“…Neilreichii [22] have been reported. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of caryophyllene oxide have been revealed previously [23], while 1,8-cineole and camphor are also known to possess some antimicrobial activities [20,21]. Thus, the antibacterial properties of the essential oils A. taygetea and A. frasii are probably connected with their high content of 1,8-cineol and camphor.…”

“…It should be pointed out that A. latiloba plant samples were more dissolved in The dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethyl acetate A. latiloba plant samples were not fully soluble in methanol and ethanol. Currently, these genus were extensively studied [20][21][22]. Except from essential oils, the constituents of Achillea are mainly sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, and phenolic acids.…”

S u m m a r yIn this study the antibacterial and antifungal activities of extracted Achillea latiloba Ledeb. ex Nordm (Asteraceae) samples in acetone, ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) from Trabzon Province (Turkey) were investigated. Antimicrobial activity of A. latiloba varied depending on the extract of samples, dosage of extracts, and the extraction solvents for all test microorganisms. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus salivarius, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus licheniformis, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtillis, Proteus vulgaris andCandida albicans were studied with use of disc diffusion and agar dilution method. The results indicated that each of the crude extracts of Achillea latiloba exhibited a more or less pronounced antibacterial and antifungal potency both in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. While in the Gram-negative group, the most sensitive microorganism to Achillea latiloba were S. enteritidis and Streptococcus mutans which is Gram-positive. In the Gram-positive group, the microorganisms most sensitive to Achillea latiloba were Streptococcus mutans and L. monocytogenes. However, the least sensitive microorganism was P. vulgaris. The results presented in this paper suggest that Achillea latiloba possesses additional antimicrobial activities that has an effect against some Gram-negative, Grampositive bacteria and fungi.

“…A renewed interest in natural preservation appears to be stimulated by present food safety concerns, growing problems with microbial resistance, and a rise in production of minimally processed food, together with green image policies of food industries. Abundant reports have documented the antifungal effects (Aligiannis et al, 2001; Thompson, 1989) of plant essential oils. The cellular effects of aflatoxins may regulate by natural products and evidence suggests that aromatic organic compounds of spices can control the production of aflatoxins (Chatterjee, 1990).…”

The potential effect of clove, cinnamon, mustard, peppermint, eucalyptus, citronella, camphor, rose, lemon and lemon grass essential oils against fungi identified from Areca palm leaves and Palmyra palm leaf sheath were investigated. The fungi were identified by 18s rRNA sequencing method. An agar dilution method was employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of essential oils. Zone inhibition tests and the inhibitory effect of the leaf and sheath dip treated and vapour treated with essential oils against those fungi were examined. With an MIC of 0.02 µl ml -1 mustard essential oil had the strongest inhibitory effect. The efficacy of mustard oil vapour on the molds inhibition was relatively higher when compared to the liquid phase. It is also comparatively more potential than chemical fungicides.

An experiment was carried out to examine the effect of dietary supplementation with Olympus tea (Sideritis scardica) on the performance of broiler chickens challenged with 6 × 10 4 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella at 14 days of age. A total of 150 day-old Cobb-500 chickens were separated into 5 equal groups with three subgroups each. Two of the groups, one challenged with E. tenella and the other not, were given the basal diet and served as controls, two challenged groups were administered diets supplemented with ground dried plants of Olympus tea at levels of 5 and 10 g/kg of diet, and the remaining challenged group a diet supplemented with the coccidiostat lasalocid. During the experimental period that lasted 35 days, body weight and feed intake were weekly recorded, and feed conversion ratio were calculated. Following the E. tenella challenge on day 14 of age, mortality, caecal lesion score, bloody diarrhoea and oocyst excretion were examined in all groups from day 17 to day 26 of age. Results showed that mean body weight gain of the Olympus tea groups, although higher (P<0.05) than the challenged control group, were lower (P<0.05) compared to the non-challenged control and lasalocid groups. Feed conversion ratio of the challenged control group was the highest (P<0.05) among all groups. Data on the extent of bloody diarrhoea, mortality, caecal lesion score and oocyst output suggested that treatment with Olympus tea at the supplementation level of 10 g/kg diet in particular, could alleviate the impact of parasite infection on the bird by exerting a coccidiostatic effect against E. tenella which, however, was considerably lower than that exhibited by lasalocid.
