Dittrichia viscosa L. leaves lipid extract: An unexploited source of essential fatty acids and tocopherols with antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties

The results show that lipid extract of D. viscosa leaves could be considered as an exceptional source of essential fatty acids (i.e., linoleic and the linolenic acids) and tocopherols (α-tocophérol and δ-tocophérol) and suggests the important value of this extract as new source to control Candida and Malassezia infections as well as inflammatory diseases.
