There was another area of testing, in which we tested the effectiveness of common household spices on bacteria and yeast. My group tested Paprika, which showed to have no effect on the Serratia. There was a lab-malfunction, in which we tested Serratia twice, which inhibit the results of Paprika on yeast. However, other groups tested different spices/food which showed to be very effective; vinegar and honey (on Serratia), and garlic for both bacteria and yeast.

It has been appeared to have antimicrobial movement (Dorman and Deans, 2000). Both watery and ethanolic concentrates of black pepper have been screened for antibacterial action against Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilus (Singh et al., 2005; Ghori and Ahmad, 2009). Watery decoction of black pepper showed greatest impact against Staphylococcus aureus and observed to be most dynamic antibacterial specialist against all bacterial separates aside from Salmonella typhi, Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus sanguis and Streptococcus uberis.

Licorice root is used worldwide as a natural sweetener, as well as a flavoring agent. The main composition of plant Flavonoids and Isoflavonoids act as inhibition platelet aggregation, and anticancer, antioxidant (20). Aly et al.,2005(21) indicate that liqurice have potent anti-inflammatory reduction edema about 78.3 while diclofen about 73.9% also have anti-ulcerogenic activity associated with a reduced acid output and an increased mucin secretion, an increase in prostaglandin E2 release and a decrease in leukotrienes (22). Many volatile oil and vitamins such as B1,B2,B3,B6,C,E, Biotin, Foli acid, Pantothenic acid act as expectorant, laxative, liquiritin act as antitussive (23).

Also, it is high in cancer prevention agents which anticipate untimely maturing and when it is being devoured orally, it

According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) a minimum of 2 million people become infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria and an estimated minimum of 23, 000 people die each year as a direct result of those infections . As an increasing number of infectious diseases are becoming resistant to numerous allopathic medicines , for example meticillin-resistant staphylococcus aureusis or MRSA, more research is being conducted into alternative treatments derived from naturally occurring substances. Having heard about the

Food Marketing. Food products often involve the general marketing approaches and techniques applied the marketing of other kinds of products and services. In food marketing, topics such as test marketing, segmentation, positioning, branding, targeting, consumer research, and market entry strategy, for example, are highly relevant.

She also considered it as a potent natural

The incidences of antimicrobial resistance in human pathogens have increased at an alarming rate worldwide (Tanwar et al., 2014). Nature has been a potential source of medicinal agents for thousands of years and a notable amount of modern drugs have been isolated from natural products, many based on their use in traditional medicine. The relatively lower incidence of adverse reactions to plant preparations compared to modern conventional pharmaceuticals, coupled with their reduced cost, is encouraging both the consuming public and national health care institutions to consider plant medicines as alternatives to synthetic drugs.

The very process of reviewing the literature resulted in the scope of the topic narrowing from “antibiotic use in livestock” down to “thyme oil as an alternative for one particular livestock disease”. This review is organized in chronological fashion, reflecting the literature search process through time as new information informed closer, more specific focus.

“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” famous words from the father of western medicine an ancient Greek physician name Hippocrates.

Natural remedies have been used throughout history and within every culture to prevent and treat diseases. Specifically, plants have provided the foundation to alternative medicine, with some such as digoxin becoming adopted into conventional medicine (Walden & Tomlinson, 2011). Garlic (Allium sativum) in specific has a long history of both medicinal and culinary use, and has been more closely examined than many other herbs due to its weight in health benefits. The intact cells of garlic bulbs contain an odourless sulphur-containing amino acid, allinin, which has potent antibacterial properties and is highly odoriferous and unstable (Ebadi, 2006). Alliin is acted upon by the enzyme allinase to produce allicin, which produces the characteristic garlic odour and much of the pharmacological activity of garlic (Ebadi, 2006; Braun & Cohen, 2010). Asides from organosulfur compounds, garlic bulbs also contain protein, amino acids, fibre, lipids, phytic acid, saponins, beta-sitosterol and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, chromium, iron and selenium; all of which contribute largely to the medicinal use of garlic (Braun & Cohen, 2010). This essay seeks to explore in depth the cardioprotective, anti-microbial and potentially anti-cancer actions of garlic as growing evidence suggests these as the more effective natural remedy uses of garlic (Boon & Smith, 2004).
