objective: oxidation of oils has an important effect on nutritional and organoleptic properties of foodstuffs. nowadays, new tendency has created a necessity to use natural compounds such as essential oils for producing functional foods. in this study, antioxidant, antifungal, and organoleptic properties of zataria multiflora boiss.(zmeo) and cinnamon zeylanicum essential oils (czeo) have been ...

biofilm of pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, can cause serious health problems, such as chronic infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. many studies have suggested administration of new generation of antibiotics, as p. aeruginosa biofilms have developed high resistance to antimicrobial drugs. this study reports the inhibitory effect of three medicinal plant extrac...

background: autoxidation is considered to be the main route of edible oil deterioration, which produces undesirable odors and flavors (attributed to primary and secondary products of unsaturated fatty acids) during storage and heating. objective: antioxidant activities of zataria multiflora (zmeo) and bunium persicum (bpeo) essential oils (eos) in linseed oil (containing higher ω-3 in vegetable...

In order to does this study, 150 Persian sturgeons having 75g mean weight transferred to 500 liter tanks. After dividing the fishes into two groups (experimental and control), the fingerlings fed by concentrate food that contained different levels of Zataria multiflora essential oil (15, 25, 50, 100 g/kg) for 8 weeks. Finally, sampling carried out on blood and serum of fishes. After preparing t...

Background: Aspergillus flavus is a toxic contaminant in foods, which can induce mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic effects. In last decades, synthetic fungicides have been used for inhibition of fungal growth in plants. The public attention was also attracted to contamination of food chain by these chemicals. Therefore, in the current study, we decided to use Zataria multiflora (ZM) esse...
