The study investigates the molluscicidal properties of essential oils from Syzygium cumini and Hymenaea courbaril, extracted through hydrodistillation and analyzed via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Toxicity tests using Artemia salina indicated both oils were nontoxic, with specific LC50 values for each. The molluscicidal assays revealed effective concentrations against Biomphalaria glabrata, suggesting these essential oils could serve as natural alternatives to combat schistosomiasis-carrying snails.
