Sensitivity of Some Common Food‐borne Bacteria to the Spices Sage, Rosemary, and Allspice

Abstract: The sensitivity of 22 gram negative and 24 gram positive bacteria to the spices sage, rosemary, and allspice was studied. At spice concentrations to 2% in growth media, gram positive bacteria were more sensitive than gram negative bacteria, and sage had the highest antibacterial activity, followed closely by rosemary. A concentration of 0.3% of either sage or rosemary in the media inhibited growth of 21 gram positive organisms, 9 of which were enteropafhogenic. Two Kanagawa positive strains of Vibrio paruhaemo… Show more

“…Kaur et al (2003) and Bajwa et al (2005) reported that incorporation of coriander and mint at level of 10 % by weight in paneer improved the overall acceptability score and yield of product. In addition to imparting flavour, certain herbs prolong the shelf life of foods due to their bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal activity and prevent rancidity by their antioxidant activity (Shelef et al 1980). No work has been reported about use of turmeric in extending shelf life of paneer.…”

“…Outtara et al (1997) reported antimicrobial activity of many spices and classified their activities as strong, medium, or weak. Several studies (Shelef et al, 1980;Aureli et al, 1992;Conner, 1993) showed that cinnamon, clove, pimento, thyme, oregano and rosemary had strong and consistent inhibitory effect against several pathogen and spoiling bacteria. Exact mechanism of antibacterial action of spices and derivatives is not yet clear (Lanciotti et al, 2004).…”

“…Plants and herbs are among the potential options because of their natural origin and antimicrobial activity. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are bulb-forming herbaceous perennial plants belonging, together with garlic, onion, shallot and leek, to the Alliaceae family. They can be easily grown with little care and found fresh throughout Thailand all year-round.…”
