Plumeria alba flowers are used in traditional remedies for diarrhea, cough, fever, and asthma treatment. This work evaluated the chemical composition and the biological activities of essential oils obtained from the flowers and leaves of Plumeria alba. The essential oils were extracted using the Clevenger-type apparatus and characterized using GC-MS. In the flower essential oil, a total of 17 compounds were identified, with linalool (23.91%), \u03b1-terpineol (10.97%), geraniol (10.47%), and phenyl ethyl alcohol (8.65%) being abundant. In the leaf essential oil, a total of 24 compounds were identified, with benzofuran, 2,3-di, hydro-(3.24%), and muurolol (1.40%) being present. Antioxidant activities were assessed using hydrogen peroxide scavenging, phosphomolybdenum, and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging assays. Antimicrobial activities were assessed through a microdilution assay. The essential oil showed antimicrobial activity against test microorganisms with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 25.0 to 50.0\u2009mg\/mL. Biofilm inhibition ranged from 27.14\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0 to 58.99\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6\u2009mg\/mL. The essential oil exhibited total antioxidant capacities which ranged from 17.5\u2009\u03bcg\/g AAE to 83\u2009\u03bcg\/g AAE in the phosphomolybdenum assay. The IC50 values in the DPPH and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging assays for both flowers and leaves ranged from 18.66\u2009\u03bcg\/mL to 38.28\u2009\u03bcg\/mL. Both essential oils also displayed good antibiofilm activities, with the concentration required for half-maximal inhibition of biofilm formation being \u223c60\u2009mg\/mL for both oils. This study shows that essential oils of Plumeria alba possess good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and could be used as a source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobial agents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/1040478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,22]],"date-time":"2023-02-22T20:20:10Z","timestamp":1677097210000},"page":"1-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Chemical Characterization, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Antibiofilm Activities of Essential Oils of Plumeria alba (Forget-Me-Not)"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"given":"Kirsty","family":"Mary Mawumenyo Mamattah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abigail","family":"Kusiwaa Adomako","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2290-3230","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Caleb","family":"Nketia Mensah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5037-0777","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lawrence Sheringham","family":"Borquaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"},{"name":"Central Laboratory, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1201\/9781351246460-6","article-title":"Chemistry of essential oils","volume-title":"Handbook of Essential Oils","author":"C.
