Studies

Meta-analysis of antimicrobial activity of Allium, Ocimum, and Thymus spp. confirms their promising application for increasing food safety.

Summary

Study shows Mediterranean plant extracts effectively combat foodborne pathogens, particularly Allium spp. against B. cereus and S. aureus, and Thymus spp. against B. cereus. Results inform food safety measures and highlight potential natural alternatives to chemical additives for food preservation.
