This study aimed to analyze the chemical composition and antioxidant antimicrobial activities of Laurus nobilis L. essential oil (LEO) its fractions obtained by short-path molecular distillation. According composition, it can be said that LEO proved have activity sinceboth a high content total phenolic (TPC). Short-path distillation was used separate with superiorantioxidant activity. Laurel re...

Background: The emergence and re-emergence of antibiotic-resistant foodborne bacteria call for concerted efforts, especially in developing countries. Spices have been employed traditionally to improve the aroma and flavour of foods; however, they could  serve as reservoirs for the spread of potential pathogenic organisms. This study aims to investigate the public health implications of antibiot...

Gelatin?based films incorporated with Arbutus unedo fruit extract (AFE) were prepared and characterized. LC?DAD analysis demonstrated that the most abundant phenolic compounds in AFE procyanidin B2 gallic acid. The incorporation of gelatin tested film (TF) caused a remarkable decrease water vapor permeability (5.01 × 10–? g.mm/h.cm².Pa) compared to control (CF). FTIR analyses presented broadeni...

Estimates of the annual numbers of foodborne illnesses and associated hospitalizations and deaths are needed to set priorities for surveillance, prevention, and control strategies. The objective of this study was to determine such estimates for 2008-2013 in France. We considered 15 major foodborne pathogens (10 bacteria, 3 viruses, and 2 parasites) and estimated that each year, the pathogens ac...

Introduction Antibiotics have been used as therapeutic and prophylactic treatments to control a variety of bacterial infections in livestock for more than 50 years. Different types of antibiotics have also been fed at sub-therapeutic levels to cattle, poultry and swine to increase productivity and feed efficiency (McDermott et al., 2002). The emergence of antibiotic-resistance in many bacteria ...

In the present work, we applied a shotgun proteomics approach for the fast and easy characterization of 20 different foodborne strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), one of the most recognized foodborne pathogenic bacteria. A total of 644 non-redundant proteins were identified and analyzed via an easy and rapid protein sample preparation procedure. The results allowed the differentiation...
