Essential Oils Antagonism Against Three Hygiene Significant Yeasts and Juice Spoilage by Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

Antifungal antagonism of different fourteen plant essential oils was examined as natural agents against economic and hygienic effective three yeasts; the preservative efficacy of most potent anti-yeast essential oil in food sanitary was also tested. Study involved oils antifungal bioactivity screening against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, and Candida utilis. Study also included selection and in vitro extraction of most bioactive oil, and evaluation of its antifungal minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Control of juice spoilage by Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the effect of in vitro oil extract different concentrations was also screened.
