Abstract:
Camelina sativa is well-known for its polyunsaturated fatty acids content. Beside the lipidic profile, the seeds contain phenolic compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic activity. This study aims to assess the antimicrobial activity of some camelina extracts, using the disc diffusion assay. Camelina oil and seed extracts in tree types of hydroalcoholic solvents (ethanol, i-propanol and methanol) were used in this study. All these were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against six different human pathogens: Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhimurium, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis, and other five plant pathogens: Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Monilinia sp., Penicillium sp. and Sclerotium sp. B. subtilis ATCC 6633 was used as reference, due to its high sensitivity to antimicrobial compounds. Three methods to obtain hydroalcoholic extracts were tested. The 90% propanolic extracts have shown the highest antimicrobial activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Enterococcus faecalis and S. aureus. A larger spectrum of antimicrobial activity was revealed when the extraction was made under shaking.
