OBJECTIVE To isolate Salmonella from curry samples and to evaluate the drug sensitivity of the food-borne Salmonella and its susceptibility to specific plant extracts. METHODS Salmonella was isolated from the curry samples by standard microbiological methods and was confirmed by biochemical tests. The antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted by disc diffusion method using commercially ava...

Commercial plant essential oils from 26 plant species were tested for their nematicidal activities against the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Good nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus was achieved with essential oils of ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi), allspice (Pimenta dioica) and litsea (Litsea cubeba). Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry led to identification o...

Objective: Reactive oxygen species and free radicals generate oxidative stress in the living cells associated with number of chronic diseases. Current research is directed towards finding naturally occurring antioxidants of plant origin. Hence, this study was aimed to determine phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic seed extract of Trachyspermum a...

Most of the dyes are carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. Plants potential candidates to remediate textile dye wastewater from contaminated sites. The present study aimed design an efficient hydroponic system screen ornamental plant species for removal synthetic solution triarylmethane Methylene Blue (MB) diazo Congo Red (CR). plants selected screening Trachyspermum ammi, Tagetes erecta, Hibis...
