Abstract in brief

  • Oregano essential oil (OEO) is recognized for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making it a promising natural alternative to synthetic food additives.
  • The primary active compounds in OEO, such as carvacrol and thymol, contribute to its effectiveness and vary based on species, harvest time, and location.
  • OEO can help improve food safety and shelf life by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, especially in fatty foods, and preventing oxidation through its antioxidant activity.]

El aceite de orégano cuenta con propiedades antioxidantes y antimicrobianas. Podría ser utilizado como aditivo alimentario, aunque también tiene sentido en el contexto de la salud, introducido en una dieta equilibrada y variada. https://t.co/bGR118PsFD

@CDCgov @NIH How about some “out of the box” thinking ? What are the chances a natural infestation has a natural restraint? Mother Nature to the rescue… https://t.co/27IlmvuJyV https://t.co/27IlmvuJyV https://t.co/tkltEjjOIY
