The chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Mentha pulegium L. (Linné) collected in Sicily was evaluated by GC and GC-MS. The main components were pulegone (50.6%), piperitenone (27.8%) and menthone (6.9%). Comparison of this oil with other studied oils of different populations is discussed. The oil showed good antibacterial and antifungal activities against some microorganisms that infest historical art works.

Essential oil was obtained in a yield 1.1%, w/w, by steam distillation of Elionurus tristis leaves from Madagascar. The chemical composition was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by GC-MS and GC-FID, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first chemical analysis of this essential oil. Seventy-three compounds were identified, corresponding to 94.9% of the total essential oil. The principal compounds were sesquiterpenes and the more represented were β-gurjunene (18.4%), neoclovene (15.8%) and nootkatone (10.4%). Through a comparative study, we observed a large variability between the components of E. tristis essential oil and those from others species of the same genus. Evaluation of the antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH assays) and anti-tuberculosis activities of the essential oil showed weak antioxidant potency but an interesting anti-tuberculosis activity with a MIC of 32 mg/L. This activity prompted us to evaluate individually the major components for the treatment of tuberculosis.
