Antimicrobial therapeutic compositions and method of use - Patent 6921539 The antimicrobial activities of each carvacrol and thymol are believed to be enhanced, while the pharmacological properties of procaine and related compounds are added to provide their unique properties to facilitate usefulness and effectiveness in humans. The carvacrol was in the form of 96.44% pure essential oil of oregano and 27.43 g of this oil was used to provide the equimolar amount of carvacrol in the reaction. The carvacrol was added into the procaine and the reaction vessels contents warmed in a water bath to 40° C. The contents were vigorously shaken for appropriate times, usually greater than 1 h, and the reaction allowed to slowly cool. www.freepatentsonline.com /6921539.html   (10663 words)

BioMed Central | Full text | Carvacrol and p-cymene inactivate Escherichia coliO157:H7 in apple juice Carvacrol (2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-phenol) is a major component of the essential oils of oregano and thyme [9,10]. The biocidal mode of action of carvacrol on bacteria is similar to that of other phenolic compounds and occurs via membrane damage resulting in an increase in membrane permeability to protons and potassium ions, depletion of the intracellular ATP pool and disruption of the proton-motive force [15,16]. Similarly, the concentrations of carvacrol and cinnamic acid required to delay spoilage of mango, kiwifruit and melon slices was >5 mM [21,22]. www.biomedcentral.com /1471-2180/5/36   (4329 words)

Idaho Observer: Oil of Oregano: An herb for all seasons Carvacrol and thymol are the active ingredients giving the oil its reputable antiseptic properties. However, it is the wild oregano, Origanum Vulgare, native to the south coast of Turkey and Greece on the Mediterranean Sea that is used for its miraculous medicinal properties, typically having combined carvacrol and thymol levels as high as 90 percent in some plants. Steven Foster attributes the “fungicidal and worm-expellant properties” of oil of oregano to carvacrol and thymol. proliberty.com /observer/20030209.htm   (1272 words)

Basil and thyme oils combat foodborne bacteria - Ummah.com According to the researchers who published their findings in the February issue of Food Microbiology, thyme essential oil and its major constituents thymol and carvacrol decontaminated Shigella inoculated lettuce. The potential of thyme essential oil, thymol and carvacrol at 0.5 per cent and 1 per cent v/v for decontamination of lettuce was evaluated. In addition, application of thyme essential oil or thymol or carvacrol for decontamination is hampered by sensoric properties of the lettuce (browning, strong odour), note the researchers. www.ummah.net /forum/showthread.php?t=30775   (488 words)

Oil of Wild Oregano is one of the strongest and most effective antibiotics known to man Carvacrol levels can be increased by adding Carvacrol to the water during distillation or afterwards to the oil or by fractionating the essential oil after distillation by “boiling off” other natural components of the oil to make the Carvacrol percentage higher in relation to what is left. Phenols, such as carvacrol and thymol, act as antiseptics and antioxidants, while terpenes, which include pinene and terpinene, exhibit antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. When lab tested, carvacrol was found to be one of the most potent antibiotics known to science.1 In tests done at Georgetown University, it was found to be more effective than penicillin, streptomycin and even vancomycin (considered to be the strongest of all antibiotics). herbs4cure.com /oregano_properties.htm   (2918 words)

Thyme, Garden Its chief constituents are from 20 to 25 per cent of the phenols Thymol and Carvacrol, rising in rare cases to 42 per cent. The extraction of Thymol is effected by treating the oil with a warm solution of sodium hydroxide: this alkali dissolves the Thymol, and on dilution with hot water the undissolved oil (terpenes, etc.) rises to the surface. At the instance of the Imperial Institute, this Cyprus Origanum oil has been produced in commercial quantities from wild plants in Cyprus, and already in 1913 was exported thence to the United Kingdom to the value of L.

Oregano Oil: As Effective as Antibiotics?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Two types of experiments, one in test tubes and one on mice, have shown that oregano oil and a major component, carvacrol, appear to reduce infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics. Harry G. Preuss and his research team, collaborating with Dr. Cass Ingram, of North American Herb and Spice, conducted research testing oregano oil on staphylococcus bacteria which is responsible for a variety of severe infections and is becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics. The efficacy of oregano oil and one of its major components, a compound called carvarol, in 18 live mice infected with the staph bacteria showed that oregano oil was as effective as vancomycin and more effective than its constituent carvacrol in treating the staph infections. www.kitchendoctor.com /reprints/oregano.html   (378 words)

pH Pure Health - Carvarcrol Oil (Oregano) It is important to use the Carvacrol Oil along with LIMONENE (whole orange peel concentrate extract) to enhance Carvacrol's penetration and absorption and to counter its somewhat burning hot, spicy taste. If the cold seems to be developing into a sinus or ear infection or bronchitis use or if an individual is very prone to these bacterial infections when they have a cold, then it is suggested using stabilized allicin such as Quantum Alli-Supreme at the very beginning of cold symptoms. Carvacrol oil can also be used along with LIMONENE topically to rub into the skin over a sore throat, over enlarged or painful lymph nodes, under and behind the ears for ear aches, on the chest for coughs, and over the sinus areas on the face for painful sinus congestion. www.phpure.com /nutrition_products/carvarcrol_oil.htm   (1046 words)

Monarda: A Source of Geraniol, Linalool, Thymol and Carvacrol-rich Essential Oils In the present study, the content and composition of the nitrogen extracted volatiles and hydrodistillated oils from eight winter-hardy, powdery mildew, and rust-resistant hybrids were determined, with the aim of developing new alternative crops for Canadian agriculture. The essential oil of selection 75-1A contained over 73% carvacrol, while selection 75-1B oil contained 31% thymol (Table 1). As a result, it is our believe that four of these hybrids of monarda may have the potential of becoming commercial sources of geraniol, linalool, tymol, and carvacrol. www.hort.purdue.edu /newcrop/proceedings1993/v2-628.html   (1460 words)

Oregano Oil- The Most Powerful Plant-Derived Antiseptic - Uncle Harry's Natural Products First they determined there were two constituents of Oregano oil, namely Carvacrol and Thymol (technically referred to as phenols}, which proved to be remarkable antibacterial agents. The results of their studies indicate that therapeutic Oregano oil is distinguished by its high percentage of Carvacrol in comparison to Thyme plants which have much more Thymol than Carvacrol. They determined that carvacrol derived from Oregano oil was able to almost completely inhibit spore development in fruits and vegetables at very minimal doses. www.uncleharrys.com /infobase/product/oregano.php   (1314 words)
