use of natural antimicrobial compounds extracted from plants such as cinnamon as preservative to extend the shelf life has gain much attention. in this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity and bio- preservative potential of the methanolic extract of cinnamomum verum bark and its oil against bacillus subtilis , pseudomonas aeruginosae and escherichia coli in ketchup sauce. in order to ...

Green mussels (Perna viridis) are one of the prospective aquatic resources that can be developed into a high-value commodity. Their shells, on other hand, rarely used and discarded; despite fact shells contain chitosan, which as food preservative.The purpose this study is to examine effect chitosan administration from green mussel Sonneratia caseolaris mangrove syrup at various concentrations. ...

Consumer demand of minimally processed foods without synthetic preservatives has led to a growing interest in their replacement for more natural alternatives. onion is widely used as a food ingredient and it is known as a good source of bioactive compounds, such as sulphur-containing compounds and flavonoids with well known health beneficial effects, antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities. Co...

Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized peptides or proteins with antimicrobial activity, produced by different groups of bacteria. Many lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce bacteriocins with rather broad spectra of inhibition. Though these bacteriocins are produced by LAB found in numerous fermented and non-fermented foods, nisin is currently the only bacteriocin widely used as a food preservat...

Complete with kitchen and dining room and backed by a government laboratory, the project was the brainchild of scientists from the Bureau of Chemistry (now the Food and Drug Administration). Chief chemist Harvey W. Wiley, M.D., considered by many to be the founding father of the FDA, spearheaded the effort to separate scientific facts on food safety from the recurrent food safety scares that ha...

Green bactericides are excellent strategies for reducing food spoilage. Phloretin was regarded as efficient, broad-spectrum and safe preservative, which showed enormous potential in industry. Inhibitory mechanism of phloretin on Listeria monocytogenes systematically elucidated through integrity cell membrane, intracellular protein content, energy level, nucleic acid morphological character. SEM...

Basil is a plant that can be used as traditional medicine. One part of the basil an alternative medicine leaves. leaves contain active compounds, including flavonoids, saponins, tanins, and essensial oils. These compounds able to prevent presence pathogenic bacteria accelerate food spoilage, so natural preservative. The objective study was determine ability preservative for mackerel. research c...

This study was performed to investigate effect of essential oils on Aspergillus spore germination, growth, and mycotoxin production. In vitro antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activities of Cymbopogon martinii, Foeniculum vulgare, and Trachyspermum ammi essential oils were carried out on toxigenic strains of Aspergillus species. Plant materials were hydrodistilled for 4-5 h in Clevenger apparatu...

Sodium metabisulphite is used as an antioxidant agent in many pharmaceutical formulations. It is extensively used as a food preservative and disinfectant. It has been demonstrated that sulphite exposure can affect some organs. Curcumin, the main element of Curcuma longa, has been identified to have multiple protective properties. The present study extends the earlier works to quantitative evalu...
