The antimicrobial activity of essential oils is discussed in this review taking in account studies which were published in the period of time from 2008 until September 2010. Furthermore, the most important methods to examine the antimicrobial efficiency of essential oils are presented. The studies are divided into the following two groups, namely antibacterial and antifungal active agents depending on the activity of the applied essential oil against the test microorganisms. Various interesting possible applications are revealed such as the use of essential oils instead of synthetic drugs to circumvent the increasing resistance of some pathogens. Moreover, they could not only be used for the therapy of infectious illnesses, but also as preservatives in the food industry. A further possibility is, among others, the application of essential oils in skin products in order to treat or avoid dermal infections. Additionally, the prevalent constituents of the individual antimicrobial active essential oils are elaborated.

These components have been reported to display antibacterial effects (Ennajar, et al, 2009). In addition, the results of antibacterial activity of EOs isolated from C. sempervirens showed that the oils inhibited the growth of bacterial strains with lower MIC values from 390 to 585 mg/L for all bacteria depended on susceptibility of the tested bacteria.…”

“…Many literatures reported that minor components have a critical part to play in antibacterial activity, possibly by causing a synergistic effect between other components (Bekhechi et al, 2008;Ennajar et al, 2009;Mazari1 et al, 2010 andFekih, et al, 2014).

The present study reports the variation in the essential oils (EOs) composition from needles and scale leaves of Pinus halepensis, Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus phoenicea which collected from three different altitudes at Al-Jabel Al-Akhdar area, Libya. The impact of the altitude on the quantity and quality of EOs was studied. In addition, the antibacterial activity was evaluated using microdilution broth assay technique. The results showed that the highest percentages of the EOs yield were found in P. halepensis with 0.41, 0.60, and 0.43% for the altitudes of 125m (I), 391m (II), and 851m (III), respectively, while the lowest percentages of the yield were found in J. phoenicea, with 0.15, 0.07, and 0.18% at altitudes of I, II, and III, respectively. Based on P. halepensis EOs analyses using GC/MS, 35 components have been detected, which represents 89.92, 91.56, and 86.44% for the altitudes of I, II and III, respectively. Furthermore, high percentages from the components of α-pinene, β-pinene, α-terpineol and caryophyllene were identified at the three tested altitudes. For C. sempervirens EOs, 33 components were identified representing 84.94, 93.37 and 99.48% for levels I, II and III, respectively. The highest percentages of the EOs components in this species were α-pinene, terpinen-4-ol and α-terpiny acetate at the three tested elevations. However, the detected main components in J. phoenecea EOs were α-pinene, α-myrcene, α-terpinyl acetate and γ-terpinene. The highest antibacterial activity was observed for the oils from P. halepensisat and J. phoenicea at altitude I against the Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Erwinia carotovora, Corynebacterium fascians and Pseudomonas solanacearum. While the EOs extracted from scale leaves of C. sempervirens obtained from trees growing at level II were the most active against the tested bacteria. The results of this work revealed the impacts of the environmental conditions on the EOs composition which affected significantly in its quantitative and qualitative performances. Consequently, their biological activities were varied considerably. Moreover, the obtained data offer the opportunity to choose EOs with preferential compound for pharmaceutical, pesticides, perfume and food industries in such important region in Libya.

“…Using antioxidant based formulation in animal feeding can be important to control oxidative process in meat and meat products. These help in disruption of the oxidation chain reaction that further progress with a passage of time which ultimately reduces the quality of meat-based products (Ennajar et al, 2009). However, according to Altmann et al (1986) synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) that are generally used to slow or minimize oxidative deterioration of foods have been rejected because of their carcinogen effects.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of feeding system and cooking treatments on the lipids quality, proximate composition and mineral content of broiler meat (thigh muscle) fed with powders of three natural plants. Hundred (100) twenty-one-day-old broiler chickens (Cobb 500) were randomly allocated to five (5) experimental diets with 10 replicates consisting of the basic ration (without antioxidant) from which four other feeds were obtained by adding 200 UI/kg of Vitamin E (VitE); 5 g/kg of tea leaves powder (CS); Ginger root powder (ZO) and Soursop flowers powder (AM). Feed and water were supplied ad libitum throughout the experimental period. On the 49 th day, they were randomly slaughtered, and their carcasses were collected for culinary treatments. Thereafter, lipids were extracted from the meat using the method described by Bligh and Dyer. Their quality was assessed by the determination of peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value (TBARS) and acid value (AV); while the proximate composition and mineral content were performed on meat flours. Results revealed that the treatments Raw+ZO; Fr+AM; Fr+ZO; Bo+CS; Bo+ZO and Bo+AM limited the formation of hydroperoxides. Except for the treatment Fr+AM, all the treatments significantly increased (P<0.05) the level of TBARS. Combined treatments increased AV. Plant supplementation enhances the nutritional value of broiler meat. Thus, the supplementation of broiler ration with natural powders might be a good alternative to maintain the lipids stability of broiler meat and enhance their nutritional value during cooking treatments.
