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 ...

Wine industry is engaged in finding technological ways to decrease alcohol concentration in wines without spoiling their organoleptic properties. Such challenge requires, among other strategies, modification of the yeast strains carrying out the fermentation. In this issue of Microb. Biotechnol., Goold and colleagues have reviewed one of the most straightforward yeast modification, altering its...

Background: Listeria monocytogenes is an important Gram-positive disease-causing bacterium existing in milk and dairy products. Inhibitory effects of Mentha pulegium essential oil at concentrations of 0.03, 0.015, and 0.0075% on growth of L. monocytogenes were studied in Iranian white cheese during 60 days of storage. Methods: Essential oil of M. pulegium plant, collected from north of Iran,...

Corynebacterium casei is one of the most prevalent species present on the surfaces of smear-ripened cheeses, where it contributes to the production of the desired organoleptic properties. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Corynebacterium casei UCMA 3821 to provide insights into its physiology.

The effect of modifying polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POX) activity during the extraction of virgin olive oil has been assessed in terms of its influence on the phenolic profile of the oil produced. These enzymes were modified by adding exogenous enzyme or specific inhibitors during the milling and subsequent kneading step, studying the effect on specific phenolic compounds in the oi...
