Terpenoids and Polyphenols as Natural Antioxidant Agents in Food Preservation

Ignacio Gutierrez-del-Rio et al.

Summary: Synthetic antioxidant food additives like BHA, BHT and TBHQ are facing challenges due to negative consumer perception, prompting food manufacturers to seek safer natural alternatives. Terpenoids and polyphenols, widely distributed in fruits and vegetables, show broad antioxidant effects and have the potential to replace synthetic antioxidants in food preservation, particularly in preventing lipid oxidation in high fat-containing foods.

Antimicrobial activity of the volatile substances from essential oils

Mareshah Abers et al.

Summary: This study investigated the antimicrobial properties of volatile substances present in various essential oils, finding potent antimicrobial activity in several essential oil constituents such as rosemary, tea tree, and cassia, while clove had minimal antimicrobial activity. These results support historical evidence of the antimicrobial activity of essential oil volatile constituents and suggest potential medical implications for using aromatic essential oils in treating respiratory and dermatological infections.
