Celery and anti microbial effects
According to the Iowa State University, celery juice concentrate (CJ) showed to reduce the
pH of CJ before addition to the ham had greater impact on L.
monocytogenes growth on does depending manner(b). Its wide version, Apium graveolens L. (wild celery),
chemical constistuents sedanenolide, neocnidilide and neophytadiene
showed to exhibited antifungal activity against Candida albicans,
Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei, Candida guilliermondii, Candida
parapsilosis, Cryptococcus neoformans, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton
mentagrophytes, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, Trichophyton
verrucosum, Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, Epidermophyton
floccosum, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus
flavus.(c).
In the testing of the effects of Apium graveolens
essential oil' antiulcerogenic and antibacterial activities,
researchers at the University of Monastir, found that the essential oil
of A. graveolens are strongly inhibitory
against Escherichia coli and moderately inhibitory against Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus(d)
