The present paper reports the chemical composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of several essential oils and their components. Analysis showed that three oils (Carum carvi L., Verbena officinalis L. and Majorana hortensis L.) contained predominantly oxygenated monoterpenes, while others studied (Pimpinella anisum L., Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) mainly contained anethole. C. carvi, V. officinalis and M. hortensis oils exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity, due their contents of carvacrol, anethole and estragol. Antibacterial action was assessed against a range of pathogenic and useful bacteria and fungi of agro-food interest. V. officinalis and C. carvi oils proved the most effective, in particular against Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Carvacrol proved most active against Escherichia coli, and completely inhibited the growth of Penicillium citrinum. The oils proved inactive towards some Lactobacilli strains, whereas single components showed an appreciable activity. These results may be important for use of the essential oils as natural preservatives for food products.

Essential oils obtained from flowers, leaves and stems of Origanum vulgare L. ssp. viride (Boiss.) Hayek., growing wild in Ardabil Province (northwest Iran), were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. β-Caryophyllene was the major constituent in all three oils (48.1%, 50.1% and 60.2%, respectively). Of the 19 components detected in the flower oil, comprising 96.3% of the total, the major components were 1,8-cineole (11.6%), α-pinene (6.9%), and γ,-cadinene (4.8%). 1-Octen-3-ol (23.8%), and 1,8-cineole (8.5%) predominated in the leaf oil. In the stem oil, other main constituents were bicyclogermacrene (9.8%), 1,8-cineole (6.4%), borneol (5.1%), and pinocarvone (4.4%). The essential oils were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against 10 selected microorganisms. The data obtained contribute to the future use of certain essential oils as natural preservatives for food products, due to their safety and positive effect on shelf life.

Berry fruits such as blackberries (Rubus sp.) and blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) are highly perishable after harvest. In addition to rapid deterioration in quality, they are also very susceptible to microbial invasion. The shelf life of these berries is usually terminated by decay. Several natural antimicrobial compounds derived from essential oils of plants were studied for their efficacies in inhibiting decay and extending shelf life of berry fruits. The severity of decay in blackberries and blueberries stored at 10 °C was significantly reduced by treatment with thymol. Treatments with menthol or eugenol also suppressed the fungal growth, but to a lesser extent. All of these three natural antimicrobial compounds extended shelf life of blackberries and blueberries as compared to the control. Berries treated with thymol, menthol, or eugenol also maintained better fruit quality with higher levels of sugars, organic acids, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity than the untreated fruits. The effects of these natural antimicrobial agents on the quality and shelf life of other fruits will be investigated.

Fish  is a product that is easily damaged caused by the activity of bacteria, yeast and fungus.  Therefore there is a need for further treatment to maintain the quality and freshness of fish.  One way to maintain the quality and freshness of fish by using natural preservatives such as coriander.  Coriander has the potential as a natural preservative because it contains essential oils, phenols, flavonoids and linalool which are antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifugal.The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of coriander (Coriandrum Sativum) in preserving milkfish (Chanos-Canos) with 2 treatments namely coriander powder sowing and soaking coriander solution.  This type of research is experimental in nature, namely the treatment of the use of sowing and coriander (Coriandrum Sativum) as a preservative in milkfish.The results of this study indicate that organoleptic observations in milkfish by sprinkling coriander powder lasted for 10 hours and soaking the coriander solution lasted for 9 hours.The conclusion of this research is coriander (Coriandrum Sativum) had ability to preserve milkfish. The suggestion for this research is when consuming, It is better to clean first in order to the taste will not smell strongly, also It is better to choose fresh milkfish.Keywords: Coriander (Coriandrum Sativum), Milkfish (Chanos-Canos), and Durability
