Antimicrobial properties and mode of action of mustard and cinnamon essential oils and their combination against foodborne bacteria

In this work, the effects of cinnamon and mustard essential oils against nine foodborne bacteria were evaluated. Their antimicrobial susceptibility and action mechanism was also assessed. Additionally, the effects of the combination between both were evaluated. To provide data on the in vitro action of essential oils, the transfer mechanism was assessed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The results indicated that the mustard presents...
