The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Juniperus communis L. essential oil (JO) in cooked sausages was examined. Sausages with different concentrations of JO (0.15.0 µl/g) and a control were prepared. Instrumental parameters of colour (CIE L*a*b*), TBARS values, DPPH scavenging activity assay, microbial profile, and sensory panel scores have been assessed. Batches produced with the JO addition were darker and redder compared to the control. Sausages with the addition of 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 µl/g JO showed the significantly (P < 0.05) lower TBARS values compared to the control. The addition of JO decreased radical formation and reduced the growth of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria. The flavour of sausages produced with the addition of 0.1 and 0.5 µl/g JO was slightly/moderately and significantly (P < 0.05) different from the control. This study demonstrates the significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Juniperus communis L. essential oil, as well as the potential of its utilisation in the production of cooked pork sausages to enhance quality.

Abstract. Ziane L, Djellouli M, Berghioua A. 2021. Short Communication: Chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Fagonia longispina (Zygophyllaceae) of Algerian. Biodiversitas 22: 3448-3453. The study's aim is to discover the antioxidant, antibacterial efficacy and identifying the main constituents of the essential oil of Fagonia longispina from southwest of Algeria. The essential oil from the aerial parts of the endemic plant Fagonia longispina collected from the region of Sahara southwest of Algeria was isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.  Our work was designed then, to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the essential oil of Fagonia longispina by DPPH free radical scavenging and HPTLC techniques. Antibacterial potency of essential oil from this plant has been tested against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Bacillus cereus (ATCC11778) by disk diffusion assay. We found that the chemical profile of the essential oil revealed the presence of 14 compounds: Trans–Pinocarveol (3.14 %), Panisaldehyd (4.24 %), Trans geraniol (3.05 %), carvacrol 18.72 %), Elemicin (22.85 %), (Z,E) Farnesol (15.69 %), Caryophyllene oxide (2.68 %), Alpha-curcumene (1.75 %), Germacrene D (4.22 %), longipinane (2.89 %) and ?-Terpinine (2.74 %). The antioxidant assay showed that the essential oil could scavenge DPPH (IC50 values of 2.1959 mg/mL free radical. The essential oil exhibits very effective antimicrobial activity using disk diffusion assay method with minimum inhibitory concentration ranging from 0.75 ?L/mL to 1.9714 ?L/mL. These results showed that this native plant may be a good candidate for further biological and pharmacological investigations.
