This study was designed to investigate the phenolic acid contents and antioxidant activities of 14 clones mint species (M. spicata, M. piperita, villoso nervata dumetorum) that cultivated in Turkey. The were analysed using HPLC. these Mentha evaluated by free radical scavenging activity (DDPH•), cation (ABTS•+) reducing power tests. Additionally, total content determined spectrophoto metrically...

BACKGROUND To screen methanolic extracts of 26 commonly used Indian spices against nine species of uropathogenic bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), isolated from clinical samples of a tertiary care hospital for antib...

Antioxidant compounds are abundantly available in plants and play an important role in scavenging free radicals, thus providing protection to humans against oxidative DNA damage. Mentha spicata Linn., commonly called spearmint, belongs to the family lamiaceae. It was selected in the present study because Mentha extracts have antioxidant properties due to the presence of eugenol, caffeic acid, r...

This paper presents a kinetic study of solar dehydrated mint (Mentha spicata L.) with no prior treatment. The drying kinetics leaves dried in Domestic Solar Dryer terms colour attribute, moisture content, time, non enzymatic browning, water activity, rehydration ratio were calculated. is very useful for household scale to optimize process and achieve superior quality product at home maintaining...

  Background : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of important opportunistic pathogen, that cases serious infections . It produces many virulence factors, and this bacterium usually is resistance against antimicrobial agents.   Objective :The aim of this study was evaluate the effects of sub-MICs of essential oils of Mentha spicata and Cumminum cyminum on alginate production, biofilm formation, swim...
