ABSTRACT Using of chemical preservatives in food may have harmful effects on human health and reduce food safety; Natural preservatives can be used to improve food safety. Echinophora Orientalis is one of the medicinal herbs that traditionally has been used as natural preservative. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial effect of E. orientalis essential oil (EO) against Staphylococcus aureus in a food model. In order to preparing E. orientalis EO, the aerial parts of the plant were collected from Binalud mountain in Nishapur, East of Iran. The EO was extracted using Clevenger and its chemical composition was determined by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Assessment of antibacterial activity of the EO was performed by inoculating the amount of 103 cfu/ml S. aureus into a certain amount of soup samples. Different concentrations of the EO (6.25, 12.5, 25 μg ml -1) added into the soup samples. The antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of the EO on S. aureus was examined in the commercial barley soup kept under fridge condition in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days after S. aureus inoculation. In total 43 components were identified in E. orientalis EO by GC-MS analysis, comprising 99.05% of the volatile oil, of which γ-decalactone (21.15%), β- cis-Ocimene (15.27%), Linalool L (8.82%), Spathulenol (7.74 %), Eugenol methyl ether (6.61%) were the major components. The EO showed strong antimicrobial activity against tested bacteria, so that no bacterial growth was observed in concentrations of 12.5 μg ml -1 and 25 μg ml -1 five days after bacterial inoculation, but bacterial growth was observed at concentrations of 6.25 μg ml -1. Average growth of bacteria in concentrations of 6.25, within five days counting were respectively 34 and 35 respectively 62.33±4.07, 42.66±3.02, 16±0.81, 1.33±0.65, 0 Cfu/ml (p<0.05). Evaluation of the sensory properties showed that concentration of 6.25 μg ml -1 of the EO was the most acceptable concentration. It was concluded that E. orientalis EO is a strong preservative and a flavoring agent in foods. Key words: Echinophora Orientalis, Essential oil, GC-MS, Staphylococcus aureus, Soup.

E. Tbacterial resistance to antibiotics and other orientalis is a common species in Iran.

Among ten branched with a height of 30 to 100 cm, white flowers species, four of them are found in Iran including E. integrated, since the flowering period is from June to July orientalis, E. sibthorpiana, E. cinerea and E. platyloba.

Accepted 28 May, 2010 Echinophora Platyloba DC. is one of the four native species of this plant in Iran. The aim of this five- step study was to investigate the antimicrobial properties of this plant. Dried aerial parts of the plant were extracted by ethanol 70% in percolator. The antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract was evaluated against dermatophytes, Candida (C) albicans and gram positive bacteria by agar dilution method and microbroth dilution assay. Finally, the synergistic effect of Amphotericin B plus 5% ethanolic extract against C. albicans was determined by measuring MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and MLC (minimum lethal concentration) values. Gram positive bacteria were resistant to the extract according to measurement of zones of inhibition; Trichophyton schenlaini and Trichophyton verucosum were sensitive to concentrations ≥ 35 mg/ml, while other dermatophytes showed various susceptibilities to extract. MIC value of 5% ethanolic extract was 2 mg/ml against C. albicans using broth micro dilution method. In synergism assay, there was a 50% reduction in MIC and a 75% reduction in MLC values of the mixture of Amphotericin B and 5% ethanolic extract against C.

The ecological scales for the species of Ukrainian flora and their use in synphytoindication. – Kyiv: Phytosociocentre, 2011. - 176 p. The amplitude scales of 3300 flora species of Ukraine are presented, reflecting species relation to 12 main climate and edaphic factors. The Tsyganov, Ramensky, Tsatsenkin, Ellenberg, Landolt, Zolyomi, Zarzycki, Frank et Klotz and other ecological scales’ comparisons are illustrated. The methods of synphytoindication are presented as an approach of ecological indices assessment based on phytosociological surveys taking into account indicator species presence and their occurrence in the community. The examples of practical applications of data using ordination and gradient analysis, the principal component method, ecological mapping, assessment of ecological factors changes in space (landscapes) and time (successions) are given. It is recommended for botanists and ecologists. Tabl. 7. Fig. 17. © Didukh Ya.P. Introduction Due to the immensity of the current anthropogenic impact, serious environmen- tal changes are occurring worldwide. Plants respond to these changes accordingly; first of all they disappear in some types of habitats and appear in other. That is why ecological research of flora is a very relevant and topical task. Studies of spe- cies ecology, estimation of species’ tolerance amplitude to the effects of different ecological factors, ways of adaptation, behavior and population renewal strategy, as well as the abilities to resist changes of ecological factors are closely related with problems of biodiversity conservation. Species organization and structure ensure functioning of the whole ecosystem pyramid, energy accumulation and transformation, circulation of substances, soil formation processes, existence of heterotrophic component, and evolution of ecosystems and their components.

However, research effort on alien species has been uneven so far and most countries of Accepted 23 July 2020 North Africa such as Algeria has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive inventory of KEYWORDS introduced, naturalized and invasive species. Thus, the present study was undertaken in order Algeria; alien flora; to improve our knowledge and to propose a first checklist of alien plants present in Algeria, introduced flora; invasive including invasive and potentially invasive plants. This work aims to make an inventory of all species; Mediterranean available data on the alien florapresent in Algeria, and to carry out preliminary quantitative and region; naturalized plants; qualitative analyses (number of taxa, taxonomic composition, life forms, geographical origins, plant traits; species list types of habitats colonized, degree of naturalization). The present review provides a global list of 211 vascular species of alien plants, belonging to 151 genera and 51 families. Most of them originated from North America (31.3%) and the Mediterranean Basin (19.4%). Nearly half (43%) of alien species are therophytes and most of them occur in highly disturbed biotopes (62%), such as arable fields (44.5%) or ruderal habitats, including rubble (17.5%).

Tarhana is a popular traditional Turkish cereal-based fermented food product mainly produced at home or at home-scale level. Some certain mould species can grow even at low moisture and pH values and produce aflatoxins in food. This study was conducted to determine aflatoksin levels in tarhana. For this purpose, a total of 138 tarhana powder samples were collected from bazaars in Istanbul and analyzed for aflatoxins, mould contamination, and some physco-chemical parameters. As a result, 32 out of 138 tarhana samples (23.2%) were found to be contaminated with aflatoxins in the range of 0.7–16.8 µg/kg, whereas 29 samples contained Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) ranging from 0.2–13.2 µg/kg.
