Plant essential oils (EOs) have been reported to have health benefit properties and their preventive and therapeutic use in animals is expected to increase in the future. We evaluated the influence of five essential oils obtained from plant species which are known to have positive antimicrobial, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects--sage EO from Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae), oregano...

The study was carried out with 38 collected garlic (Allium sativum L.) cultivars from 3 important garlic production area in Iran (Zanjan, Hamadan and Mazandaran). The cloves were planted in 30 × 30 cm pots in control conditions (average temperature: 20 °C and 60 % RH). Randomized complete block design with 3 replications was conducted. The bulbing characteristics such as bulb weight, bulb circu...

Current trends have suggested that the continuous use of chemical additives has carcinogenic effects on consumers. This instigated research into more organic ingredients such as plant parts which could serve potential replacement for these in food. study was therefore conducted to compare proximate and mineral compositions powder cinnamon bark clove buds collected from Cape Coast-Ghana, their e...

Background: This study aimed at investigation of the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant properties of clove, cumin, origanum, and anise Essential Oils (EOs). Methods: Chemical compositions of the EOs were identified using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The antibacterial activities of EOs against four important food-borne bacteria were assessed by disc ...

effect of sucrose replacement with date syrup powder on physiochemical properties of sponge cake such as specific gravity, volume, apparent density, solid density, porosity, symmetry, moisture content, water activity, crust color and textural firmness was studied. batter specific gravity of the control sample was higher than that of other samples. sucrose replacement with 100% of date syrup pow...

BACKGROUND The flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry. (clove) has been used in Unani medicine since ancient times for the treatment of male sexual disorders. The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of 50% ethanolic extract of clove on general mating behaviour, libido, potency along with its likely gastric ulceration and adverse effects on sexually normal male albino ...

Processes of colonization of biotic and abiotic surfaces and biofilm formation depend inter alia on hydrophobic properties of Candida spp. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of tea tree, thyme and clove essential oils on hydrophobic properties of environmental and clinical Candida isolates. The relative cell surface hydrophobicity of strains tested was high, and ranged from 68...

The present study explores the association of Aspergillus niger with stored raw and powdered ingredients of Triphala Churn, which is a 1:1:1 proportional combination of Emblica officinalis Gaertn. (Amla), Terminalia bellerica (Gaertn.) Roxb. (Baheda), and Terminalia chebula Retz. (Harada) respectively. Total 106 stored fruits and 68 powdered samples of E. officinalis, T. bellerica and T. chebul...
