the usage of antimicrobial materials for coating meat products, in addition to reducing the microbial population and increase of the quality safety of products, be greatly reduced usage of nitrites as preservatives and synthetic carcinogens. compounds that have antimicrobial activity can be mixed, stabilized or incorporated with edible coatings. spices and vegetable extracts are also a group of...

Garcinia atroviridis (Clusiaceae) has been used as a postpartum medication agent in folkloric medicine. However, its biological potential has not been fully evaluated. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant efficacies, cholinesterase enzyme inhibitory and antimicrobial activity of the stem bark extracts of G. atroviridis. Successive extraction was done using solvents of varied ...

objective: antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles have recently come into the spotlight in endodontic therapy. this study was conducted aiming at comparing the antimicrobial activity of a new irrigation solution containing nanosilver particles with that of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against escherichia coli, enterococcus faecalis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and candida albicans...

background: the genus lagochilus, family lamiaceae consists of 44 species, 33 of which grow in central asia. only one report on the analysis of essential oil of lagochilus species has been published. objective: aim of this study is to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of the hydrodistilled oil of flower and leaves of lagochilus kotschyanus boiss. of iranian origin ...

background and objectives : doogh is an iranian preferred dairy drink, especially in warm seasons. blowing by yeasts is a common occurring spoilage when this product is kept outside the refrigerator in warm temperature. natural additives such as herbal essential oils, which also induce the desired flavor and color, may solve this problem and retard yeast growth. spearmint, pennyroyal and some o...

in this paper we report an eco-friendly route for the synthesis of sliver nanoparticles using agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) extract. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed and characterized by uv-visible spectrum of the aqueous solution containing silver ions showed a peak at 420 nm corresponding to the surface plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. transmission el...

cadmium oxide (cdo) nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method using cadmium acetate and ammonia solution. presence of chemical species, were verified by fourier transform infra red (ftir) spectrum. from x-ray diffraction (xrd) spectrum the particle size, d-spacing value and structure of the nanoparticle were analysed. size of the nanoparticles and the elemental composition were detect...

the essential oils of fresh fruits and terminal branches with adherent leaves of cupressus sempervirens l. and c. horizentalis mill., growing in iran, were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. the oils were also screened for bacteriostatic and fungistatic activities. thirteen and ten components were identified in the essential oils of c. sempervirens and c. horizentalis, respective...

the mucus layer on the skin of fish contain a several of antimicrobial compounds that provide a first line of defense against fish pathogens. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of prebiotic grobiotic®-a on antimicrobial activity and some immune parameters of mucus of cultured juvenile beluga (huso huso). for this purpose, four groups of beluga sturgeon with mea...
