Yeasts can have positive and negative effects on fermented products consumed by humans and animals. They are used as starter cultures in cheeses and bread, but they can also initiate spoilage in foods, such as yoghurt, fruit juice, salads, and mayonnaise [1]. Most spoilage incidents caused by yeasts are controlled by preservative systems. However, certain yeast species show resistance, especially to weak-acid preservatives. These strains belong to the fermentative yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Zygosaccharomyces spp., and Dekkera spp [2]. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most frequent spoiler of lemonades and fruit juices. This organism produces an alcoholic fermentation resulting in fermented off-flavour due to the presence of ethanol and carbon dioxide. Some strains also tolerate benzoates, sorbates and sulphates [3]. In recent years, interest in natural antimicrobial compounds has increased and numerous studies have been reported on the antimicrobial activity of a wide range of natural compounds [4]. The essential oils and extracts of many plant species have become popular and attempts to characterize their bioactive principles have gained momentum in many pharmaceutical and food-processing applications. The plant essential oils received major considerations about possessing a wide range of antimicrobial effects against different groups of pathogenic organisms. So, essential oils with antimicrobial activity are potential candidates, as natural antimicrobial preservatives, that can be used in controlling microbial food contaminations [5,6]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effects of four commercial essential oil from Thymus vulgaris, Echinacea Angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis and Salvia officinalis against S. cerevisiae-Lupine Publishers.
