Abstract

The leaf essential oil ofAjuga ivagrowing wild in Mascara region situated in the North West of Algeria, has been obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. We proposed to determine the physicochemical, organoleptic and chemical identification of these components. Twenty two volatile compounds were identified which included: dienestrol (54.04%), eucalyptol (27%), o-xylene (7.98 %), 1-octadecanol (5.80%); 3-carene (4.46%), (E)-2,3,6- trimethoxypentafulvene-1-carbonitrile (4.34%), (-)-spathulenol (1.77%), nonanal (1.24%). The oil fromAjuga ivashowed activities againstEscherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilis,andPseudomonas aeroginosa. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
