Description
Summary:The medicinal value of plant lies in some chemical substances that produce a definite physiological action of which the most important of these bioactive compounds of plants are alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds and in particular the essential oils1;2. [...]these importance in the conservation and protection of agricultural and food products, and also in the face of very serious risks for consumers of food treated with chemical fungals by toxic residues3;4;5;6;7. [...]the orientation of research towards bioactive molecules enjoying antioxidant and antifungal activities then seems promising, and requires a mutation which will undoubtedly allow an annexation between the sphere of scientific research and technological growth. and the revival of the economically profitable industrial sector in the field of essential oil production 8;9;10;6;7. The antimicrobial properties of essential oils have been described, and because of the growing demand on antimicrobials for preventing microbial food spoilage and bacterial infections, there is an increasing interest in medicinal plants as an alternative to synthetic preservatives and antibiotics. The EO extraction was achieved by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger apparatus where 100g of dry leaves immersed in a 1000 ml flask of water for 3 h. The EO obtained is stored in a refrigerator at 4°C.
