Abstract
The essential oils of three individual plants of Artemisia herba-alba, growing wild in tree
different locations from Bordj Bou Arrérridj in East Algeria has been extracted by
hydrodistillation and a microwave distillation process. The main components were α-thujone
(35.1 and 31.2% in HD and MD oils, respectively) for Draâ Ech, davanone (39.6-37.3%) and 1,
8-cineole (9.2-7.8%) for Bordj Ghédir, chrysanthenone (29.6-43.8%), camphor (18.6-16.0%),
and α-thujone (15.9-8.6%) for Bordj Bou Arrérridj. In comparison with HD, MD allows to
obtain oil in a very short time, with the comparable qualities and substantial saving of energy.
The minimum inhibitory concentration of various essential oils shows a power inhibitor not
exceeding 10 µg/mL against all microbial strains. The three chemotypes were slightly active,
and the weak DPPH radical scavenging activity of these oils could be attributed to the absence
of some phenolic components.
