This study describes the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Laurus nobilis L. Myrtus communis essential oils (EOs). is first report synergistic effect these EOs in combination with physical food preservation treatments.EOs obtained by steam distillation from aerial parts were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The main compounds 1,8-cineole 2-carene (L. EO); myrtenyl acetate, α-pinene (M. EO). EO showed higher than M. three complementary tests. Although tests...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The present study reports on the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) Thymus algeriensis, Eucalyptus globulus Rosmarinus officinalis from Morocco. RESULTS: these species was analysed by GC‐MS, 65 components were identified. EO showed a great similarity with EOs other regions, 1,8‐cineole (79.85%) major component. Also rich in this constituent (43.99%). However, profile algeriensis rather different, for first time such high content...
AbstractIn this study, the chemical compositions of essential oils obtained from three plants, namely Salvia officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, and Mentha pulegium, along with their insecticidal activities feeding deterrence against Plodia interpunctella, were investigated. The composition S. officinalis oil was majorly dominated by α-thujone (26.99%) camphor (25.50%); on other hand, limonene (66.12%), eucalyptol (14.31%) major compounds L. angustifolia whereas for M. pulegium EO a...
Extending shelf life during storage and distribution has always represented a significant challenge in the value chain of strawberries other perishable fruits. Thus, combined effect two Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) techniques pectin-based coating with Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil (CEO) was investigated on preservation 'Palmaritas' variety. Strawberries were exposed to four treatments 12 days storage: Normal without (control), normal (NEC), modified 2.5% O2 + 15% CO2 82.5% N2,...
The effect of gelatin-based edible coating incorporated with Mentha pulegium essential oil (MEO) on physicochemical (pH, titratable acidity (TA), weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), and phenolic content (TPC)), microbiological (total aerobic mesophilic flora (TAMF) yeasts moulds (YM)), sensorial (color firmness) characteristics strawberries stored under refrigeration was studied. Strawberries were coated gelatin alone (4%) and/or combined two concentrations (0.5 1%) MEO at 4°C for 13...
Plastic packaging has been widely criticized due to the environmental pollution it entails. Biopolymer-based films could provide an interesting eco-friendly alternative. This study aimed investigate effect of plasticizer type on physicochemical and mechanical properties gelatin, pectin, starch, gelatin/pectin, gelatin/starch, starch/pectin-based films. Films were prepared using casting method. Among six types studied, gelatin/pectin-based film plasticized with sorbitol displayed best...
Flies and cockroaches are two insects in close contact with human beings. They carriers of pathogenic bacteria on the external areas their bodies or digestive tracts. This study examines Periplaneta americana Musca domestica collected from residential six districts Tangier, Morocco.In total, 251 were isolated participants' antimicrobial susceptibility was calculated.The predominant bacterial species included Escherichia coli (17.9%), Klebsiella spp. (14.7%), Providencia (9.6%),...
Background: Citrullus colocynthis L. (C. colocynthis) is commonly known as colocynth. It belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae that frequently used in alternative medicine north of Africa. The aim study: present research was undertaken investigate chemical composition, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and antibacterial potentials C. seed extract. Material methods: composition organic extract characterized using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). antioxidant property carried out both...
The use of essential oils has emerged as an ecofriendly solution for controlling different pests, particularly insects stored products. Essential (EOs) from Thymus capitatus (TC) and Origanum compactum (OC) have received less attention these bioactivities. Therefore, our study aimed to the repellent, antifeedant contact toxicity their EOs against a major product pest Tribolium castaneum. Besides, GC-MS was also carried out determine compounds responsible observed Regarding toxicity, LC50...
<title>Abstract</title> An on-field survey was conducted to assess the physiological and symbiotic response of <italic>Sulla pallida</italic> in an abandoned mining site Northeast Morocco. Results indicated that <italic>S. maintained high nodulation nitrogen efficiency even at late growth stages while accumulating significant levels Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu its aerial parts. Phenol content varied significantly (p<0.05) by phenological stage plant part, with a concentration total extractable...
This is a three-year retro-prospective study aimed at assessing the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and to retrospective determining analyzing characteristics OXA-48 producers. Six thousand one hundred eighteen bacteriological samples were assessed Mohamed V Regional Hospital microbiology laboratory in Tangier, Morocco. Of 1,228 identified Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli was most isolated bacteria (68%). Fifty-eight resistant carbapenem (4.7%). Klebsiella...
We have carried out our study on the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Thymus vulgaris Origanum compactum essential oils that were harvested in northeast Morocco. Carvacrol was major component two investigated oils. A high has been shown all tested bacterial strains. The effect incorporation these at concentrations 0.05% 0.1% physicochemical, microbiological sensorial characteristics goat fresh cheese stored 8°C also studied. No significant differences showed between control...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an ubiquitous bacterium causes various community-acquired and nosocomial infections. In this investigation, we aimed to screen the antibiotic susceptibility patterns prevalence of virulence factor genes in a set isolated from infections Northwestern Morocco.A total 155 strains were collected (January 2015 - December 2016) at hospital centers clinical laboratories Morocco. Antimicrobial test was performed by standard disk diffusion method. addition, PCR assays used...
Abstract Fish gelatin‐pectin (Gel Ext /Pec) composite films incorporated with Mentha pulegium essential oil (MEO) and Lavandula angustifolia (LEO) at two concentrations (0.5% 1.5%) were developed their physicochemical, mechanical, antimicrobial properties determined. Gel /Pec‐based film 1.5% MEO /Pec + MEO) showed the highest activity against all bacterial strains tested. Incorporation of oils decreased significantly tensile strength investigated. The showing best functional ext was used to...
