Purpose: To assess the irritation potential of an essential oil-containing mouthrinse (Listerine Antiseptic) in a population with objectively documented xerostomia (hyposalivation) using an exaggerated-exposure clinical model.

Methods: Following a baseline oral soft tissue examination, 19 qualifying female subjects with a mean age of 61 years and a mean unstimulated baseline salivary flow of 0.06 mL/min were randomly assigned either the essential oil mouthrinse or a negative control rinse. They rinsed under supervision with 20 ml of their assigned rinse for 30 seconds and 5 minutes later a second salivary flow rate was determined. They then rinsed unsupervised with 20 ml for 30 seconds three times daily for the next 14 days, and received soft tissue examinations on days 7 and 14. After a 1-week interim period, subjects switched to the alternate rinse and the examination and rinsing regimens were repeated during the subsequent 2 weeks.

Results: The oral irritation potential of the essential oil mouthrinse was minimal. Oral mucosal abnormalities attributable to the test rinses were seen in only 2 subjects, both at the 7-day examination. These subjects were both using the essential oil mouthrinse. The abnormalities consisted of an asymptomatic "whitish slough" which was readily wiped off leaving a normal appearing, non-erythematous mucosa. In both subjects, the oral mucosa appeared normal at the 14-day examination.

Varroosis is a disease caused by the mite Varroa destructor, and it is considered one of the biggest threats to honey bee populations globally. Mite control is centered on the use of synthetic acaricides, such as amitraz and flumethrine. However, high usage of these chemicals is associated with a wide variety of undesirable effects on bee colonies, including the development of resistance and persistence of harmful residues of acaricides in hive products used by humans.

Department of Horticultural Science, School of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran.

According to toxicity data, ochratoxin A (OTA) is the second most important mycotoxin and is produced by and . As a natural antifungal agent, clove essential oil (CEO) is a substance generally recognised as safe (GRAS) and shows strong activity against fungal pathogens. Here, we aimed to investigate the control efficacy of CEO in nano-emulsions (CEN) against OTA production in licorice roots and rhizomes during storage. Read More

Department of Agronomy Faculty of Agriculture Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University Tabriz Iran.

A 2-year (2017-2018) field experiment was performed to specify if the foliar application of putrescine (PUT) under optimum and water-deficit stress (WDS) conditions would favorably affect leaf gas exchange, greenness, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, pigments, sodium (Na), potassium (K), as well as yield and content of the essential oil (EO) relationships in L. (sage) in spring (cutting 1) and summer (cutting 2). Based on the results analysis of variance, the effects of WDS, PUT, and cutting time were significant for the dry weight, leaf area index (LAI), EO content, EO yield, chlorophyll (Chl) t, carotenoid, Na, and K of sage.

Department of Food Science and Technology Yasooj Branch Islamic Azad University Yasooj Iran.

The environmental problems of synthetic plastics in food packaging have led researchers to synthesize biodegradable films. In this study, nanocomposite alginate-based films containing TiO nanoparticles (1%) and cumin essential oil (CEO, 2%) were fabricated and the potential of these films to protect beef from chemical [pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), peroxide value, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA)] and microbial [total viable count, , lactic acid bacteria, , and spp.] spoilage was evaluated during 24 days of storage (4°C).
