Panagiota Florou-Paneri

TL;DR: Iron-induced lipid oxidation showed that as oregano oil increased in the diet, malondialdehyde values decreased in tissue samples, suggesting that the oil, particularly at 100 mg/kg of feed, exerted an antioxidant effect on chicken tissues.

TL;DR: These parameters correspond with the extent of bloody diarrhoea, survival rate, lesion score and oocyst numbers and indicated that oregano essential oil exerted an anticoccidial effect against E. tenella, which was, however, lower than that exhibited by lasalocid.

TL;DR: Production of carotenoids from algae has many advantages compared to other sources; for example, their production is cheap, easy and environmentally friendly; their extraction is easier, with higher yields, and there is no lack of raw materials or limited seasonal variation.

TL;DR: An overview of the literature surrounding the in vivo and in vitro use of aromatic plants is provided to provide an insight into their potential to become new generation substances for human and animal nutrition and health.

TL;DR: Microalgae are promising sources for novel products and applications and they can be used in the diet of humans and animals as natural foods with health benefits and can find use in the protection of the environment, as well as in pharmaceuticals, biofuel production and cosmetics.
