Effect of various essential oils isolated from Douglas fir needles upon sheep and deer rumen microbial activity

Oh HK, Sakai T, Jones MB, Longhurst WM Applied microbiology, 1967 ABSTRACT: The effects of essential oils isolated from Douglas fir needles on sheep and deer rumen microbial activity were tested by use of an anaerobic manometric technique. Rumen microorganisms were obtained from a sheep which had been fed mainly on alfalfa hay and dried… Read more »

A review and synthesis of monoterpene speciation from forests in the United States

Gerona C, Rasmussenb R, Arntsc RR, Guentherd A Atmospheric Environment, 2000 ABSTRACT: The monoterpene composition (emission and tissue internal concentration) of major forest tree species in the United States is discussed. Of the 14 most commonly occurring compounds (α-pinene, β-pinene, Δ3-carene, d-limonene, camphene, myrcene, α-terpinene, β-phellandrene, sabinene, ρ-cymene, ocimene, α-thujene, terpinolene, and γ-terpinene), the first… Read more »

Variation of terpenes in milk and cultured cream from Norwegian alpine rangeland-fed and in-door fed cows

Borge GI, Sandberg E, Øyaas J, Abrahamsen RK Food chemistry, 2016 ABSTRACT: The terpene content of milk and cream made from milk obtained from cows fed indoors, and by early or late grazing, in alpine rangeland farms in Norway, were analysed for three consecutive years. The main terpenes identified and semi-quantified were the monoterpenes β-pinene,… Read more »
