In the present study, inhibitory effects of the hydrosols of thyme, black cumin, sage, rosemary and bay leaf were investigated against Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 inoculated to apple and carrots (at the ratio of 5.81 and 5.81 log cfu/g for S. Typhimurium, and 5.90 and 5.70 log cfu/g for E. coli O157:H7 on to apple and carrot, respectively). After the inoculation of S. Ty...

plant growth is often limited by low levels of soil micronutrients such as copper (cu), ‎especially in calcareous salt-affected soils of arid and semiarid regions. the aim of this ‎work was to investigate individual and combined effects of salinity and cu on growth, leaf ‎relative water content (lrwc), cell membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, and total ‎phenolic content (tpc) of rosemary...

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) has always known a versatile, aromatic herb and addition to being used as a food flavoring is also known medicinally for its powerful antioxidant activity, antibacterial and hepatoprotective properties. In this study we examined the effects of rosemary iextract on the lifespan and aging in Drosophila melanogaster against high-fat induced oxidative injury, an...

The Mediterranean diet has long been attributed to preventing or delaying the onset of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and various solid organ cancers. In this particular study, a rosemary extract standardized to carnosic acid was evaluated for its potential in disrupting the endoplasmic reticulum machinery to decrease the viability of prostate cancer cells and promote degradation of the andro...

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a potential source of rosmarinic acid (RA). This study aimed to develop novel aqueous enzymatic approach for extracting RA from rosemary leaves and evaluate the antioxidant activity RA-rich extract. The ability several enzymes release plant tissues was investigated. Among examined enzymes, cellulase A exhibited highest extraction efficiency. Subsequently,...

Using on a bigger scale in agriculture of the substances like pesticides which, besides, the benefit effects that exert on the cultures, present, more often than not, also a toxicity degree unusually high, due to the fact that these substances are absorbed at the different tissues and organs and, in the same time with the ingestion of the fruits and of the vegetables treated, these compounds ge...

The prevention of BBB breakdown and the subsequent vasogenic edema are important parts of the medical management of ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ischemic tolerance effect of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf hydro-alcoholic extract (RHE).Five groups of animals were designed: sham (underwent surgery without MCAO) and MCAO groups, the MCAO groups were pretreated ora...

Similar to other leaf beetles, rosemary beetles Chrysolina americana exhibit a distinct sexual dimorphism in tarsal attachment setae. Setal discoid terminals occur only in males, and they have been previously associated with a long-term attachment to the female's back (elytra) during copulation and mate guarding. For the first time, we studied living males and females holding to female's elytra...

Traditional uses and current results highlight the neuroprotective properties of Rosmarinus officinalis L. The compelling need for novel strategies able to relieve neuropathic pain encouraged us to analyze different rosemary leaf extracts in rats following chronic constriction injury (CCI) of sciatic nerve. Ethanol, acetone, and the innovative ultrasound-hexane extractive methods were used to o...
