Abstract

In this study, the cold press oil components and antimicrobial activities of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) and anise (Pimpinella anisum) and white mustard (Sinapis alba) and black mustard (Brassica nigra) species seeds, which are widely used by the people for alternative medicine, were determined. F. vulgare, P. anisum, S. alba and B. nigra species seeds were obtained from cultivated areas in central Anatolia in Turkey. The oil was extracted by using a screw press (MP-001 Cold Press, Turkey), and the volatile oil components and fatty acid components in these oils were analysed by GCMS and total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activities by DPPH and FRAP (%) method were determined. Antimicrobial activities of obtained oils were investigated by using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test by against 18 different species microorganisms. In the GCMS results, F. vulgare and P. anisum oils were found to be the most abundant components which were anethole (89.74%, 88.95%, respectively). According to these results, the plants oils didn’t show any antimicrobial activities against tested microorganisms. However especially white and black mustard oils showed strong antioxidant activity when compared with artificial antioxidants.
