In this study, we evaluate the olfactory responses of Mahanarva spectabilis adults to aqueous extracts from following non-host plants for pest insect: garlic (Allium sativum L.), rue (Ruta graveolens cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum star anise (Illicium Hook.f), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.), tobacco (Nicotiana ...

The anti-Candida activity of essential oil from Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, as well as its effect on the roughness and hardness of the acrylic resin used in dental prostheses, was assessed. The safety and tolerability of the test product were assessed through a phase I clinical trial involving users of removable dentures. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentrat...

La canela (Cinnamomum sp.) es una especie con algunas limitantes sanitarias pero significativas, siendo Phytophthora cinnamomi y Fusarium sp. las de mayor importancia que afectan la raíz. Su control fungicidas sintéticos ha favorecido el desarrollo resistencia debido a su mal manejo, por lo aceites esenciales alternativa viable. El objetivo fue determinar potencial antifúngico los tomillo clavo...

The use of new natural antimicrobials has gained attention from the pharmaceutical and food industry, in addition to end consumers, as additive options conventional antibiotics for resistant microorganisms also preservatives. Essential oils are secondary plant metabolites that protect plants against predators pathogens. aim this study was evaluate thermal properties cinnamon essential oil (EO) ...

BACKGROUND Haemophilus ducreyi is the bacterium responsible for the genital ulcer disease chancroid, a cofactor for the transmission of HIV, and it is resistant to many antibiotics. With the goal of exploring possible alternative treatments, we tested essential oils (EOs) for their efficacy as antimicrobial agents against H. ducreyi. METHODS We determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (...

OBJECTIVE To explore the in vitro antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts of cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum; CIN), clove (Syzygium aromaticum, CLV) and cumin (Cuminum cyminum, CMN) against clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), from Kolkata, India. METHODS The CIN, CLV and CMN were tested for their antibacterial activity against MRSA by in vitro methods...

New agents that are effective against common pathogens are needed particularly for those resistant to conventional antimicrobial agents. Essential oils (EOs) are known for their antimicrobial activity. Using the broth microdilution method, we showed that (1) two unique blends of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Daucus carota, Eucalyptus globulus and Rosmarinus officinalis EOs (AB1 and AB2; cinnamon EOs f...

Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume is known for a wide range of medicinal properties. This study aimed to assess the interference of C. zeylanicum essential oil on the growth and morphogenesis of some potentially pathogenic Aspergillus species. The essential oil presented strong antifungal effect causing the growth inhibition of the assayed strains and development of large growth inhibition zones. MIC...
