“…Alkaloṏds were expressed as piperine equivalents (g PI/gFw) by comparing the absorbance values with a standard curve (0 Ð1 mg/ml of piperine). • Total phenolic compounds were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau colorimetric method (Singleton et al 1999, Heilerová et al 2003. The extracts (500 l) were oxidized by 2.5 ml of the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent at 0.2 N and the reaction was neu- tralized with 2 ml of sodium carbonate at 75 g/L.…”

Leaf-cutting ants, Acromyrmex octospinosus (Reich), are considering among the most important pest species of the New World. Until now, the main insecticides used for controlling these ants were synthetic chemicals. Leaf-cutting ants live in obligate symbiosis with abasidiomycete fungus, Leucocoprinus gongylophorus (Heim) Moeller. The crucial role of this symbiotic partner in the nest of leaf-cutting ants has prompted us to focus on A. octospinosus management through the use of fungicides in our study. Five parts of plants identified for their antifungal potential through TRAMIL ethnopharmacological surveys were tested: 1) bulbs of Allium cepa L.; 2) seed pods of Allium sativum L.; 3) green fruits of Lycopersicon esculentum L.; 4) leaves of Manihot esculenta Crantz; and 5) leaves of Senna alata (L.) Roxburgh. One plant extract with strong fungicidal activity (S. alata) against L. gongylophorus was found. The other extracts had lesser fungistatic or fungicidal effects depending on the concentrations used. The data presented in this study showed that TRAMILs fungicidal plant extracts have potential to control the symbiotic fungus of leaf cutting ants, in particular a foliage extract of S. alata.

“…Meat quality can be improved by incorporating natural herb and herb products (e.g., extracts, oils, leaves) based on the active ingredients with antioxidants in the animal diets. The most well-known herbs of the Labiatae family are Oregano (Cervato et al, 2000;Botsoglou et al, 2002) and lemon balm (Heilerová et al, 2003;Dastmalchi et al, 2008) are important sources of natural antioxidants. These herbs contains some chemical compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds that have already been successfully used to increase the oxidative stability of meats because of shelf-life and meat quality when supplemented in chicken diets (Lahucky et al, 2010).…”

This study was conducted to compare the meat quality and selected fatty acids profile of two different slow-growing broiler genotypes (Hubbard S757; S757 and Hubbard Grey Barred JA; GB-JA) fed diets supplemented with dry oregano (Origanum vulgare L., OV; 10 g/kg basal diets) or lemon balm leaves (Melissa officinalis L., MO; 10 g/kg basal diets) under organic housing system. It is concluded that slow-growing genotypes had no effect on L* parameter of the breast, thigh and abdominal fat meat quality. Two hundred and forty chicks were allocated randomly into 4 experimental groups according to a 2¥2 factorial arrangement. Birds were raised until 98 days in order to achieve an acceptable market live weight. The b* colours of breast and thigh meat were significant different among genotypes and also a* colour of breast meat of GB-JA increased (P<0.05). Slow-growing female broilers produced a higher dry matter content and lower fat content of breast meat as compared with males. There were the higher concentrations of linoleic (C18:2n-6) acid and the lower concentrations of linolenic acid (C18:3n-3) in genotypes fed with supplemented dry oregano or lemon balm leaves diet. Sex affected total unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) composition, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and linoleic acid, were higher in slow growing males breast meat as compared with females breast meat. These results suggested that the slow-growing genotypes might had influenced the colour of breast and thigh meat, although overall meat quality was not affected under the organic system.
