“…Liolios et al (2009) found that antimicrobial activities of carvacrol and thymol (main components of the Origanum dictamnus L. EO) improved after encapsulation in liposomes against selected micro-organism including E. coli. Similar results have also been reported about Citrus limon EO (Gortzi et al 2007), tea tree oil (Low et al 2013), Lavandin EO (Varona et al 2013) and Salvia oil (Cui et al 2016c).…”
Due to the enhancement of antimicrobial activity, nanoencapsulation of plant EOs and extracts may increase their commercial application not only in food area but also in the pharmaceutics, cosmetics and health products.

“…Significant antimutagenic activities have been observed for certain EOs and their components (De Flora et al, 1999;Dahanukar et al, 2000;Jeena et al, 2013;Varona et al, 2013). Matricaria chamomilla oil is shown to inhibit daunorubicine and methyl methane sulfonate induced mutagenic errors in mouse bone marrow cells (Hernandez-Ceruelos et al, 2002).…”
“…The resulting intense aroma of EOs should be overcome, because even at low concentrations these aromas can cause negative organoleptic effects when the threshold that is accep to consumers is exceeded. Different strategies can be used to solve this problem; for example, EOs and correspondent antimicrobial components are currently being incorporated as a part of edible biofilms through microencapsulation systems (polymers and surfactants), active modified atmosphere packaging and other storage materials to improve their bioavailability in food matrixes without the requirement for much extract. The use of these methods in combination with other technological approaches such as pulsed light, high pressure or magnetic fields could minimize the organoleptic impact, which would avoid excessive changes in the overall scent and taste of food …”
The study of active compound transference during cheese elaboration was achieved. The antimicrobial results in fortified cheeses with REO showed a preventive effect in the case of clostridial species, which are responsible for late cheese blowing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
