“…Generally, the explanation of components of EO analysed by the GCMS is by peak area and it is explained in %. In particular, the major components of the EO of M. × piperita in different publications are menthol, menthone, menthofuran and menthyl acetate in the amounts of about 40, 30, 7 and 10%, respectively, of the whole amount of EO content [2,7,[27][28][29]. Another study conducted by Kamatou et al [18] on Mentha canadensi EO reported that the main components were identified as isomenthone (27.4%), menthol (24.3%), menthone (9.2%), limonene (5.8%), 1,8-cineole (5.6%), menthofuran (4.4%) and isomenthol (3.2%).…”

“…Many studies have highlighted the promising antibacterial and antifungal activity of peppermint EO against some human-and phytopathogens such as Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherchia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia [2,7,27]. On the other hand, the antimicrobial activity of peppermint EO might be correlated to its chemical composition due to the hydrophobic nature of those above-mentioned compounds, which allows them to interact with microbial membranes causing cell lysis, interrupting the proton's motor force, electron flow and transport activity, and inhibiting protein synthesis [30,31].…”

“…Many microorganisms cause different plant diseases in field and/or postharvest. Without proper treatments, they can cause losses or decrease the shelf life of fruits and vegetables [ 1 , 2 ]. Although synthetic pesticides efficiently control diseases, their application is restricted, particularly postharvest, because of consumer concern for human health conditions, the harmful effects on the environment and the development of new resistant strains [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

Several economically important crops, fruits and vegetables are susceptible to infection by pathogenic fungi and/or bacteria postharvest or in field. Recently, plant essential oils (EOs) extracted from different medicinal and officinal plants have had promising antimicrobial effects against phytopathogens. In the present study, the potential microbicide activity of Mentha × piperita cv. ‘Kristinka’ (peppermint) EO and its main constituents have been evaluated against some common phytopathogens. In addition, the cell membrane permeability of the tested fungi and the minimum fungicidal concentrations were measured. The antifungal activity was tested against the following postharvest fungi: Botrytis cinerea, Monilinia fructicola, Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus niger, whereas antibacterial activity was evaluated against Clavibacter michiganensis, Xanthomonas campestris, Pseudomonas savastanoi and P. syringae pv. phaseolicola. The chemical analysis has been carried out using GC-MS and the main components were identified as menthol (70.08%) and menthone (14.49%) followed by limonene (4.32%), menthyl acetate (3.76%) and β-caryophyllene (2.96%). The results show that the tested EO has promising antifungal activity against all tested fungi, whereas they demonstrated only a moderate antibacterial effect against some of the tested bacteria.

“…U istraživanju Soković et al (2009), 1% Tween rastvor etarskog ulja M. piperita (mentol 37,4%, mentil acetat 17,4% i menton 12,7%), testiran je u in vitro uslovima i na patogenu gljivu A. alternata i ispoljio je fungicidno delovanje (MFC 1,0-2,5 μL/mL), dok je u istraživanju França et al (2018) čisto etarsko ulje M. piperita neprikazanog hemijskog sastava, dodato u PDA podlogu (0,4% i 0,8%), ispoljilo inhibitornu aktivnost na porast micelije A. alternata (13,27% i 72,45%). Prema Perveen i Bokahri (2020), 0,5% Tween 20 rastvor ulja M. arvensis (mentol 69,2%), dodat u PDA podlogu u koncentraciji od 40 µL/mL, ispoljio je potpunu inhibiciju porasta micelije i klijanja konidija A. alternata, dok je u istraživanju Plavšić et al (2020), 0,1% Tween 80 rastvor etarskog ulja M. piperita iz Srbije (mentol 39,9%, menton 23,51%, mentil acetat 7,29%), ispoljio fungicidno delovanje na više fitopatogenih gljiva, uključujući A. alternata (MFC 1,7-454,5 μl/mL).

Seed health testing aims to ensure a healthy crop and to prevent the spread of plant diseases. The need to study and apply both essential oils and plant extracts against seed diseases is growing and becoming more important. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an annual herbaceous, aromatic, spicy and medicinal plant from the Apiaceae family, known for its seeds with a characteristic and pleasant odour. In human medicine, coriander is a part of various medicines for the treatment of digestive organs. Phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria are the most common and significant causes of coriander seed disease. The aim of this study was to assess coriander seed health and investigate the possibility of seed disinfection using peppermint (Mentha x piperita) essential oil. The health of the seeds was examined by the filter paper laboratory standard method. Different concentrations (1, 2, 5 and 10%) of peppermint essential oil were used for seed disinfection. The composition of the essential oil was determined by gas chromatographic analysis. The results of seed health analysis showed the presence of a fungus after seven days of incubation in a humid chamber at room temperature. The fungus was identified as Alternaria sp. (sect. Alternaria) based on the symptoms and macroscopic and microscopic features of the fungus (on seed and potato dextrose agar). Immersion treatment of infected seed in peppermint essential oil reduced the presence of Alternaria sp. on coriander seeds. The highest disease inhibition, 69,33%, namely 58,93% without the influence of the emulsifier, was shown by oil solution of 5%. Stagnation in inhibition was observed with a further increase in oil concentration. The results of this study show the possibility of disinfecting coriander seeds with peppermint essential oil to reduce infection with Alternaria sp.

“…One of the important compounds in herbal extracts is the phenolic compound that destroys they act disrupting the bacteria's cell wall, intervene sing with ATP pool and changeling its membrane potential leading to causing the bacterium's death [13]. The Antibacterial properties of the phenolic compounds are more e cient than those of the non-phenolic compounds because of the hydroxyl group, and aromatic rings [14]. Ordinarily, the water-ethanol (70%) solvent can have been extracted the maximum amount of the phenolic compounds [15].…”

The main complications of urinary catheters are the bacteria's biofilm formation and the urinary tract infection caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In the recent years, the attention has changed its direction toward the antimicrobial, anti-biofilmic, and hydrophobicity effects of herbal extracts. Some of these extracts can inhibit the colonization of the two bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli which are resistant to antibiotics. These bacteria can stick to the surface of polymer materials due to their hydrophobicity. Thus, antibacterial hydrophilic herbal extracts are supposed to help reduce the risk of the surficial infection if they are used to impregnate the urinary catheters. In this research, the extracts of these four plants eucalyptus, rosemary, green tea and ziziphora were used as the antibacterial agents. After the impregnation and modification of the sample catheters, they were tested by AFM, FE-SEM, ATR-FTIR methods to measure their mechanical, chemical, and hydrophilic properties, during the 21-day experiment period, compared to non-impregnated ones. The tests showed the silicone catheters impregnated by the herbal extracts have some significant anti-biofilmic and antibacterial properties (P˂0.0001) due to the increase in their hydrophilic property. The impregnated catheters could be release the extracts and killed bacteria in 21 days Therefore; some herbal extracts can be good alternatives to chemical drugs.
