| dc.description.abstract | In this research, the combination of essential oils from Citrus maxima peel,
Cymbopogon citratus, and Zingiber officinale rhizome with 1:1:1, 1:1:2, 1:2:1,
2:1:1 ratio, respectively, was carried out to test the antimicrobial and
antioxidant activities. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the
antibacterial properties with different ratios of the combination was determined
by the disc diffusion method that was effective against both Gram-positive and
Gram-negative bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli
while using the DPPH free-radical scavenging activity examinations led to
determine the antioxidant activities. According to the result, 1:1:2 ratio and
1:2:1 ratio gave the best ratio for antioxidant activities and the antibacterial
activities, respectively. In contrast, the 1:1:1 ratio was the lowest ratio for
two activities. | en_US |
