Nowadays, the application of natural antimicrobials like plant extracts in food preservation isbecoming popular and increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Echinophora platyloba (E.platyloba) aqueous extract on gas-producing fungi and sensory properties of doogh. For this reason, theconcentration of 0% (Control), 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 8% of the extract were...

lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum cv. ‘mriachii blue’) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. however, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of lisianthus. for this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...

The present study was carried out to enhance shelf life of pasteurized cream using Echinophora platyloba essential oil (EEO) and lycopene. For this purpose, two concentrations of EEO (0.10% and 0.50%) and lycopene (20 and 50 ppm) alone and together as combinations were added in pasteurized creams and analyzed for microbial characteristics, sensorial properties and lipid stability durin...

Background and objectives: Echinophora platyloba is used for flavoring foods, cheese and yoghurt. Despite several pharmacological studies on the plant, no attempt has been made to isolate the non-volatile secondary metabolites and assess the antimicrobial effects. So, phytochemical investigation seems to be useful for better use of this plant. Methods: </strong...

background: in order to avoid potential harm of synthetic additives food, development of novel functional foods containing natural ingredients is considered in current years. in this study, inhibitory effect of echinophora platyloba essential oil (eo) on growth of aspergillus flavus was evaluated in culture media and cheese. methods: e. platyloba eo was extracted by hydrodistillation method usi...

Candida albicans is an opportunist yeast which changes into fungus infection in humans with immunity system deficiency when the required conditions are present. It may cause fatal infections. The Bakhtiari Summer Savoury and Platyloba are anti-fungus plants that effects on MDR 1 and ERG 11 genes expression.
