Effect of Photo-oxygenation on Biological Activities of Some Commercial Egyptian Essential Oils

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The components of five common commercial Egyptian essential oils; caraway, cumin, basil, thyme, and rose oils, were identified using gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and Kovats retention index. For each oil the main components were reported. Their biological activities, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage, protein cleavage, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-diabetic effect were tested. The effect of photo-oxygenation reaction on their biological activities, using UV-irradiation in the presence of singlet oxygen sensitizer was investigated.
