Abstract This study aimed to chemically characterize the essential oils (EOs) of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) and Eremanthus erythropappus (candeia) evaluate their acaricidal activity, together with that major compounds cinnamyl acetate derivative, against Rhipicephalus microplus. Essential oil were identified through gas chromatography. The larval packet test (LPT) at concentrations rangin...

BACKGROUND α-glucosidase inhibitors regulate postprandial hyperglycemia (PPHG) by impeding the rate of carbohydrate digestion in the small intestine and thereby hampering the diet associated acute glucose excursion. PPHG is a major risk factor for diabetic vascular complications leading to disabilities and mortality in diabetics. Cinnamomum zeylanicum, a spice, has been used in traditional medi...

Aim: To explore the in vitro antibacterial activity of seven ethanolic extracts of spices against the clinical isolates of enterococci. Methods: 215 enterococcal strains were isolated from clinical samples. Ethanolic extracts of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) , Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), Cardamom ...

Background: Infectious diarrhoea is an emergent problem in both developing and developed countries for high rates of mortality in infants. In recent years, drug resistance to microbial pathogens has been commonly reported from all over the world. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. Plants are used medicinally in different countries especially in India and are a sou...

Seventy isolates belonging to 3 different species of gram-negative bacilli: E.coli(30), K.pneurnoniae(05), and P.aeruginosa(05), and I specie of gram-positive cocci: S.aureus(30), were used for screening of antibacterial activity of aqueous infusion, decoction and essential oil of cinnamon by standard disc diffusion method. The oil of cinnamon exhibited highest antibacterial activity against S....

Cinnamon essential oils (EOs) are widely known for their pharmaceutical properties; however, studies investigating the use of these EOs in aquaculture scarce. The aims this study were to evaluate anesthetic effect bathing silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) with Cinnamomum cassia EO (CCEO) and its nanoemulsion (NCCEO); growth-promoting antioxidant effects dietary supplementation CCEO catfish; vitro...

Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, commonly known as Ceylon cinnamon or true has gained worldwide attention than ever due to recent scientific pieces of evidence on its health benefits and medicinal applications. consists a higher concentration beneficial chemical compounds, superior flavor taste while having minimum amount harmful coumarin. Our study focused morphological, yield biochemical characte...
