Background and objectives: Food poisoning has been always a major concern in health system of every community and cream-filled products are one of the most widespread food poisoning causes in humans. In present study, we examined the preservative effect of the cinnamon oil in cream-filled cakes. Methods: Antimicrobial activity of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl (Cinnamon) bark essential oil was exami...

The aims of the study were to determine the in vitro cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activities of common edible herbs and spices on cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Piper betle L. (betel leaf), P.sarmentosum Roxb. (wild betel / kadok leaf), P.nigrum L. (black pepper seed), Eugenia caryophyllata L. (clove bud) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (cinnamon bark).

Cinnamon bark is commonly used in traditional Japanese herbal medicines (Kampo medicines). The coumarin contained in cinnamon is known to be hepatotoxic, and a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.1 mg/kg/day, has been quantified and used in Europe to insure safety. Risk assessments for hepatotoxicity by the cinnamon contained in foods have been reported. However, no such assessment of cinnamon ba...

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil on antioxidant status of chickens. Thirty-two female Ross 308 hybrid broilers were fed one of four diets supplemented with 0%, 0.1%, 0.05% and 0.025% of essential oil for 38 days. Blood, liver, kidney and duodenal epithelium were collected for the subsequent evaluation of antioxidant status. Feeding o...

The antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial potentials of volatile oils and oleoresin of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (leaf and bark) were investigated in the present study. The oleoresins have shown excellent activity for the inhibition of primary and secondary oxidation products in mustard oil added at the concentration of 0.02% which were evaluated using peroxide, thiobarbituric acid, p-ani...

Essential oils present a fine antibacterial performance against a variety of bacteria. The main component of the cinnamon oil was eugenol (75.52%). In this study, the goal was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and reveal bactericidal mechanism of cinnamon oil. Firstly, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericide concentration (MBC) of cinnamon oil were tested. Th...

Objective(s): Among herbal oils, cinnamon bark oil has several advantages such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. It is already reported that particle size of oil droplets affects their properties such as their antibacterial activity. In this study, we investigated inhibitory activity of cinnamon oil products including bulk, microemulsion (ME) and nanoemulsion (NE)...
