this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of four medicinal plants with antibacterial property on immune system and ileum bacteria population of broiler chicks.a total 336 day-old male ross broiler chicks were used in a crd design with 6 treatments and 4 replicates per each treatment. cuminum l, mentha piperita l, achillea l, teucrium polium l, in levels of 1.5, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.2 ...

This research evaluated the effects of biosolid levels on yield and chemical composition of Mentha piperita L. essential oil. Mint plants were grown in a greenhouse in pots containing the equivalent to 0, 28, 56, and 112 t.ha-1 biosolid. Three evaluations were made at 90, 110, and 120 days after planting (DAP). The oil was extracted from the dry matter of shoots by hydrodistillation, and compos...

The chemical composition of mentha essential oil and mentha extracts obtained at different pressures/temperatures by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) were studied by GC–MS. The menthol content was also determined spectrophotometrically. The predominant compounds in the essential oil and in the CO2 extract obtained at 100 bar were L-menthon and menthole but at higher pressures (from 150 to 4...

The in vitro anti-Babesia canis activities of nine essential oils were investigated. Among the tested Achillea millefolium, Eugenia caryophyllus and Citrus grandis most active (IC50 values 51.0, 60.3 61.3 μg/mL, respectively). from Abies sibirica, Rosmarinus officinalis, Eucalyptus globulus, Cinnamonum zeylanicum, Mentha piperita Pinus sylvestris less 134.3, 237.3, 239.3, 367.9, 837.5 907.3 res...

Herbal infusions and decoctions in water are some of the most commonly consumed beverages in the world. Although water is not a good solvent for many of the active components in herbs, liquid preparations are rich in several bioactive compounds. Most of them have powerful antioxidant activity and have been related to medicinal herbs' properties. Herein, decoctions and infusions in water of lemo...

background: natural antioxidants with plant origin are incorporated to foods in the forms of essential oils or extracts. they can retard lipid oxidation and control spoilage bacteria in foodstuffs (e.g. meat products). objective: this work was aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrite partial replacement with mentha piperita essential oil (mpeo) on oxidative, microbial and sensory properties of c...
