Abstract

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to determine the chemical profile of monoterpenes (including identification of stereoisomers) contained in celery seed essential oil derived from waste celery seeds ( Apium graveolens L.), which did not meet commercial quality criteria as a sowing material, and to evaluate the biological activity and sensory profile of the oil. The main constituent of the oil was (R)-(+)- limonene (75.06%). The antimicrobial activity of the oil was assessed using the impedimetric method to find its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the bacteria ( Bacillus subtilis (MIC 50 μL/mL), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 2 μL/mL), Escherichia coli (MIC 20 μL/mL) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC 30 μL/mL)) as well as the fungi ( Candida vini (MIC 50 μL/mL), Aspergillus niger (MIC 50 μL/mL), and Penicillium expansum (MIC 50 μL/mL)). The oil showed high radical scavenging activity for DPPH (IC50 = 89.11 g/l). Fragrance perception depended on the sex of the panellists.
