Preparation of natural preservative from Clove, Eucalyptus and Rosemary extracts as the substitute nitrite in chicken sausage

BACKGROUND The increase in demand and consumption of single clove garlic or 'Solo garlic' (Allium sativum) has resulted in an increase in research on its therapeutic properties. The present study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activities, oxidant-scavenging efficiency and preventive effects of SCG (single clove garlic) and MCG (multi clove garlic) on CCl4-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male ...

Since the discovery of AFB1 as an important mycotoxin in 1960, several investigations have attempted to develop methods for the degradation and removal of mycotoxins from food and feed. The use of chemical preservatives in food to abate the mycotoxin problem has disadvantages due to residual effects of these preservatives on human and animal health (Freedman 1980; Parke and Lewis 1992; Knezevic...

Eleven essential oils (EOs) were evaluated for their antibacterial properties, against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and E. coli O157:H7. EOs were introduced into Brain Heart Infusion agar (BHI) (15ml) at a concentration of 0.25 to 2% (vol/vol) to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) for each pathogen evaluated. Results showe...

Plant essential oils (EOs) have been reported to have health benefit properties and their preventive and therapeutic use in animals is expected to increase in the future. We evaluated the influence of five essential oils obtained from plant species which are known to have positive antimicrobial, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects--sage EO from Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae), oregano...

Determination of clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) essential oil and comparison its antibacterial properties with some conventional antibiotics

background: natural flavors are widely used in various foods, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products . these kinds of additives are applied as colors, preservatives, aroma and tasting agents.   objective: the large-scale use of certain food flavors requires accumulation of toxicological data on these substances, particularly in cases where structural similarities with other known substances showi...

The invasive macroalgal species Avrainvillea sp. and native species Halimeda kanaloana form expansive meadows that extend to depths of 80 m or more in the waters off of O'ahu and Maui, respectively. Despite their wide depth distribution, comparatively little is known about the biota associated with these macroalgal species. Our primary goals were to provide baseline information on the fish faun...

The present study explores the association of Aspergillus niger with stored raw and powdered ingredients of Triphala Churn, which is a 1:1:1 proportional combination of Emblica officinalis Gaertn. (Amla), Terminalia bellerica (Gaertn.) Roxb. (Baheda), and Terminalia chebula Retz. (Harada) respectively. Total 106 stored fruits and 68 powdered samples of E. officinalis, T. bellerica and T. chebul...

Bacteria, one of the smallest organisms to inhabit the Earth, have some of the largest ecological impacts on their communities. They interact with plants, animals, and other bacteria. Bacteria can be printed using 3D printing methods that recombine different traits of different bacteria. Connell and his research team printed Staphylococcus aureus with a Psuedomonas aeruginosa shell, increasing ...
