This study first-ever tested the impact of active packaging paper coated with cationic starch containing L. essential oil with 69.26% carvacrol polyphenol on the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of minced beef stored at +4 °C for 0, 6, and 12 days. An analysis of electron scanning microscopy and infrared spectroscopy showed origanum oil entrapment on paper. Meat samples packaged without origanum oil at 6th and 12th days of storage were unfit for consumption. In contrary, origanum oil significantly reduced microbial counts by 2.5 log 10 CFU/g, the peroxide value by 22%, lipid oxidation by 22, the pH-dependent meat spoilage value by 27%, dry matter losses by 7%, and antioxidant activity losses by 40% and restored color and odor reductions. Origanum oil extended the shelf-life of minced beef up to the 6th day of cold storage with no negative effect on meat color and odor.

Aim: This study aimed to assess if the addition of origanum oil to denture materials could decrease microorganisms counts and biofilm formation without changing their mechanical/surface properties.
Materials And Methods: A total of 66 resilient denture liner discs (SoftConfort, Dencril Comércio de Plásticos Ltda, SP, Brazil) were prepared with fixed dimensions of 10 × 3 mm for biofilm assay ( = 36) and 12 × 2 mm for sorption-solubility tests ( = 30) containing three oil concentrations - 0, 2.5 and 5%, thereby = 12 per each group samples for biofilm assay and = 10 per each group for sorption-solubility test respectively.
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of an essential oil from the flowering tops of (L.) Cav. (Spanish type origanum oil) when used as a sensory additive in feed and in water for drinking for all animal species.

Background: Using anaesthetics is an important application in aquaculture especially where the fish transportation, vaccination, grading, sorting activities and many other handling operations have been conducted during the different stages of production periods in the farms or hatcheries.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of oregano essential oil (OO) as an anaesthetic for Nile tilapia and to determine the optimal concentration and post-application stress effects compared to clove oil (CO).
Methods: Nile tilapia juveniles were exposed to different concentrations of OO (20-40-60-80-100 mg L) and CO (50 mg L) for different time periods to determine the optimal concentration and exposure time.

Tomato grey mould has been a great concern during tomato production. The in vitro antifungal activity of vapours emitted from four plant essential oils (EOs) (cinnamon oil, fennel oil, origanum oil, and thyme oil) were evaluated during in vitro conidial germination and mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of grey mould. Cinnamon oil vapour was the most effective in suppressing conidial germination, whereas the four EOs showed similar activities regarding inhibiting mycelial growth in dose-dependent manners.

Vapours from origanum oil (O) and thyme oil (T) were applied to the four soil-borne strawberry pathogens Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae, Colletotrichum fructicola, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, and Phytophthora cactorum, causing Fusarium wilt, anthracnose, dieback, and Phytophthora rot, respectively.
