His study in the field of Terpene and Trolox is also linked to topics like Biological property.
His most cited work include:
- Geraniol — A review of a commercially important fragrance material (243 citations)
- Eugenol--from the remote Maluku Islands to the international market place: a review of a remarkable and versatile molecule. (210 citations)
- Myricetin: A Dietary Molecule with Diverse Biological Activities (204 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Traditional medicine, Botany, Essential oil, Antimicrobial and Chromatography.
His Traditional medicine study incorporates themes from Indigenous and Pharmacology.
His study in Botany focuses on Myrcene, Genus, Rutaceae, Asteraceae and Phytochemistry.
His Essential oil study is related to the wider topic of Food science.
His Antimicrobial study is concerned with the larger field of Microbiology.
As a part of the same scientific family, Alvaro Viljoen mostly works in the field of Chromatography, focusing on Partial least squares regression and, on occasion, Principal component analysis.
He most often published in these fields:
- Traditional medicine (35.40%)
- Botany (29.19%)
- Essential oil (26.09%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Traditional medicine (35.40%)
- Antimicrobial (23.29%)
- Food science (14.29%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Traditional medicine, Antimicrobial, Food science, Essential oil and Botany.
His work on Phytochemical, Sclerocarya birrea and Croton gratissimus as part of general Traditional medicine research is frequently linked to Health benefits, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His studies examine the connections between Antimicrobial and genetics, as well as such issues in Antibacterial activity, with regards to Combretaceae.
His work deals with themes such as Eugenol, Hexanoic acid and Exudate, which intersect with Food science.
His study looks at the relationship between Essential oil and topics such as Gas chromatography, which overlap with Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry.
His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ingredient, Palmitic acid, DNA barcoding and Linoleic acid.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Best practice in research - Overcoming common challenges in phytopharmacological research (101 citations)
- The in vitro Antimicrobial Activity and Chemometric Modelling of 59 Commercial Essential Oils against Pathogens of Dermatological Relevance. (24 citations)
- Non-destructive quality assessment of herbal tea blends using hyperspectral imaging (17 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Botany
- Enzyme
- Biochemistry
Alvaro Viljoen mainly focuses on Traditional medicine, Antimicrobial, Food science, Essential oil and Minimum inhibitory concentration.
In his research on the topic of Traditional medicine, Athrixia phylicoides is strongly related with Botany.
His Antimicrobial research includes elements of Biofilm, Propolis, Antiseptic and Chrysin.
In general Food science, his work in Ingredient is often linked to Mathematics linking many areas of study.
Alvaro Viljoen has included themes like Salvia chamelaeagnea, Gas chromatography, Broth microdilution and Salvia in his Essential oil study.
The Gas chromatography study combines topics in areas such as Caryophyllene oxide, Limonene and Germacrene D.
