The present study was envisaged to investigate in-vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant efficacy of lemongrass, cinnamon and clove essential oils for their potential application in meat products. Antimicrobial potential was measured by using zone inhibition assay and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against foodborne pathogens including Gram positive and Gram negative whereas, antioxidant a...

Different doses of 12 plant extracts and 6 secondary plant metabolites were incubated for 24 h in diluted ruminal fluid with a 50:50 forage:concentrate diet. Treatments were: control (no additive), plant extracts (anise oil, cade oil, capsicum oil, cinnamon oil, clove bud oil, dill oil, fenugreek, garlic oil, ginger oil, oregano oil, tea tree oil, and yucca), and secondary plant metabolites (an...

The use of new natural antimicrobials has gained attention from the pharmaceutical and food industry, in addition to end consumers, as additive options conventional antibiotics for resistant microorganisms also preservatives. Essential oils are secondary plant metabolites that protect plants against predators pathogens. aim this study was evaluate thermal properties cinnamon essential oil (EO) ...

Chinese yam with damaged outer skin can be easily oxidized and infected by spoilage fungi. To find preservatives in the storage of yam, Aspergillus niger 103 was isolated, identified, determined as dominant fungus according to Koch’s postulates. Then, strain used a model screen antifungal agents study mechanisms this study. We found that cinnamon essential oil best agent, minimum concentration ...
