Essential Oil Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Angelica archangelica L. (Apiaceae) Roots
View through CrossRef
In this paper, the chemical composition and the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of
Angelica archangelica
L. (Apiaceae) roots from central Italy were analyzed. The major constituents of the oil were α-pinene (21.3%), δ-3-carene (16.5%), limonene (16.4%) and α-phellandrene (8.7%). The oil shows a good antimicrobial activity against
Clostridium difficile
,
Clostridium perfringens
,
Enterococcus faecalis
,
Eubacterium limosum
,
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius
, and
Candida albicans
with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 0.25, 0.25, 0.13, 0.25, 2.25, and 0.50% v/v, respectively. A weaker antimicrobial activity against bifidobacteria and lactobacilli—very useful in the intestinal microflora—has also been shown with MIC values >4.0% v/v.
