Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial agents from plants: antibacterial activity of plant volatile oils.
H. J. D. Dorman,Stanley G. Deans +1 more
TL;DR: The volatile oils of black pepper, clove, and thyme exhibited considerable inhibitory effects against all the organisms under test while their major components demonstrated various degrees of growth inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of some commercial essential oils
M. Tiziana Baratta,H. J. Damien Dorman,Stanley G. Deans,A. Cristina Figueiredo,José G. Barroso,Giuseppe Ruberto +5 more
TL;DR: The essential oil composition of Cananga odorata, Boswellia thurifera, Cymbopogon citratus, Marjorana hortensis, Ocimum basilicum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Citrus limon was analyzed by GC and GC-MS, and their antimicrobial and antioxidant activity tested as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactivity of selected plant essential oils against listeria monocytogenes
M. Lis-Balchin,Stanley G. Deans +1 more
TL;DR: Strong anti‐Listeria activity was often correlated with essential oils containing a high percentage of monoterpenes, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, thymol, and sometimes with citronellol, limonene and geraniol, but there was also a difference in activity between different samples of the same essential oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Composition, Antimicrobial and Antioxidative Activity of Laurel, Sage, Rosemary, Oregano and Coriander Essential Oils
TL;DR: The essential oils obtained from five commercial samples of Sicilian aromatic plants, laurel, sage, oregano, rosemary and coriander were analyzed by GC/MS and assayed for their antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between bioactivity and chemical composition of commercial essential oils
TL;DR: In this article, the biological activities of 105 commercial essential oils were investigated against 25 species of bacteria, 20 strains of Listeria monocytogenes, and three filamentous fungi; their antioxidant action was also determined.
