The physicochemical properties, composition and antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) were studied. The bioactivity of this essential oil against Paenibacillus larvae was analyzed by means of a combination of in vitro techniques, such as the tube dilution method and bioautography, a method employed to localize antibacterial activity on a chromatogram. Cinnamal...

Objective(s): Among herbal oils, cinnamon bark oil has several advantages such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. It is already reported that particle size of oil droplets affects their properties such as their antibacterial activity. In this study, we investigated inhibitory activity of cinnamon oil products including bulk, microemulsion (ME) and nanoemulsion (NE)...

The hypoglycemic effect of cinnamon oil (CO) in a type 2 diabetic animal model (KK-A(y) mice) was studied. The main component of CO was cinnamaldehyde, and other nineteen components were also determined. CO was administrated at doses of 25, 50 and 100mg/kg for 35 days. It was found that fasting blood glucose concentration was significantly decreased (P<0.05) with the 100mg/kg group (P<0.01) the...

The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the extracts from peel, leaves, and bark of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), and some essential oils such as cinnamon and citrus were investigated. The antioxidant activities (IC50) of peel, leaves, and bark extracted, which were evaluated by DPPH method, were 5.94, 9.44, and 6.46 μg/ml, respectively. Either cinnamon or citrus essential oil sh...

Background and objectives: Food poisoning has been always a major concern in health system of every community and cream-filled products are one of the most widespread food poisoning causes in humans. In present study, we examined the preservative effect of the cinnamon oil in cream-filled cakes. Methods: Antimicrobial activity of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl (Cinnamon) bark essential oil w...

use of natural antimicrobial compounds extracted from plants such as cinnamon as preservative to extend the shelf life has gain much attention. in this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity and bio- preservative potential of the methanolic extract of cinnamomum verum bark and its oil against bacillus subtilis , pseudomonas aeruginosae and escherichia coli in ketchup sauce. in order to ...

Essential oils are volatile compounds, extracted from plants, which have a strong odor. These compounds are known for their antibacterial and antifungal properties. However, data concerning degradation of mycotoxins by these metabolites are very limited. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of essential oils (cedarwood, cinnamon leaf, cinnamon bark, white grapefruit, pink ...

The rotational spectrum of trans-cinnamaldehyde ((E)-3-phenyl-2-propenal, C9H8O) was recorded by chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in the frequency range of 2-8.5 GHz. The odourant molecule is the essential component of cinnamon oil and causes the characteristic smell. The rotational signatures of two conformers were observed: s-trans-trans- and s-cis-trans-cinnamaldehyde. ...

Cinnamon is one of the most commonly used spices worldwide. In some Arab countries, cinnamon with other ingredients to relieve bronchospasm and treatment airways-related disorders. current study, GC, GC-MS tracheal relaxant effect comparison were performed using three available types in Saudi Arabia, Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon), C. cassia (Chinese cinnamon) loureiroi (Vietnamese cinnamon...
