Why is it important?
Chemical and synthetic ingredients are used to increase shelf life and inhibit the growth and proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in food products.These ingredients can cause problems for the health of consumers. For replace such ingredients with natural preservatives and antimicrobials, several studies have been conducted to assess the antimicrobial properties of different plants.The results of this study confirmed the antimicrobial effect of the essential oil of S. edmondi in the food model.
Perspectives
