Antimicrobial, antifungal and antiradical activities of the essential oils from the flower and leaf extracts of Iranian Ferulago macrocarpa plant

Butter fortified with spray‐dried encapsulated Ferulago angulata extract nanoemulsion and postbiotic metabolite of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum improves its physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties

“…Moreover, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of hydroalcoholic extract of F. angulate against the tested microorganisms as well as their higher activity compared with PMLP may be attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds such as β‐ocimene, terpinolene, thymol and α‐pinene (Azarbani et al . 2019). The possible antimicrobial mechanism is related to the ability of the bioactive compounds to cross the cell membrane and disturb its integrity.…”

“…To determine the antioxidant activity of samples, the DPPH method (1, 1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl) was used (Azarbani et al . 2019). About 0.2 mL of various concentrations of samples was added to 4 mL of methanol solution (60 μM) of DPPH and incubated in dark condition at room temperature to reduce DPPH as free radical.…”

“…To determine the antibacterial and antifungal activity, agar well diffusion was used (Azarbani et al . 2019). For this purpose, 500 μL of each microorganism suspension prepared from overnight cultures was spread on MHA for bacteria and on SDA for fungi.…”

“…It is widely distributed in the western part of Iran and the Mediterranean area (Salleh et al 2021). Many species of Ferulago exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anthelmintic, antifungal, antiviral agents and antidiabetic properties (Moghaddam et al 2018;Azarbani et al 2019). It is also used as a preservative in foods such as traditional oil, cheese and meat (Shahbazi et al 2015).…”
