The vapor phase of some essential oils proved to have antimicrobial activity. Utilization of the vapor phase of Eos is presently understood as one of the possible alternatives to synthetic food preservatives which could be used in the future. However, testing the vapor phase of EOs against microorganisms causing food-borne diseases (e.g. Salmonella enteritidis or Staphylococcus aureus) or food spoilage is relatively new. Consequently, due to the large number of known EOs, research on their antimicrobial activity is still largely in the phase of in vitro rather than in vivo testing. Moreover, no standard and reliable method for fast screening of a wide range of samples exists. Thus, the aim of this study is to show results concerning tests of the antimicrobial activity of EOs against S. enteritidis or S. aureus, which were conducted by two modifications of the disc volatilization method we developed. The lately developed method has the potential to become widely used for fast screening of EO antimicrobial activity in the vapor phase.

The effect of exogenous application of nano-iron chelate (100 and 200 mg/l) in early flowering stage on components of essential oils (EOs) of Carum copticum was evaluated. The EO extracted by hydrodistillation from Iranian C. copticum was characterized by means of GC/MS. The nano-iron chelate application increased γ- terpinene and thymol and decreased α-pinene, β-pinene and p-cymene concentration. The oil was also subjected to antimicrobial activity. C. copticum oil was found to inhibit Bacillus cereus and Candida albicans with the lowest MIC and MBC/MFC values. Thymol and carvacrol possessed the highest antimicrobial activity among the major components. These results clearly show the antimicrobial effects of the essential oil C. copticum.
