“…Eugenol is very reactive to environmental factors such as oxygen, light, and heat; therefore, it tends to degrade easily during storage despite the use of new extraction methods. This degradation may reduce antimicrobial activity in food model systems and may negatively affect the sensory properties of foods (Gürbüz & Omurtag‐Korkmaz, 2022). Previous studies have shown that the bioactive compounds of essential oils in chicken meat exhibit weaker antimicrobial activity after storage for 3 days or higher than 4°C (Osaili et al, 2021; Shekarforoush et al, 2007).…”

“…The temperature needed for optimal growth is generally 37 C, whereas it is 42 C for thermophilic Campylobacter spp., owing to their adaptation to the avian gastrointestinal tract. Its genome with high mutation capability enables it to easily adapt to new hosts' gastrointestinal tracts, thereby increasing infection prevalence (Gürbüz & Omurtag-Korkmaz, 2022). Among thermophilic species, Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are responsible for approximately 80%-90% of human infections (European Food Safety Authority & European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, 2022).…”

“…Poultry is among the highest‐growing livestock industries because of its rapid production, advanced feed technologies, and minimal land use. Under these circumstances, the per capita consumption of poultry meat has soared progressively since 1960 and is expected to grow until 2030 (Gürbüz & Omurtag‐Korkmaz, 2022). However, modern poultry slaughtering is performed using automated equipment, which poses a challenge for preventing bacterial contamination at the slaughter line (Tang et al, 2020).…”

Campylobacter jejuni is the predominant bacterial cause of gastroenteritis, the main cause of foodborne deaths. Currently, Campylobacter is a common foodborne pathogen found in poultry; thus, there is a need for the development of novel intervention strategies. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of eugenol on C. jejuni load in an experimental chicken meat model. We observed that eugenol was effective in reducing C. jejuni load for 7 days of storage. Eugenol treatment at all concentrations (1.28, 5.12, and 10.24 mg mL−1) decreased Campylobacter load more significantly in the reference strain, and this decrease was dose‐dependent throughout the storage period. Compared to the control group, eugenol reduced the counts of chicken isolate and the reference strain of C. jejuni by approximately 1.5 and 4.5 log/CFU, respectively, after 7 days of storage. Eugenol is a promising agent for improving the safety of poultry.

“…The phytochemicals present in clove bud oil are responsible for antimicrobial activity. Eugenol is one of the phytoconstituents that might have significantly contributed to the antimicrobial effects [ 43 ]. Eugenol is a primary constituent of clove but it is also found in cinnamon, pepper, and Ocimum sanctum [ 44 ].…”

Antibacterial Activity of Syzygium aromaticum (Clove) Bud Oil and Its Interaction with Imipenem in Controlling Wound Infections in Rats Caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

et al. 2022

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of infection worldwide. Clove oil’s ability to inhibit the growth of MRSA was studied through in vitro and in vivo studies. The phytochemical components of clove oil were determined through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The antibacterial effects of clove oil and its interaction with imipenem were determined by studying MIC, MBC, and FIC indices in vitro. The in vivo wound-healing effect of the clove oil and infection control were determined using excision wound model rats. The GC-MS analysis of clove oil revealed the presence of 16 volatile compounds. Clove oil showed a good antibacterial effect in vitro but no interaction was observed with imipenem. Clove bud oil alone or in combination with imipenem healed wounds faster and reduced the microbial load in wounds. The findings of this study confirmed the antibacterial activity of clove oil in vitro and in vivo and demonstrated its interaction with imipenem.

“…Among several phytochemicals, eugenol and methyl eugenol are regularly reported as the prominent volatile organic compounds (VOCs) accumulated in holy basil (Tangpao et al, 2018;Chutimanukul et al, 2022b;Wongpraneekul et al, 2022), and which vary according to cultivar (Kothari et al, 2004;Renu et al, 2014;Piras et al, 2018). Eugenol is well known for its diverse applications such as antiseptic and antibacterial agent, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, cough, phlegm, chest congestion, diarrhea and used in for foods and teas (Gürbüz and Korkmaz, 2022;Sharma et al, 2022). Methyl eugenol is produced from eugenol by methylation in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and can be found naturally in many in many types of plants (Lewinsohn et al, 2000).…”

Physiological responses and variation in secondary metabolite content among Thai holy basil cultivars (Ocimum tenuiflorum L.) grown under controlled environmental conditions in a plant factory

et al. 2022

Holy basil (Ocimum Tenuiflorum L.) is a widely used herb containing several bioactive compounds of interest for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Plant factories using artificial lighting (PFAL) is a modern agricultural system that offers opportunity to improve crop production and stabilizes productivity in many herbal plants. However, little is known about the variation among holy basil varieties that can be cultivated and provide reasonable biomass and bioactive compounds in PFAL. We therefore evaluated 10 Thai accessions and two commercial cultivars in a PFAL (with hydroponic cultivation) to categorize cultivar characteristics by investigating physiological responses and secondary metabolite variation at plant flowering stage. Among Thai varieties, net photosynthetic rate (Pn) was significantly highest in varieties OC059 and OC081. The greatest growth and biomass measures were observed in OC064. Antioxidant capacity also varied, with the greatest accumulation of total phenolic compounds (TPC), flavonoids, and antioxidant activity by DPPH assay in OC064, and highest terpenoid content in OC194. The accumulation of major compounds confirmed by showing the highest levels of eugenol in OC057, OC063, OC194, and OC195 and methyl eugenol in OC072 and OC081. The highest α-humulene content was found in OC059. PCA based on physiological responses and secondary metabolites indicate that OC064 was clearly distinguished from other cultivars/accessions. These findings demonstrate variation across holy basil accessions for physiologic responses, antioxidant capacity, and secondary compounds in PFAL. These insights lead to identification of suitable varieties which is the most important step of developing an efficient method for producing high quality raw materials of Thai holy basil for supplying the foods and pharmaceutical industries.
