Antibacterial activity of 19 essential oils was screened against four test bacteria namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 5021, Salmonella typhimurium NCIM 2501 and Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2063. Varying degree of antibacterial activity was recorded with the highest being depicted by Cinnamomum zeylanicum followed by Cymbopogon ciatrus and Carum copticum, against all...

Research has been carried out to identify the essential oil components of cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmannii) which will be used in manufacture face creams and test its inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Cinnamon was separated by steam distillation method. The oils obtained were identified gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) infrared spectra. GC-MS chromatogram yielded...

The physicochemical properties, composition and antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) were studied. The bioactivity of this essential oil against Paenibacillus larvae was analyzed by means of a combination of in vitro techniques, such as the tube dilution method and bioautography, a method employed to localize antibacterial activity on a chromatogram. Cinnamal...

BACKGROUND The emergence of drug resistant pathogens becomes a crucial problem for infectious diseases worldwide. Among these bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of which highly resists to many currently used drugs and becomes a major concern in public health. Up till now, the search for potential antimicrobial agents has been still a challenge for researchers. METHODS Broth microdilution...

Cinnamon, the dry bark and twig of Cinnamomum spp., is a rich botanical source of polyphenolics that has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine and has been shown to affect blood glucose and insulin signaling. Cinnamon's effects on blood glucose have been the subject of many clinical and animal studies; however, the issue of cinnamon intake's effect on fasting blood glucose (FBG) in people...

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, and Cinnamon cassia), the eternal tree of tropical medicine, belongs to the Lauraceae family. Cinnamon is one of the most important spices used daily by people all over the world. Cinnamon primarily contains vital oils and other derivatives, such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate. In addition to being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic...

OBJECTIVE Many agents (nutrients, nutraceuticals, and drugs) that enhance insulin sensitivity and/or reduce circulating insulin concentrations lower blood pressure (BP). Recently, it was reported that cinnamon has the potential to favorably influence the glucose/insulin system. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of dietary cinnamon on systolic BP (SBP), and...
