Abstract

The need for efficient plant-based remedies is becoming acknowledged across the world as the incidence of infectious diseases rises. Essential oils have been actively studied in the research for plant-derived biomolecules that can substitute synthetic medications and, to some extent, eliminate or lessen their side effects. The goal of this study was to explore the presence of phytochemicals in neroli essential oil as well as its many therapeutic properties. We aimed to present a thorough viewpoint on researching essential oil extracted from the bloom of the bitter orange tree as a suitable replacement for synthetic counterparts. The various components present in the essential oil were identified using GC-MS analysis. The oil's antimicrobial properties were tested against a variety of fungal strains. The antioxidant potential was assessed using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy) reagent in a free radical scavenging experiment. The oil exhibited a variable degree of anti-microbial nature against the bacterial and fungal strains. Furthermore, the antimalarial and antituberculosis property was also evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis respectively. Finally, a study for determining the cytotoxicity activity of the oil was studied on the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line. The study's findings revealed that neroli essential oil has natural components that can be used to cure a variety of ailments.
