Antimicrobial activity of clove oil dispersed in a concentrated sugar solution

Abstract: Essential oil of clove, dispersed (0.4% v/v) in a concentrated sugar solution, had a marked germicidal effect against various bacteria and Candida albicans. Staphylococcus aureus (five strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium perfringens, and Escherichia coli inoculated at a level of 10(7) cfu/ml, and C. albicans (inoculum 4.0 x 10(5) cfu/ml) were killed (greater than 99.999%) after 2-7 min in a laboratory broth supplemented with 63% (v/w) of sugar, and containing 0.4% (v/w) of esse… Show more

“…Similar antifungal properties of CO were observed both in distilled water and sugar solution (3). Nevertheless, the concentrated sugar solution provided a good vehicle in that a relatively more stable dispersion of the oil was easily obtained; this was not the case with distilled water since oil droplets formed soon after oil was dispersed.…”

“…Trials to determine the fungicidal effect were made following a previously described procedure (3,5). Briefly, 9.9 ml of test solution were placed in a water bath at 21ºC or 37ºC, and 0.1 ml of inocula was added.…”

“…Its active ingredient, eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol), makes up 70 to 90% by weight of clove oil. clove oil also contains eugenol acetate ( 17%) (Sato and Burhanuddin 1995;isaacs 1983;briozzo et al 1989;keene et al 1998). despite the common use of anaesthetics in fish, there is little information about their influence on the sturgeon organism.…”

“…Clove oil is also distilled from stems, leaves and flower buds of Eugenia caryophyllata, and its active ingredient, i.e. eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol), makes up 70 to 90% by weight (Isaacs, 1983;Briozzo et al, 1989;Keene et al, 1998). Besides eugenol acetate (> 17%) and cariofilen 5 (> 12%), clove oil also contains a very broad range of terpene compounds that give the oil its characteristic smell and taste (Ross and Ross, 1999;Taylor and Roberts, 1999).…”

“…Because of its properties, eugenol is used in a variety of different applications, e.g. as an antioxidant (Kremer, 1985;Nagababu and Lakshmaiah, 1992;Pulla Reddy and Lokesh, 1992;Rajakumar and Rao, 1993), antimycotic (Bullerman et al, 1977;Karapinar, 1990) and an antibacterial (Karapinar and Aktug, 1987;Briozzo et al, 1989;Moleyar and Narasimham, 1992), but also as an additive used in certain cigarettes (Voie et al, 1986;Guidotti, 1989). Endo et al (1972) described the use of clove oil as an anaesthetic in warm-blooded animals.…”
