  Con la finalidad de reducir el número de personas afectadas por enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos,se elaboraron películas biodegradables activas con propiedades antibacterianas a partir de ácido poliláctico, polietilenglicol, y aceite esencial de orégano (Origanum vulgare) al 1% (p/p) y 2 % (p/p). Las películas biodegradables activas fueron elaboradas mediante el método de evaporación del solvente. Se evaluó la acción antibacteriana de las películas biodegradables activas mediante un ensayo de inhibición a la adhesión microbiana contra Salmonella spp. y Staphylococcus aureus. Se pudo establecer que los porcentajes de aceite esencial aplicados tienen poco efecto inhibitorio sobre Staphylococcus aureus, mientras que para Salmonella spp. hay un efecto directo sobre la inhibición, cuando la concentración de aceite esencial es del 2% (p/p). Para una concentración del 1% (p/p), el efecto inhibidor observado fue pobre. Los resultados indican que las bacterias Gram-negativas Salmonella spp son más susceptibles al daño en la pared celular provocado por el aceite esencial de orégano, debido al menor espesor de la misma. En contraste, el mayor grosor de la pared celular que presentan las bacterias Gram-positivas Staphylococcus aureus exige, en principio, de un tiempo mayor para poder producir la lisis celular. Las películas biodegradables activas con aceite esencial de orégano pueden emplearse para la conservación de los alimentos como una tecnología de barrera en conjunto con otros mecanismos de control microbiano y así minimizar tratamientos térmicos severos o reducir la utilización de aditivos alimentarios, que en concentraciones inadecuadas pueden producir cierta toxicidad.   Palabras clave: películas biodegradables activas, contaminación de alimentos, inhibición bacteriana.   Abstract In order to reduce the number of people affected by foodborne illnesses, active biodegradable films with antibacterial properties were made with polylactic acid, polyethylene glycol, and essential oil of oregano (Origanum vulgare) at 1% (w/w) and 2% (w/w). The active biodegradable films were made using solvent evaporation method. The active biodegradable films antibacterial action was evaluated by microbial adhesion inhibition test against Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. It was established that the percentages of essential oil used have little inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, while for Salmonella spp. there is a direct effect on inhibition, when the essential oil concentration is 2% (w/w). For a concentration of 1% (w/w), the observed inhibitory effect was poor. The results indicate that Gram-negative bacterias Salmonella spp are more susceptible to cellular wall damage caused by oregano essential oil, due to its lower thickness. In contrast, the greater thickness of the cell wall that Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-positive bacteria has, requires, in principle, a longer time to produce cell lysis. Biodegradable active films with oregano essential oil can be used for food preservation as a barrier technology in conjunction with other microbial control mechanisms, thus minimizing severe heat treatments or reducing the use of food additives that, in inadequate concentrations can produce some toxicity.   Keywords: active biodegradable films, food pathogens, bacterial inhibition.

The present study aimed to develop biodegradable starch films with starch nanoparticles incorporated with oregano essential oil – OEO (Origanum vulgare), for application as active packaging in food preservation. Film production was performed using the casting method. Three concentrations of oregano essential oil (0.0%, 5.0% and 10%) were studied. The physical and mechanical properties of the films produced were also evaluated. For analysis of antimicrobial efficiency, the methodologies of CLSI and APHA were used. The incorporation of essential oregano oil influenced the performance of the films. The films with 5.0% and 10% OEO showed antimicrobial efficiency when compared to the control.

