Abstract
|
|
|
|
The essential oil obtained by steam distillation from the herbs of Agastache rugosa showed significant antimicrobial activities against putrefactive bacterial strains along with other bacterial strains. For the elucidation of the volatile components, the essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS. Each component was identified by GC or mass spectral analysis. The identified compounds were as follows : isomenthone, menthone, dihydrocarvone, anethole, vanillin, eugenol, methyleugenol, β-caryophyllene, β-caryophyllene oxide. Several abundant components with phenylpropanoid-type structures were maybe contributable to the activity. This essential oil could be suitable for the development of a food presevative.
