“…The antimicrobial activity of limonene-3-oxo-ketones and their epoxides, together with the mint oils characterized by them are rather frequently studied in some cases due to their potential preservative properties. Studies on pulegone, piperitenone, piperitone and epoxides isolated from Mentha (Oumzil et al 2002) or Satureja species (Tolossa et al 2007) show that pulegone possesses strong antimicrobial activity. However, as the use of pulegone is limited, its direct utilisation in the food industry does not have much potential.…”

Horsemint (Mentha longifolia L), is wild-growing species, widespread in Eurasia and Africa. The review focuses on its potential utilization as a preservative and flavoring in the food industry based on the polyphenolic and terpenoid composition. Several phenolic antioxidants were detected in horsemint, among which rosmarinic acid may have a key role. Nineteen other acids, and fifty-five flavonoids (six which are de novo) were also identified. The antiradical efficacy in horsemint extract has not yet been adequately justified. Similarly, systematic screening of the flavonoid composition of the species is lacking. Horsemint essential oils possesses an outstandingly wide variability in composition which may serve as basis of special flavoring or antimicrobial agents. The efficacy of horsemint volatiles have been demonstrated against more than twenty microbes. As current literature of horsemint lacks comparable results, the present review provides the broadest and therefore, a critical overview, on its most important secondary compounds and the factors influencing their accumulation.

“…In the report of Tolossa et al (15), the γ-terpinene, thymol, p-cymene, carvacrol, pulegone, isomenthone, and piperitone oxide were respectively shown as the major constituents of Satureja thymbra, P. abrotanoides, T. carmanicus, A. sieberi, and F. gummosa which grow in wild mountainous regions and have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities against fungi and tested bacteria, respectively (1,15).…”

“…The culture plates were then incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was defined as the lowest concentration at which no visible growth was observed (15). The Mueller-Hinton agar containing DMSO without plant extract was used as negative control while gentamycine was used as positive control.…”

Background and Objective: Glycyrrhizaglabra L. is one of the most widely used medicinal herbs in Golestan province that is known for its anti-inflammatory, carminative, antiviral, anti-infection and anti-ulcer properties in Iranian traditional medicine. This study aimed to assess the anti-bacterial and anti-oxidative activity of G. glabrafrom the Golestan province.Methods: The rip root of the plant was collected in autumn 2013. The ethanolic extract of the plant was prepared by maceration method. The anti-oxidative property of the plant was assessed by total antioxidant capacity (TAC), reducing power (RP) and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity assays. The anti-bacterial activity was assessed using agar-well diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay.Results: The ethanolic extract of G. glabrahad relatively high anti-oxidative activity with IC50 value of 130 µg/ml, especially in the DPPH method. The extract also exhibited high anti-bacterial activity against the following Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (21.1±0.7 mm), Staphylococcus epidermidis (19.6±0.2 mm), Bacillus subtilus (19.3±0.6 mm), followed by Escherichia coli (12.1±0.8 mm), Enterococcus faecalis (13.2±0.1 mm) and Kelebsiellapneumoniae (11.5±0.4 mm) with MIC values in the range of 31 -132 mg. mL -1 .Conclusion: According to results, the root extract of G.glabrais a good source of antioxidant compounds with suitable anti-bacterial activity, which can be used as natural anti-infection and anti-inflammatory agent for treatment of many diseases.
