Abstract:

Background & Aim: The major aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the essential oils from five medicinal plants. Experimental: The hydro-distillation essential oils from five plant species, including Satureja bachtiarica, Zataria multiflora, Thymus daenensis, Thymus carmanicus, and Ziziphora tenuior (Lamiaceae) which are endemic in Iran. In-vitro antibacterial test was done by agar disc diffusion and serial dilution assays. Results & Discussion: Most of the essential oils indicated relatively antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria with the diameter of inhibition zone ranging between 7 and 33 mm. Recommended applications/industries: The essential oils from Iranian herbs could be used as natural antimicrobial agents in food preservation.
