“…Many researchers have studied the antiviral and antimicrobial activities of flavonoids. For instance, flavonoids were found to inhibit the potato virus X infectivity of Chenopodium quinoa (French and Towers, 1992), the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermids, and Micrococcus luteus (Rauha et al, 2000), and the mycelial growth of Phytophthora sojae (Rivera-Vargas et al, 1993). However, flavonoids did not show any antimicrobial effects in this study.…”

“…Among them the phenolic compounds are especially important as plant defense systems, as are phytoanticipin or phytoalexin (Dixon and Paiva, 1995). The antimicrobial activities of phenolic compounds against bacteria (Herald and Davidson, 1983;Rauha et al, 2000) and fungi (Korukluoglu et al, 2008) have been reported.…”

“…Polyphenols are a group of aromatic secondary metabolites mainly existing in the plant's bark, roots, leaves, and fruits. They have been reported to possess multiple biological effects such as antioxidant capacity [11 -13] and antimicrobial activity [14], due to which polyphenols have received much attention in the field of pharmaceutical, biochemical, food and cosmetic industry, and so on [15].…”

“…In the nature there are a large number of different antimicrobial compounds that play an important role in the defense against all kinds of living microorganisms (Rauha et al 2000). In this context, incorporation of antimicrobials as food additives provides a way to enhance the safety and shelf life of foods.…”
