Abstract
This study determined the chemical composition of Cinnamomum verum J.Presl, Cistus ladaniferus L., Laurus nobilis L., Senecio anteuphorbuim, Boswellia serrata Roxb. ex Colebr. and Schinus molle L. essential oils (EOs) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Moreover, the six EOs were screened in order to reveal their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. They were initially tested against six pathogenic bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Escherichia coli (ESBL: extended-spectrum β-lactamases), Enterococcus faecalis (VRE: vancomycin-resistant enterococcus), Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRK: carbapenem-resistant klebsiella), clinical isolate Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Then, the antioxidant effect was assessed by β-carotene-linoleic acid. Cinnamomum verum J.Presl, Cistus ladaniferus L. and Laurus nobilis L. exhibited the greatest antibacterial activity except Boswellia serrata Roxb. ex Colebr. oil. But this last one showed the highest antioxidant activity (85.75%) comparable to that of BHT (98.25%). The principal component analysis between the antibacterial activity and the twenty major components of six EOs revealed that α-pinene, β-pinene, 4-carene, α-phellandrene, 1,8-cineole, linalool, 1,3,8-p-menthatriene, α-terpineol, cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamaldehyde are responsible for their antibacterial activity against multi-resistant strains. From this study, the results obtained show that the EOs may constitute an alternative to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
期刊介绍:
Flavour and Fragrance Journal publishes original research articles, reviews and special reports on all aspects of flavour and fragrance. Its high scientific standards and international character is ensured by a strict refereeing system and an editorial team representing the multidisciplinary expertise of our field of research. Because analysis is the matter of many submissions and supports the data used in many other domains, a special attention is placed on the quality of analytical techniques. All natural or synthetic products eliciting or influencing a sensory stimulus related to gustation or olfaction are eligible for publication in the Journal. Eligible as well are the techniques related to their preparation, characterization and safety. This notably involves analytical and sensory analysis, physical chemistry, modeling, microbiology – antimicrobial properties, biology, chemosensory perception and legislation.
The overall aim is to produce a journal of the highest quality which provides a scientific forum for academia as well as for industry on all aspects of flavors, fragrances and related materials, and which is valued by readers and contributors alike.
