Researchers analyzed the chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of oregano essential oils (OEOs) from different regions. OEOs demonstrated strong antimicrobial resistance against fungi and high antioxidant activity. OEOs high in carvacrol have potential as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents.
Scientists investigated the film-forming abilities of gel and chitosan combination for edible food packaging. The films improved the rheological, antioxidant, and thermal properties. Coating fruits with the films reduced microbial growth during storage, suggesting they can preserve fresh products effectively.
An optimized extract of L demonstrated comparable anti-inflammatory properties to a control group and reduced tumor-associated inflammation and oxidative stress, suggesting its potential as a natural therapeutic agent.
