Carvacrol and Thymol Content Affects the Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activity of <i>Origanum compactum</i> and <i>Thymus zygis</i> Essential Oils by Mounia Chroho, Youssef Rouphael, Spyridon A. Petropoulos, Latifa Bouissane

“…In this study, essential oils extracted from <i>Origanum compactum</i> and <i>Thymus zygis</i> originating from the Middle Atlas of Morocco were investigated. Their chemical compositions were analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, while the assessment of the trapping power of the radical (DPPH: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and the reducing antioxidant potential of ferric ions (FRAP: Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) were performed in order to evaluate the antioxidant activity. …”

Phenolic Composition, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Extract from Flowers of <i>Rosa damascena</i> from Morocco by Mounia Chroho, Aziz Bouymajane, Yassine Oulad El Majdoub, Francesco Cacciola, Luigi Mondello, Mustapha Aazza, Touriya Zair, Latifa Bouissane

“…This study aimed to investigate the total phenols and flavonoids contents, the phenolic compounds, and study the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the hydroethanolic extract from <i>Rosa damascena</i> flowers, collected from the Middle Atlas of Morocco (Khenifra). The total phenols and flavonoids were assessed using gallic acid and quercetin as standards, and the phenolic compounds were characterized using HPLC-PDA-ESI/MS. …”
