A total of 70 components representing 99.26 % of the total oil were identified. The main compounds in the oil were limonene (11.38 %) and α-pinene (10.74 %). Antioxidant assays (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, superoxide anion radical, and reducing power test) demonstrate moderate activities for the essential oil and its main components (limonene and α-pinene). The essential oil (1000 μg/disc) exhibited promising antimicrobial activity against 10 strains of test microorganisms as a diameter of zones of inhibition (20.8 to 22.2 mm) and MIC values (125 to 250 µg/ml). The activities of limonene and α-pinene were also determined as main components of the oil. α-Pinene showed higher antimicrobial activity than the essential oil with a diameter of zones of inhibition (20.7 to 22.3 mm) and MIC values (62.5 to 125 µg/ml). The antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the essential oil may be attributed to the synergistic effects of its diverse major and minor components. </p></div></front><back><div1

In particular, lipid peroxidation of food lipid components produced during the manufacturing process and food storage is the main cause food quality deterioration, leading to rancidity and changes in the taste, smell, and colour, and eventually the loss of food quality (Mau et al., 2004[<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]). The subsistence and growth of microorganisms in food may also lead to spoilage, toxin formation, and quality deterioration of food products (Celiktas et al., 2007[<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]). Moreover, the consumption of spoiled food encompass a wide spectrum of illnesses and is a growing public health problem worldwide. </p><p>For many years, different synthetic preservatives have been widely used as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents in the food industry to increase the storage and marketing shelf life of food. However, although synthetic preservatives have been proven highly effective and less expensive than natural substances, these compounds exhibit mutagenic activity against non-target organisms (Tripathi et al., 2007[<xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]) and cause environmental pollution (Misra and Pavlostathis, 1997[<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]). The growing interest in the substitution of synthetic food preservatives has fostered research on the screening of new antioxidants and antimicrobial preservatives from natural sources (Bajpai et al., 2008[<xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]). At present, interest in the effective use of essential oils from plants in food preservation has been increasing.</p><p>The genus <italic>Wedelia</italic> comprises approximately 60 species that are distributed in tropical and warm temperate regions, including India, Burma, Ceylon, China, and Japan (Li et al., 2007[<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]). Several species are used as folk medicine in many countries to treat a variety of diseases, such as headaches, fevers, infections, and pathologies of the respiratory tract (Li et al., 2007[<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]; Miles et al., 1990[<xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]). Five of these species, namely, <italic>Wedelia biflora</italic>, <italic>W. urticifolia</italic>, <italic>W. wallichii</italic>, <italic>W. prostrata</italic>, and <italic>W. chinensis</italic>, are found and used as folk medicines in the southern provinces of China. <italic>W. prostrata </italic>is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas in Asia. In traditional Chinese medicine, <italic>W. prostrata</italic> is used for the treatment of inflammation and ulcer.</p><p>A series of studies has demonstrated the potential medicinal effect of essential oils from various <italic>Wedelia </italic>species. For example, essential oil from <italic>W. trilobata</italic> leaves exhibited antibacterial activity against <italic>Bacillus subtilis</italic> and <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> (Nirmal et al., 2005[<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]); essential oil from <italic>W. chinensis</italic> was found effective against gram positive bacteria and fungi; and essential oils from <italic>W. chinensis</italic> and <italic>W. biflora</italic> exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal activities when compared to that of standard ciproflacin (Sureshkumar et al., 2007[<xref rid="R24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]).</p><p>To the best of our knowledge, no report on the phytochemical and biological studies of <italic>W. prostrata</italic> has been published so far<italic>. </italic>The aim of the current study is to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil of <italic>W. prostrata</italic> via gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), evaluate its antimicrobial activity against pathogens and the antioxidant activity.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec><title>Plant material</title><p><italic>W. prostrata</italic> plants were collected in the Danxia Mountains, Guangdong Province, China on June 2009, and identified by Dr. Xun Gong.

The essential oil solution (1 μL) in hexane was injected and analysed under the following column conditions: initial column temperature at 40 °C for 1 min, which was then increased to 250 °C at a 3 °C/min heating ramp, and then subsequently kept at 250 °C for 20 min.</p></sec><sec><title>GC-MS analysis </title><p>Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the essential oil was performed using a GC-MS 6890-5975 system (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) equipped with a HP-5 MS fused silica capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 μm film thickness). For GC-MS detection, an electron ionisation system with a 70 eV ionisation energy was used. Helium gas was used as the carrier gas at a constant flow rate of 1 ml/min. The injector and mass transfer line temperatures were set at 250 and 280 °C, respectively.

