Of the The Arcanian Chronicles, The Man from
Cymene was named one of the Top Ten in SF/Fantasy for 2012 by Preditors & Editors Readers Poll; Space Studs was given a Reviewers Choice award by Paranormal Romance Guild in 2013, and Exile earned a Top Eight in SF/Fantasy award from PRG in 2014.
Combinations of carvacrol,
cymene, thymol, cuminaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and carvone did not work well together, except for the combination of
cymene and carvacrol.
In the case of ABTS radical cation test, the capacity to capture free-radicals decreased in the following order: p- cumenol greater than thymol greater than R-(-)-carvone greater than gamma- terpinene greater than S-(+)-carvone greater than 4-methoxycumene greater than p-
cymene greater than cuminal greater than cuminyl alcohol.
Natural antimicrobial compounds include chitosan, nisin, bacteriocins and several plant essential oils or their components, including oregano, sage, mint, dictamus, thymol, carvacrol, carvone, cuminaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and
cymene. Researchers have started work on beer, milk, fresh meat, apple juice, fresh pork sausage, mayonnaise, salmon, boiled rice, potato and cabbage salad.
Zomorodian et al., 2011 reported terpinene and
cymene as major constituents followed by thymo1 whereas in current study terpinene is the second most dominant constituent from C.
The compounds studied included limonene,
cymene, menthone, 4-ethyl-benzaldehyde, L-carvone and benzaldehyde.
