Inhibitory activity of aromatic plant extracts against dairy-related Clostridium species and their use to prevent the late blowing defect of cheese
Food Microbiol. 2023 Apr;110:104185. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2022.104185. Epub 2022 Nov 7.ABSTRACTThe aim of the present work was the selection of aromatic plant essential oils (EOs) and/or ethanolic extracts (EEs) to prevent the late blowing defect (LBD) of cheese caused by Clostridium spp. EEs resulted more effective than EOs to inhibit dairy-borne Clostridium spp. in vitro. Savory, hyssop, lavender and tarragon EEs, which showed the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration against Clostridium tyrobutyricum, were selected to study the prevention of LBD caused by this bacterium in cheese. Addition of savory and lavender EEs to c...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6427: Artemisia Species with High Biological Values as a Potential Source of Medicinal and Cosmetic Raw Materials
ka Szopa
Artemisia species play a vital role in traditional and contemporary medicine. Among them, Artemisia abrotanum, Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia annua, Artemisia dracunculus, and Artemisia vulgaris are the most popular. The chemical composition and bioactivity of these species have been extensively studied. Studies on these species have confirmed their traditional applications and documented new pharmacological directions and their valuable and potential applications in cosmetology. Artemisia ssp. primarily contain sesquiterpenoid lactones, coumarins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Essential oils obtained from ...

Anticancer Properties of Kaempferol on Cellular Signaling Pathways
Curr Top Med Chem. 2022 Sep 7. doi: 10.2174/1568026622666220907112822. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolyhydroxy compounds are secondary metabolites that are ubiquitous in plants of higher genera. They possess therapeutic properties against a wide spectrum of diseases, including cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, atherosclerosis, as well as cardiovascular disease. The phytochemical flavonol (a type of flavonoid) kaempferol (KMP) (3,5,7-trihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- 4Hchromen-4-one) is abundant in cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, kale, spinach, and watercress, as well as in herbs like dill, chives, and tarra...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 6678: Antimicrobial Effects of Basil, Summer Savory and Tarragon Lyophilized Extracts in Cold Storage Sausages
Daniela Cojocari
The problem of functional foods with bioactive components of natural origin is current for the food industry. Plant extracts rich in polyphenols with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity are a promising source for use in improving the quality and characteristics of fresh meat and meat products. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the physico-chemical, microbiological, sensory properties of sausages prepared with the addition of lyophilized extract of basil, thyme or tarragon. For the beginning, the total amount of polyphenols, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity o...

Bioactive compounds from Artemisia dracunculus L. activate AMPK signaling in skeletal muscle
This study examined PMI-5011 activation of AMPK signaling using murine C2C12 muscle cell culture and skeletal muscle tissue. Findings show that PMI-5011 increases Thr172-phosphorylation of AMPK in muscle cells and skeletal muscle tissue, while hepatic AMPK activation by PMI-5011 was not observed. Increased AMPK activity by PMI-5011 affects downstream signaling of AMPK, resulting in inhibition of ACC and increased SIRT1 protein levels. Selective deletion of DMC-2 from PMI-5011 demonstrates that compounds other than DMC-2 in a "DMC-2 knock out extract" (KOE) are responsible for AMPK activation and its downstream effects. Com...
