Conference Object Potential Application of Natural Phenolic Antimicrobials and Edible Film Technology Against Bacterial Plant Pathogens(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2020) Alkan, Derya; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetIn this study, antimicrobial edible film technology used frequently for inhibition of human pathogens in processed food was employed as a postharvest bio-based preservation method to prevent bacterial spoilage of fresh fruits and vegetables. Antimicrobial edible zein films were developed by incorporation of pure phenolic acids (PAs) such as gallic acid (GA), cinnamic acid (CA), vanillic acid (VA); essential oils (EOs) such as carvacrol (CAR), thymol (THY), eugenol (EUG) and citral (CIT) and phenolic extract (PE) from clove. In order to test synergetic effect of PAs, different amounts of PAs were added into film solution to obtain films containing mixture of GA and CA, GA and VA, CA and VA at different concentrations. The antimicrobial performances of edible films were tested on selected plant pathogenic bacteria including Pseudomonas syringae, Erwinia amylovora, Xanthomonas vesicatoria and Erwinia carotovora. The overall results of antimicrobial tests showed that films containing PAs between 1 and 4 mg cm-2 inhibited all pathogens while EOs at concentrations between 2 and 4 mg cm-2 and clove extract between 4 and 8 mg cm-2 were found effective against pathogens except P. syringae. Morover, the incorporation of combination of different PA showed greater inhibitory activity on plant pathogens than incorporation of a single PA into films. The edible zein coatings have already been applied for coating of fresh fruits and vegetables at the postharvest stage to suppress their respiration rate and prolong their refrigerated storage. This work clearly showed the benefit of incorporating a single or mixture of antimicrobial phenolic compounds, EOs and PEs in edible zein films against bacterial plant pathogens. The developed films might be employed against plant pathogens by coating fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, seedlings, tree stems, soil as well as agricultural tools and constructions without using toxic chemicals. © 2020 International Society for Horticultural Science.

Plant material samples of Pistacia lentiscus, Vitex agnus-castus, Cistus creticus and Nerium oleander were collected in October, November and December. The harvesting time significantly affected their antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of these plant extracts. The highest biological activities in terms of antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities were observed for the leaf extract of C. creticus. The applied doses of leaf extracts of C. creticus, P. lentiscus, and N. oleander resulted in higher Bax and GAPDH expressions than those for control cells. These plant extracts may trigger apoptosis and may be a promising natural source for prostate cancer treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 60Pistacia Terebinthus Extract: as a Potential Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Possible Ss-Glucuronidase Inhibitor(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ülkü, SemraIn this study, inhibition of Escherichia coli glucuronidase (GUS) by a plant extract of Pistacia terebinthus was investigated. P. terebinthus (from Karaburun region in Turkey) leaf extract exhibits various bioactivities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic property because of its flavonoid, phenolic and alkaloid contents. HPLC analyses were performed to evaluate the composition of the extract and main flavonoid compounds such as luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside and apigenin-7-glucoside were detected in extract. GUS activity and kinetic data of the GUS were obtained by measuring rate of production of resulting fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) and phenolphthalein fluorometrically and spectrophotometrically, respectively. Plant leaves showed higher antioxidant capacity as 85 TEAC (trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity) value and higher antimicrobial activity towards Staphylococcus aureus. 92.4% GUS enzyme inhibition was achieved with 8.3 μg ml-1 crude extract concentration, where IC50 value was found as 2.1 (±0.2) μg ml-1. Kinetic studies by nonlinear regression revealed that inhibition type caused by plant extract was mixed type (noncompetitive and competitive together). Km and Vmax values were 96.94 ± 9.68 nM and 7.81 ± 0.16 nmol min-1 mg-1, respectively. Inhibition constant (αKi) was found as 7.00 ± 0.93 nM having α value 2.17 ± 0.93. Our results may provide useful information regarding the inhibition of microbial GUS activity, preventing deglucuronidation and reducing possible cancer risk by bioactive P. terebinthus crude extract. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
