The effects of turmeric extract (T), shallot extract (Sh), and their combination (T + Sh) on the quality of vacuum-packaged rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were examined during refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C) over a period of 20 d. Fish samples were divided into 4 batches; 3 batches were treated by dipping for 30 min in aqueous solution of turmeric extract (1.5%; v/v), shallot extract (1.5%; v/v), or turmeric and shallot extract combination (1.5%+ 1.5% v/v), while the fourth batch was dipped in distilled water as a control sample. The control and the treated fish samples were analyzed periodically for microbiological (total viable count, psychrotrophic count), chemical (total volatile base nitrogen [TVB-N], peroxide value [PV], and thiobarbituric acid [TBA] value), and sensory characteristics. The results indicated that the effect of the T, Sh, and T + Sh on the fish samples were to enable the good quality characteristics to be retained longer and to extend the shelf life during the refrigerated storage.

Background And Aim: Antimicrobial resistance in poultry farms is a significant global public health concern that has led farmers to explore alternative antibiotics, such as prebiotics in poultry production. This study aimed to examine the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic shallot extract (ESE) and the effects of adding shallot powder (SP) to broiler feed on broiler growth, immune response to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccination, and gastrointestinal tract bacteria.

Materials And Methods: We determined the antimicrobial effects of ESE against O157:H7 (EOH) and TISTR 2365 (L2365) using the agar well diffusion method.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a genetic condition characterized by an excessive response to androgens, leading to hairline regression in men and hair thinning at the vertex in women, which can negatively impact self-esteem. Conventional synthetic treatments for AGA are often limited by their side effects. In contrast, Thai medicinal plants offer a promising alternative with fewer adverse effects.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the antibacterial properties of a specific shallot cultivar from Palu Valley, Indonesia, against the pathogen that causes typhoid fever, due to shallots' low toxicity and affordability.
  • - Using techniques like thin-layer chromatography (TLC-bioautography) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), researchers identified active compounds in shallot extracts and studied their interactions at the molecular level.
  • - Results show significant antibacterial activity, with a maximum inhibition zone of 31.5 mm, and identified key compounds such as dodecanoic acid, suggesting that Palu Valley shallot extract has strong therapeutic potential against typhoid fever.
