Lipids and essential oils have strong antimicrobial properties - they kill or inhibit the growth of i
sd
microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Th ey are being studied for use in the prevention and
A
treatment of infections, as potential disinfectants, and for their preservative and antimicrobial s
properties when formulated as pharmaceuticals, in food products, and in cosmetics. n

Lipids and Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents is a comprehensive review of the scientifi c in
m
knowledge in this fi eld. International experts provide summaries on:

Lipids and Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents is an essential guide to this important topic s
for researchers and advanced students in academia and research working in pharmaceutical,
i Essential Oils
cosmetic and food sciences, biochemistry and natural products chemistry, microbiology; and l
s
for health care scientists and professionals working in the fi elds of public health and infectious
diseases. It will also be of interest to anyone concerned about health issues and particularly to
those who are conscious of the benefi ts of health food and natural products.
