemiology and inform novel disease management strategies. This review will discuss the history and importance of Verticillium wilt in commercial U.S. mint production, as well as provide a format to highlight past and recent research advances in an effort to better understand and manage the disease. Keywords: Verticillium dahliae; Mentha; soilborne plant pathogens; disease management 1.

  • Essential Oils for Beginners Essential Oils for Beginners
    Essential Oils for Beginners Essential Oils for Beginners Introduction The Power of the Entire Earth in One Bottle Our planet is a complicated system, made up of intricate ecosystems, endless molecules, and powerful elements. Over the span of 4.5 billion years, the Earth has formed colossal mountains, green valleys, leafy jungles, and vast forests, providing a home for countless plants and animals. On the 196,900,000 square miles of the planet’s surface, scientists estimate that there are 390,000 plants—with new species being discovered all the time. The hundreds of thousands of plants actually perform a number of important functions for the planet. Plants help control the climate, process carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air to help us breathe, keep living organisms alive, and can be used for food and health solutions, among many other practical uses. With so many benefits, it is no surprise that plants have been used since the beginning of time to help humans perform everyday tasks. 2 Essential Oils for Beginners Ancient times People of ancient civilizations used entire plants, extracts, and various plant parts to make life easier, transforming the gifts of the earth into everything from textiles to remedies. Ancient people believed that the earth gave them everything they needed to solve all of their problems. Present day Fast-forward to modern day. Plants are still everywhere around us, yet with new inventions and technology, we’ve grown accustomed to using synthetic products rather than the gifts of nature to solve everyday challenges. Technology has made life easier, but along with technological advancements, we’ve seen a decline in many areas of quality of life.

Here, blanket-drags and standardised walks were employed to evaluate tick acquisition by 1 m2 cotton blankets or cotton trousers, respectively, in woodland edge habitats of known high tick abundance. Blankets and trousers had been treated with one of 5% oregano, rosemary, spearmint or thyme oils, 20% DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) (positive control) or ethanol excipient-only (negative control).

  • Basic Principles of Blending
    Basic Principles of Blending While there are no hard and fast rules in blending essential oils for Aromatherapy, the following hints may be helpful. You should adopt the following basic principles as a general rule Until you gain considerable experience stick to no more than three or four oils at a time Ensure the odour of the blend will be pleasing for the person(s) you will be using it on Ensure that the person(s) you will be using the blend on are not allergic to any of the ingredients – ask them Selecting essential oils Many Aromatherapists’ use a traditional concept of top, middle and base notes when preparing aromatherapy blends. Essential oils can be grouped into one of these three categories. The following table details a number of essential oils and whether they can be identified as top, middle or base notes. Top Notes Middle Notes Base Notes Bergamot German Chamomile Carrot Seed Cinnamon Cardamom Cedarwood Clove Geranium Cistus Grapefruit Ginger Clary sage Lemon Lavender Frankincense Lemongrass Sweet Marjoram Myrrh Lime Palmarosa Patchouli Mandarin Pine Peru Balsam Neroli Rosemary Sandalwood Petitgrain Rosewood Spikenard Sweet Orange Ylang Ylang Vetiver Peppermint Thyme Top notes are usually fresh, citrus and light. These form the blend’s initial impression, giving brightness and clarity to it. They usually have refreshing and uplifting therapeutic properties. Middle notes (or heart notes) last longer, imparting the warmth and fullness of the blend. They give body to a blend and are mostly found in essential oils distilled from leaves and herbs. Base notes are the heavy smelling, deeply resonating and have a profound influence on the blend.
