Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, Labiatae) is native to southern Europe. Rosemary acts as a mild analgesic and antimicrobial agent in traditional herbal use [95]. The relative amount of carnosol (Di25) in dried rosemary leaves is 3.8-4.6%. Among the antioxidant compounds in rosemary leaves, 90% of the antioxidant activity can be attributed to Di25 and carnosic acid (ll,12-dihydroxy-8,ll,13-abietatrien-20-oic acid)...

Different plants including spearmint (Mentha spicata L ), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), dill (Anethum graveolens L.), clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) were extracted with CO2 in a high pressure apparatus with 5 L extractor vessel volume. Fractionation of extracts was carried out by releasing the separation pressure at two stages. The extracts were separated into essential oil rich oil and fatty/waxy products. The extracts were collected as separate samples successively in time. The extraction with carbon dioxide was compared to conventional steam distillation (essential oils) and to Soxhlet extraction with hexane (fatty oils).

Camosol (Fignre 6.4) is a natnrally-occurring phytopolyphenol found in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis Labiatae). Camosol functions as antioxidant and anticarcinogen. In the recent stndies we have compared the antioxidant activity of camosol and... 

Cyclopentane bicyclic monoterpenoids that occur in the plant kingdom belong to three major skeletal types camphane, iso-camphane, and fenchane (Fig. 7). Camphane-type terpenoid alcohols, (+)-bomeol (Gl) and (—)-isobomeol (G2), have been isolated from Cinnamomum camphora (Lauraceae) and Achillea filipendulina (Asteraceae). A ketone derived from these, (-h)-camphor (G3), is found in the camphor tree Cinnamomum camphora) and in the leaves of rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis) and sage Salvia officinalis, Labiatae). Camphene (G4) and its enantiomer with the isocamphane carbon skeleton are known to occur in the oils of citronella and turpentine. Fenchane-type bicyclic cyclopentane monoterpenoids are commonly found in plants as their ketone derivatives. (—)-Fenchone (G5) occurs in the tree of life Thuja occidentalis, Cupres-saceae). Its enantiomer, (+)-fenchone (G6), has been isolated from the oil of fennel Foeniculum vulgare, Umbelliferae). 

In this contact, some of the medicinal uses of plants were brought to Brazil, above all, by the Portuguese rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis L.), while some of the Indian habits were taken from here to the European and African continents consumption of peanut Arachis hypogaea L.) is an example of this [3].

The rosemary samples consisted of dried rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis L.) leaves obtained from an herbalist s shop (Murcia, Spain), dried using a traditional method as described previously (17). Samples were ground under cryogenic carbon dioxide and stored (for two months maximum) in amber flasks at -20 C until use. 

Found in eucalyptus essential oil, cineole (88) is also found in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) [127], cardamom (Elettaria) [133], sage (Salvia) [126], Laurus nobilis [143], Alphinia speciosa [144], Aegle marmelos [145], Heteropyxis natalensis [146], Jasonia candicans, and J. montana [147].

The most recent group of botanical products that have seen some commercial success as insecticides are the plant essential oils. Though some of these have traditional uses dating back decades, if not longer, commercialization has only taken place in the past 7-8 years. Plants producing essential oils that have been exploited for insect control include a number of herbs, most notably from the mint family (Lamiaceae), such as garden thyme Thymus vulgaris L.), rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis), and various species of mint Mentha spp.). ...
