1. Introdução

Natural products have been used by humankind since time immemorial, and the search for relief and cure of diseases through the ingestion of herbs and their derivatives was one of the first ways to combat ailments (Zonner et al., 2022). According to Newman and Cragg (2020) most of the medicines on the market are derived directly or indirectly from plants, microorganisms and other living beings.

Given that the causative agents of these diseases move between human, animal, environmental and food habitats, the use of these natural products can be considered an integrative “One Health” practice, if used in prophylaxis and complementary treatment against the pathogens that permeate these axes, which, from the point of view of One Health, are closely interdependent (Diniz et al. 2022; OHC, 2017).

Among the products that can be obtained from plants, essential oils stand out, whose bioactive properties have been widely evidenced, especially their antimicrobial properties (Brito-junior et al., 2025). The species Coriandrum sativum, popularly known as coriander, stands out for being an herb with medicinal and nutritional potential, whose essential oil has already demonstrated pharmacological activities, such as antibiofilm, antifungal and antineoplastic (Eid et al., 2021; Kačániová et al., 2020).

In view of the problem of resistance to conventional antimicrobials and the possible spread of these pathogens through food, infections caused by the ingestion of these microorganisms are becoming increasingly difficult to treat, causing not only more medical expenses, but also damage to the economy and trade (Caldas et al., 2020; Almeida et al., 2020; OPAS, 2022). In these circumstances, essential oils can be presented as an alternative and/or complement to antibiotic therapy and food preservatives (Santos et al., 2024; Medeiros et al. 2023).

Considering that the chemical substances involved in the composition of these oils can vary depending on the region, climate, extraction method and plant organ used for extraction, it is necessary for their pharmacological properties to be elucidated using different methodologies in order to have a reliable assessment of the results found (Khodaei et al., 2021). From this perspective, the application of review studies is emphasized, in order to help clarify and synthesize the various conclusions about a hypothesis, since it brings together the results of several studies already completed around it (Hulley et al., 2015).

The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review and critical analysis of the antibacterial potential of Coriandrum sativum essential oil against food-borne bacteria, synthesizing evidence from the existing literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of its efficacy and possible applications in food safety.

2. Material and Methods

2.1. Search strategies and question elaboration

To carry out this research, the methodology proposed by the Cochrane Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol with amendments (Moher et al., 2015) were followed. The acronym PIO [P: Population = food-borne pathogenic bacteria; I: Intervention = Coriandrum sativum essential oil; and O: Outcome = antibacterial activity] was used to draw up the guiding question for the study: Does Coriandrum sativum essential oil have antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogenic bacteria?

The search for primary articles was carried out in three electronic databases: Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed (via the National Library of Medicine) and Scopus (Elsevier). The descriptors came from the Health Science Descriptors (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings Terms (MeSH). The terms combined in the databases were: ((oil) AND (“Coriandrum sativum”) OR (coriander) AND (antibacterial) OR (“antibacterial activity”) AND (“Foodborne Pathogens”)).

2.2. Inclusion criteria and selection process

The articles were selected from November 1, 2023 to April 9, 2024. The inclusion criteria adopted for selecting the sample were: studies that used the essential oil obtained from the species Coriandrum sativum and food-borne bacteria, with clearly described methodology, published in English or Portuguese language journals, with a time frame of the last 10 years (2014-2024).

Exclusion criteria were: publications that fall into the various types of review (narrative, integrative, systematic or meta-analysis); research that uses different types of extracts; studies that are restricted to bacteria of clinical or standard origin or that do not discuss the antibacterial action of essential oil. No manual searches were carried out on the bibliographical references of the journals identified.

After identifying the initial sample, duplicates were excluded using the resources offered by Mendeley Reference Manager and manual checking. Subsequently, an exploratory reading of the titles and abstracts was carried out to select articles that correlated with the proposed theme and that met the inclusion criteria. From this stage, the full text of the highlighted manuscripts was read in order to extract only those studies that met all the eligibility parameters established. The final sample was then determined, enabling analytical reading to sort and summarize information that answers the research's guiding question.

2.3. Data extraction and analysis

An electronic spreadsheet was formulated by the authors to ensure consistency/reliability of the data, filled in with information on authors, year of publication, objectives and results obtained.

2.4. Bias risk

The review was carried out in pairs and independently, and the analysis of the risk of bias of the study and the quality of the methodology used were carried out in accordance with the PRISMA-P recommendations. Priority was given to the clear description of information, and in the event of peer disagreement, a third reviewer was involved, avoiding potential bias and conflict of interest through blinding, masking the names of authors and journals.

3. Results

Based on the proposed methodology, 1.374 articles were initially identified. Based on the inclusion criteria used, 66 articles were assessed for eligibility and 7 studies were chosen for the review, as described in detail in Figure 1.

Fluxogram of the search strategy based on the PRISMA protocol.

The main results of the selected studies show that the essential oil of C. sativum has antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as described and summarized in Table 1, which also shows the author, year and objective of each study.

