Assessment of Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties on Meat Homogenates of Essential Oils Obtained from Four Thymus Species Achieved from Organic Growth
Ballester-Costa C, Sendra E, Fernández-López J, Pérez-Álvarez JA, Viuda-Martos M Foods, 2017 ABSTRACT: In the organic food industry, no chemical additives can be used to prevent microbial spoilage. As a consequence, the essential oils (EOs) obtained from organic aromatic herbs and spices are gaining interest for their potential as preservatives. The organic Thymus zygis, Thymus mastichina, Thymus capitatus and Thymus… Read more »
In vivo and in vitro control activity of plant essential oils against three strains of Aspergillus niger
Kumar P, Mishra S, Kumar A, Kumar S, Prasad CS Environmental Science & Pollution Research, 2017 ABSTRACT: Contamination of environment and food from the prevalent spores and mycotoxins of Aspergillus niger has led to several diseases in humans and other animals. The present study investigated the control activity of plant essential oils against three strains… Read more »

Nikkhah M, Hashemi M, Habibi Najafi MB, Farhoosh R International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2017 ABSTRACT: The development of natural protective agents as alternatives to chemical fungicides is currently in the spotlight. In the present investigation, chemical composition and antifungal activities of thyme, cinnamon, rosemary and marjoram essential oils (EO), as well as synergism of their possible double… Read more »
Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a monoterpene synthase isolated from the aromatic wild shrub Thymus albicans
Filipe A, Cardoso JCR, Miguel G, Anjos L, Trindade H, Figueiredo AC, Barroso J, Power DM, Marques NT Journal of Plant Physiology, 2017 ABSTRACT: The essential oil of Thymus albicans Hoffmanns. & Link, a native shrub from the Iberian Peninsula, is mainly composed of monoterpenes. In this study, a 1,8-cineole synthase was isolated from the 1,8-cineole chemotype. A partial sequence that lacked the complete plastid… Read more »
Effects of rosemary, thyme and lemongrass oils and their major constituents on detoxifying enzyme activity and insecticidal activity in Trichoplusia ni
Tak JH, Jovel E, Isman MB Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2017 ABSTRACT: Although there have been many reports on the synergistic interactions among the major constituents of plant essential oils regarding insecticidal activity, their underlying mechanism of synergy is poorly understood. In our previous studies, we found each of the two most abundant constituents of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis… Read more »

Thymus vulgaris L. and thymol assist murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) in the control of in vitro infections by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans
de Oliveira JR, Figueira LW, Sper FL, Meccatti VM, Camargo SEA, de Oliveira LD Immunologic Research, 2017 ABSTRACT: Microorganisms are capable to combat defense cells by means of strategies that contribute to their stabilization and proliferation in invaded tissues. Frequently antimicrobial-resistant strains appear; therefore, alternative methods to control them must be investigated, for example, the use of plant products. The… Read more »
Development of antimicrobial nanoemulsion-based delivery systems against selected pathogenic bacteria using a thymol rich Thymus daenensis essential oil
Ghaderi L, Moghimi R, Aliahmadi A, McClements DJ, Rafati H Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2017 ABSTRACT: AIMS: Thymol rich medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine to relieve infectious diseases. However, the application of essential oils as medicine is limited by its low water-solubility and high vapor pressure. The objective of this study was to produce stable nanoemulsions of Thymus daenensis oil in… Read more »