The Kovats indices were calculated for all volatile components using a homologous series of n-alkanes (C<sub>8</sub>-C<sub>25</sub>) on the HP-5 MS column. The major oil components were identified via coinjection with standards (whenever possible) and confirmed through the Kovats indices using the Wiley (V.7.0) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) V.2.0 GC-MS library. The relative concentration of each compound in the essential oil was quantified based on the peak area integrated in the analysis program.</p></sec><sec><title>Antioxidant activity determination </title><sec><title>1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity</title><p>0.1 ml of 25, 50, 75 and 100 μg/ml essential oil and its main components (limonene and α-pinene) were each mixed with 1 ml of 0.2 mM DPPH (dissolved in methanol).

The oil sample was analysed via GC-FID and GC-MS, and the components were identified on the basis of their RI values as well as by comparison of their mass spectra with those reported in literature. The GC-MS analysis of the essential oil of <italic>W. prostrata</italic> indicated 70 components representing 99.26 % of the oil (Table 1<xref ref-type="fig" rid="T1">(Tab. 1)</xref>). The composition of the essential oil was as follows: 49.03 % monoterpene hydrocarbon fraction, 26.52 % sesquiterpene hydrocarbon fraction, 4.77 % oxygenated monoterpene fraction, 6.15 % oxygenated sesquiterpenoid fraction, 7.20 % phenylpropanoids fraction and 5.59 % others. The main components in the oil were d-limonene (11.38 %) and α-pinene (10.74 %).</p><p>Previous reports (Craveiro et al., 1993[<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]; Koheil, 2000[<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]) on the <italic>Wedelia </italic>species showed that monoterpene hydrocarbons are the major compounds in their essential oils. The<italic> W. paludosa</italic> oils contain β-pinene (10.3 %), limonene (21.3 %), and γ-muurolene (11.8 %), whereas the major components of the<italic> W. trilobata </italic>oils are α-phellandrene (17.4 %) and limonene (16.3 %) (Craveiro et al., 1993[<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]). The major components of the essential oils obtained from the flowerheads of <italic>W. trilobata</italic> are β-phellandrene (25.65 %), limonene (8.93 %), γ-terpinene (5.90 %), trans-β-caryophyllene (4.83 %) and α-pinene (4.72 %) (Koheil, 2000[<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]). The current results indicate that the essential oil of<italic> W. prostrata</italic> contains components relatively similar to those of other <italic>Wedelia</italic> species<italic>.</italic></p></sec><sec><title>Antioxidant activity </title><p>Free radical-scavenging is one of the known mechanisms by which antioxidants inhibit lipid oxidation (Hatano et al., 1989[<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]). In addition, scavenging activity on DPPH radicals has been widely used to determine the free radical-scavenging activity. The DPPH radical scavenging activity can be reduced by the hydrogen donating ability (Prasad et al., 2005[<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]). Under oxidative stress, the concentration of superoxide radical can dramatically increase in all cells, thereby inducing several pathophysiological processes, because of its transformation into a more reactive species (Wickens, 2001[<xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]). Therefore, the measurement of the comparative interceptive ability of antioxidant extracts by determining their ability to scavenge the superoxide radical has been proposed (Vani et al., 1997[<xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>]). The superoxide anion scavenging activity may be due to the action of a free hydroxyl group (Siddhuraju et al., 2002[<xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]). The reducing power, which is associated with and may be a major indicator of antioxidant activity, is widely used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of polyphenols (Hsu et al., 2006[<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]). Most nonenzymatic antioxidant activity, such as the scavenging of free radicals and the inhibition of peroxidation, is mediated by redox reactions (Zhu et al., 2002[<xref rid="R30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>]). </p><p>The essential oil of <italic>W. prostrata</italic> and its main components (limonene and α-pinene) were screened for possible antioxidant activities using three different test systems, namely, the DPPH, superoxide anion, and reducing power assays. The essential oil and its main components exhibited moderate antioxidant activity at all the concentrations tested (Figures 1-3<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">(Fig. 1)</xref><xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">(Fig. 2)</xref><xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">(Fig. 3)</xref>). The highest percentage of DPPH radical scavenging activity (88.1 %) and superoxide anion scavenging activity (86.2 %) and the highest absorbance of reducing power (0.92) were exhibited by the 100 μg/ml essential oil. The order of antioxidant activity was determined as α-tocopherol > limonene > essential oil > α-pinene. </p><p>Previous studies also revealed that α-pinene (Wang et al., 2008[<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]) and limonene (Maróstica et al., 2009[<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]) possess antioxidant activities, which were confirmed by our results. The current results further show that the antioxidant activity of essential oil can be attributed to the synergistic activities of multiform unsaturated compounds such as limonene and α-pinene.