This study assessed the chemical profiles and bioactivities of infusions, decoctions hydroethanolic extracts tarragon, basil French lavender. The were chemically characterised (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS) their evaluated in vitro. All revealed antimicrobial, antifungal antioxidant properties. lavender showed higher total phenolic content, regardless extraction method used, antitumour capacities, but no anti-inflammatory action. two tarragon power. Thus, may be considered for inclusion foods, as preservatives or functional ingredients. Nonetheless, further studies must conducted to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters bioactive compounds.

Manilkara zapota “chicozapote” as a fruit source of health-beneficial bioactive compounds and its effects on chronic degenerative and infectious diseases, a review

Frontiers in Nutrition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 10

Опубликована: Июль 4, 2023

Manilkara zapota "chicozapote" is an autochthonous evergreen tree from the Southern regions of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. Currently, it widely distributed extensively grown in Mexico Southeast Asia. Traditionally, different structures plant have been used for medical purposes; seeds diuretic purgative properties, aiding digestive complications eliminating bladder kidney stones. Tree bark has antidiarrheal, antipyretic, antibiotic, astringent properties. Fruits leaves to treat cold, cough, diarrhea, indigestion, fever, hemorrhages, wounds, ulcers. Chicozapote fruit yellow brown, with oval shape rough peel, excellent source nutrients, such as sugars, proteins, amino acids, minerals, rich phytochemical components, flavonoids, phenolic tannins. These bioactive compounds exert several biological activities, i.e., antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, anti-arthritic agents, name a few. beneficial properties assist preventing chronic degenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, neurological, infectious, cardiovascular diseases. The use chicozapote still limited its fresh form, non-edible produce lot waste. Therefore, alternative valorizing preserving strategy raw design functional foods pharmacological products. Here, nutritional profiles current view regarding methodologies conditions, extraction characterization compounds, are described, focus placed on their multiple effects specific mechanisms.

Evaluation of the antibacterial activity of Elsholtzia ciliate essential oil against halitosis-related Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

The broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of Elsholtzia ciliate essential oil (ECO) has been previously reported, but its effectiveness against halitosis-causing bacteria such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the bacteriostatic ECO planktonic cells biofilms F. P. gingivalis, ability to inhibit bacterial metabolism production volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) at sub-lethal concentrations. Our findings revealed that exhibited comparable activities chlorhexidine these oral bacteria. Treatment with significantly reduced VSCs, including hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, methanethiol, which are major contributors bad breath. As chemical components ECO, carvacrol, p-cymene, phellandrene, were demonstrated in vitro inhibitory effects on their combined use showed synergistic additive effects, suggesting overall derived from cumulative or effect multiple active components. was found have a destructive cell membrane by examining morphology permeability. Furthermore, application induced significant changes composition saliva-derived biofilm, resulting elimination species contribute halitosis, Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas, Prevotella. These results provide experimental evidence for potential clinical applications ECOs prevention treatment halitosis.
