The present study investigated the effect of sumac (SWE) and Rosemary water extracts (RWE) on microbial growth in ground beef meat during refrigerated storage. The meat samples were explored for changes in TVC, E.coli (0157:H7) and S.aureus populations. Antimicrobial effectiveness of extracts was more pronounced against Gram-positive strain compared with Gram-negative strain. Antimicrobial impa...

The present study aims to examine the efficacy of the natural antimicrobial ε-poly-L-lysine against Streptococcus mutans and against total aerobic oral microflora, alone and in combination with the natural antimicrobial peptide nisin. In in vitro studies, natural antimicrobials nisin A and ε-poly-L-lysine synergized in their action against S. mutans, leading to the microorganism's full inhibiti...

This review discusses the status, antimicrobial mechanisms, application, and regulation of natural preservatives in livestock food systems. Conventional preservatives are synthetic chemical substances including nitrates/nitrites, sulfites, sodium benzoate, propyl gallate, and potassium sorbate. The use of artificial preservatives is being reconsidered because of concerns relating to headache, a...

thyme essential oils (eo) with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and perfume industry. it is also used for flavoring and preservation of several foods. nowadays, packaging research is receiving a considerable attention due to the development of eco-friendly materials made from natural polymers such as starch and chitosan. in this study thymus ...

background: in recent years, immunocompromised patients are at high risk for the development of invasive aspergillosis. due to the increase of antimicrobial resistance, natural agents with medicinal and immunomodulatory effects has gained more attention. honey is a natural substance with documented antimicrobial, anti-inflamatory and wound healing effects. objectives: the purpose of this study ...

Natural dyes gained increasing attention due to environmental considerations. Many of the dye plants have also medicinal values. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 25 plants as dyes and their dyed wool yarns against microorganisms. Prokaryotes were found to be more sensitive to dye extracts than eukaryotic microorganisms and dyestuff from Punica granatum, Berberis vulgaris, Agrimoni...