</p></sec><sec><title>Antimicrobial activity</title><p>The antimicrobial activity of <italic>W. prostrata</italic> essential oil and its main components were evaluated against a set of 10 microorganisms, and their potency were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed by the presence or absence of inhibition zones, zone diameters (Table 2<xref ref-type="fig" rid="T2">(Tab. 2)</xref>), and MIC values (Table 3<xref ref-type="fig" rid="T3">(Tab. 3)</xref>).</p><p>Table 2<xref ref-type="fig" rid="T2">(Tab. 2)</xref> shows that the oil has a definite antimicrobial activity against all the test organisms. Limonene and α-pinene also showed considerable antimicrobial activities. In each case, tetracycline showed the highest antimicrobial effect, whereas the essential oil, limonene, and α-pinene were more effective compared to streptomycin. As for the negative control, the concentration of the solvent used in the current study did not affect the growth of the sample strains. </p><p>As shown in Table 3<xref ref-type="fig" rid="T3">(Tab. 3)</xref>, the essential oil exhibited moderate to high antimicrobial effect against all test microorganisms, with MIC values ranging from 125 to 250 μg/ml. Limonene and α-pinene exhibited high antimicrobial effect, with MIC values ranging from 62.5 to 125 μg/ml.</p><p>Earlier papers on the analysis and antibacterial properties of the essential oils of <italic>W. trilobata </italic>have shown that they have varying degrees of growth inhibitory effects against some bacteria because of their chemical constituents, including limonene, β-phellandrene, α-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, β-caryophyllene, and α-pinene (Nirmal et al., 2005[<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]; Craveiro et al., 1993[<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]; Koheil, 2000[<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]). The current study shows that the antimicrobial activity of the oils from <italic>W. prostrata</italic> could, in part, be associated with its major components (limonene, α-pinene, α-phellandrene, and β-caryophyllene). Limonene has been demonstrated to have bacteriostatic activity against several microorganisms (Bakkali et al., 2008[<xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]; Sokovic and van Griensven, 2006[<xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]; Donsì et al., 2011[<xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]; Singh et al., 2010[<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]). Pinene has been previously shown active against many organisms (Bakkali et al., 2008[<xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]; Sokovic and van Griensven, 2006[<xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]; Jiang et al., 2011[<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]). Pinene can destroy the cellular integrity, thereby inhibit the respiration and ion transport processes. Moreover, pinene can also increase the membrane permeability in yeast cells and isolated mitochondria (Uribe et al., 1985[<xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]). The antimicrobial activities of α-phellandrene and β-caryophyllene have also been reported (Simic et al., 2002[<xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]). Our results on the antimicrobial activity of limonene and α-pinene are similar to these reports.</p><p>In addition, the components with lower concentrations, such as γ-terpinene, β-phellandrene, β-pinene, camphene, <italic>p</italic>-cymene, o-cymene, longifolene, and γ-elemene, may also be contributing to the antimicrobial activity of the oil. Therefore, the synergistic effects of the diverse major and minor components of the essential oils should be taken into consideration to account for the oil biological activity (Burt, 2004[<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]). </p><p>The mechanism of action of this class of compounds has not been completely elucidated to date; however, these chemical components may be exerting their toxic effects against these microorganisms through the disruption of bacterial or fungal membrane integrity (Filipowicz et al., 2003[<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>]). Conner and Beuchat (1984[<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]) suggested that the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of herbs and spices or their components could be the result of damage to or disturbance of several enzymatic cell systems, including energy production and synthesis of structural components. </p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusion</title><p>The antioxidative and antimicrobial properties of the essential oils from many plants are of great interest to both the academe and the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries because of their possible use as natural additives to replace synthetic antimicrobial agents.
