INTRODUCTION

1.INTRODUCTION

Strong consumer demand for safe and high-quality foods can be attributed in part to the widespread availability and accessibility of quality health data and information. There are also new concerns about food safety due to increasing occurrence of new food-borne disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms. This raises considerable challenges, particularly since there is increasing unease regarding the use of chemical preservatives and artificial antimicrobials to inactivate or inhibit growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms.(Arques et al., 2008; Aslim&Yucel, 2007; Brandi et al., 2006; Cushnie et al., 2005).
As a consequence, natural antimicrobials are receiving a good deal of attention for a number of micro-organism-control issues. Reducing the need for antibiotics, controlling microbial contamination in food, improving shelf-life extension technologies to eliminate undesirable pathogens and delay microbial spoilage, decreasing the development of antibiotic resistance by pathogenic microorganisms or strengthening immune cells in humans are some of the benefits(Abou-taleb et al., 2008; Fisher et al., 2008; Gaysinsky et al., 2007).
Antimicrobials are used in food for two main reasons: 1.To control natural spoilage processes (food preservation), and 2.To prevent or control growth of micro-organisms, including pathogenic micro-organisms (food safety). Natural antimicrobials are derived from herbs and spices. (Davidson,2006; Gaysinsky et al., 2007; Gutierre et al., 2008).
The exploration of naturally occurring antimicrobials for food preservation receives increasing attention due to consumer awareness of natural food products and a growing concern of microbial resistance towards conventional preservatives (Schuenzel et al., 2002). Antimicrobial properties of herbs and spices have been recognized and used since ancient times for food preservation and in medicine.

    Returning back to clove oil, which is used in this experiment, this oil is extracted from a small evergreen tree called Syzygium aromaticum that is found in Indonesia, Madagascar, and Zanzibar. Clove oil consists of an essential oil which is a volatile mixture of water-insoluble components that releases an odor and other characteristic of the plant. In this experiment we abstracted the major component of clove oil by codistillation with water through steam distillation and dichloromethane extractions. Also, IR spectrometry was used to identify the unknown constituent. An IR spectrum shows the characteristic…

    Preservative agents are required to ensure that manufactured foods remain safe and unspoiled. Antimicrobial properties of essential oils (EOs) reveal that Gram-positive bacteria are more vulnerable than Gram-negative bacteria. A number of EO components have been identified as effective antibacterials, e.g. carvacrol, thymol, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid, having minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) at higher dilutions in vitro. EOs comprise a large number of components and it is likely that their mode of action involves several targets in the bacterial cell. The potency of naturally occurring antimicrobial agents or extracts from plants, ranges of microbial susceptibility and factors influencing antimicrobial action and their antioxidative properties, aimed at food preservation, are reviewed in this article. Methods employed for estimation of inhibitory activity, mode of action and synergistic and antagonistic effects are evaluated. The potential value of these agents as natural and biological preservatives is considered.…

    rotunda rhizome was extracted by using Rukayadi et al. (2008) method. In this method, the essential oil and bioactive compounds of this plant was obtained by macerating, filtrating and evaporating by using rotary evaporator. During maceration process, the grounded B. rotunda with its solvent has been occasional shaking to increase diffusion for more extraction yield purposes. After 4 days, the mixture were filtered and evaporated with rotary evaporator at 40oC. The grounded B. rotunda was extracted for thrice times. It is because an appreciable amount of active compounds may be left behind in the first macerating process (Azmir et al., 2013). Ethanol (95%) has been used as a solvent in this method because it has same polarity with flavonoid that is secondary metabolite in the B. rotunda plant (Utami, 2012). Besides that, the percentage of ethanol-water mixture that is 20%-95% commonly used by the herbal medicine industry for preparation of ethanolic extracts and it is safe for human consumption compare other organic solvents like acetone and methanol (Ganora, 2008). In other research, the essential oil and 95% ethanol extracts of B. rotunda showed potent activity against Candida albicans (Taweechaisupapong et al.,…

    Medicinal plants constitute an important natural wealth of a country. They play a important role in providing primary health care services to rural people. They serve as therapeutic mediators as well as important raw materials for the manufacture of traditional and modern medicine. Substantial amount of foreign exchange can be earned by exporting medicinal plants to other countries. In this way indigenous medicinal plants play significant role of an economy of a country. Past century there has been a rapid extension of the allopathic system of medical treatment in India. It generated commercial demand for pharmacopieial drugs and their products in India. Efforts have been made to introduce many of these drug plants to farmers. Several research…
