Abstract:
Essential oils have complex and unique chemical composition and the biochemical mechanism of action on the pathogens or spoilage organisms is specific for each key compound,a synergistic or antagonist effect could occur between the active components from the natural mixture.
The essential oils active compounds responsible for the antioxidant, anti?mycobacterial,anti?viral and anti?carcinogenic (anti?tumoral) activities has molecular characteristics (unipolarity, the hydrophobicity, the molar volume and the dipole moment) associated with the specific biological activity (cellular and metabolism damage of the bio target).
Audience Take Away:
- Key compounds active anti-viral and anti-tumoral effects.
- Assessment of the biological effects of essential oils.
- The mechanism of cytotoxicity inhibition.
