...ntibacterial activity of capsaicin was evaluated by the minimal bactericidal concentration, change of pH in the first 12 h and OD values of biofilms. Besides, fluorescent images of exopolysaccharides and living bacteria of Streptococcus mutans were measured with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In our study, capsaicin showed an outstanding performance in the inhibition of acid producing and biofilm of the fo...

...tal six (6) ingredients (capsaicin, red chili, ground garlic, dead insects, denatonium benzoate, and thiophanate-methyl) were used as repellents. The repellent ingredients were used to hang over the feeders. Among the tested natural and chemical ingredients as a repellent, the average number of feeding approaches in repellent feeder was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in bitrex chemical (denatonium benzoate) and thiophanate-methyl chemical. No differences we...
