Exploring the antibacterial potential of plant extracts and essential oils against Bacillus thermophilus in beet sugar for enhanced sucrose retention: a comparative assessment and implications
Sugar beet is one of the greatest sources for producing sugar worldwide. However, a group of bacteria grows on beets during the storage process, leading to a reduction in sucrose yield. Our study focused on identifying common bacterial species that grow on beets during manufacturing and contribute to sucrose loss. The ultimate goal was to find a potential antibacterial agent from various plant extracts and oils to inhibit the growth of these harmful bacteria and reduce sucrose losses. The screening of bacterial species that grow on beet revealed that a large group of mesophilic bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, Leuconos...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 4511: Odor Perception and Descriptions of Rose-Scented Geranium Pelargonium graveolens & lsquo;Dr. Westerlund & rsquo; & ndash;Sensory and Chemical Analyses
This study aimed to identify the sensory profile and suggest responsible chemical compounds of Pelargonium graveolens ‘Dr. Westerlund’. The sensory and chemical analysis results revealed sensory profiles of Pelargonium graveolens ‘Dr. Westerlund’s and provided suggestions for the chemical compounds attributed to the sensory profiles. Further studies are recommended to investigate the correlation between volatile compounds and possible stress reduction in humans. (Source: Molecules)

Anti-arthritic effects of geranium essential oil loaded chitosan nanoparticles in Freund ’s complete adjuvant induced arthritic rats through down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines
AbstractGeranium essential oil (GEO) has been widely used in aromatherapy and traditional medicines. Nanoencapsulation, a novel technique has emerged to overcome the environmental degradation and less oral bioavailability of essential oils. This work was undertaken to encapsulate geranium essential oil in chitosan nanoparticles (GEO-CNPs) by ionic gelation technique and to explore anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory potential in FCA-induced arthritic model in rats. The GEO was characterized by gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GCFID) and the nanosuspension was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectr...

Promising effect of Geranium robertianum L. leaves and Aloe vera gel powder on Aspirin ®-induced gastric ulcers in Wistar rats: anxiolytic behavioural effect, antioxidant activity, and protective pathways
ConclusionData presented a significant protective effect ofAloe vera gel and geranium against Aspirin ®-induced GU; they reduced gastric mucosal injury with potential anxiolytic effects through their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Therefore, they may be considered promising agents for preventing or treating gastric ulceration. (Source: Inflammopharmacology)
