Lamiaceae
has numerous proven biological properties. Our aim was to investigate the
antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and chemical composition of essential
oil and extracts of Ocimum basilicum and
Thymbra spicata. For this purpose, we
used four Gram-positive (Staphylococcus
aureus, Streptomyces murinus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis), four
Gram-negative (Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersina enterocolitica, Proteus vulgaris), a yeast (Candida albicans) and a mold (Aspergilus niger). Essential oil and the
extracts of Thymbra spicata have the
most effective and significant activity against the bacteria, yeast and mold.
Antioxidant activity of the Thymbra
spicata was higher than Ocimum
basilicum. Phenolic compounds have good properties like antioxidants acting
as reducing agent, hydrogen donors and singlet oxygen quenchers. Fourteen
phenolic compounds were analyzed and some phenolics were detected in Ocimum basilicum and Thymbra spicata. These results suggest
that Lamiaceae is rich in phenolic compounds and has antimicrobial and
antioxidant properties as well. Therefore, it can be a useful herbal source in
food and drug industries.
