Abstract

Essential oils (EOs) are more complex and comprise a number of volatile and natural bioactive compounds, which often used in food industries as the best alternatives. This review focuses on the impact of EOs and the roles of their major components in food manufacturing as natural preservatives with the related mechanisms of action. In addition, the major bioactive molecules of different types of EOs and their pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antifungal and antimicrobial effects on crop protection were also discussed. The major compounds of EOs represent potential antioxidant, antimicrobial and antifungal activities through various mechanisms. Different types of EOs such as tea tree oil, lemon oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil and thyme oil from various traditional plants, have significantly showed better antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, and also effectively increased the shelf lives of the cereal products and increased the quality of food safety. The major groups of EOs such as terpenes and aromatic volatile compounds, play a key role in food safety without affecting the quality. Due to their various activities including antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, EOs could be used as alternative preservatives to increase the shelf lives of cereals and crops.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
