Abstract
The continuous emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) microbes and the negative effect of synthetic pesticides and food preservatives have directed us to search for essential oils (EOs) as alternate food preservatives. The present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of EOs of Artabotrys odoratissimus (AOEO), Boswellia serrata (BSEO), Cymbopogon citratus (CCEO), and Schefflera actinophylla (SAEO) against selected pathogenic bacteria and yeast. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirms the presence of 14, 29, 14, and 15 different phytochemicals in the AOEO, BSEO, CCEO and SAEO, respectively. The combinations of AOEO+BSEO, AOEO+CCEO, AOEO+SAEO, BSEO+CCEO and CCEO+SAEO (1:1 v/v) showed dose-dependent antimicrobial activity with ZOIs and MICs ranged between 07.51-22.76 mm and 0.125-4.0 µl/ml, respectively. Hence, these EOs combinations could be utilized as antimicrobial agents for the management of plant and human pathogenic microbes.
