Natural derivatives, such as essential oils, are presented an alternative to classical biocides the treatment of biocolonization. Thus, in this work, cleaning and biocidal potential some natural derivatives towards two biofilms’ growth on same granite wall, with different microbial composition, was evaluated. For purpose, three oils (EOs) (from Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris Calamintha nepet...

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a resistant bacterium responsible for food poisoning. The present survey was done to assess the genotyping and antibiotic resistance of MRSA strains isolated from raw frozen meat samples assessment antimicrobial effects Origanum vulgare against isolates. Methods: Two-hundred were collected presence assessed using culture. Disk diffusion...

When attacked by herbivorous insects, plants emit volatile compounds that attract natural enemies of the insects. It has been proposed that these volatile signals can be manipulated to improve crop protection. Here, we demonstrate the full potential of this strategy by restoring the emission of a specific belowground signal emitted by insect-damaged maize roots. The western corn rootworm induce...

In the present work, oregano leaves (Origanum vulgare L.) are explored as natural source of nutraceuticals with antioxidant activity. To do this, subcritical water extraction (SWE), a new environmentally friendly technique, is employed as extraction procedure and HPLC coupled to DAD is used for the chemical characterization of the extracts. Moreover, the radical scavenging 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl...

Chrpová D., Kouřimská L., Gordon M.H., Heřmanová V., Roubíčková I., Pánek J. (2010): Antioxidant activity of selected phenols and herbs used in diets for medical conditions. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 317–325. The antioxidant capacity of some herbs used in dietology practice was determined by the DPPH free radical method, which was calibrated with ascorbic acid. Partially hydrophilic phenolic comp...

Bu çalışma hidrodistilasyon yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilmiş olan Origanum vulgare, Salvia officinalis, Rosmarinus officinalis ve Mentha piperita bitkilerinin uçucu yağlarının Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579, Escherichia coli 25922, Salmonella typhimurium 14028, Staphylococcus aureus 25923 mikroorganizmaları üzerindeki antimikrobiyal etkilerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Antimikrobiyal etk...

In Italy, the production of Origanum vulgare L. is lower than national market demand, so there an increasing interest in this crop, even if manual harvest and bunch binding represent ca. 60% cost. The aim work to evaluate efficiency, as well working capacity, productivity quality mechanical harvesting by means a reaper-binder designed for cereal forage crops assisted long-reach edge trimmer. fa...
