The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effects Zataria multiflora (ZEO) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CEO) essential oils in vapor phase against Aspergillus flavus Penicillium citrinum vitro cheese. activities vapors ZEO CEO were assessed by determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), fractional (FIC) index, inhibition zone diameters. Thymol (51.10%) cinnamaldehyde (77....

Abstract This study aimed to chemically characterize the essential oils (EOs) of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) and Eremanthus erythropappus (candeia) evaluate their acaricidal activity, together with that major compounds cinnamyl acetate derivative, against Rhipicephalus microplus. Essential oil were identified through gas chromatography. The larval packet test (LPT) at concentrations rangin...

Background: Medicinal plants are considered new resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 28 plant extracts and oils against four Gram-negative bacterial species.Methods: Experimental, in vitro, evaluation of the activities of 28 plant extract...

A trial was conducted to examine the effect of cinnamon essential oil supplementation on lamb growth performance and meat quality. Sixteen male lambs were randomly assigned to two groups. The first group served as control and was given a basal diet, and the second group was given the same diet supplemented with cinnamon oil (1 ml/kg of concentrated feed) for 35 days. Incorporation of cinnamon o...

In this study, lethal concentration (LC50) values of cinnamon hydrosol (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) on carp (Cyprinus carpio) were investigated. In practice, experimental setup was constituted 30 fish (a total of 180 fish with 30 control fish) to be placed in three replicates. Hydrosol was added into aquariums at the doses of 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 10% and determined mortality times of carp exposed to t...

Background: Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in various biomedical applications. However, limited reports currently available about the safety of biofabricated AgNPs using Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extracts. Objectives: The current study is aimed to assess potential toxicity biosynthesized (using C. zeylanicum) by subacute oral administration experimental rats. Metho...
