The present study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory quality of beef patties containing different levels pennyroyal powder (PP) during storage at 4 °C for up 9 days. PP added 0.75, 1.5, 2.25, 3.0% compared negative (without PP) positive controls (0.01% propyl gallate). addition decreased protein content increased ash (P <0.05). inclusion improved cooking loss, but ...

findings in relation to the inhibitory effects of natural substances against microorganisms showed that herbal products may be alternatives to synthetic and chemical drugs due to their significant therapeutic effects. the pennyroyal ( mentha pulegium ) as an important medicinal plant, belongs to the lamiaceae family is applied in the pharmaceutical and food industries. in recent years, plant ti...

The variability of essential oil characteristics in different phenological stages of Clinopodium pulegium from its natural habitat (Svrljiški Timok gorge, Serbia) and from cultivated plants (Niš, Serbia) was determined. The essential oils were obtained from aerial parts of the plants by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. These are the first data on the essential oil characteristics of pla...

Corn starch-based films are inherently brittle and lack the necessary mechanical integrity for conventional packaging. However, the incorporation of additives can potentially improve the mechanical properties and processability of starch films. In this work two essential oils, Zataria multiflora Boiss (ZEO) or Mentha pulegium (MEO) at three levels (1%, 2% and 3% (v/v)), were incorporated into s...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) leaf powder supplementation in ration on performance, some blood serum biochemical parameters and antioxidant status weaned Tuj lambs. Twenty-four male lambs with an average body weight 11.5±0.3 kg were allocated three groups. While no added basal control group, dried leaves at levels 0.1% (P1) 0.2% (P2) treatmen...
