Antimicrobial action of palmarosa oil (Cymbopogon martinii) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The essential oil extracted from palmarosa has proven anti-microbial properties against cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and led to changes in the composition of the yeast cell membrane, with more saturated and less unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane after exposure of S. Cerevisiae cells to the oil.About:

Essential oil composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Satureja cuneifolia Ten.
TL;DR: In this article, the essential oil of S. cuneifolia was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and the major components were carvacrol (44.99%) and p -cymene (21.61%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Edible alginate-based coating as carrier of antimicrobials to improve shelf-life and safety of fresh-cut melon.
TL;DR: Palmarosa oil incorporated at 0.3% into the coating appear to be a promising preservation alternative for fresh-cut melon, since it had a good acceptation by panellists, maintained the fruit quality parameters, inhibited the native flora growth and reduced S. Enteritidis population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxicity of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) oil and its major components to human skin cells
TL;DR: Clove oil was found to be highly cytotoxic at concentrations as low as 0.03% (v/v) with up to 73% of this effect attributable to eugenol, while β‐caryophyllene did not exhibit any cytotoxicity activity, indicating that other cytot toxic components may also exist within the parent oil.

Mechanisms of membrane toxicity of hydrocarbons.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present general ideas derived from the various reports mentioning toxic effects of lipophilic compounds on the membrane lipid bilayer, affecting the structural and functional properties of these membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of cyclic hydrocarbons with biological membranes.
TL;DR: The impairment of microbial activity by the cyclic hydrocarbons most likely results from hydrophobic interaction with the membrane, which affects the functioning of the membrane and membrane-embedded proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of individual and mixed fractions of dill, cilantro, coriander and eucalyptus essential oils.
TL;DR: Essential oil of cilantro was particularly effective against Listeria monocytogenes, likely due to the presence of long chain (C6-C10) alcohols and aldehydes.

The mode of antimicrobial action of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil).
Sean D. Cox,C.M. Mann,Julie L. Markham,H. C. Bell,John E. Gustafson,John R. Warmington,S. G. Wyllie +6 more
TL;DR: The ability of tea tree oil to disrupt the permeability barrier of cell membrane structures and the accompanying loss of chemiosmotic control is the most likely source of its lethal action at minimum inhibitory levels.
