Evaluation of Inhibitory Effect of Three Phenolic Compounds; Linalool, Menthol and Eugenol on the Yeasts as Food Spoiling Agents

Aims: Although the use of yeasts as starters is common in the food industry, it can lead to product corruption and poor quality of food in some cases. Current study was assessed the anti-yeast impacts of three phenolic compounds; linalool, menthol and eugenol against 7 yeast species contaminating food products (Candida albicans, Candida kefir, Candida famata, Rhodotorula glutnis, Kluyveromyces ...

Induction of Apoptosis in Tumor Cells by Natural Phenolic Compounds.

Investigation has been conducted to delineate the action of some phenolic compounds of natural origin in four human tumor cell lines: acute myeloblastic leukemia (HL-60), chronic myelogenic leukemia (K-562), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and cervical epithelial carcinoma (HeLa). In cells grown in appropriate media the phenolics curcumin, yakuchinone B, resveratrol and capsaicin exhibited growth...

Phenolic Compounds from Wine as Natural Preservatives of Fish Meat

The aim of this work is to investigate the antibacterial effect of phenolic compound combinations and total polyphenols of Argentinean red wine varieties against Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 and Listeria monocytogenes using commercial fish meat as model food. Rutin-quercetin combination and three wine varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot) caused cellular death of both bacteria on fis...

Antimutagenic effects of natural phenolic compounds in beans.

Polyphenols in fruits, vegetables (e.g., flavonols like quercetin) and tea (e.g., catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate) are good antioxidants with antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties. In the present study, the Salmonella typhimurium tester strain YG1024 was used in the plate-incorporation test to examine the antimutagenic effect of phenolic compounds, extracted from common beans...
