“…This antibacterial activity is due to the fact that the leaves of Trigonella foenum-graecum are rich in a wide variety of secondary metabolites such as glycosides, alkaloids, phytosterols, proteins, saponins and phytosterols which have been found in vitro to have antimicrobial properties [69]. The results of Crocus sativus are very similar to those found by Muzaffar in 2016, of the extracts of Crocus sativus against Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherishia coli, with a zone of inhibition of 8mm, 6mm, 9mm, 7mm, and 6mm , respectively [72], and also by Okmen in 2016, when aqueous extract of Crocus sativus showed a maximum inhibition zone against Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (d=11 mm) [73] The antibacterial activity of Cymbopogon citratus extract is somewhat lower, since it is active only against three bacteria (Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas sp, Enterococcus faecalis) and inactive against Citrobacter freundii and Staphylococcus aureus. Bearing, These results remain interesting, since the diameters of the inhibition zones obtained are very close to the other studies, Zulfa et al in 2016, found that Cymbopogon citratus extracts has an antimicrobial activity against the foodborne pathogens; Bacillus cereus, Escherishia coli, K.pneumonia, and Staphylococcus aureus [74], Moreover, Ewansiha and all also confirmed that the Cymbopogon citratus chloroform leaf extracts showed an intermediate antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Escherishia coli [75].…”

The antibacterial and antifungal activities of some Moroccan medicinal plants extracts were evaluated against six bacterial species and three yeasts. The agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the extracts of the following medicinal plants: Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis, Psidium guajava, Crocus sativus, Dysphania ambrosioides, Trigonella foenum graecum and Cymbopogon citratus. The used standard antibiotic is the Ampicillin 30µg, and the standard antifungal is the Econazole30µg. The highest antibacterial activity was observed for the extracts of Rosmarinus offficinalis (16,6mm

“…Gram‐positive ( Staphylococcus aureus ), Gram‐negative (Proteus, Escherichia coli ) and Aspergillus niger bacteria were provided by China Medical culture collection （CMCC）. The microorganisms were cultured in Nutrient Broth (beef extract 3 g, peptone 10 g, NaCl 5 g, agar 20 g, water 1 L, pH7.4‐7.6) for 16 h, under shaking . Disc diffusion method was used for screening the antimicrobial activity of all berries in order to determine the growth inhibition zones of microorganisms around certain berries .…”

Berries have many biological and physiological functions such as antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and become a more popular food in China. Water-soluble polyphenols are their main functional active substances, and aroma components contribute to the flavour. The contents of total phenol and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ten berries grown in Northeast China were determined. Their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were also investigated. Ribes rubrum L. and Rubus glaucus showed a higher antioxidant capacity. Ribes rubrum L. and Lonicera caerulea have a broader antibacterial spectrum. There is a correlation between the content of hydroxyl compounds in radical antioxidant activity. The metabolic pathways of polyphenols and VOCs are correlated, indicating a rapid evaluation of the biological activity of berries using the determination of volatile components.

Introduction:Crocus sativus is a member of iridaceae family and its use in health management is in practice since ancient time. Additionally, research based on clinical trials and animal models have advocates its role in disease cure without any severe adverse complications. The aim of this study is to summarize the study of saffron and its ingredients based on in vivo and in vitro and role in disease cure and prevention. Materials: This study was designed through the search engines such as Pub Med, Scopus and Google Scholar. The keywords used for the search were mainly focused on Saffron with health benefit and its therapeutics role in different diseases. Result: Saffron stigma is mixture of various components and recent studies have proven that saffron and its active ingredients play a key role in disease management. Moreover, clinical trials based study on the use of saffron and its individual components have confirmed the health promising effects. Conclusion: Although Saffron has potential role in the disease cure and prevention via modulation of anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, anti-microbial and anti-diabetic activity. Furthermore, advanced research is needed to elaborate the role of saffron in health management and its mechanism of action in the modulation of biological activities.
