“…Furthermore, a significant amount of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (11.4%) were found at the flowering stage. Our results were in agreement with previous research where carvacrol, p-cymene, γ-terpinene and thymol were found as the marker volatiles of S. macrantha [14][15][16]. The thymol content was higher at the flowering stage compared to the other two stages.…”

“…There are no reports on the antibacterial activity of S. macrantha EOs depending on different phenological stages. The antibacterial activity of this plant has been previously tested on several strains such as E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and K. aerogenes, and MIC values were reported in the range of 31.25-125 µg/mL [15]. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the EOs from several Satureja species such as S. montana, S. subispicata and S. avromanica, was previously investigated on Brochothrix thermosphacta, E. coli, Listeria innocua, Pseudomonas putida, Salmonella typhimurium, B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. faecalis, S. epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, B. cereus, B. pumilus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans, reporting MIC values ranging from 0.78 to 6.25 µg/mL [26,48].…”

“…Thus, many investigations have been carried out on the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of the genus Satureja. Azaz et al (2005) [15] tested the antibacterial properties of S. hortensis L., S. cuneifolia Ten., S. thymbra L., S. aintabensis P.H. Davis and S. macrantha EOs on several bacterial and fungal strains, indicating significant antibacterial and antifungal potential.…”

Essential oils (EOs) from medicinal and aromatic plants are interesting products to be used as natural food preservatives. The EOs from the genus Satureja are reported to inhibit foodborne pathogens being worthy of use as food preservatives. Satureja macrantha is found in Western and Northwest Iran and commonly used as a food flavoring agent and for the treatment of urinary diseases. The objective of the present study was to identify the chemical composition of S. macrantha EOs at different growth stages (vegetative, flowering and fruiting stages) and to evaluate their biological activities. Chemical compositions were analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. The antibacterial activity was evaluated using the broth microdilution method against the foodborne pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC23922), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC29212) (Gram-positive), Enterobacter aerogenes (ATCC13046) and Escherichia coli. The antioxidant activity was estimated using the DPPH, ABTS and reducing power assays. The yields of S. macrantha EOs were in the range of 1.4–1.8%, thus scalable for the manufacture of food preservatives on an industrial level. The main compounds of EOs were carvacrol (42.7–48.2%), thymol (0.2–16.5%), p-cymene (10.1–14.7%) and γ-terpinene (7.9–9.1%) in all phenological stages examined. The strongest antibacterial activity (MICs = 5–20 µg/mL) of the EOs was recorded in samples obtained during the flowering stage where carvacrol (42.7%) and thymol (16.5) were present both at high percentages. On the other hand, the antioxidant activity was found to be slightly higher in the other stages. As the EO obtained at flowering showed the best inhibitory properties against foodborne pathogenic bacteria, it is suggested that plants at this stage can be selected as main sources of food preservative agents.

“…The whole plant, the essential oil and extracts are used in the traditional medicine for their digestive, carminative, aphrodisiac, bactericidal and fungicidal activities. Recently, several authors demonstrated the antimicrobial activity of Satureja montana essential oil or extracts (Azaz et al, 2002(Azaz et al, , 2005Bezbradica et al, 2005;Bezić et al, 2005;Ćavar et al, 2008;Cetojević-Simin et al, 2008;Silva et al, 2009) against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Cetković et al, 2007) as well as antidiarrhoeal (Skoćibušić and Bezić, 2003), antioxidant (Cetojević-Simin et al, 2004;Cetković et al, 2007), antiproliferative activities on human erythroleukemic K562 cells (Lampronti et al, 2006), on HeLa (cervix epithelioid carcinoma), HT-29 (colon adenocarcinoma) and MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines (Cetojević-Simin et al, 2004). In addition diuretic (Stanić and Samaržija, 1993), anticholinesterase (Silva et al, 2009) and anti-HIV-1 (Yamasaki et al, 1998) properties of Satureja montana were demonstrated.…”
