TL;DR: Probiotic microorganisms for the production of novel foods is discussed, while the benefits and criteria of using probiotic cultures are analyzed and immobilization/encapsulation applications in the food industry aiming at the prolongation of cell viability are described.

TL;DR: All essential oil preparations exhibited a variable degree of antiproliferative activity, depending on the cancer model used, with the most potent one being sweet basil against an in vitro model of human colon carcinoma.

TL;DR: C Citrus medica oil and limonene were shown to possess cancer-specific activity when tested against the skin melanoma A375 cells and normal skin cells (HaCat) and appeared to inhibit LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, Satureja Thymbra leaves were subjected to water-steam distillation to recover the essential oil (EO) and the water extract (Aq), and the solid byproduct was subjected to sequential Soxhlet extraction with ethyl acetate (EAc) and ethanol (EtOH).

TL;DR: Investigation of the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties of O. dictamnus essential oil revealed that it is a noteworthy growth inhibitor against the microbes studied and may represent an effective and inexpensive source of potent natural antimicrobial agents with health-promoting properties, which may be incorporated in food systems.
