Baker and Smith have isolated an alcohol of the formula C,oH,gO from the cajuput oil, distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca uncinata. The alcohol, which is probably an open-chain compound, forms snow-white crystals, melting at 72 5°, and having a specific rotation + Sfi fifi . [Pg.124]

Other assays have been used to evaluate the antioxidant activity against H202 of several plant-based products, namely, fruit juices from different cultivars of berries (Wang and Jiao 2000), fractions rich in phenolics isolated from the aqueous by-products obtained during the milling of oil palm fruits (Balasundram and others 2005), cherry laurel fruit and its concentrated juice (Liyana-Pathirana and others 2006), and strawberries and blackberries treated with methyl jasmonate, allyl isothiocyanate, essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia, and ethanol (Chanjirakul and others 2007).

A series of very unusual flavanones has been detected in the genera Baeckea, Luma, and Melaleuca, all belonging to the family Myrtaceae (Table 15.7). The compounds are based on 6-C-methylpinocembrin with an unusual substituent at C-8, including a methylated phloroglucinol-based ring structure fused by a 6-carbon heterocyclic ring (which bears either...

A study conducted on EOs from different Melaleuca species showed that the EO containing 1,8-cineole and terpinen-4ol exhibited stronger antiviral activity than those with high methyleugenol or 1,8-cineole contents [138]. [Pg.91]

In many cases, the antioxidant activity of the EOs could not be attributed to the major compounds, and minor compounds might play a significant role in the antioxidant activity, and synergistic effects were reported [158, 171, 176]. For instance, in Melaleuca species, EO containing 1,8-cineole (34%) and ter-pinen-4ol (19%) exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than those with high methyleugenol (97%) or 1,8-cineole (64.30%) contents [138].
