| Title : | CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS AND BIOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF ESSENTIAL OILS OF HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM (ROTH) G. DON FROM MONTENEGRO |
| Abstract : | The chemical constituents of essential oils isolated from the Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don by steam-distillation were analyzed by GC-MS. The oils were predominantly composed of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons with 52.35%, with γ-curcumene as major constituent (14,11%), β-selinene (11,31%) and α-curcumene (10,42%). The antimicrobial activity of the essential oils was evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Results showed that the oils exhibited antibacterial activities and that Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus subtilis are very sensitive |
