Origanum vulgare L. has been known as having many therapeutic properties and its antimicrobial activity has currently received arenewed interest. This study aimed to verify the eVectiveness of O. vulgare L. essential oil to inhibit the growth/survival of various foodspoiling yeasts. Anti-yeast activity was studied by determining the MIC by solid medium diVusion and microplate bioassay, as well asobserving the eVect of the essential oil MIC on the yeast cell viability. O. vulgare essential oil showed eVectiveness to inhibit the growth ofall assayed yeasts with MIC values for the most ones of 20 and 0.6 L/mL when determined, respectively, by solid medium diVusion andmicroplate bioassay. Solid medium diVusion MIC presented statistically signiWcant inhibitory eVects (P<0.05) on yeast cell viability,mainly when interacting with Candida albicans and Candida krusei. On the other hand, the microplate MIC just provided statisticallysigniWcant inhibitory eVects on the cell viability when interacting with C. krusei. These data show the anti-yeast property of O. vulgareessential oil.
