Diabetes represents a significant global health concern, and researchers are actively exploring innovative ap- proaches to managing this disease. In this study, we investigated the bioactive properties and anti-diabetic ac- tivity of the aqueous extract (BAE) and essential oil (BEO) derived from purple basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The antioxidant a...

The specific aims of the current study were to determine and quantify the bioactive compounds derived from the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Pediococcus acidilactici and screen their protective effect in frankfurters by applying an edible coating. This was achieved by immersing the peeled frankfurters in the CFS (CFS: 50% and 100%) alone or in com...

Different methods are used for extracting phytochemicals from plant produce. Some ‎methods require sophisticated and expensive instruments, while others need multiple steps ‎and specialist equipment, leading to an increase in energy, solvents, cost, and time. Here, the effect of incorporating hydrogen (H2) into solvents (that is water, ethanol, ‎me...

It was aimed to assess the antimicrobial potential of lyophilized/freeze-dried paraprobiotic (LP) of P. acidilactici against some food-borne pathogens under in-vitro conditions and food model, and determination of bioactive compounds that contribute to the antimicrobial activity of LP. For this purpose, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), inhib...

The current research was designed to compare the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of cell-free supernatant (CFS) and whole-cell postbiotic (WCP) and reveal the efficacy of WCP in combination with chitosan and thymol for extending the shelf life and inhibiting emerging foodborne pathogens in chicken breast fillets during storage at 4 °C....

The objective of the study was to carry out characterization of postbiotics from Pediococcus acidilactici and to assess their efficacy (50% and 100%) in combination with chitosan (0.5 and 1%) against Escherichia coli O157: H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes on frankfurters during refrigerated storage for 35 days. High amounts of tot...

The aims of this study were to characterize postbiotics, and to evaluate their antibacterial effects in-vitro and on chicken drumsticks. Postbiotics [Pediococcus acidilactici (PA), Latilactobacillus sakei/Staphylococcus xylosus (LS)] exhibited strong antioxidant activity, and their total phenolic contents were found as 2952.78 ± 0.4 and 1819.44± 0....

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of purple basil methanolic extract and essential oil on serum lipid profiles in rats fed a high cholesterol diet. Feeding a high-cholesterol diet increased serum lipid profiles, leptin, hepatic triglyceride, cholesterol levels, malondialdehyde concentrations, fatty acid synthase (FAS)...

This study was carried out to characterize antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and the phenolic and flavonoids profile of postbiotic of Pediococcus acidilactici and to evaluate the effects of postbiotics (10% and 50%) alone and in combination with chitosan coating (1%) on the microbial and chemical quality of chicken breast fillets during...

The aim of this study was to evaluate Rheum ribes L. juice as a marinade against L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium in vacuum packed raw beef. The juice was used at levels of 10%, 50%, and 100% for different marination times (2, 6 or 24 h). E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium counts in the marinated samples at 100% conc. for 24 h w...
