“…This is especially true in regard to plant volatile oils and their antimicrobial evaluation, as can be seen from the comprehensive range of organisms against which volatile oils have been tested. These have included food spoiling organisms (Zaika et al 1983(Zaika et al , 1984bConnor & Beuchat 1984a;Janssen et al 1988;Ouattara et al 1997) and food poisoning organisms (Beuchat 1976;Tharib et al 1983;Deans & Ritchie 1987;Lis-Balchin & Deans 1997), spoilage and mycotoxigenic filamentous fungi (Knobloch et al 1989), pathogenic and dimorphic yeasts (Boonchild & Flegel 1982;Ghannoum 1988) and animal and plant viruses (Ieven et al 1982;Romerio et al 1989).…”

The volatile oils of black pepper [Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae)], clove [Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry (Myrtaceae)], geranium [Pelargonium graveolens L'Herit (Geraniaceae)], nutmeg [Myristica fragrans Houtt. (Myristicaceae), oregano [Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum (Link) Letsw. (Lamiaceae)] and thyme [Thymus vulgaris L. (Lamiaceae)] were assessed for antibacterial activity against 25 different genera of bacteria. These included animal and plant pathogens, food poisoning and spoilage bacteria. The volatile oils exhibited considerable inhibitory effects against all the organisms under test while their major components demonstrated various degrees of growth inhibition.

“…A standard agar diffusion technique as described by Tharib et al (1982) was used Holes of 6 mm diameter were punched in a solidified Mueller-Hinton agar for bacteria or Sabouraud agar (Beckton Dickinson, CA) for yeast. The microorganism suspension was prepared to approximately 10 5 cfu/mL for bacteria and 10 4 cfu/mL for yeast.…”

The essential oils (EO) of Mentha suaveolens, a wild Labiatae, which grows in several regions in Morocco, were characterized and their antimicrobial activity assessed. The main aromatic constituents of this plant, as characterized by IR, NMR and MS studies, were pulegone, piperitenone oxide (PEO) and piperitone oxide (PO) occurring in different amounts depending on the subspecies. These constituents as well as a series of other aromatic products such as carvone, limonene and menthone, were tested for their antimicrobial activity against 19 bacteria including Gram-positive and Gram-negative and against three fungi, using solid phase and microtitration assays. Pulegone-rich essential oil inhibited efficiently all the micro-organisms tested with MICs ranging between 0.69 and 2.77 ppm. Among the components from Mentha suaveolens EO, pulegone was the most effective against the tested microorganisms, followed by PEO and PO. The structure-activity relationship is discussed on the basis of the activity of the other aromatic derivatives tested such as carvone, limonene, menthone and the profile of the essential oils of Mentha suaveolens was compared with other Mentha species.

Abstract:The aim of this study was the conversion of the ovine dermal proteins as a natural product that has an antimicrobial power which used for tissue repair and skin lesion. After dehairing, fleshings, deliming the animal tissues (ovine) and purification, the essential oils of Lavandula officinalis, Eucalyptus globules and Eugenia caryophyllata had been supplied and fixed. The product obtained is a spongy material communicating with open voids between the fibers. With a transparent light yellow color, it has a remarkable antibacterial power and a very strong inhibitory activity on all the bacterial strains tested whose average diameter of the inhibition zones exceeds 16 mm. It is also characterized by a smell which can be aromatic, pleasant and spicy or fresh and spicy depending on the essential oil used.
