Evaluation of the antimicrobial performance of menthol and menthol-based deep eutectic solvents as potential future antibiotic

Triggered by the strong antimicrobial activities of menthol and various fatty acids, eutectic mixtures based on components are developed, producing new solvents that have possibilities to become a antibiotic. This study aims provide an insight into deep (DESs) developed. Menthol-based DES combined with namely propionic acid, butanoic hexanoic octanoic decanoic levulinic were successfully obtained their thermal profile was analyzed. The potential systems evaluated against both Gram positive negative bacteria. Owing start-up components, results considered promising, this illustrates newly DESs as agent in fields such food, cosmetics well pharmaceutical.
