Seasonal Variations in Monarda Oil Composition (2011) A study evaluating how essential oil chemistry in Monarda species changes throughout the growing season, with emphasis on fluctuations in thymol, geraniol, and related monoterpenes during different developmental stages. Overview This study examined seasonal changes in the essential oil profile of Monarda species.…
Geraniol: Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity (2010) A study evaluating the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of geraniol, an oxygenated monoterpene found in low concentrations in several Monarda species and associated with fragrance and secondary bioactivity. Overview Geraniol is an oxygenated monoterpene alcohol commonly encountered in aromatic plants. Although not a major…
Volatile Compounds of Monarda Species (2007) A comparative analysis documenting the volatile aromatic compounds present in several Monarda species, including minor constituents that contribute to fragrance and overall essential oil character. Study overview This study examined the volatile profiles of selected Monarda species using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The authors…
