Listeria monocytogenes is one of the major causes of infections in developing countries. In this study, chemical composition and anti-listerial effect of the essential oil of Zataria multiflora Boiss. alone and in combination with monolaurin were evaluated at different pH values (5, 6, and 7) and temperatures (5 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Chemical composition of Zataria multiflora</em...

The green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. In the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles' (Ag NPs) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol Trolox equivalents g-1 DW (µmol TE g-1 DW), ranged from 116.0...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate antimicrobial effect of Zataria multiflora Boiss essential oil (EO) against six fish spoilage bacteria for evaluation of its potential utilization in the preservation of minimally processed fish products. Methods: Firstly, GC-MS analysis of the EO was performed to determine its chemical composition. Then, antibacterial effect of the EO in a ...

Aspergillus fumigatus causes a fatal infection particularly among immunocompromised individuals. Nowadays herbal and medicinal essential oils play vital role as an alternative safe medication. Zataria multiflora Boiss have antifungal activities mainly on the expression of some gene required for fungal survival. The main objective study was evaluation effects Z. extract against A. AfS35 strain. ...

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...
