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.

ISSN 0273-2289 Any correspondence concerning this service should be sent to the repository administrator: [email protected] Electroanalysis may be used in the Vanillin Biotechnological Production William Giraud & Marie Mirabel & Maurice Comtat Abstract This study shows that electroanalysis may be used in vanillin biotechnological production. 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.

  • Eugenol—The Active Principle from Cloves Inhibits 5-Lipoxygenase Activity and Leukotriene-C4 in Human PMNL Cells

Raghavenraa, B.T. Diwakra, B.R. Lokeshb, K.A. Naidua,Ã aDepartment of Biochemistry and Nutrition, Central Food Technological Research Institute, Cheluvamba Mansion, Mysore, Karnataka 570 020, India bLipid Science and Traditional Foods, Mysore, Karnataka, India Received 30 June 2005; received in revised form 11 July 2005; accepted 11 August 2005 Abstract Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) play an important role in the modulation of inflammatory conditions in humans. PMNL cells recruited at the site of inflammation, release inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes, proteolytic enzymes and reactive oxygen species. Among these, leukotrienes are implicated in pathophysiology of allergic and inflammatory disorders like asthma, allergic rhinitis, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis. 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is the key enzyme in biosynthetic pathway of leukotrienes. Our earlier studies showed that spice phenolic active principles significantly inhibit 5-LO enzyme in human PMNLs. In this study we have further characterized the inhibitory mechanism of eugenol, the active principle of spice-clove on 5-LO enzyme and also its effect on leukotriene C4 (LTC4). Substrate dependent enzyme kinetics showed that the inhibitory effect of eugenol on 5-LO was of a non-competitive nature. Further, eugenol was found to significantly inhibit the formation of LTC4 in calcium ionophore A23187 and arachidonic acid (AA) stimulated PMNL cells. These data clearly suggest that eugenol inhibits 5-LO by non-competitive mechanism and also inhibits formation of LTC4 in human PMNL cells and thus may have beneficial role in modulating 5-LO pathway in human PMNL cells.

However, during the handling process, fish receive more stress if proper anesthetics are not used. Thus, application of appropriate anesthetics is an important tool for minimizing stress in animals. The objective of this study was to determine the effective concentra- tions of benzocaine, eugenol, and menthol for achieving anesthesia in Freshwater Angelfish Pterophyllum scalare and to develop induction and recovery response curves for different concentrations of these anesthetics. In total, 75 fish were exposed to five concentrations of the three anesthetics in a completely randomized design: benzocaine at 60, 85, 110, 135, and 160 mg/L; eugenol at 40, 80, 120, 160, and 200 mg/L; and menthol at 50, 75, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L. Each concentration (5 fish/concentration) consisted of five replicates, with each replicate represented by a single fish.

    The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products Veterinary Medicines Evaluation Unit EMEA/MRL/406/98-FINAL May 1998 COMMITTEE FOR VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCTS CARYOPHYLLI AETHEROLEUM SUMMARY REPORT 1. Caryophylli aetheroleum is the volatile oil of the flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry (synonym: cloves), which contain 15 to 18% of the oil. The oil contains: eugenol (80 to 90%), eugenyl acetate (2 to 27%), ß-caryophyllene (5 to 12%), methyl salicylate, methyl eugenol, benzaldehyde, methyl amyl keton and a-ylangene. 2. Caryophylli aetheroleum is contained in two veterinary medicinal combination products containing 9 and 6 other active ingredients, respectively. The concentration of Caryophylli aetheroleum in the first product is 0.008%. It is administered as a nose-spray to newborn of all food producing species as a respiratory stimulant.
