“…Terpinen-4-ol was identified as the major compound by chromatographic analysis of EOO, corroborating previous studies that identified this terpenoid in similar percentages (Vági et al, 2005). Chromatographic analysis of the EOC identified linalool as its major constituent, diverging from prior reports which described its occurrence in a much lower percentage (Fracaro et al, 2002;Echeverrigaray et al, 2003).…”

This study evaluated anesthetic efficacy and possible effects of the essential oils (EOs) of Cunila galioides (EOC) and Origanum majorana (EOO) on ventilatory rate (VR) and ionoregulation in Rhamdia quelen. In the anesthesia assessments, 50, 100, 200 and 300 μL L -1 EOC and 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 μL L -1 EOO were tested, and time for induction to sedation and anesthesia stages, as well as recovery, were taken. A second trial employed lower concentrations of both EOs, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μL L . There was no significant difference between control and EO-treated groups regarding VR, but all fish subjected to 100 µL L -1 EOC died within 2 h of exposure. Overall, ionic loss declined in the presence of the EOs. The EOC at 200 -300 μL L -1 and EOO at 400 -500 μL L -1 present the potential to promote fast anesthesia in R. quelen.

“…Earlier studies of in vitro antimicrobial activity reported in the literature have found terpinen-4-ol as the main component of O. majorana essential oil (Ezzeddine et al, 2001;Vági et al, 2005;Busatta et al, 2008). Main compounds of O. vulgare essential oil have been identified as carvacrol and thymol Barros et al, 2009).…”

“…Although several studies have been conducted regarding in vitro antibacterial and antifungal properties of plant essential oils and extracts (4,32), just a few studies on the activity of essential oils in food systems have been reported in the literature (15). It is well known that the antimicrobial potency of essential oils in food systems is generally reduced when compared to in vitro work, as the presence of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, salts and pH strongly influence the effectiveness of these agents (4).…”

This work reports antimicrobial activity of oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil against several bacteria in sausage. The in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 9 selected aerobic heterotrofic bacteria. The antimicrobial activity of distinct concentrations of the essential oil on the basis of the highest MIC found was tested in a food system comprised of fresh sausage. Batch food samples were also inoculated with Escherichia coli with a fixed concentration and the time course of the product was evaluated with respect to the action of the different concentrations of essential oil. Sensory analysis were conducted, and results showed that the addition of oregano essential oil to sausage may be a promising route as bacteriostatic effect was verified for oil concentrations lower than the MIC.
