The comparative study of Xylopia aethiopica and Aframomum melegueta powder in respect to their phytochemical and insecticidal properties against C. maculatus was carried out using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments (0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5g/20g cowpea seeds corresponding to 0.0, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1 and 0.13% v/w) replicated thrice under ambient laboratory condition (28±2°C temperature and 75±5% relative humidity). The phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, cardiac glycoside in both plants, while alkaloids was present in A. melegueta and absent in X. aethiopica. The mortality of C. maculatus increased gradually with exposure time and dosage of the plant powders.

Received: 14 May 2020; Accepted: 5 June 2020; Published: 6 June 2020 Abstract: Bacterial biofilms contribute to problems with preserving food hygiene, jeopardizing any conventional intervention method used by the food industry. Hence, the approach of using essential oil (EO) compounds effective in biofilm control has considerable merit and deserves in-depth research. In this study, the effect of selected EO compounds (eugenol, trans-cinnamaldehyde, citronellol, and terpineol) was assessed on Escherichia coli biofilm control by plate count, resazurin assay, and Syto® 9/PI (-/propidium iodide) staining coupled with flow cytometry (FCM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The selected EO compounds effectively inhibited the growth of planktonic E. coli at low concentrations of 3–5 mM, revealing a high antimicrobial activity. EO compounds markedly interfered with biofilms too, with trans-cinnamaldehyde causing the most prominent effects. Its antibiofilm activity was manifested by a high reduction of cell metabolic activity (>60%) and almost complete reduction in biofilm cell culturability.

  • FAMILY PHYSICIAN with Essential Oils “I Finally Figured out How to Use Essential Oils—TAKE OFF the CAP”
    FAMILY PHYSICIAN With Essential Oils “I finally figured out how to use essential oils—TAKE OFF THE CAP” You can use all of the oils 3 ways; Topically, Internally (drip into an empty gel cap) and with the diffuser. If the bottle has a ‘supplement’ box on the label, you can feel completely safe using it internally. When diluting* the essential oils, use one drop of Coconut Oil for one or two drops of the essential oil. It is not necessary to dilute the essential oils, but for some essential oils which are particularly cool (Peppermint, Wintergreen) or hot (Oregano, Cinnamon, Clove, Cassia), it may not be comfortable on your skin without diluting, and may be particularly uncomfortable for a child. If you use an oil without diluting and it is uncomfortable to the recipient, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil and it will quickly resolve the problem. Also, if you are using the oils on an open sore or wound, it is always a good idea to dilute with coconut oil. Diffusion is powerful because the child can breathe it in and it kills microorganisms in the air which helps stop the spread of sickness. If the oils get in the eyes, it will sting but will not do damage. Simply rub a few drops of your diluter oil on the eye and it will help to relieve the suffering. You can combine and mix any of the oils as much as you like and the oils are safe with any medication. If you are not sure how to apply the oil, know that you can ALWAYS rub it on the bottoms of the feet and you will get the full affect.

Circuito Universitario, Campus Universitario México Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the antifungal activity of microcapsules of essential oil of clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) and Mexican oregano (Lippia berlandieri) against Fusarium oxysporum. Different essential oil to β-cyclodextrin weight ratios were tested, (4:96, 8:92, 12:88 and 16:84 w/w) and encapsulation efficiency same as rate, were determined. GC-MS and GC-FID analysis were also performed to determine. The main oil constituents, which were eugenol and carvacrol in clove and Mexican oregano essential oils respectively and to quantify their ratio in microcapsules. The oxford cup method was used to determine the antifungal inhibitory activity of essentials oils and microcapsules of essential oils. The results showed that the 4:96 ratio (clove essential oil:β-cyclodextrin) gave the highest Eugenol content and the greatest microencapsulation efficiency; and the 8:92 and 12:88 ratios (Mexican oregano essential oil: β-cyclodextrin) gave the highest carvacrol content.

Combines well with chili, cloves, coriander, garlic, ginger, mace, mustard, pepper, rosemary and thyme. AAnisenise The aroma and taste of the seeds are sweet, licorice like, warm, and fruity, but Indian anise can have the same fragrant, sweet, licorice notes, with mild peppery undertones. The seeds are more subtly fl avored than fennel or star anise. Good with apples, chestnuts, fi gs, fi sh and seafood, nuts, pumpkin and root vegetables. Combines well with allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, fennel, garlic, nutmeg, pepper and star anise. BBasilasil Sweet basil has a complex sweet, spicy aroma with notes of clove and anise.

As a matter of fact, vanillin and some molecules implicated in the process like eugenol, ferulic acid, and vanillic acid may be oxidized on electrodes made of different materials (gold, platinum, glassy carbon). By a judicious choice of the electrochemical method and the experimental conditions the current intensity is directly proportional to the molecule concentrations in a range suitable for the biotechnological process. So, it is possible to imagine some analytical strategies to control some steps in the vanillin biotechnological production: by sampling in the batch reactor during the process, it is possible to determine out of line the concentration of vanillin, eugenol, ferulic acid, and vanillic acid with a gold rotating disk electrode, and low concentration of vanillin with addition of hydrazine at an amalgamated electrode.
