Plant Secondary Metabolites as Rodent Repellents: a Systematic Review

Posted by by

Hansen SC, Stolter C, Imholt C, Jacob J J Chem Ecol, 2016 ABSTRACT: The vast number of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) produced by higher plants has generated many efforts to exploit their potential for pest control. We performed a systematic literature search to retrieve relevant publications, and we evaluated these according to PSM groups to… Read more »

Effect of various essential oils isolated from Douglas fir needles upon sheep and deer rumen microbial activity

Posted by by

Oh HK, Sakai T, Jones MB, Longhurst WM Applied microbiology, 1967 ABSTRACT: The effects of essential oils isolated from Douglas fir needles on sheep and deer rumen microbial activity were tested by use of an anaerobic manometric technique. Rumen microorganisms were obtained from a sheep which had been fed mainly on alfalfa hay and dried… Read more »

A review and synthesis of monoterpene speciation from forests in the United States

Posted by by

Gerona C, Rasmussenb R, Arntsc RR, Guentherd A Atmospheric Environment, 2000 ABSTRACT: The monoterpene composition (emission and tissue internal concentration) of major forest tree species in the United States is discussed. Of the 14 most commonly occurring compounds (α-pinene, β-pinene, Δ3-carene, d-limonene, camphene, myrcene, α-terpinene, β-phellandrene, sabinene, ρ-cymene, ocimene, α-thujene, terpinolene, and γ-terpinene), the first… Read more »

The role of structure and molecular properties of terpenoids in determining their antimicrobial activity

Posted by by

Griffin SG, Wyllie SG, Julie L, Markham, Leach DN Flavour and Fragrance Journal, 1999 ABSTRACT: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 60 terpenoids against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans have been determined. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to group the compounds into five groups according to their activity patterns against the four microorganisms. K-Means… Read more »

Variation of terpenes in milk and cultured cream from Norwegian alpine rangeland-fed and in-door fed cows

Posted by by

Borge GI, Sandberg E, Øyaas J, Abrahamsen RK Food chemistry, 2016 ABSTRACT: The terpene content of milk and cream made from milk obtained from cows fed indoors, and by early or late grazing, in alpine rangeland farms in Norway, were analysed for three consecutive years. The main terpenes identified and semi-quantified were the monoterpenes β-pinene,… Read more »

Linalool and beta-pinene exert their antidepressant-like activity through the monoaminergic pathway

Posted by by

Guzmán-Gutiérrez SL, Bonilla-Jaime H, Gómez-Cansino R, Reyes-Chilpa R. Life Sciences, 2015 ABSTRACT: AIMS: Linalool and β-pinene are two volatile monoterpenes that possess antidepressant-like activity. These are components of many aromatic plants used in folk medicine around the world to relieve anxiety and depression. In this contribution, we focused on examining the mechanism of action of… Read more »
