due to environmental risks generated by application of non-degradable and synthetic films, many researches have shown increasing tendency to edible coatings for storing food such as fruits and vegetables. whey protein is considered one of the most common sources of edible coatings and its use has been studied in the current research. in this paper, the simultaneous effect of coating with whey p...

The main component presents in the epicuticular waxes of needles of Pinus halepensis and the most of conifers, the secondary alcohol nonacosan-10-ol, has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results obtained from these physical techniques permitted to establish a definitive structural model of the molecular arrangement of this wax, basically in good ...

BACKGROUND Against a variety of antimicrobial resistant pathogens, the scientists attempted substitution of antimicrobial medicine with various nanoparticles and plant-based antibacterial substances. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles solely and in combination with Zataria multiflora essential oil and methanolic extract on some pho...

recently, real-time pcr in combination with pma has successfully been applied to discriminate between live escherichia coli o157:h7 and dead bacteria killed by cumin, clove, oregano and cinnamon eos. in this study, initial experiments were performed in order to elucidate the minimum bactericidal concentration of zataria multiflora eo on e. coli o157:h7, salmonella enterica and listeria monocyto...

the effects of two iranian medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and geranium pelargoniumwere evaluated on growth-inhibiting of some toxigenic fungi such as aspergillus flavus, a. parasiticus, a.ochraceus and fusarium verticillioides. in this study, standard z. multiflora and g. pelargonium essentialoils (eos) were diluted in 0.01% dimethyl sulfoxide. different dilutions of z. multiflor...

zataria multiflora essential oil possesses immunomodulatory effects and the present study investigatesits effect on immune responses to live newcastle disease (nd) vaccines and faecal shedding period ofvaccine strain virus in chickens. one hundred and eighty chickens from both sexes were divided into 6 equalgroups: group 1: unvaccinated, group 2: vaccinated (b1 vaccine followed by la sota 10 da...

conclusions the excellent antimicrobial activities of the tested eos might be due to their major phenolic or alcoholic monoterpenes with known antimicrobial activities. hence, these eos can be possibly used as an antimicrobial agent in treatment and control of oral pathogens. results the tested eos inhibited the growth of examined oral pathogens at concentrations of 0.015-16 µl/ml. among the ex...
