Introduction: In most ancient cultures, honey has been used for both nutritional and medical purposes. Objectives: this research, phenolic extracts of four Iranian honeys were evaluated to determine the antioxidant potentials using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging reducing power by ferric activity plasma (FRAP) method. Additionally, anti-diab...

Background: Nowadays, finding natural compounds with antimicrobial properties against pathogens is very important, especially for the food and drug industries. Objectives: The antibacterial activity of chitosan coatings nanoemulsion (NE) containing Zataria multiflora Bunium persicum essential oils (EOs) was evaluated in a model (chicken breast fillets) during 15 days refrigerated storage. Metho...
