“…These bioactive compounds play an important role in disease prevention, but the mechanism of biological action is still not well understood. Various biological functions are altered by ginger, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities (LIU et al, 2017;SHARIFI-RAD et al, 2017;RAHMANI et al, 2014;SUHAD et al, 2012).…”

ResumoA funcionalidade dos alimentos nutracêuticos é atribuída aos seus compostos bioativos. Estes compostos são amplamente produzidos pelos vegetais, tais como os compostos fenólicos, que possuem atividade antioxidante e/ou atividade antimicrobiana entre outras, agindo contra danos em macromoléculas como lipídeos, proteínas e ácidos nucléicos. Os metabólitos secundários das plantas, incluindo algumas classes como compostos fenólicos, alcaloides e terpenóides, possuem uma ampla variedade de atividades biológicas com potencial medicinal. Esses metabólitos secundários são considerados compostos bioativos. A família Zingiberaceae tem recebido atenção especial, por produzir muitos compostos bioativos que são úteis em alimentos como ervas e especiarias; aromatizantes e temperos; nas indústrias farmacêutica e cosmética como agentes antioxidantes e antimicrobianos. Os gengibres são reconhecidos como seguros pela American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) e não possuem efeitos colaterais quando consumidos em quantidades moderadas. Estudos recentes demonstram que além dos rizomas, as folhas e flores de algumas espécies de gengibres possuem atividade antioxidante e consequentemente um potencial medicinal. Estudos demonstram que são necessárias pesquisas in vitro e in vivo para avaliar a eficácia dos extratos do gengibre e compreender o seu papel na modulação das vias biológicas e moleculares, possibilitando assim, novas estratégias terapêuticas. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo, uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a atividade antimicrobiana de Zingiber officinale Roscoe e Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K. Schum. (Zingiberaceae), conhecidos popularmente como gengibre e gengibre-vermelho respectivamente e seu uso na Saúde Única.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of coriander essential oil and its major constituent, linalool, in combination with antibiotics against Gram‐positive (methicillin‐susceptible and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis) and Gram‐negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli). The chemical composition of coriander essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization and mass spectrometry detection. The antibacterial activity of coriander essential oil, linalool and their combinations with antibiotics were assessed by the broth microdilution and checkerboard assays respectively. Thirty‐four compounds were identified in coriander essential oil, linalool (70·11%) being predominant. Coriander essential oil and linalool showed synergistic interactions with antibiotics (oxacillin, amoxicillin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline) against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. In these synergistic combinations, minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics were markedly reduced; even antibiotic resistance reversal activity was recorded. These findings are very promising for the development of new therapeutic options for bacterial infections. Significance and Impact of the Study Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Gram‐negative bacteria are still major threats to human health and, therefore, identification of new antibacterial agents or combinations with high potency is needed. Our study found synergistic interactions between coriander essential oil/linalool and antibiotics against MRSA and other Gram‐positive bacteria (methicillin‐susceptible S. aureus, S. epidermidis), but also Gram‐negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli). Increase in antibiotic susceptibility and reversal of antibiotic resistance were also demonstrated. Combinations of coriander essential oil/linalool and antibiotics are thus very promising for the development of novel antibacterials.

“…Several of them are characterized by antimicrobial activities, mainly due to their content in terpenes and phenylpropanoids [4,5], and have been used both in therapy [6] and to control spoilage flora of foodstuff [7]. Natural plant materials have been used as food preservatives against both bacteria and fungi [8,9]. Consequently, natural mixtures have been added to a variety of foodstuff, including cheese, to control fungi producing visible fungal growth, off-flavours and/or mycotoxins [2].…”

Microscopic fungi can be present on a variety of foodstuff, including cheese. They can be responsible for fungal spoilage, causing sensory changes making food unacceptable for human consumption, and posing severe health concerns. Furthermore, some of these organisms are able to resist antimicrobial preservatives provided for by law. Antifungal activity of 15 chemically defined EOs, alone and in mixture, were checked by a microdilution test against isolates of Penicillium funiculosum and Mucor racemosus cultured from rinds of Marzolino, a typical Italian fresh pecorino cheese. Origanum vulgare yielded the lowest MIC values, followed by Salvia sclarea, Ocimum basilicum and Cymbopogon citratus, while Citrus paradisi and Citrus limon were not active. All mixtures showed antifungal activity at lower concentration with respect to MIC values of each EO component, when not in combination. This study is the first to describe the setting up of EOs mixtures to limit spoiling moulds.
