In the present study, to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Malabaila secacul, the aerial parts of this plant were collected from the vicinity of khanzenyan in Fars province during full flowering stage in April 2013. The plant samples were cleaned and dried in the shade, Hydrodistillation method was used to extract the essential oil. The oil yield was 0.43% (w/w) of the dry plant material. The obtained essential oil was analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) using flame ionization (FID) and capillary gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for identification. Twenty-three compounds were detected in the essential oil of Malabaila secacul which concluded 98.90% of the total oil. The major components were Octyl acetate (53.42 %), Octanol (33.55 %), Limonene (2.24 %) and α-Pinene (1.37 %). The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil was evaluated against 6 bacterial strains using the disc diffusion method. The results showed that M. secacul essential oil has considerable antimicrobial effects, on Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. According to the obtained results, the essential oil of this plant can be considered for usage in food and health industries. |
