Development of polypropylene (PP) films incorporating antioxidant-antimicrobial agents can inhibit microbial growth and reduce undesirable deteriorating reactions preserve the quality food. This study was aimed to use a combination sorbic acid (SA), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), hydroxytoluene (BHT) provide synergistic effect at their reduced concentrations. A Combination additives more effec...

Objective: To investigate the in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and wound healing properties of leaf extracts Acanthus ilicifolius.
 Methods: ilicifolius leaves were dried prepared using different solvents cold extraction method. The preliminary phytochemical analysis quantitative methods carried out standard procedures. In antioxidant activity was evaluated DPPH assay. Disc...

this study represents the first report on the chemical composition and biological activity of trifolium angustifolium var. angustifolium. the major components of the essential oil were identified as hexatriacontene (23.0%), arachidic acid (15.5%) and α-selinene (10.0%). the main constituents of the fatty acid obtained from the petroleum ether extract were identified as palmitic acid (29.8%), li...

the aim of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from olive leaves of cronaiky, roghani and mishen varieties by maceration and microwave-assisted extraction (mae) methods. our result revealed that effect of extraction method and variety was statistically significant (p<0.05) and mae-produced extracts have more total phenolics and antioxidant activity than traditional ones. the highest ph...

hyssopus of­ficinalis l. is one of the most important medicinal plants. medicinal herbs are contaminated by microorganisms. conventional methods for reducing of microbial loads such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and also use of steam are hazardous and instead, non-thermal process such as microwave and gamma radiation are being used widely in order to eliminate the microbial contaminations ...

Use of substances with antimicrobial properties is known to have been common practice for at least 2000 years. Ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks used specific molds and plant extracts to treat infection. More recently, microbiologists such as Louis Pasteur and Jules Francois Joubert observed antagonism for some bacteria and discussed the merits of controlling these interactions in medicine. ...
