Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring ways to enhance antimicrobial products to combat microorganism resistance, with eucalyptus wood vinegar (WV) showing promise as an alternative antimicrobial.
- The study evaluated the effects of co-pyrolyzing eucalyptus wood with various aromatic herbs to see if it would improve WV's antimicrobial properties.
- Results showed that co-pyrolyzed WV incorporated beneficial compounds like thymol, making it more effective against bacteria than WV produced from wood alone.
