Two commercial biopesticides were studied to determine their persistence in two soil types, such as sandy clay loam and clay loam soils. For this purpose, an orange oil-based biopesticide was used, being limonene its main ingredient. The other biopesticide was based on cinnamon extract and trans-cinnamaldehyde as its main component. Degradation of these compounds was monitored, and transformation products or metabolites were detected. Limonene and its metabolites were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and trans-cinnamaldehyde by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Both techniques were coupled to a high-resolution mass (HRMS) analyzer, such as quadrupole (Q)-Orbitrap. Limonene and trans-cinnamaldehyde were rapidly degraded as result of first-order kinetics. Possible metabolites such as thymol, cymene, isoterpinolene and cymenene for limonene, and hydroxycinnamic acid for trans-cinnamaldehyde were tentatively identified. Moreover, four other metabolites of trans-cinnamaldehyde, some of them not previously described, were also detected.

Natural compounds in the fight against biofilms: a review of antibiofilm strategies.
Front Pharmacol
November 2024
Infectious Diseases Research Center (IDRC), Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the significance of a pathogen known for forming resilient biofilms and its antibiotic resistance, emphasizing that these biofilms help bacteria survive against immune responses and treatment.
- - Natural compounds (NCs) like curcumin and thymol show promise in disrupting biofilms through various mechanisms, including direct killing, hindering bacterial communication, and affecting gene expression linked to biofilm formation.
- - Despite their potential, challenges like low solubility and bioavailability hinder effective clinical use, prompting researchers to explore nanotechnology and innovative drug delivery methods to enhance the efficacy of these NCs.
Enhancing agrochemical delivery in citrus leaves with geraniol: a promising strategy for controlling huanglongbing (HLB).
Pest Manag Sci

China and Key Laboratory of Integrated Pest Management in Crops, Ministry of Agriculture, Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China.
Background: Citrus huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease in citrus, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), which primarily resides in the phloem where chemicals cannot effectively reach, posing a significant challenge in controlling HLB. To address these challenges, plant essential oils (EOs), widely used as transdermal enhancers and known for their benefits for plant tissues, were investigated for their potential to enhance chemical permeation.
Results: In this study, seven EOs - eugenol, carvacrol, eucalyptol, geraniol, linalool, cinnamaldehyde, and d-limonene - were evaluated for their potential to enhance chemical penetration into citrus leaves.
Inhibition effect of non-contact biocontrol bacteria and plant essential oil mixture on the generation of -nitrosamines in deli meat during storage.

College of Food Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266000, China.
To reduce the risk of -nitrosamines in deli meat products, this study formulated a novel non-contact -nitrosamines inhibiting preservative IV (NIP-IV) consisting of biocontrol bacteria and plant essential oils (EOs) ( SR-1 + PP-2 + CF-3+ cinnamon EO + grapefruit EO). Luncheon pork, spiced beef, and red sausage were taken as representatives of typical deli meat products and used to validate the effectiveness of NIP-IV in inhibiting -nitroso dimethylamine (NDMA) production. The results showed that NIP-IV restrain protein degradation and lipid oxidation in deli meat products and effectively control microbial activity.

Article Synopsis
- * The study tested different concentrations of ivermectin and EOCs on Rhipicephalus annulatus tick isolates, finding that while all EOCs were toxic to the ticks, no true synergistic effect with ivermectin was identified despite some combinations showing increased mortality.
- * The research suggests that combining ivermectin with certain EOCs, especially D-limonene and cinnamaldehyde, could enhance tick control methods, and further research is recommended to assess effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
Determination of synergy and antibiofilm activities of antimicrobials and essential oil components.
Biofouling

Department of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Sivas Cumhuriyet University, Sivas, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of essential oils, like cinnamaldehyde and carvacrol, as adjuncts to existing antimicrobials to combat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and reduce antimicrobial resistance.
- Various tests were conducted to assess the effectiveness of these essential oils, their safety on human cells, and their ability to work in synergy with traditional antimicrobials.
- Findings indicate that essential oils have strong antimicrobial properties, particularly against MRSA, and can enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments, though some components showed cytotoxic effects.
