“…DOI: 10.17306/J.AFS.2016.4.34 www.food.actapol.net/ are treated with a sub-lethal concentration of essential plant oils and individual compounds. According to research which has been carried out, exposure of cells to concentrations of natural antimicrobial agents does not cause selective pressure and the resulting development of resistance mechanisms in bacterial cells (Bakkali et al, 2008;Dimitrijevic et al, 2007). Plant extracts containing polycyclic compounds with estrogenic activity (the so-called phytoestrogens) may also be used in pharmacy as an alternative method of hormone replacement therapy for treatment of menopausal disorders.…”
