Development of kinetic model for testing antifungal effect of Thymus vulgaris L. and Cinnamomum cassia L. essential oils on Aspergillus flavus spores and application for optimization of synergistic effect

Posted by by

Pekmezovic M, Rajkovic K, Barac A, Senerović L, Arsic Arsenijevic V Biochemical Engineering Journal, 2015 ABSTRACT: The antifungal effect of essential oils (EOs) of Thymus vulgaris L. (EOT. vulgaris) and Cinnamomum cassia L. (EOC. cassia) against Aspergillus flavus spores was evaluated by determining minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum fungicidal concentrations and fungicidal kinetics. Kinetic model of… Read more »
