Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf) essential oil has been used worldwide because of its ethnobotanical and medicinal usefulness. Regarding its medicinal usefulness, the present study evaluated the beneficial effects of lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) oral treatment on cell proliferation and apoptosis events and on early development of hyperplastic lesions in the mammary gland, colon, and ur...

This research evaluated the antimicrobial effect of the clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf.) essential oils (EOs) against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19117 growth added to bovine ground meat stored under refrigeration (5 ± 2 °C) for three days. The EOs, extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), were test...

Diseases of fishes caused by Aeromonas spp. are common, have broad host ranges and may cause high mortality. Treatments of captive-reared populations using antimicrobials are limited with concerns for bacterial resistance development and environmental dissemination. This study was done to determine whether selected plant-derived essential oils were bactericidal to Aeromonas spp. Initially, twel...

We developed wine formulations containing plant essential oils and oil compounds effective against foodborne pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica. HPLC was used to determine maximum solubility of antimicrobials in wines as well as amounts of antimicrobials extracted by wines from commercial oregano and thyme leaves. Activity of essential oils (cinnamon, lemongras...

In recent years there have been several studies of racial discrimination in the British labour market which made use of an experimental technique. Between November 1983 and November 1988 we applied such a technique to provide a direct measure of labour market discrimination in the Australian state of Victoria. The results of our test for sexual discrimination in the labour market have been publ...

AIMS To determine whether essential oil (EO) vapours could reduce surface and airborne levels of bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS AND RESULTS The antibacterial activity of geranium and lemongrass EO individually and blended were evaluated over a range of concentrations by direct contact and vapour diffusion. The EO were tested in vitro against a s...

The present study was envisaged to investigate in-vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant efficacy of lemongrass, cinnamon and clove essential oils for their potential application in meat products. Antimicrobial potential was measured by using zone inhibition assay and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against foodborne pathogens including Gram positive and Gram negative whereas, antioxidant a...

Objective: The purpose of this research is to assess the antioxidant activity lemongrass leaves extract in terms lowering ROS generation and its effect on viability proliferation fibroblasts under oxidative stress. Material Methods: was measured using DPPH method assay carried out by fluorescent H2DCFDA staining. Viability assays were performed Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) read at 450 nm micropl...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that lemongrass and thyme essential oils (EOs) reduce Botrytis cinerea development control gray mold in ‘Italia’ grapes. fungitoxicity evaluation performed by EOs direct contact with pathogen, culture medium, exposure volatile phase. Individualized rachis berries were inoculated subcuticular injection a conidia suspension after 4 hours sprayed (1...
