Plant essential oils of six aromatic herb species and interspecies hybrids of the family Lamiaceae – chocolate mint (Mentha piperita × ‘Chocolate’), pineapple mint (Mentha suaveolens ‘Variegata’), apple mint (Mentha × rotundifolia), spearmint (Mentha spicata), orange mint (Mentha × piperita ‘Granada’) and strawberry mint (Mentha × villosa ‘Strawberry’) – were investigated for antimicrobial effects against plant pathogenic bacteria: Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina. The screening was carried out in vitro on agar plates filled with the target organism. All essential oils screened exhibited a higher level of antibacterial activity against A. tumefaciens and X. arboricola pv. corylina than streptomycin used as a standard in all tests. The antimicrobial effect of streptomycin and five mint oils was at the same level for P. syringae pv. syringae. There were no significant differences in the influence of the chocolate mint oil on the growth inhibition of all bacteria tested. Plant essential oils from pineapple mint, apple mint, spearmint and strawberry mint showed the weakest antimicrobial activity against P. syringae pv. syringae and the strongest towards A. tumefaciens and X. arboricola pv. corylina. The essential oils from strawberry mint, pineapple mint, spearmint and apple mint had the strongest effect on A. tumefaciens, and the lowest inhibitory activity was exhibited by the chocolate mint and orange mint essential oils. X. arboricola pv. corylina was the most sensitive to the strawberry mint, pineapple mint and spearmint oils. The chocolate mint oil showed the greatest activity against P. syringae pv. syringae.

La carne de conejo es rica en vitaminas, se puede integrar perfectamente a una dieta saludable, sin embargo el factor que influye en su consumo es su sabor y olor; muchas personas catalogan su aroma como fuerte, lo que resulta desagradable. Para mejorar sabor y apariencia de la carne de conejo, se trabajó con un grupo de 25 conejos de las razas Holandés y Californiano de aproximadamente 3 meses de edad y un peso de 2 kg, el agua de bebida fue a base de una infusión utilizando 10 g/2 l de agua hirviendo, siendo estas plantas aromáticas Cilantro (Coriandrumsativum), Hierbabuena (Mentha spicata linnaeus), Orégano (Origanum vulgare) y Tomillo (Thymus vulgaris); como alimentación base a todos los animales se les administro alimento balanceado comercial para conejos. Se utilizaron grupos de 5 conejos por cada una de las plantas mencionadas y un grupo testigo. Se les realizo un examen clínico al finalizar el experimento la cual no presentaron signos de enfermedad. Al termino de cuarenta días finalizado el experimentos e obtuvieron los resultados: tratamiento del cilantro con un peso de 13.60 kg, orégano 11.83 kg; hierba buena 11.40 kg, tomillo 10 kg y el tratamiento testigo 10 kg. Se sacrificaron los conejos, se coció la carne únicamente “al vapor” (165oC), en un tiempo de 50 minutos. Para comprobar si el experimento funciono se invitaron a diez catadores para que calificaran directamente si la carne tenía algún sabor especifico. Los datos que se obtuvieron en el panel de catadores se analizaron estadísticamente por medio de bloques al azar con el programa de Infostat. Obteniendo resultado con diferencia no significativa, (p≤0.05). Con las medias de cada tratamiento se aplicó la prueba de Tukey donde se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: según la variable de la presentación, olor, sabor y textura la más aceptable por el panel de catadores fue el tratamiento evaluado con la hierba aromática del Tomillo. La conclusión fue que los conejos que fueron tratados con tomillo se tornaron de color blanco que es el normal a un color grisáceo, estando suave y de buena consistencia; siendo la más preferida. El cilantro no cambio su coloración ni la consistencia de la carne pero si el sabor, en cuanto a la carne tratado con orégano y hierbabuena, el cambio se observó en la terneza,se dio cambio de color amarillento pero más dura que la normal con sabor y olor agradable.

The paper is devoted to the development and performance testing of a soil conditioner based on leonardite humic substances (LHS) modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The modified HS were obtained by adding APTES to LHS solution at different mass ratios of LHS and APTES, followed by the investigation of siloxane structures using 31Si NMR spectroscopy. The Urbic Technosol was used as a model soil. The size and amount of water-stable soil aggregates were estimated using wet sieving and laser diffraction, respectively. Toxicity was evaluated by monitoring microbial substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and seedling bioassay. Laboratory column experiments demonstrated an increase in water-stability of the 3–5 mm soil aggregates after LHS-APTES application. Field tests showed an increase in the average weighted diameter of micro aggregates (from 59 to 73 μm) and water-stable macroaggregates (from 1.6 to 2.9 mm) due to the LHS-APTES amendment. A substantial increase in SIR from 5 to 9 mg CO2 (kg h)−1 was detected. Better survival of seedlings was observed. The obtained beneficial results indicate that APTES-modified HS can be successfully used as a soil conditioner. The formation of extended siloxane networks was suggested as the main mechanism of the observed improvement in the structure of the amended soils.
