It is extensively used worldwide as a spice, flavoring agent and herbal remedy for cold, throat and chest&amp;nbsp;infections and cough. The present study was carried out to analyse an essential oil from the fresh rhizomes of &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale &lt;/em&gt;of Ghaziabad region and to evaluate its antimicrobial activity. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The fresh rhizomes were hydrodistilled to get the essential oil which was analysed by GC and GC-MS techniques. The oil was evaluated for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;The essential oil was characterized by high percentage of sesquiterpenes (66.66%), monoterpenes (17.28%) and aliphatic compounds (13.58%). The predominant sesquiterpene was zingiberene (46.71%) followed by valencene (7.61%), &amp;beta;-funebrene (3.09%) and selina-4(14),7(11)-diene (1.03%). The major monoterpenes were characterized as citronellyl &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;-butyrate (19.34%), &amp;beta;-phellandrene (3.70%), camphene (2.59%) and &amp;alpha;-pinene (1.09%). The essential oil exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against &lt;em&gt;Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Escherichia&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Aspergillus niger&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The essential oil mainly contained a large number of sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes and exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms.&lt;/p&gt;

This is a large, tall, evergreen tree occurring in the Himalayan region from Kashmir to Assam in India. It comes under the Family: Pinaceae. The present study was designed for isolation of flavonoid from ethyl acetate extract of &lt;em&gt;A. webbiana&lt;/em&gt; leaves and assessed their toxic effect on liver and kidney. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The isolation of flavonoid using different chromatographic methods (thin layer and column chromatography). The isolated flavonoid was identified; Structures and chemical bonds were analyzed by using MP, FTIR, 1-H NMR and MS spectral analysis. Effect of flavonoid on liver and kidney was assessed by inducing (0.1 ml/kg) CCl&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; (i.p.) and (6 mg/kg) Cisplatin (i.p.) respectively measured by biochemical marker of liver and kidney. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;It was identified that isolated compound was as 4&amp;rsquo;-hydroxy quercetin on the basis of FTIR, 1-H NMR and MS spectral analysis. Isolated flavonoid reduced the increased biochemical marker (BM) of liver and kidney. The BM was increased by inducing CCl&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; and Cisplatin respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Isolated compound was 4&amp;rsquo;-methoxy quercetin and significantly protect the liver and kidney.&lt;/p&gt;
