The antimicrobial effects of aqueous garlic extracts are well established but those of garlic oil (GO) are little known. Methodologies for estimating the antimicrobial activity of GO were assessed and GO, GO sulfide constituents, and garlic powder (GP) were compared in tests against human enteric bacteria. Test methodologies were identified as capable of producing underestimates of GO activity....

nosed malignancy, and second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. Among them, approximately half of the patients develop incurable condition with no effective treatment. Current therapy for advanced prostate cancer is largely based on androgen deprivation. However, as with androgen ablation therapy, the responses are generally of short duration and resistant to therapy e...

Garlic oil (GO) and allyl alcohol (AA), both derived from alliin in garlic using different preparation methods, cause potent growth inhibition in yeasts. GO and AA inhibited Candida utilis ATCC42416 in different ways: GO has fungistatic activity while AA has fungicidal activity. GO and AA have almost identical antimicrobial potencies against the indicator yeast, with minimum inhibitory concentr...

1. Herbs, thyme essential oil (EO) and condensed tannin (CT) extracts were compared for their effects, as dietary supplements, on broiler growth performance, nutrient digestibility and volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles in the gut. Cooked meat from the birds fed on diets with 4 herbs and an EO extract was compared by a taste panel against those fed on the control treatment, for organoleptic pro...

Objective: The study was designed to investigate the antibacterial effect of fresh garlic and oil against aerobic bacteria in beef meatballs during their cold storage at 4°C. Design: Observational Procedures: Three concentrations (FG) (2%, 3%, 5%) (GO) (250 mg/kg, 360 600 mg/g) were added ground samples then treated meat untreated (control) kept refrigeration 4 °C for 15 days determined. Result...

Essential oils (EOs) from plant extracts have been reported to have an antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Several of the gram-positive bacteria are involved in ruminal biohydrogenation of fatty acids (FAs), thus suggesting that feeding EOs could lower biohydrogenation of FA because of a decrease in the number of bacteria involved in that process. As a resul...

Garlic oils have promising possibilities for a wide range of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Their widespread utilization is limited as they are lipophilic highly volatile. Furthermore, also possess strong odor low physicochemical stability. Therefore, present study aims to investigate characteristics garlic oil nano-emulsion through investigating its antifungal activity...

Black garlic (BG) is a processed garlic product prepared by heat treatment of whole garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.) at high temperature under high humidity for several days, resulting in black cloves with a sweet taste. BG has recently been introduced to the Korean market as a product beneficial to health. To clarify how BG changes during the 35 day aging period, the physicochemical characteri...
