Solubility and diffusivity of Thyme, Cinnamon Oregano essential oils in nanocellulose films, with different carboxymethylation degree, were investigated view potential use active packaging applications. liquid resulted to increase the degree for both, Thyme while it was non-monotonous Cinnamon. showed higher solubility (about 20%wt) followed by Oregano. The sorption kinetics substantially Ficki...

the genus thymus l. belongs to the lamiaceae family, consist of about 215 species of herbaceous perennials and small shrubs in the world. they originated from mediterranean region. this genus is presented in iranian flora by 14 species, including: t. daenensis, t. carmanicus, t. fallax, t. persicus, t. trautvetteri, t. migricus, t. kotschyanus, t. pubesens, t. nummularius, t. transcaspicus, t. ...

The essential oil (EO) from dried ground powder leaves and stems of Thymua danesis was extracted using hydrodistillation (HD), ohmic extraction (OE), ultrasound-assisted HD and ultrasound-assisted OE methods. Then, the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and sensory properties of the EO were investigated both in vitro and in food systems. Thyme EO extracted by ultrasound-assisted HD method had promisin...

The leaf essential oil yields of clementine, cypress, rosemary, tea, and thyme were 0.22, 0.87, 1.46, 1.20, 0.72%, respectively, based on the dry weight plant material. oils contained highest levels oxygenated monoterpenes (60.14-91.70%). Rosemary tea rich in 1,8-cineole (49.98% 57.55%, respectively), they have potent antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata strain (MIC = 5000 μg/ml). T...

Essential oils are complex natural mixtures, their main constituents, e.g. terpenes and phenylpropanoids, being responsible for their biological properties. Essential oils from eucalyptus, tea tree and thyme and their major monoterpene compounds alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, alpha-pinene, p-cymene, terpinen-4-ol, alpha-terpineol, thymol, citral and 1,8-cineole were examined for their antivi...

BACKGROUND Haemophilus ducreyi is the bacterium responsible for the genital ulcer disease chancroid, a cofactor for the transmission of HIV, and it is resistant to many antibiotics. With the goal of exploring possible alternative treatments, we tested essential oils (EOs) for their efficacy as antimicrobial agents against H. ducreyi. METHODS We determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (...

Searches in the databases of Cochrane, EMBASE, NCCAM, NLM, DIMDI, CAMbase, and Medline and in the archives of Karger, Kluwer, Thieme, Springer, and the Merkurstab reveal only few specific data on skin infections in the neonatal period [1–3]. Knowledge about the treatment of these skin infections partly derives from the treatment of contagious impetigo of the older child [4–6]. The national and ...

The antifungal properties of some commercial plant waters obtained as side products in producing distilled oils were investigated. Paper disc samples were impregnated with various plant waters and exposed to wood decay fungi for 3 months in Petri dishes. Ten types of plant water (Laurus nobilis, Calluna vulgaris, Lavandula stoechas, Thymus vulgaris, Myrtus communis, Eucalyptus globulus, Mentha ...

BACKGROUND Oregano (Origanum vulgare), sage (Salvia officinalis), and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) are aromatic plants with ornamental, culinary, and phytotherapeutic use all over the world. In Europe, they are traditionally used in the southern countries, particularly in the Mediterranean region. The antimicrobial activities of the essential oils (EOs) derived from those plants have captured the at...

The antimicrobial and antiplasmid activities of essential oils (orange oil, eucalyptus oil, fennel oil, geranium oil, juniper oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, purified turpentine oil, thyme oil, Australian tea tree oil) and of menthol, the main component of peppermint oil, were investigated. The antimicrobial activities were determined on the Gram (+) Staphylococcus epidermidis and the Gram (...
