Background & Aim:  Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in clinical medicine. The adverse effects they produce in the gastrointestinal tract however, often limit their utility. Oxidative stress has been shown to occur in the small intestine in response to the oral administration of indomethacin. In view of this, the effect of thyme essential oil, an agent with anti-o...

www.medigraphic.com ABSTRACT Biological activity of the distilled essential oil, ethanol extract, and infusion of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) was evaluated on the growth of group A ß-hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes, the primary cause of faryngoamygdalitis. Sensitivity tests and measurements the zones of inhibition in vitro was performed. The distilled essential oil showed the greatest effect (i...

Eleven essential oils (EOs) were evaluated for their antibacterial properties, against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and E. coli O157:H7. EOs were introduced into Brain Heart Infusion agar (BHI) (15ml) at a concentration of 0.25 to 2% (vol/vol) to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) for each pathogen evaluated. Results showe...

Background & Aim: Drought stress, as a main abiotic stress, has a significant influence on growth and metabolic activities of plant species. In this study, the influence of reduced irrigation on dry herbage, essential oil yield, and chemical components of two thyme species were investigated. Experimental: This study was done in an experimental greenhouse, I.A.U., Shahrekord Branch, Iran at 201...

Thymus serpyllum L. (wild thyme) is a perennial shrub, native to areas of northern and central Europe. Its aerial parts are most frequently used in ethnomedicine (mainly for treating illnesses and problems related to the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems), although recently its essential oils are becoming more popular as an important plant-derived product. The composition of these oils i...

In this study, thyme essensial oil was extracted by water distillation method and was analysed by GS/MS, then we investigated the antifungal effect of this essential oil on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri. (A), Macrophomina phaseolina (B), Bipolaris spicifera (C) on the basis of agar dilution method with different concentrations (200, 400, 800 and 1600) The test was carried out with factorial e...

combining antimicrobial agents directly into a food packaging is a form of active packaging. in this study chitosan-based edible films containing thyme and cinnamon essential oils at 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% v/v were prepared to examine their antibacterial, physical and mechanical properties. scanning electron microscopy was carried out to explain structure-property relationships. films were more eff...

the antifungal potential of essential oils of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.), rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.), and laurel (laurus nobilis l.) was determined. to establish this antifungal potential, two molds related to feed spoilage, namely, aspergillus flavus and aspergillus parasiticus, were selected. the agar dilution method was employed for the determination of antifungal activities. the i...
