The antimicrobial activity of essential oils of oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, lemongrass, ginger, and clove was investigated in vitro by agar dilution method and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes) and Gram-negative strains (Escherichia coli and Salmonella Enteritidis). MIC(90%) values were tested again...

Background: Essential oils are very complex mixtures of compounds with variety of biological properties Objective: In the present study, the effect of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Basil (Ocimum basilicum) essential oil at 250, 500, 750 and 1000 µL.L-1 and Thyme essential oil at 30, 60, 120, 250µL.L-1 on growth of Botrytis cinerea was investigated in in vitro condition. ...

the present study was carried out to determine the effects of fish oil long-chain fatty acids and thyme essence supplementation on performance and carcass traits in mahabadi goat kids. twenty-eight mahabadi goat kids (average initial bw of 17/8 ± 2/8 kg, 4-5mo) were randomly assigned to four treatments of: 1. control (basal diet), 2. 0.2% thyme essence, 3. 2% fish oil, and 4. 2% fish oil +0.2% ...

A simple and rapid Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy method was developed to determine the main essential oil components (carvacrol, thymol and p-cymene) in the antimicrobial LDPE films incorporated with oregano (Origanum vulgare) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) essential oils. The ATR-FTIR spectrum of pure active components (carvacrol, thymol and p-cymene) was characterized, and the r...

In the Mediterranean zone semi-natural vegetation and diverse mountain-cropping systems have been converted into monocultures with low tree densities, leaving the soil unprotected. Soil loss and runoff over a three-year period were monitored in hillside erosion plots (35% slope and 144 m 2 in area) with almond (Prunus amygdalus) trees under three soil-management systems: no-tillage with sage (S...

Essential oils as natural plant extracts have received significant attention in recent time. The of thyme play vital roles the metabolic and regulatory functions body. objective this study was to evaluate effect essential oil on endurance horses determine dose for optimal levels major biochemical parameters. Thyme were administered orally at doses 150 mg/kg 600 body weight by mixing with their ...
