Analysis and biological activity of the essential oil of rosmarinus officinalis l. from egypt
Abstract
A comparative study of the essential oils prepared from the fresh leaves of plants collected from St Catherine, Sinai (sample I), and from Giza (sample II) was carried out. The yields were 0.14 and 0.40% respectively. Analysis of the oils by gas chromatography‐mass spectroscopy (GC‐MS) led to the identification of 43 components in sample I. These components represented 82% of the total composition of the oil. Verbenone (12.3%), camphor (11.3%), bornyl acetate (7.6%) and limonene (7.1%) were the major constituents. Thirty‐seven components, which represented about 86% of the total composition of the oil, were identified in sample II. Camphor (14.9%), α‐pinene (9.3%), and 1,8‐cineole (9.0%) were the main constituents. Sample II showed a good antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans and Mycobacterium intracellularae . Preliminary screening against the earthworms Allolobophora caliginosa showed that both oils have a marked vermicidal activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
