Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) is a well-known traditional medicine and cooking spice. Recent practice has also applied the essential oil from oregano (OEO) in poultry due to its great potential for an antibiotic alternative. Our objective was evaluate effects of OEO (with carvacrol thymol as main active ingredient) on preventing necrotic enteritis (NE) caused by Clostridium perfringens (Cp) chi...

The aim of this study was to optimise the antimicrobial efficacy of plant essential oils (EOs) for control of Listeria spp. and spoilage bacteria using food model media based on lettuce, meat and milk. The EOs evaluated were lemon balm, marjoram, oregano and thyme and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined against Enterobacter spp., Listeria spp., Lactobacillus spp., and ...

Oregano essential oil (OEO) possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant, and preservative properties, making it a promising candidate for various biotechnological biomedical applications. However, the inherent volatility, hydrophobicity, susceptibility to external factors such as light, heat, oxygen can compromise its stability bioactivity. To overcome these limitations, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) w...
