The essential oils (EOs) tested from Satureja montana L. (SM) and Origanum virens Hoffmanns and Link (OV) were provided by The Agricultural Research Centre of Albaladejito (Cuenca, Spain). Extraction was previously described by García-Díaz et al. (2019) [25 (link)]. Briefly, each plant species was extracted by hydrodistillation of the dried aerial parts of aromatic plants, following the methodology proposed by the European Pharmacopoeia in a Clevenger-type apparatus for 2 h. The chromatograms are shown in Appendix B.
These compounds were filtered with sterile 0.22 μm pore size filters (Fisher Scientific, Madrid, Spain) and stored at −20 °C in amber glass vials (Thermo Scientific, Madrid, Spain), until required.
