Azziz reported that the hexane extract of S.aromaticum has good antibacterial properties on both E.coli, and S. aureus based on the zone of inhibition which has a diameter range of 7mm to 10mm. In this study, the extract of hexane of S.aromaticum showed positive antibacterial properties against E. coli, and S. aureus for concentrations of 25, 50, 75, 100. The methanol extract showed positive against S. aureus for 75 and 100 mg/ml. The DCM extract showed positive for E. coli, S. aureus, (100 mg/ml). The comparison of the three extracts of clove oil shows that the hexane extract of clove oil has the highest zone of inhibition with the least concentration. This experiment indicates that the major chemical compound of S.aromaticum, Eugenol, shows …show more content…
López, C. Sánchez, R. Batlle, and C. Nerín from Spain in 2005, they conducted the antimicrobial activity of clove on several gram negative bacterium E. Coli, Yersinia enterocolitica,Salmonella choleraesuis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and several gram positive bacterium, S.aureus, Bacillus cereus, Entero faecalis, and Listeria monocytogenes. The clove essential oil was supplied by ARTIBAL. The compounds in clove essential oil was identified using the database of gas chromatography ion trap mass spectrometer (GC-IT-MS). The antimicrobial activity test was performed using solid diffusion assays vapor diffusion assay and MIC after incubation period. Solid diffusion assay was performed by inoculating 100μL of the solution with E.coli and S. aureus into the respective petri dish. The clove essential oil in the filter disk was placed onto the cultured media. P. López, C. Sánchez, R. Batlle, and C. Nerín reported that the clove essential oil which contained Eugenol has antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E.coli. Based on Table 3 and Figure 4, the total inhibitory measured in solid diffusion array for S. aureus is higher than E.coli. The MIC value represents the lowest concentration of essential oil to inhibit the growth of microorganism. The MIC values for both bacteria is 26.6 μL/L which showed inhibition of

    carvacrol is the chief natural ingredient. Carvacrol has been standard by the Food and Drug Administration for food use and also incorporated in the list of accepted chemical flavorings. Carvacrol has been extensively used in conventional medication, and a huge number of feed additives based on this molecule are at present commercially accessible. [28] Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol) is found in thyme essential oil which is the main monoterpene phenol and isomer of carvacrol. Thyme is a labiatae plant which essential oil has demonstrated antiseptic, antispasmodic, antiinflamatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties. [29, 30] Up to this various workers uses essential oil (Carvacrol and thymol) as core material in microencapsulation process using various shells like alginate, [15] Ca- alginate hydrogel, [31] Microcapsules possessing diverse shell walls like as phenol formaldehyde, [36] urea formaldehyde, [37] melamine formaldehyde, [38, 39] polyurethane, [40] and polyurea [41] have been formulated. It is found that Carvacrol and thymol are reported as core material in microencapsulation, [15, 30-35] but no one reported these as shell materials in microencapsulation technique. Establishment of novel shell is inimitable idea of this work. Carvacrol and thymol are the biobased phenols, [28-30] phenol– formaldehyde (PF) microcapsules with various cores were produced by applying in situ polymerization technique. [42, 43] The prettiness of present research work is that invented new shell materials carvacrol-formaldehyde (CF), thymol-formaldehyde (TF), and carvacrol-thymol-formaldehyde (CTF) for encapsulation of…

    Throughout this lab, students worked with a common bacterium called Escherichia coli, which is a gram-negative bacterium that is found living in the digestive tracts of humans and animals. In the lab, various steps were carried out to evaluate and analyze the selective mediums that were created after doing our dilutions. Additionally, the number of colonies forming was calculated from specific time periods to establish a valid growth curve for E. coli. The growth curve’s shape and length is determined by the genetics of the organism, growth medium, and incubation conditions. (Saltman, Lab 9) Because bacteria reproduce by binary fission in a duplicate manner, the time of each doubling of the population is called the generation time. This generation growth is exponential. The purpose of this lab was to establish a growth curve to get a better understanding of the bacterium’s growth pattern under specific time segments and certain growth conditions. There are a few reasons to count the numbers of organisms in a solution or an environment. One is to determine the clinical definition of an infection. Another reason is to establish standards pertaining to water and food quality control and lastly, the need to know the desired number of organisms for a research experiment. By…

    The lab instructions provided five components of cinnamon oil, of which one is the major component of clove oil. Of these five chemicals, only one, eugenol, has a phenol functional group. Because the IR spectrum of the distilled clove essential oil had a weak, broad peak around 3200 to 3500 cm-1, which corresponds to the hydroxyl/phenol functional group, there is evidence that eugenol is the major component of clove oil. Furthermore, since the IR spectra for the other four given chemicals would most likely not have such a peak due to their lack of phenol functional groups, there is even stronger reason to conclude that eugenol is the major component of clove oil.…

    longifolia and E. camaldulensis oils at 5.5 µl/l air resulted in 65.53% and 71.06% mortality in Varroa mites and 10.13% and 12% mortality in honey bees after 10 h exposure. Despite moderate acaricidal activity of F. gummosa oil against Varroa mite (49.69%), it was highly toxic to honey bee (30%). Also, GC/MS analysis of the oils showed that carvacrol (47.99%) and thymol (30.61%) in T. kotschyanus oil, piperitenone (36.86%), piperitenone oxide (27.53%),Cispiperitone epoxide (22.21%), and pulegone (8.38%) in M. longifoliaoil, 1,8-cineol (74.7%) and α-pinene (8.35%) in E. camaldulensis oil, and β-pinene (87.29%) in F. gummosa oil were the main chemical constituents. Collectively, our results led to a conclusion that T. kotschyanus, M. longifolia, and E. camaldulensis oils have enough potential to play an important role in integrated control programs of varroosis in…
