A comprehensive study on essential oils (EOs) extracted from some Mentha suaveolens L. samples, collected in the countryside of Tarquinia, is reported. In this study, the procedure for essential oil preparation, in terms of harvesting and extraction time, was analyzed in detail for the first time. The GC/MS analysis, carried out on 18 samples, revealed that piperitenone oxide (PO), the main ess...

Patients with chronic dental infection are usually treated with antibiotics. However, the value of antibiotics was decreasing because increased resistance in bacteria. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of herbal crude extract of Mentha arvensis in human Cariogenic pathogens. In this study we obtained crud extract of Mentha arvensis in different solvent 50% and 10% methanol...

grape, like other horticultural products due to high humidity, low relative ph and wealth of nutrients, is subjected to attack by pathogenic fungi during the harvest and storage stages. in this study, at first, the some post-harvest pathogenic fungi of grape were isolated in meshgin-shahr and two fungal species including botrytis cinerea and cladosporium cladosporioides were identified as the d...

This experiment was aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of adding natural extracts (clove, Mentha thyme) with synthetic BHT on some physiochemical, microbial, sensory characteristics lamb patties stored at 4 Cº for 12 days. Results indicated that there’s a steady rise (P<0.01) in oxidative rancidity, microbial pH increasing time storage. Also, significant reduction TBA, observed treate...

Pathogenic and symbiotic bacteria rely on quorum sensing to coordinate the collective behavior during the interactions with their eukaryotic hosts. Many Gram-negative bacteria use N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as signals in such communication. Here we show that plants have evolved means to perceive AHLs and that the length of acyl moiety and the functional group at the γ position specify th...
