Abstract

Chemical compounds are the most used methods for food conservation, but usually they do not comply with the concept of natural or safety requested by the consumers, because some of them have some degree on toxicity. For this reason industry is in the search for natural antimicrobials for food conservation.

The purpose was to evaluate the activity against Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33291 an two clinical isolates (C. jejuni UVG 62-1773-6 and C. coli UVG 62-1769-9) of dichlorometane (DE) and methanol (ME) extracts, and essential oill (EO) of Cornuda grandifolia. Eryngium foetidum. Fernaldia pandurata, Lippia alba. L. chiapasensis, L. graveolens, Ocimum micrantlnnn. Pimento dioica. Piper auritum. P. jacquemontianum, Psidium guajava and Tagetes lucida.

Inhibitory activity was demonstrated by a disk diffusion method. Screening at 200 µg mL showed the active species; DE of. graveolens against C. coli and T. lucida against C. jejuni ATCC 33291 and UVG 62-1773-6 and ME of 7. alba, L. graveolens and P. jacquemontianum against C. jejuni ATCC 33291, L. alba against C. jejuni UVG 62- 1 773-6 and L. alba. L. graveolens and T. lucida against C. coli. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of DE of T. lucida was 100 pg/mL and 200 µg/mL for the others. In the screening and MIC of EO. the most active (CIM <1.25 pL) against C. jejuni ATCC 33291 were, L. graveolens. O. micrantlnnn and/5 dioica; against C. jejuni UVG 62-1773-6 was L. graveolens and against C. coli were L. graveolens, O. micranthum and P dioica. It is concluded the extracts and EO mof these species could de used as natural alternative in food conservation and in pharmaceutical industry.
