In this paper, we extracted, analyzed and studied the antimicrobial activity of Algerian parsley essential oil on several microbes that cause infectious diseases and its effects on kinetics of lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus. The essential oil of parsley (Petroselinum crispum Hoffm) obtained by hydrodistillation was characterized by its physicochemical properties and by its chromatographic profiles. Myristicin and dillapiol were identified by gas chromatographyspectrometry mass (GC/MS). The essential oil showed a high antimicrobial spectrum towards Bacillus cereus and Candida albicans, average effectiveness against Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis and no influence on Escherichia coli. The key odorant effects of parsley in the growth of Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus was studied. The results showed that L. rhamnosus can produce up to 10.96 and 13.78 g.L-1 of lactic acid on the control fermentation and on the second fermentation, respectively, characterized by the addition of 20 µL of the essential oil in the growth exponential phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
