Abstract
ABSTRACT Cinnamomum verum essential oil and its main component, cinnamaldehyde, were incorporated into nanoemulsions to improve their stability and activity. Oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions were prepared using the high-energy ultra-sonication method. Cinnamon oil nanoemulsion exhibited a more vigorous DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50 = 1.81 mg/L) than the standard α-tocopherol (IC50 = 9.16 mg/L). Cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion exhibited the highest antibacterial action against Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 175 and 150 mg/L, respectively). It was also displayed the highest inhibition against Candida albicans (EC50 = 19.92 mg/L). Cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion was the most active against mycelial growth of Aspergillus flavus and A. niger (EC50 = 38.20 and 134.80 mg/L, respectively). It also presented the highest activity against spore germination. This study describes antimicrobials and antioxidants based on nanoemulsions made from natural products that can be used to treat microbial infections.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Essential Oil Research ( JEOR) is the major forum for the publication of essential oil research and analysis. Each issue includes studies performed on the chemical composition of some of the 20,000 aromatic plants known in the plant kingdom. JEOR is devoted entirely to all phases of research from every corner of the world by the experts in their field. JEOR''s main areas of focus include:
-Analytical chemistry-
Biological activity-
Biotechnology-
Chemical composition-
Chemical synthesis-
Chemosystematics-
Microbiological activity-
Plant biochemistry/biosynthesis-
Toxicology.
Published six times per year, JEOR provides articles on the aromatic principles of a plant or its isolates and are directed toward furthering our readers'' knowledge of the aromatic plant and animal kingdoms.
