“…Additionally, C. citratus oil has been shown antibacterial and antifungal [29][30][31][32] . Therefore, C. citratus is admired as the one of the valuable edible medicinal plants not only daily consumption for good health or used as traditional medicine but also attractive many researchers to study on its biological activities in order to develop the health care products.…”

Essential oils of several plants have been used in ethnomedicine for their antimicrobial activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Thai spice essential oils against cariogenic microbes (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus sanguinis). The greatest effectiveness was achieved by Cymbopocon (DC.) citratus Stapf.oil with MIC and MBC of 0.015-0.062 % v/v. Interestingly, C. citratus oil also exhibited significant antibiofilm formation property at the concentration of 0.062 % v/v with 96.34 % inhibition. Time kill study revealed that C. citratus oil had lethal effect on S. mutans and S. sanguinis within 12 h at the concentrations of 2 and 4 times of MIC while complete eradiation against P. gingivalis was observed after 4 h. Moreover, TEM revealed that C. citratus oil acted directly on the cell wall of P. gingivalis as demonstrated by loss of membrane integrity. The active component of C. citratus was determined by bioautography and GC/MS. Chemical analysis of essential oil showed that citral was the major active component of C. citratus oil. In conclusion, essential oil of C. citratus and its major compound gave the best anti-cariogenic and antibiofilm actions and could be potentially developed as the oral health care products.

“…LEO components including citral, geraniol, myrcene, limonene, and linalool, have significant antifungal activity [ 30 , 38 , 40 , 47 , 67 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 ]. Geraniol increases the outward leakage rate of potassium ions, while citral damages the microtubules and exhibits cytotoxicity in fungi [ 27 ].…”

The prominent cultivation of lemongrass (Cymbopogon spp.) relies on the pharmacological incentives of its essential oil. Lemongrass essential oil (LEO) carries a significant amount of numerous bioactive compounds, such as citral (mixture of geranial and neral), isoneral, isogeranial, geraniol, geranyl acetate, citronellal, citronellol, germacrene-D, and elemol, in addition to other bioactive compounds. These components confer various pharmacological actions to LEO, including antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. These LEO attributes are commercially exploited in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food preservations industries. Furthermore, the application of LEO in the treatment of cancer opens a new vista in the field of therapeutics. Although different LEO components have shown promising anticancer activities in vitro, their effects have not yet been assessed in the human system. Hence, further studies on the anticancer mechanisms conferred by LEO components are required. The present review intends to provide a timely discussion on the relevance of LEO in combating cancer and sustaining human healthcare, as well as in food industry applications.
