“…This component was not added in the intention to attribute to the Antimicrobial property but rather for the reason of the flavonoids that are present in the mango peel and also for their dietary Fiber content which would in turn help the community (Ajila and prasada, 2013). but surprisingly the peel of mango has also been attributed to antibacterial properties in a study conducted by Abdullah (Abdullah, 2011) . However the antibacterial property against a bacilli like streptococcus mutans was found rather less, thus it may or may not have contributed to the antibacterial property in the present study.…”

An important property that is necessary in a health drink is to have good antimicrobial property. This is a first of its kind health drink that focuses primarily on oral health. The aim of the present study was to estimate the antimicrobial activity of a newly formulated health drink. The various components were weighed out and grinded to fine homogeneous powder.The sample health drink powder was prepared by weighing out 10g of whole black pepper, 18g of almonds, 15g of raisins, 10g of dried and powdered mango peel and fruit along with about 1g of turmeric powder. The same was then assessed against Streptococcus mutans by incorporating it in different dilutions in nutrient agar and incubating the same. It was observed that there was reduction in the growth with increase in concentration. The final growth cultures were compared with the positive and negative controls to estimate the efficacy of the health drink. When colonies were counted it was observed that there was a significant reduction in colonies between 200ml of the extract and 1000ml of the extract. This was a very significant finding as the usage of the health drink would in turn potentially decrease the microbial load in the oral cavity. Within the limits of the present study the formulated health drink proves to have a very good antibacterial activity against common oral pathogens and the discussion also proves the efficacy of the same against systemic pathogens as well. Further studies would lead to the introduction of a superior health drink in the market which would help the entire human race.

“…The ethanolic extracts of MSK from Thai mango (Fahlun, Namdokmai, Raet, Kaeo, and Kaeo Sawoei) showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli [ 19 , 20 ]. Furthermore, the aqueous and alcoholic MSK extracts of waterlily, lemak, and shakran exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus , E. coli, and P. aeruginosa [ 8 ]. Other research studies similarly indicated that the MSK extract exhibited antibacterial properties against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa [ 3 , 5 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Methanolic MSK extract has been reported to show inhibition towards Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. coli , Vibrio vulnificus , and Enterococcus faecalis [ 6 , 10 ]. The MSK extract also had antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and P. aeruginosa [ 3 , 5 , 7 , 8 ]. S. aureus and P. aeruginosa are generally found in chronic wounds [ 11 ].…”

Introduction: The extract from the Mango Seed Kernel (MSK) has been documented to exhibit antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This suggests that biomaterials containing MSK extract could be a viable alternative to conventional wound treatments, such as nanocrystalline silver dressings. Despite this potential, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding comparing the antibacterial effectiveness of MSK film dressings with nanocrystalline silver dressings. This study aimed to develop film dressings containing MSK extract and evaluate their antibacterial properties compared to nanocrystalline silver dressings. Additionally, the study aimed to assess other vital physical properties of these dressings critical for effective wound care.Materials and methods: We prepared MSK film dressings from two cultivars of mango from Thailand, ‘Chokanan’ and ‘Namdokmai’. The inhibition-zone method was employed to determine the antibacterial property. The morphology and chemical characterization of the prepared MSK film dressings were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The absorption of pseudo-wound exudate and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of film dressings were evaluated.Results: The results showed that 40% of MSKC film dressing had the highest inhibition zone (20.00 ± 0.00 mm against S. aureus and 17.00 ± 1.00 mm against P. aeruginosa) and 20%, 30%, and 40% of MSKC and MSKN film dressings had inhibition zones similar to nanocrystalline silver dressing for both S. aureus and P. aeruginosa (p > 0.05). In addition, all concentrations of the MSK film dressings had low absorption capacity, and Chokanan MSK (MSKC) film dressings had a higher WVTR than Namdokmai MSK (MSKN) film dressings.Conclusion: 20%, 30%, and 40% of MSK film dressing is nearly as effective as nanocrystalline silver dressing. Therefore, it has the potential to be an alternative antibacterial dressing and is suitable for wounds with low exudate levels.

“…Phenol-2, 4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) is used as an antioxidant, UV stabilizer, or light protection agent [ 78 , 79 ]. Besides its antimicrobial activity [ 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 ], Ren, et al [ 78 ] confirmed that phenol-2, 4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) from Pseudomonas fluorescens TL-1 possessed antifungal activity. In ethanol-induced gastric damage models, phenol, 3, 5-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) and phenol-2, 4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) were established to exhibit anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective activities [ 76 ].…”

This investigation explored the impact of dietary frankincense resin oil (FO) on growth performance parameters, intestinal histomorphology, fatty acid composition of the breast muscle, and the immune status of broilers. We allotted 400, three-day-old, male chicks (Ross 308 broiler) into four treatment groups (ten replicates/group; ten chicks/replicate). They were fed a basal diet with different concentrations of FO (0, 200, 400, and 600 mg kg−1). FO supplementation increased the overall body weight (BW) and body weight gain (BWG) by different amounts, linearly improving the feed conversion ratio with the in-supplementation level. Total feed intake (TFI) was not affected. Growth hormones and total serum protein levels also linearly increased with the FO level, while albumin was elevated in the FO600 group. Moreover, total globulins increased linearly in FO400 and FO600 treatment groups. Thyroxin hormone (T3 and T4) levels increased in all FO treatment groups without affecting glucose and leptin serum values. Different concentrations of FO supplementation in the diet increased the activities of Complement 3, lysozyme, and interleukin 10 levels in the serum. Dietary FO in broilers increased the total percentage of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. It also increased the ratio of n-3 to n-6 linearly and quadratically. Additionally, FO supplementation led to the upregulation of immune clusters of differentiation 3 and 20 (CD3 and CD20) in the spleen, along with improving most of the morphometric measures of the small intestine. In conclusion, FO up to 600 mg kg−1 as a feed additive in broiler chicken production is valuable for promoting their growth, intestinal histomorphology, and immune status along with enriching breast muscle with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
