Nanoencapsulation of Anise oil and evaluation of its antimicrobial and antioxidant effects to propose for food preservation

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of nanoencapsulated anise oil in food preservation.
Evaluated antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of anise oil nanoencapsulation.
Assessed cell viability, MDA, and GSH levels following H₂O₂ exposure.
Utilized natural nano-formulations for controlling multi-drug resistant pathogens.
AEO-NPs significantly increased cell viability under oxidative stress conditions.
MDA levels decreased and GSH levels normalized in treated cells.
AEO-CH formulation effectively reduced oxidative damage in food preservation systems.

Abstract

). Additionally, AEO-NPs reduced H₂O₂-induced oxidative damage by increasing cell viability and normalizing MDA and GSH levels. Therefore, these nano-formulations, particularly AEO-CH, are promising natural nanocarriers for controlling MDR pathogens and biofilms while decreasing oxidative damage in food preservation systems.
