Abstract:
Background & Purpose: The essential oils from different plants are extensively used in the perfume, beverage and food industries and are reported to exhibit antimicrobial activities against a variety of fungi. Zhumeria majdae is a rare and endemic medicinal plant species grown wild in Iran. The leaves have been used for many years as a curative for stomach aches, as an antiseptic, carminative especially in infants and for treatment of painful menstruation. This plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family and has a strong and pleasant odor. Materials & Methods: Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis was performed to determine the main constituents of aerial part of Z. majdae essential oil. Also the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using serial dilution method. Results: Based on GC/MS analysis, 31 compounds representing 95.36% of the aerial part oil, respectively were identified; of which linalool (63.40%) and camphor (27.48%) were the major compounds. Total phenolic content was 42.74 mg GAE/g dw. The hydro distilled essential aerial part oil display potential of antifungal activity against the tested 7 phytopathogenic fungus (Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytesm, Aspergillus flavus, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum and Epidermophyton floccosum). The inhibition zones and MIC values for all test strains, which were sensitive to the essential oil of Z. majdae were in the range of 29 mm and 0.015 μl ml�??1, respectively. Conclusion: The results support the traditional usage and also possible use of Z. majdae essential oil in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