Background: Origanum vulgare is used in Armenian cuisine as well as in folk medicine. The aim of this investigation was to determine the peculiarities of the chemical composition of Armenian flora’s oregano essential oil (EO) and ethanol extract (EE) and to characterize mainly antioxidant and antibacterial properties in vitro. Methods: EO of plant aerial parts was extracted by the hydro-distillation method, and the composition was analyzed by gas-chromatography (GC). EE was prepared using ethanol as a solvent. Antioxidant, antibacterial and other biological activity of EO and EE was determined using appropriate methods. Results: The terpenes were found to be the greatest part of oregano EO (β-caryophyllene epoxide - 13.3 %; β- caryophyllene -8.2 %; ο-cymene - 5.2 %). The flavonoid content of EE was 3.9±0.7 mg g-1 catechin equivalents. Antiradical activities of EO and EE expressed with half-maximum inhibitory concentrations were 1057 µg mL-1 and 19.97 µg mL-1. The antioxidant index in the case of using extract (1000 µg mL-1) was 77.3±1.5 %. The metal chelating activity of EE was 74.5±0.2 %. The tyrosinase inhibitory activities of EO, EE and arbutin were 26.5±0.3 %, 6.5±0.2 % and 50±0.1 %, respectively. Both EO and EE of oregano were able to suppress the growth of testmicroorganisms including clinical pathogen isolates, but have moderate antimicrobial activity. EO antibacterial activity against ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli was similar to the activity against non-resistant strain. EE was not active against ampicillin-resistant E. coli in contrast to non-resistant one. Conclusion: The results indicate high antioxidant and moderate antibacterial as well as high antiradical, metal chelating, tyrosinase inhibitory activity of oregano EO and EE, which can be used as a natural source of terpenes, flavonoids and other phytochemicals in medicine, pharmaceutics, cosmetics and food industry. EO has antibacterial activity also against ampicillin-resistant E. coli.

The provision of plentiful good-quality food is a primary issue in the modern world. This work was planned to study the influence of packaging atmosphere and oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil addition [(vacuum packaging: T1 or modified atmosphere packaging or T2 (CO2/N2 = 4:6) or T3, T2 with oregano essential oil (T2 + EO)] under various storage temperatures (0, 5, 10, and 15 °C) on the control of survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and associated spoilage flora in sliced smoked turkey meat. The pathogen increased by only <1.0 log colony-forming unit (CFU)/g under all packaging and temperature combinations. Moreover, T1, T2, and T3 exerted practically similar inhibitory activity against the pathogen and dominating bacteria, with a relatively low growth of E. coli O157:H7 in sliced smoked turkey during the shelf life under all storage regimes compared to the control. However, the pathogen survival was highest on the sliced smoked turkey under T1, decreasing by only 0.67, 0.74, 0.63, and 1.30 log CFU/g within 37 days if kept at 0, 5, 10, and 15 °C, respectively. Under T2 and the same condition, E. coli O157:H7 in the product declined by only 0.31, 0.50, 0.72, and 1.10 log CFU/g within 37 days of storage, respectively. In the T3 samples, the pathogen was reduced by only 0.33, 0.67, 1.72, and 3.46 log CFU/g through 37 days of storage, respectively. Under T3 were E. coli O157:H7 populations in smoked turkey eliminated (negative by enrichment) under all conditions (after 129, 95, 95, and 43 days maintained at 0, 5, 10, and 15 °C, respectively) compared with other packaging temperature combinations. Thus, T3 contributed to developing ready-to-eat smoked turkey with enhanced product quality and eliminating the pathogen.

Guava leaf tea of Psidium guajava Linnaeus is commonly used as a medicine against gastroenteritis and child diarrhea by those who cannot afford or do not have access to antibiotics. This study screened the antimicrobial effect of essential oils and methanol, hexane, ethyl acetate extracts from guava leaves. The extracts were tested against diarrhea-causing bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli. Strains that were screened included isolates from seabob shrimp, Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller) and laboratory-type strains. Of the bacteria tested, Staphylococcus aureus strains were most inhibited by the extracts. The methanol extract showed greatest bacterial inhibition. No statistically significant differences were observed between the tested extract concentrations and their effect. The essential oil extract showed inhibitory activity against S. aureus and Salmonella spp. The strains isolated from the shrimp showed some resistance to commercially available antibiotics. These data support the use of guava leaf-made medicines in diarrhea cases where access to commercial antibiotics is restricted. In conclusion, guava leaf extracts and essential oil are very active against S. aureus, thus making up important potential sources of new antimicrobial compounds.
