The photodisinfection is a topical, broad spectrum antimicrobial technology, targeting bacteria, virus, fungi, and protozoa effective for single cells as for biofilms. Natural molecules have been studied less than synthetic agents in the process but they are currently receiving great interest. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate for the first time if non-coherent blue and red light ...

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 ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial effect of three essential oils (cinnamon, white thyme, and clove) on selected intestinal pathogen bacteria, probiotic strains, commensal bacteria. Additionally, their effects inflammatory gene expression were also evaluated a well-known human cellular model (Caco-2 cells). Cinnamon showed highest antipathogenic microbial act...

Background: Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of several components gifted with a wide array of biological activities. The present research was designed to evaluate whether commercial essential oils could be effective by examining their in vitro antioxidant, cytotoxic, and apoptotic properties of nine commercially available EOs in Palestine, namely, African rue, basil, chamomile, fennel...

The aim of this study was to determine the potential essential oils (EOs) thyme (Thymusvulgaris Lamiaceae) and ginger (Zingiberofficinale Zingiberaceae) control cotton leaf worm (Spodopteralittoralis Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)under laboratory conditions.The nutritional indices EO-treated S. littoralis larvae were reduced compared with control. At highest tested conc. 90 % oils, CI values significa...

Sweet cherry is one of the most appreciated fruit by consumers since it is an early season fruit and has an excellent quality. In this study effect of active nano composite formed from chitosan (as a matrix material), nano cellulose fiber (1% concentration) and Thyme oils (Tymus Vulgaris L) at 1% concentration on fruits quality was investigated. Treated fruits were stored at 1°C for 5 weeks and...

Confined animal feeding operations can be a source of odor emissions, global warming gases, water pollution, and food contamination. Laboratory studies have indicated that plant oils with antimicrobial activity can be used to control pathogens and odor emissions from cattle and swine wastes. However, these oils are aromatic and may volatilize when applied topically. Our objectives were to evalu...

Background: Gastronomic natural flavors and spices have been used as both flavoring agents preservatives in food preparation for many years. They also utilized medical field their biological properties shown previous studies. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of oil extracts from Cloves, Thyme, Cinnamon compared with ampicillin on some oral bacteria (Staphylococcus au...

Active packaging films based on chitosan/gelatin were prepared using a solution casting method by adding various essential oils (lime, tea tree, rosemary, and thyme oils), their effects compared. The fabricated characterized physical properties as well the antioxidant performance of studied. Adding to polysaccharide/protein biopolymer mixtures resulted in compatible with high transparency (>...
