Abstract
Bacteriostatic and Bactericidal Profile of Leaves and Twigs Essential oils of Moroccan Pistacia lentiscus L.Taoufik Haloui, Abdellah Farah, Mounyr Balouiri, Marwa Chraibi, Mouhcine Fadil, Kawtar Fikri Benbrahim, Aziz Belrhiti Alaoui
Highlights
Pistacia lentiscus L. belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, called pistachio mastic or mastic tree
Response surface methodology was used to evaluate the effects of processing parameters and the extraction yields varied in the range of 0.4–0.58% (w/w) under different conditions
This study proved high efficiency of the response surface methodology application to optimize the operational parameters influencing the yield of essential oil extracted by hydro-distillation process of Pistcia lentiscus L. leaves To get a better essential oil yield with the most economic operating parameters
Summary
Pistacia lentiscus L. belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, called pistachio mastic or mastic tree. P. lentiscus grows wild in the forests and scrub of the plains and low mountains (Hmamouchi, 2001). The essential oil of mastic has been shown to have antibacterial (Djenane et al, 2011; Haloui et al, 2015a), Antifungal (Duru et al, 2003), Antioxidant (Benhammou et al, 2008) and insecticide effects (Bachrouch et al, 2010). It is used in cosmetics, perfumery and as a flavoring in food preparations (Daferera et al, 2002)
