TAILIEUCHUNG - Antimicrobial activities of essential oils, plant extracts and their applications in foods - a review

This manuscript aims to establish a comprehensive review on the antimicrobial activity of some plant essential oils, their active components and plant extracts against common foodborne pathogens in vitro and on/in foods. Even though the exact mechanism of action may be unknown, the efficacy of these compounds in reducing the survival of pathogens, makes them prime candidates for alternate sanitizers. | Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences December 2018 Vol. 7 No. 2 pp. 76-89 ISSN 2334-2404 Print 2334-2412 Online Copyright The Author s .

Improper processing and handling temperature irregularities during transportation and storage and inadequate sanitation options can also lead to foodborne outbreaks associated with frequently consumed foods. The ability of these pathogens to survive the processing and supply chain and reach consumers causing outbreaks has made interventions important in terms of sanitation measures. Natural antimicrobials such as plant essential oils and extracts are gaining popularity as an alternative to commercially used chemicals such as chlorine and hydrogen peroxide. Consumers are more aware of the harmful effects of these chemicals and prefer natural alternatives. Essential oils have been used as flavorings and perfumery agents for a long time and have recently gained popularity in foods due to their antimicrobial activity. This manuscript aims to establish a comprehensive review on the antimicrobial activity of some plant essential oils their active components and plant extracts against common foodborne pathogens in vitro and on in foods. Even though the exact mechanism of action may be unknown the efficacy of these compounds in reducing the survival of pathogens makes them prime candidates for alternate sanitizers.
