Abstract
Traditional medicine has long used jasmine oil to treat a wide range of conditions. Jasmine oil offers numerous health benefits, from stress relief to improved digestion. The culinary industry is one of the many potential applications for jasmine essential oil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of Jasminum grandiflorum absolute essential oil (JGEO). To this end, its antibacterial activity was evaluated in the vapour phase on fruit and vegetable models and in vitro using the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results showed that Agrobacterium radiobacter was the most susceptible to JGEO. This was confirmed by both approaches. JGEO had potent antibacterial activity against A. radiobacter and Priestia megaterium after inoculation on fruit and vegetable models in in situ tests. Our results, together with previous studies, show that JGEO has strong antibacterial properties. This makes it a viable option for use as a preservative against phytopathogenic bacteria in fruit and vegetable models.
Keywords: antimicrobial agents, and activity, fruits, vegetables, phytopathogenic bacteria
