Aim: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Stevia and peppermint based gel on Streptococcus aureus, E. coli and Pseudomonas. Background: In recent years, the research concerning the use of herbal products has been vastly analyzed to assess their antimicrobial properties. It has been found that these herbs have certain phytochemicals which contributes to its antimicrobial property. The common oral wound pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and Pseudomonas and Stevia-peppermint based mouth gel was formulated to check its antibacterial property. Materials and Methods: Stevia and Peppermint powder was bought from a local supermarket near Poonamallee. 1g of each stevia and peppermint was measured and dissolved in 100mL of distilled water. The mixture was boiled using heating mantle at 70oC for 15 minutes. Then the extract was filtered using Whatmann No.1 filter paper. The filtered extract was further condensed from 80mL to 10mL. 0.5 g of carbopol was added to the 10mL extract to make it in a gel consistency. This gel was focussed to act against the three wound pathogens, S. aureus, Pseudomonas, E. coli. Through agar well diffusion method, the antimicrobial property of various concentrations of the gel was tested and compared with known antibiotic amoxicillin. Results: The current study revealed that Stevia- Peppermint based mouth gel had antimicrobial activity at all concentrations but was significantly less when compared with the standard and there was no significant difference in the antimicrobial activity between different concentrations of the gel used. Conclusion: From the present study, it may be concluded that Stevia- Peppermint based mouth gel have potent antimicrobial properties.

“…Many authors gave light upon the various kinds of organic fertilizers (organic manures, green manures, composted residues, town refuse, sludge, biogas and animal wastes) and explained their importance on soil properties (physical, chemical, biological) which increase soil fertility and subsequently increase the growth, yield and improve the quality of crops (Kononova, 1966;Tandon, 1992;El-Galla, 2003 andAbo-Alkhair, 2013). The ash content was higher in third harvested sample with simultaneous increased amount of Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn contents due to the residual effect of bio fertilizers (Das and Dang, 2014).…”

To study the influence of organic and bio fertilization compared with NPK fertilization and their interactions on yield of stevia plant (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) under some different Egyptian Soils Conditions was carried out a pot experiment at the Experimental Farm of the Fac. Agric. Mansoura Univ. during the summer season of 2013. The experimental design of present study was complete randomized block design with three replications, where soil types represent blocks and each block contains fertilization treatments. Three soil types were used as clay, saline and calcareous and six fertilization treatments are contained in each soil type as control, 100 % of recommended NPK fertilizers,50 % of recommended NPK fertilizers, biofertilizer, organic fertilizer (compost), and mixture of 50 % of recommended NPK + bio + compost. Results indicated that application all fertilizer sources increased the means values of leaves, stems and shoot fresh weights (32.3, 39.7 and 72.0 g/pot) and the others treatments of fertilizers used (63.6, 60.4, 48.6 and 38.9 g/pot for the treatments of mixture, 50 %, organic and biofertilizer, respectively). The corresponding values of increases over control due to the aforementioned respective treatments were 42.5, 34.1, 30.9, 19.1 and 9.0 g/pot. These increases represent the following percentages over control : 144.6, 115.6, 104.7, 64.7 and 30.5 %, respectively. Also dry yield was (24.1, 23.1 and 47.2 g/pot) of stevia plants significantly than control (without fertilization). Concerning to soil types revealed that the greatest value was obtained due to growing stevia plants on clay soil compared to both saline and calcareous soils. The greatest shoots plant fresh weight of stevia was obtained due to growing in clay soil where the mean value was 64.3 g/pot. Both saline and calcareous soils were followed clay soil where the respective mean values of shoot plant fresh weight were 48.5 and 43.8 g/pot. While The highest shoot plant dry yield of stevia was obtained due to growing stevia plants on clay soil where the mean value was 43.2 g/pot. Both saline and calcareous soils were followed clay soil where the respective mean values of shoot plant fresh weight were 31.4 and 28.0 g/pot. In addition, all fertilizers treatments eliminated bad effect of both saline and calcareous soils in comparison with control (interaction effect).

“…In stevia, these triple associations improved biometric parameters, uptake of nutrients and water from soil, SVglys content, and protein, mineral, and phenol contents. These latter compounds in turn improved the antioxidant activity of leaf extracts [182]. Zare Hoseini et al [183] observed an increased biomass production and microelements content in plants biofertilized with Piriformaspora indica and Glomus mosseae.…”

The rising concern about the spread of obesity and diabetes, and a growing awareness about healthy foods in western societies have stimulated, in the last years, a strong interest toward stevia sweeteners as alternative of sucrose and artificial intensive sweeteners. The worldwide demand for purified steviol glycosides from stevia is steadily increasing, and it is expected that in the future the agricultural production capacity will be lower than the market demand. This provides a strong incentive to explore the possibilities to cultivate stevia and to produce leaves and extracts, beyond the traditional production zones. The cultivation of stevia might represent a formidable opportunity for the growers, in order to diversify the cropping systems and to meet the increasing market demand for high-quality and traceable raw material. In addition, several legislative initiatives, such as the steviol glycosides approval as food additive in several countries, represent favorable factors for the development of a stevia-based agro-industry. To foster the introduction of this novel species, a significant improvement of its cultivation should be achieved and a modern agronomical blueprint defined. It is, in fact, imperative to develop economically viable and environmentally sustainable crop production systems through the integration of site-specific agronomic techniques and efficient mechanization technologies for the production and processing of a higher quality product. Several agronomic aspects require still to be optimized (e.g., choice of the cultivar, propagation and transplanting, sustainable weed management, nutrition, irrigation, harvesting), in order to improve, not only the leaf yield, but also its quality in terms of steviol glycosides and bioactive compounds. Traceability and crop quality control along the production chain are the strongest points, in order to obtain a certification that will provide to the farmers preferential market access and to sell the raw material at a differential price. The present chapter, therefore, aims to provide updated scientific information regarding the most important agronomic factors in order to foster stevia cultivation and attain maximum yield and quality.
