Geraniol

them are complicated compounds. EOs consists of chemical compounds which contain hydrogen, carbon and oxygen as their main constituent. They can be divided into two type of composition: (Basma et al. 2013) I. Volatile fraction EO contain of 90-95% of the oil in weight, constitute the monoterpene and sequiterpene hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives II. Non-volatile residue It contain of 1-10% of the oil which constitute hydrocarbons, fatty acids, sterols, carotenoids, waxes and flavonoids. Chemical compounds of C.nardus EOs contain of different constituents in related scientific study. However, there is a similarity among all the reports, which agree that the major components are Citronella, Geraniol and Cironellol. For example, there are 35.50% of Citronella, 27.90% of Geraniol and 10.70% of Citronellol, which comprise about 74.10% of the EO is reported in the study of Koba et.al (2009), while 34.60% of…

suggests they should be approached with a fair amount of caution. Analysis under conditions intended to mimic real-world use has detected large levels of volatile organic compounds, including carcinogens and suspected carcinogens. In fact, burning one coil releases the same amount of particulate matter as more than 100 cigarettes and the formaldehyde found in over 50 cigarettes! Analysis from Taiwanese lung cancer patients shows markedly elevated risks (adjusted odds ratio 3.78) of lung cancer…

the decoctions and extracts of the leaves of this plant are effective remedies in the management and/or control ofconvulsions and epilepsy. However, no scientific data are available to validate the folklore claim. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to evaluate the anticonvulsant potential of the methanol extract of the leaves of Citrus grandisin experimental animal models,with a view to providing a pharmacological justification (or otherwise) for the ethnomedical use of the plant’s…

ovate lanceolate or ovate oblong, acuminate, coriaceous, glabrous, 3 nerved from base to tip , pale yellowish in axillary and terminal, lax puberulous panicles; fruits ovoid, fleshy black drupe, supported by large perianth tube. Flowers are small stalked and cream colored, born in small bunches (panicles) between April and May. The fruit is small, oval, succulent drupe, which ripens between November and February, when it turns black. The fruit is supported by the thickened end of the stalk and…
