This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with cinnamon powder, cinnamon oil, and synbiotic as growth promoter agents on growth performance, blood parameters, and intestinal microbial populations in Japanese quails. A total of 420 one-day-old Japanese quails were randomly assigned to 7 treatments with 4 replicates. The dietary treatments consi...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a system of stimuli and responses in bacterial cells governed by their population density, through which they regulate genes that control virulence factors and biofilm formation. Despite considerable research on QS and the discovery of new antibiotics, QS-controlled biofilm formation by microorganisms in clinical settings has remained a problem because of nascent drug res...

Efficacy of Cinnamon bark oil vapour (Cinnamomam verum Presl.) and Citronella oil vapour (Cymbopogon nardus L.) were evaluated for the control of infestations of Callosobruchus chinensis L in bulk stored green gram. Both oils were used at 5ml and 10ml/5kg of seeds in 3L plastic baskets. Oviposition and damaged seeds were detected for up to two months of period. At the end of the storage period,...

In this study, the antibacterial microcapsules of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) were prepared by complex condensation method. Chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HACC) combined with gum arabic (GA) was selected as coated wall material. The optimal preparation conditions CEO (CMSs) determined response surface methodology (RSM): core/wall mass ratio 1:1, pH value 4.5, concentration CaCl2 0.7 wt% an...

The larvicidal activity and repellency of 5 plant essential oils--thyme oil, catnip oil, amyris oil, eucalyptus oil, and cinnamon oil--were tested against 3 mosquito species: Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, and Culex pipiens pallens. Larvicidal activity of these essentials oils was evaluated in the laboratory against 4th instars of each of the 3 mosquito species, and amyris oil demonstrated the ...

Aim: Present study was conducted to examine the modulatory effect of different essential oils on rumen fermentation pattern in vitro using wheat straw based diet (concentrate: wheat straw 50:50). Materials and Methods: Four essential oils i.e. cinnamon, garlic, oregano and rosemary oils were tested at concentration of 0, 30, 300 and 600 mg/litre (ppm) of total culture fluid using in vitro gas p...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of 10 volatile oils extracted from medicinal plants, including galangal (Alpinia galanga Linn.), ginger (Zingiber officinale), plai (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.), tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus D...
