Abstract:

In this study, the essential oil (EO) of Pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica was added at the rate of 10 g/kg of daily diet of rainbow trout and its effect on gut microbiota (Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus spp., total count), growth performance and antioxidant status of rainbow trout fillet was investigated. Sixty apparently healthy rainbow trout with an approximate weight of 150 g ±3.5 were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. Physical and chemical conditions of water were adjusted to optimal for fish farming and sampling was done after 3 months. The results showed that feed conversion ratio in the control group was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that in the treatment group. The total number of intestinal bacteria was significantly reduced in the treatment group (p<0.05), but the amount of this reduction in Lactobacillus spp. was lower than other bacteria. The oxidative status of fish fillet in the treatment group was not significantly different from that in the control group (p>0.05) after 1 and 7 days cold storage (3°C). According to the obtained results, the EO of Pistacia atlantica kurdica at this dose is not advised for increasing the shelf life of meat and growth performance of fish.

GC-MS Analysis and Antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of the trunk exudates from Pistacia atlantica kurdica

The volatile oil from the crude gum of Kurdica, from Pistacia atlantica Kurdica, was isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed through a combination of gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil formed 20% of the weight of the crude gum. The major constituent was α-Pinene. The extracted essential oil was then screened for antimicrobial activ...
