Effectiveness of a novel spontaneous carvacrol nanoemulsion against Salmonella enterica Enteritidis and Escherichia coli O157:H7 on contaminated mung bean and alfalfa seeds

Geraniol and Linalool Loaded Nanoemulsions and Their Antimicrobial Activity

“…The polydispersity index for geraniol and linalool was also determined and was found to be 0.20 ± 0.005 and 0.24 ± 0.006, respectively. Landry et al (2014) found similar results when they prepared nanoemulsions loaded with carvacrol with a mean droplet diameters of approx. 100 nm, as determined by dynamic light scattering.…”

“…proteins, lipids) and losing their activity (Xiao et al, 2011;Zahi et al, 2015). A potential alternative to current recommended methods is the use of emulsified essential oils (Landry et al, 2014). This method has recently been reported to be suitable for application in the food industry for fabricating effective antimicrobial nanoemulsions from essential oils (Chang et al, 2013).…”

Essential Oil Nanoemulsions and Food Applications

“…The data suggested that applying oregano oil nanoemulsion to fresh produce may be an effective antimicrobial control strategy. Another similar study evaluated the effectiveness of carvacrol nanoemulsion against Salmonella enterica Enteritidis and E. coli on broccoli, radish seed, 29 mung bean, and alfalfa seeds. 29 The experiments have shown that the nanoemulsion is effective on radish seed, mung beans, and alfalfa seed but not affective on broccoli seeds.…”

The antibacterial and physical effects of modified chitosan basedcoating containing nanoemulsion of mandarin essential oil on green beans is recently being analyzed.…”

Nanoemulsified D-Limonene Reduces the Heat Resistance of Salmonella Senftenberg over 50 Times

“…However, essential oils have technological limitations caused by their hydrophobic bioactive molecules and their organoleptic properties [17]. In order to improve the limitation of hydrophobicity, nanoemulsion technology has emerged and has been proved to solve the problem of immiscibility in aqueous media [15,22,23,24]. The subcellular size of nanoemulsion droplets provides physical stability of the encapsulated active substances and increases the distribution of antimicrobial agents in food [25] and other matrices, such as textiles [26].…”
