This study addresses the chemical composition of some commercial essential oils (clove, juniper, oregano, and marjoram oils), as well as appropriate herbal extracts obtained in the process of cold maceration and their biological activity against selected Escherichia coli strains: E. coli ATTC 25922, E. coli ATTC 10536, and E. coli 127 isolated from poultry waste. On the basis of the gas chromat...

The present study was envisaged to investigate in-vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant efficacy of lemongrass, cinnamon and clove essential oils for their potential application in meat products. Antimicrobial potential was measured by using zone inhibition assay and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against foodborne pathogens including Gram positive and Gram negative whereas, antioxidant a...

This study investigated the effect of dry heat on the antioxidant capacity of water extracts of six spices, namely black pepper (Piper nigrum Linn.), cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum Linn.), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, syn. C. zeylanicum Blume), sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) and golpar (H. persicum Desf. Ex.), which were either roasted or heated in a microwave oven, powdered...

The effect of the commonly used spice extracts cinnamon and clove and their main ingredients on the activity of various ATPases were investigated. Water extracts of both spices inhibited the activity of rat liver Na+/K+ ATPase, and Cu2+-ATPase, but stimulated F0F1ATPase. Similar effects were obtained with cinnamaldehyde and eugenol the major components of cinnamon and clove, respectively with e...

Abstract Background Grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea of cucumber immature fruits is the most epidemic fungal diseases causing significantly losses during development on plant in winter season. Material and methods Crude nanoemulsions clove, black seed, lemon orange essential oils at (5000 ppm) also different formulations seed as single or combination were tested against mycelial linear gro...

Abstract Objective Although many bacterial culture media are available commercially, there is a continuous effort to develop better selective for bacteria, which cannot be grown on existing media. While exploring antibacterial properties of clove, we observed that it has the potential selectively inhibit growth certain types bacteria. This led us do experiments, resulted in developing new allow...

Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. is a fungal pathogen that causes sheath blight in rice plants. Sheath disease can reduce production for the people of Indonesia. To prevent blight, fungicides are used. The continuous use synthetic with inappropriate doses have negative impact, so it necessary to look alternatives vegetable fungicides, one which clove leaf (Syzygium aromaticum L.). aim this study was de...
