Fruit peels are generally underutilized byproducts of the food industry, although they are valuable sources of bioactive compounds The aim of this study is to evaluate a new application for three Citrus peel EOs as bio-herbicides. After a micro-morphol. evaluation of Citrus peels by SEM anal., the phytochem. composition of the EOs of Citrus x bergamia Risso & Poit., Citrus x myrtifolia Raf., and Citruslimon (L.) Osbeck was characterized by GC/FID and GC/MS analyses. The in vitro phytotoxicity against germination and initial radical elongation of several crop and weed species was evaluated. Furthermore, the eco-compatibility of these EOs has been assessed by the brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality assay. SEM anal. highlighted the morphometric differences of the schizolysigenous pockets among the peels of the three Citrus species. Oxygenated monoterpenes are the main constituents in C. x bergamia (51.09%), whereas monoterpene hydrocarbons represent the most abundant compounds in C. x myrtifolia (82.15%) and C. limon (80.33%) EOs. They showed marked and selective phytotoxic activity in vitro, often at very low concentration (0.1 μg/mL) against all plant species investigated, without showing any toxicity on Artemia salina, opening the perspective of their use as safe bio-herbicides. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Octyl acetate (cas: 112-14-1Computed Properties of C10H20O2).
Octyl acetate (cas: 112-14-1) belongs to esters. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Liquid esters of low volatility serve as softening agents for resins and plastics. Esters also include many industrially important polymers. Polymethyl methacrylate is a glass substitute sold under the names Lucite and Plexiglas; polyethylene terephthalate is used as a film (Mylar) and as textile fibres sold as Terylene, Fortrel, and Dacron.Computed Properties of C10H20O2
