Abstract
Salvia officinalis L., had common names (Sage, Meramiah), had medicinal and aromatic activity, it was used as traditional medicines, due to antimicrobial efficiency. The pharmacological properties were alkaloids, glyco-sidic, phenolic mechanisms, steroids, polyacetylenes, and terpenes / terpenoids. The importance was to conduct laboratory trail experiment for Saudi Salvia officinalis L. essential oil to prove its ability for getting rid of food poisoning bacteria. Methodology was a laboratory trial to using the Folin’s test for cell biomass and viable cell count, after interaction to Saudi Salvia officinalis essential oil. The results were showed Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and Salmonella typhi, were getting rid at the second day of trial, the Folin’s test results were 13.4%, 12.9, and 13.1%. At the third day Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium sp., and Campylobacter jejuni, were 13.5%, 13.9, and 13.8%. At the fourth day, Shigella sp., Listeria monocytogenes , and Yersinia enterocolitica, were 13.6%, 13.4, and 13.8%. It was concluded that, Saudi Salvia officinalis essential oil active ingredients were proved capability of getting rid of food poisoning bacteria. It was recommended that, the medical using of Saudi Salvia officinalis essential oil to getting rid of food poisoning bacteria, will preserve food, and will reduce cases of food poisoning.
