“…Just, Thymus vulgaris EO showed inhibition of all the tested pathogenic strains, and the highest concentration of EO was required for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa inhibition (0.5%). Some studies have shown that the citrus oils have the greatest activity against pathogenic bacteria and the lowest activity against beneficial bacteria, and the possibility of having a new use for citrus EOs, which are by-products of the food industry, represents important information (Ambrosio et al, 2017). C. reticulate L. EO showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus mutans (MIC 1.0; 1.0 and ≤0.1, respectively, were required).…”

“…C. reticulata L. EO emulsion did not show inhibition of the tested pathogenic strains, but C. paradise L. EO emulsion inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans (inhibition zones 8.0 and 7.0 mm, respectively).

Summary The aim of this study was to develop antimicrobial properties of gummy candies based on bovine colostrum (BC), essential oils (EOs), lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains and their combinations. In addition, the heteropolysaccharide (agar), as a multifunctional polymer, was used for the antimicrobial candies preparation. The antimicrobial activities of BC, EOs (C. reticulata L., Eugenia caryophyllata, C. paradisi L., Thymus vulgaris), LAB strains (Lactobacillus plantarum LUHS135 and Lactobacillus paracasei LUHS244) and their combinations against pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans) were investigated. The highest antimicrobial activities were demonstrated by Thymus vulgaris and Eugenia caryophyllata EOs and their emulsions (12%), and the best formulation of components for antimicrobial gummy candies production would incorporate the BC fermented with L. paracasei LUHS244 in combination with Thymus vulgaris or Eugenia caryophyllata EOs, which inhibited growth of all the tested pathogenic microorganisms (except Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Gummy candies formula consisting of the fermented BC (up to 3%) and thyme EO (up to 0.2%) with mandarin or grapefruit EOs (up to 0.2%) for taste‐masking, allowed obtaining good texture and high overall acceptability products containing desirable antimicrobials, thus antimicrobial gummy candies could be consumer preferred form of nutraceuticals.

“…EOs are natural, complex, and multicomponent systems composed mainly of terpenes, terpenoids, aromatic, and aliphatic constituents (Edris, ; Boukaew, Prasertsan, & Sattayasamitsathit, ; Zahrana, Abou‐Talebb, & Abdelgaleil, ). Previous studies have demonstrated that plant extracts and essential oils or their active constituents has a number of biological activities including antioxidant (Tohidi, Rahimmalek, & Arzani, ), antimicrobial (Ambrosio et al, ), antiviral (Gavanji, Sayedipour, Larki, & Bakhtari, ), antifungal (Boukaew et al, ), anti‐inflammatory (Rungqu et al, ), and antitumor activity (Nikolić et al, ). So, incorporation of EOs into film formulation may enhance the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and physicomechanical properties of the films.…”

Combined effect of montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT) (3%w/w) and Origanum majorana essential oil (MO) (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%v/v) on microstructural (SEM, TEM, and XRD), water sensitivity, barrier, mechanical, thermal, and antibacterial properties of sodium alginate (SA) was studied. Results showed that, addition of both MMT and MO reduced water solubility of SA film up to 47% while MO increased water vapor permeability of SA/MMT films. MO improved surface hydrophobicity of SA/MMT film but tensile strength tend to decrease when both MMT and MO (≥ 1%v/v) were added into film formulation. The nanocomposite film inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus at 1.5% MO concentration confirming the functionality of the films. Finally, combined application of MMT and MO could provide a tool for developing an active SA film with minimized side effects caused by the hydrophobic nature of the essential oil. Practical application Huge amounts of synthetic packaging materials used during last decades has caused serious environmental problems resulting great efforts by both governments and researchers for finding innovative alternatives for the conventional packaging materials. Biodegradable packaging materials has been introduced as a promising solution for the problem. Biodegradable packaging materials like biopolymer based films can be produced from proteins, carbohydrate and lipids and can be replaced or complement traditional packaging systems. Up to now, biopolymer‐based packaging materials have been partially successfully used to prolong the shelf life of food products. However, there are still new developments in various fields and from various perspectives worth reporting. This study developed and characterized a biodegradable and antimicrobial nanocomposite films by incorporating MMT nanoparticles and marjoram essential oil in sodium alginate matrix.

“…Elimination of host pathogenic gut bacteria though conventional broad-spectrum antibiotics or non-conventional nutraceutical products with anti-microbial activity [304], leads to a concomitant reduction in host commensals, possibly increasing host susceptibility to other infectious agents (e.g., C.difficile ). Next-generation subtractive therapies have overturned the concept of therapeutic probiotics, to that of therapeutic bacteriocins, a bacterially derived antimicrobial peptide with toxic activity [305].…”

SUMMARY The human gastrointestinal tract is resident to a vastly diverse microbial consortium that co-exists through strict rules of invasion, dominance, resilience and succession. While some members possess stronger capabilities for survival than others, each one retains a genome characteristic of their bacterial denomination which subsequently determines survival and ultimately the composition of a human gut microbiome. Collective evidence advocates the concept of gut microbiota modulation via dietary compounds, with or without nutraceutical supplementation. However, consistent reports of strong individuality in responsiveness suggest that initial composition of host microbiota mediates the effect of nutrition modulation. There is also a strong potential for the interaction between mind and microbe to influence responsiveness, although mechanistic understanding of these complex exchanges remains in its infancy at best. Synthetic stool for FMT is a next-generation microbiome-therapy shown effective in treating C.difficile [417] which could provide a feasible alternative to current methods for patients with IBD. Nevertheless, studies investigating optimum timing for FMT administration are essential. Animal and human studies are only starting to highlight the Pandora of interactions that endure between members of gut microbiome, their associated metabolites, dietary compounds, as well as host neurological and immune systems, all of which characteristic to each individual. Advanced research technologies have excelled the scientific evidence in support of CAM and toward generating NG-CAM systems designed for treatment of specific disease states, such as IBD. While the majority of envisioned NG-CAM strategies presently exist in their experimental and discovery phases, many show promise for future clinical application.
