Antimicrobial Properties of Natural Phenols and Related Compounds: I. Obtusastyrene
Jurd, L., King, A. D., Mihara, K., Stanley, W. L.
Obtusastyrene (4-cinnamylphenol) displays effective antimicrobial activity in vitro against a variety of gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, and molds. The activity of obtusastyrene is not appreciably...
Antimicrobial Protection of Moisturized Deglet Noor Dates
Bolin, H. R., King, A. D., Stanley, W. L., Jurd, L.
The growth of Saccharomyces rouxii and Saccharomyces mellis, which are two of the main spoilage organisms of dates, can be inhibited by various treatments. The most effective treatment found in this...
Gas-Volume Measurement System for Evaluating Effectiveness of Antimicrobial Compounds
King, A. D., Stanley, W. L., Bolin, H. R.
Yeast spoilage was followed by measuring gas volume produced inside a sealed bag of inoculated fruit. Volume of gas produced correlates with plate counts.
