Antimicrobial Activity: Carvacrol has demonstrated significant antimicrobial effects against various foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Bacillus cereus. Its antimicrobial efficacy is attributed to its ability to disrupt cell membranes and inhibit microbial growth more effectively than many other volatile compounds due to its free hydroxyl group and hydrophobic nature.
Antioxidant Properties: Carvacrol is recognized for its high antioxidant activity, which can enhance the antioxidant status in animals when used as a dietary supplement. This property helps in reducing oxidative stress, which is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing diseases.
Anticancer Effects: Preclinical studies have indicated that carvacrol possesses anticancer properties, particularly against breast, liver, and lung carcinomas. It acts by promoting pro-apoptotic processes, which can lead to the death of cancer cells.
Pain Relief: Carvacrol has been studied for its analgesic effects. In a zebrafish model, it was shown to influence pain responses, although its effectiveness varied with concentration
