Table 2.

Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), non-inhibitory concentration (NIC), and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) (mg/L) of Sideritis raeseri subsp. raeseri essential oil (EO) against common food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Lambert–Pearson (LPM) model was not applicable to S. cerevisiae and A. niger due to yeast cell sedimentation and conidia flotation. Thus, determination of MIC values was based on the standard protocols described by EUCAST [21,22].
