	abstract = {This study was focused on the analysis of the phenolic content, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-cholinesterase, anti-tyrosinase, anti-amylase and anti-glucosidase activity of three solvent extracts from Cotoneaster nummularia. Moreover, water extract was tested in terms of mutagenic/anti-mutagenic effects. The antioxidant activities of these extracts were evaluated by DPPH, ABTS, O-2, metal chelating, phosphomolybdenum, beta-carotene/linoleic acid, ferric and cupric reducing power assays. Enzyme inhibitory activities were also examined with colorimetric methods. Generally, methanol and water extracts exhibited excellent biological activities. These extracts were rich in phenolic and flavonoid content. Furthermore, Cotoneaster extracts indicated appreciable antibacterial properties against human pathogen strains. HPLC analysis showed that ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, (-) - epicatechin and (+)-catechin were the major phenolics in extracts tested. These data offer that these extracts from C. nummularia may be considered as a potential source of biological agents for developing functional foods or drug formulations.},

	abstract = {The chemical composition of the essential oil of Cacalia hastata L. var. orientalis has been investigated by GC and GC-MS. Important odor-active compounds were detected in the oil by GC-MS/Olfactometry (GC-MS/O) and aroma extraction dilution analysis (AEDA). Fifty-one compounds were identified in the oil by GC-MS. The major components of the essential oil were (+)-(4S)-cacalohastine (48.8\%), germacrene D (11.4\%), and myrcene (10.2\%). GC-MS/O and AEDA showed that gamma-terpinene, hexanol, and p-mentha-2,4(8)-diene were the most characteristic aroma compounds of the oil. It seems that these components are responsible for the fresh odor of C. hastata L. var. orientalis.},
