Background: Bacillus cereus and Yersinia enterocolitica are implicated in foodborne diseases that have major effects
on human health; therefore, it is considered universal public health disorders. Essential oils and essential oils nano
emulsions have a sufficient antibacterial performance against a variety of bacteria, especially multi-drug resistant
bacteria. Probiotics showed several health benefits via moderating the GIT microbiota and their metabolites.
Aim: The study was designed to evaluate the biocontrol ability of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) nano emulsion and
probiotics as natural antibacterial additives and reveal their bactericidal mechanism.
Methods: 250 random samples (50 raw milk, 50 rice pudding, 50 kariesh cheese, 50 yogurt, and 50 ice cream) were
purchased separately from different areas in Mansoura city, Egypt, and exposed to bacteriological analysis.
Results: Bacillus cereus was found with the highest mean value of 66 × 107
± 1.3 × 108 CFU/g in raw milk and the
lowest mean value of 28 × 107
± 2.6 × 107
CFU/g in kariesh cheese while Y. enterocolitica was found in 64% of the total
inspected samples with the highest incidence (84%) in yogurt. The toxinogenic potential of the tested pathogens has
been evaluated by multiplex PCR pointing nhe A and ces genes for B. cereus isolates while targeting in Y. enterocolitica
16s rRNA, and YST gene. Different concentrations (0.17%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) of cinnamon oil
nano emulsion were employed in this study. CEO nano emulsion had the highest reduction rate at a concentration of
1.5% in the case of B. cereus and 2% in the case of Y. enterocolitica. Among different types of probiotics, the best one
which showed inhibitory potential against B. cereus and Y. enterocolitica was L. plantarum.
Conclusion: Lactobacillus plantarum and CEO nano emulsion at a concentration of 2% have the highest reduction
rate against Y. enterocolitica, while L. plantarum and CEO nano emulsion at a concentration of 1.5% has the best
antibacterial effect against B. cereus. In conclusion, more attention is required for both safety and quality in dairy
products through the application of natural additives such as essential oils and probiotics.
