| description | The analysis was aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil Origanum vulgare against various
gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and yeast. To test its suitability in the vapor phase for the elimination of
biofilm-forming bacteria on fruits and vegetables. To evaluate its potential for use in the storage of vegetables and
fruits. The tested essential oil Origanum vulgare showed strong antimicrobial activity against various types of
microorganisms. Due to the high antimicrobial activity against diverse group of microorganisms, it could also be a
suitable option for the post-harvest treatment of crops in the future. In evaluating the inhibitory activity in the vapor
phase, an effect on the biofilm-forming bacteria S. maltophilia and B. subtilis was demonstrated. Against S.
maltophilia, the highest efficacy was found at a concentration of 500 µL/L by 91.27% inhibition of bacteria on potatoes.
Against B. subtilis, the most effective concentration was 250 µL/L by 63.24 % of bacterial inhibition on carrots.
Relatively stable growth inhibition was found in the apple sample at all concentrations tested. Due to the vaporous
application, it would be possible to use lower concentrations of essential oils to achieve the antimicrobial activity. The
impact on the sensory properties of food would be reduced. |
