Effects of Variety and Ontogenic Stage on the Essential Oil Composition and Biological Activity of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.)
Abstract
The essential oils obtained from three varieties of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (dulce, vulgare and azoricum) harvested at three ontogenic stages (early, late waxy and ripe seed) were evaluated for their chemical composition and biological activity. (E)-anethole, limonene and fenchone contents were greatly influenced by the varieties and by the harvesting times. The antibacterial activity of the various oils against 25 microorganisms was evaluated. The inhibition of Aeromonas hydrophila, Alcaligenes faecalis and Clostridium sporogenes was of particular interest and there was a marked antifungal potency against Aspergillus niger.

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.
