Poultry meat is one of the perishable foods. The growth of pathogenic microorganisms may occur in chicken meat during refrigerated storage. Microbial growth causes serious hazard in food safety consumer. The aim of this study was to compare antimicrobial properties of Thymus vulgaris (TEO) and Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZEO) and the effect of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) films containin...

in this study, antimicrobial effects of zataria multiflora boiss added to sodium caseinate film on four bacterial species: staphylococcus aurous, escherichia coli, bacillus subtilis and salmonella intertidis was investigated. disk diffusion method was used to study the antimicrobial activity of zataria multiflora boiss in sodium caseinate film. 9 mm disks were prepared from produced films with ...

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the major causes of infections in developing countries. In this study, chemical composition and anti-listerial effect of the essential oil of Zataria multiflora Boiss. alone and in combination with monolaurin were evaluated at different pH values (5, 6, and 7) and temperatures (5 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Chemical composition of Zataria multiflora</em...

This study aims at evaluating the effects of Zataria multiflora (Z. multiflora) essential oil (EO) on growth, aflatoxin production and transcription of aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway genes. Total RNAs of Aspergillus parasiticus (A.parasiticus) ATCC56775 grown in yeast extract sucrose (YES) broth medium treated with Z. multiflora EO were subjected to reverse transcription- polymerase chain react...
