“…The similar MIC and MBC values obtained by natural compounds have been described to inhibit the microbial growth and eliminate 99.9% of the microorganisms [68]. In particular, the antimicrobial activity of OEO has been related to its high content in carvacrol and thymol [15]. Further details about the antimicrobial properties of OEO can be found in our previous research works [5,57].…”

“…Bacteria were recovered with PBS, 10-fold serially diluted, and incubated for 24 h at 37 • C to quantify the number of viable bacteria by a conventional plate count. The antimicrobial activity reduction (R) was evaluated from 1 (initial day), 8,15,22,30,40, and 48 days using Equation (4).…”

“…It comes from the genus Origanum that belongs to the Lamiaceae family [13], which is constituted by more than 38 monoterpenoids [14]. Their main active compounds are carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene, and γ-terpinene, which are responsible for its high antimicrobial and antioxidant activities [15,16]. These active compounds have been particularly related to the inhibition of G− bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) and G+ bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes), and Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (A. acidoterrestris) [12,15,[17][18][19].…”

Some other studies have also demonstrated the high antioxidant activity of OEO, which ranges from 80% to 90% inhibition of free radicals of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2 -azino-bis-(-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) [12,20,21] due to the presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH) in its chemical structure [22].Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an inorganic material, which can have up to three crystal structures including hexagonal wurtzite, cubic zinc-blende structure, and a rarely-observed cubic rock-salt (NaCl-type) [23].…”

This research reports about the development by electrospinning of fiber-based films made of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) derived from fermented fruit waste, so-called bio-papers, with enhanced antimicrobial performance. To this end, different combinations of oregano essential oil (OEO) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were added to PHBV solutions and electrospun into mats that were, thereafter, converted into homogeneous and continuous films of 130 µm. The morphology, optical, thermal, mechanical properties, crystallinity, and migration into food simulants of the resultant PHBV-based bio-papers were evaluated and their antimicrobial properties were assessed against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) in both open and closed systems. It was observed that the antimicrobial activity decreased after 15 days due to the release of the volatile compounds, whereas the bio-papers filled with ZnONPs showed high antimicrobial activity for up to 48 days. The electrospun PHBV biopapers containing 2.5 wt% OEO + 2.25 wt% ZnONPs successfully provided the most optimal activity for short and long periods against both bacteria. Nanomaterials 2020, 10, 506 2 of 26 studied, including the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB or P3HB) homopolyester and its copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV). The latter shows lower crystallinity and melting point as well as greater flexibility, which broadens its industrial applicability [4,5]. In order to confer active properties to PHAs, several substances can be incorporated into the biopolymers such as essential oils (EOs) and inorganic or metal nanoparticles (MNPs) [6,7].EOs are the product of the secondary metabolism of plants, separated from the aqueous phase, which is formed by various volatile components such as terpenes, alcohols, acids, esters, epoxies, aldehydes, ketones, amines, and sulphides, among others [8]. This wide range of compounds are responsible for the strong biological activity and also the antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties of plants [9]. In addition, EOs are biologically safe and have a low risk of causing resistance in pathogens [10]. In addition, they are classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [11]. Among them, oregano essential oil (OEO) is one of the most important and it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries [12]. It comes from the genus Origanum that belongs to the Lamiaceae family [13], which is constituted by more than 38 monoterpenoids [14]. Their main active compounds are carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene, and γ-terpinene, which are responsible for its high antimicrobial and antioxidant activities [15,16].

“…Based on these first results authors declare that future studies are needed to determine whether the application of these EOs as a nasal spray can mitigate BRPs, as alternatives to antibiotics. Antimicrobial activity of Lippia berlandieri and T. vulgaris EOs in gaseous phase was studied also by Palou and collaborators with promising results suggesting a potential use also to protect packed food against the growth of microorganisms.…”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.
