| Abstract
The composition of the essential oils obtained from the airdried
Viburnum opulus and Viburnum lantana were analyzed
by GC-MS. 40 and 53 Components were identified in the
essential oils and the main component of these taxons were
phytol and occidenol in the ratios 7.8 and 6.3 % from V. opulus
and V. lantana, respectively. The isolated essential oils of V.
opulus, V. lantana and V. orientala were also tested for antimicrobial
activity against the bacteria E. coli, K. pneumoniae,
P. aeruginosa, E. faecalis, S. aureus, B. cereus and the fungus
C. tropicalis, at maximum essential oil concentrations in hexane
of 250, 500 and 1000 μg/mL, respectively, though no activity
was observed against all the test microorganisms for V. lantana
and V. opulus. However, the essential oil of the V. orientale
showed weak antibacterial activity against Gram-positive
bacteria. |
