This study evaluated the effect of including clove essential oil (EOcl) in Nile tilapia diets on animal performance and antioxidant power, lipid oxidation, gene expression, texture, pH, color sensory analysis fillets. Three levels EOcl were (0.70, 1.05 1.40 g/kg), provided over three periods before slaughtering animals (15, 45 60 days). The power increased after EOcl. There was an interaction b...

A study was carried out in the comparative analysis of ethanolic extract (50%) of clove & clove oil as natural antimicrobial agents on some food spoilage bacteria. The antibacterial activity of clove oil & its extract (50% ethanol) was tested against ten bacteria (seven Gram positive & three Gram negative) & seven fungi by agar well diffusion assays. The clove oil was found to be better antagon...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of clove extract (CE) (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%) on the oxidative stability and quality deterioration of Chinese-style sausage stored for 21 d at 4°C. The addition of clove extract to sausages significantly retarded increases in Thiobarbituric Reactive Substances (TBARS) values (p<0.05), while also controlling the production of protein carbonyls (...

Three different concentrations of clove oil were applied to two different size groups of singhi (Heteropneustes fossilis) and lata (Channa punctatus) fish to observe the anaesthetic effect and to find an optimum dose. Two groups each consisting of 10 fish was exposed to 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03% clove oil. All fish of either size anaesthetized with 0.01% clove oil exhibited longer induction and shor...

The aim of present work is to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of clove and ginger powder extracts on Streptococcus Mutans. An in-vitro study was conducted to assess effectiveness of 5%, 10%, and 50% clove and ginger powder extracts on Streptococcus mutans. The ditch plate method was used to test the antimicrobial activity. Ditches were prepared on blood agar plates with the help of punch ha...
