Abstract: (170 Views)
In this study, after preparing Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) essential oil, the total phenol and flavonoid content, antioxidant properties, and antimicrobial effects were evaluated using four methods: disk diffusion agar, well diffusion agar, minimum inhibitory concentration, and bactericidal inhibitory concentration. The study included various bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella dysenteriae, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Salmonella typhimurium. The total phenol content was 33.50 mg gallic acid per gram of essential oil, and the total flavonoid content was 14.60 mg quercetin per gram of extract. The antioxidant activity of A. nobilis essential oil was 51.70% in the DPPH radical scavenging method and 57.90% in the ABTS radical scavenging method. Among all antimicrobial methods, the essential oil exhibited the highest antimicrobial effect against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the least effect against Shigella dysenteriae. The results suggest that A. nobilis essential oil can be used in the production of food and pharmaceutical products as an antioxidant and antimicrobial compound.
Keywords: Anthemis nobilis essential oil, Phenolic compounds, Antioxidant properties, Antimicrobial activity.
