Mentha spp. Essential Oils: A Potential Toxic Fumigant with Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase Activity on Reticulitermes dabieshanensis.

Summary

Essential oils from plants with linalool, menthol, and carvone were found to be effective against termites. When combined, their insecticidal potency increases, making them a potential alternative to synthetic insecticides for termite control.

In vitro antimicrobial activity of extracts and essential oils of Cinnamomum, Salvia, and Mentha spp. against foodborne pathogens: A meta-analysis study.

Summary

Study finds Cinnamomum, Salvia, and Mentha extracts have varying antimicrobial activity. Cassia most effective against Salmonella, cinnamon against Bacillus cereus, and mint against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Important to consider factors affecting antimicrobial testing. Natural products can inhibit bacterial growth. (90 words)
