The purpose of the present study was to evaluate carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) coated polypropylene (PP) films containing Zataria multiflora (ZEO) essential oils (4%) as an antimicrobial packaging for chicken breast stored at 4 °C. To increase PP film hydrophilicity, it was treated by atmospheric cold plasma prior to coating by CMC. Then, different films including PP, PP/CMC, PP/CMC containing ...

in last two decades, considerable attempts have been made to introduce new botanical based insecticides. in this study, repellent effects of the essential oils taken from lavandula angustifolia and zataria multiflora on callosobruchus maculatus adults were evaluated. the essential oils were extracted using a clevenger apparatus. bioassays were conducted under 30±1ºc, 60±5% rh and dark condition...

Zataria multiflora is one of the valuable medicinal plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family. The aromatic aerial parts of this species are traditionally used by endemic folks to flavor some native foods, also for numerous therapeutic functions. In the present study, different plant organs (leaf, flower, stalk and whole aerial organ) were collected from Fanuj region of Sistan & Balouchestan pro...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen causing widespread infections by numerous virulence factors. Increasing resistance to antibiotics makes the Pseudomonas infections treatment further difficult. The purpose of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial characteristics of essential oils from Matricaria chamomilla, Artemisia persica, Zataria multiflora, Myrtus communis, R...
