Identification of the major fungitoxic component of cinnamon bark oil
@article{Jham2005IdentificationOT, title={Identification of the major fungitoxic component of cinnamon bark oil}, author={Gulab Newandram Jham and Onkar Dev Dhingra and Carolina Marangon Jardim and V{\^a}nia Maria Moreira Valente}, journal={Fitopatologia Brasileira}, year={2005}, volume={30}, pages={404-408} }
The study was done to identify the most active fungitoxic component of cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) oil that can be used as a marker for standardization of cinnamon extract or oil based natural preservative of stored seeds. Aspergillus flavus and A. ruber were used as test fungi. The hexane extracted crude oil and the hydro-distilled essential oil from cinnamon bark had complete growth inhibition concentration (CGIC) of 300 and 100 µl/l, respectively. Both oils produced three fractions…
