Plant volatile compounds: sensory cues for health and nutritional value?
Stephen A. Goff,Harry J. Klee +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence supporting a relation between volatile perception and nutrient or health value will be reviewed, and the predominance of volatile derived from essential nutrients and health-promoting compounds suggests that these volatiles provide important information about the nutritional makeup of foods.

Antimicrobial activity of plant essential oils using food model media: efficacy, synergistic potential and interactions with food components.
TL;DR: This work shows that EOs might be more effective against food-borne pathogens and spoilage bacteria when applied to foods containing a high protein level at acidic pH, as well as moderate levels of simple sugars.

Antimicrobial activity in the vapour phase of a combination of cinnamon and clove essential oils
TL;DR: In this paper, the antimicrobial activity of the vapour generated by a combination of cinnamon and clove essential oils against the growth of four Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, Pseudomonas aeruoginosa and Salmonella choleraesuis) and four gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus and Enterococcus faecalis) was assessed by means of the fractional inhibitory concentration index (F

Antibacterial activity of some essential oil components against five foodborne pathogens
TL;DR: These compounds could serve as potential antibacterial agents to inhibit pathogen growth in food by acting as minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC, respectively).

Factors that interact with the antibacterial action of thyme essential oil and its active constituents.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the effects of BSA or Desferal are due to their ability to bind phenolic compounds through their amino and hydroxylamine groups, respectively, thus preventing complexation reactions between the oil phenolic constituents and bacterial membrane proteins.