Based on the aforementioned studies, it was possible to see that the essential oil obtained from Coriandrum sativum showed antibacterial activity against various food-borne pathogens. According to Marques and Trindade (2022) the main bacterial agents transmitted by water and food in Brazil are Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and S. aureus, which makes the search for drugs that have an inhibitory action on these microorganisms essential to ensure the viability of treating infections caused by these pathogens.

4. Discussion

In this perspective, Dima et al. (2016) sought to test the antibacterial properties of the essential oil of Coriandrum sativum seeds against food-borne E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. and S. aureus through the disk diffusion method in solid medium, using a 6mm paper disk impregnated with 5 μL of the oil, and observed zones of inhibition for the 3 strains (18mm for E. coli, 17mm for Salmonella spp. and 11.5 mm for S. aureus), and 11.5 mm for S. aureus).

In a further study, Dima et al. (2016) tested the efficacy of the compound over a 10-day period, in which the pathogens were inoculated without and with 30 μL of the compound, at a temperature of 10ºC in order to simulate the storage of some food products, and it was observed that the specific propagation index of the three pathogens in the presence of coriander essential oil registered negative values during the first 6 days, which for some food products (e.g. chilled fresh meat products) is more than their usual shelf life under the circumstances tested, showing it to be a promising compound for prospective food preservatives.

Bag and Chattopadhyay (2015) also sought to elucidate the antibacterial potential of C. sativum EO against different food-borne bacterial species, evaluating the diameter of the zone of inhibition against the 3 most commonly found in AWD outbreaks, and observed that the compound produced a DZI of 17. 92 for L. monocytogenes, 23.24 for S. aureus, 16.10 for E. coli and 11.61 for S. typhimurium, making it a promising antibacterial, as it presented an IZD > 11mm for all strains.

From this perspective, the authors sought to elucidate the synergistic potential of coriander EO with EO by means of a time-kill assay, in which it was possible to show that bacterial colony counts were reduced by >2log10 when compared to the bacterial colony counts of their individual effects in 24h, demonstrating that the potential of EO can be increased when associated (Bag and Chattopadhyay, 2015).

In this context, a study carried out by Pellegrini et al. (2020) presents promising results regarding the use of coriander seed essential oil (Coriandrum sativum) against Salmonella enterica and its serovars isolated from minimally processed fresh fruit and vegetables, in which it was possible to evidence bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity in vitro, of the oil at a concentration of 5 μL/mL-1 for S. Derby and S. Thompson. In addition, they also point out that this concentration was able to reduce the growth of Salmonella spp. artificially inoculated into carrots, reinforcing that this compound could become a possible alternative in food preservation, as also highlighted by Dima et al. (2016).

In addition to evaluating the antibacterial action of coriander essential oil in isolation, Ramos et al. (2022) also evaluated the compound's synergistic potential when associated with methylparaben, in which it was observed that 0.62 mg/ml of the substance was the lowest concentration of EO capable of inhibiting the growth of S. enterica serotype typhi, reinforcing its potential in combating different strains and serovars of Salmonella spp. Furthermore, the association of coriander with MTP was able to reduce the MTP MIC from 1.87-0.23 mg/ml to 0.93-0.23 mg/ml in the presence of 0.15 mg/ml of oil, demonstrating a modulating effect for the essential oil, which is an important effect from an economic point of view, since the association makes it possible to use a smaller amount of the preservative in food to obtain the same effect as a higher dosage.

Basavegowda and Baek (2021) point out in their research that it is possible to use food packaging with essential oils, either by encapsulating them with polymers, liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles to guarantee their stability, in order to extend the shelf life of the food and still maintain the organoleptic characteristics of flavor, aroma, color and texture of the packaged products almost unchanged. Moreover, Tomić et al. (2023) emphasize that the addition of essential oils in active packaging formulations represents a strategic advancement in addressing microbiological contamination. Their presence not only enhances the antimicrobial action of the packaging but also provides continuous protection during food storage and distribution.

This added functionality increases the effectiveness of conventional systems by creating an active barrier against spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, the proper incorporation of essential oils is a key factor in raising the safety and quality standards of packaged food products. In this context, the use of essential oils to combat food-borne pathogens stands out as a key strategy to enhance consumer safety. Their incorporation into packaging systems reduces microbial contamination and, consequently, the risk of illnesses caused by ingesting these microorganisms. As the demand for safer, more natural food preservation methods grows, essential oils offer a promising and sustainable alternative that aligns with both industry goals and public health priorities.

In addition to the three pathogens considered classic in AWD, as they are known clinically and epidemiologically, it is necessary to elucidate the antibacterial potential of coriander seed against other pathogens which, although they are not the main microorganisms promoting AWD, have been identified as etiological agents involved in various outbreaks or epidemics in several countries around the world. According to the epidemiological overview of AWD in Brazil carried out by Marques and Trindade (2022), strains of Klebsiella spp., Listeria spp., Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp., Enterococcus spp. and others have already been identified in cases of AWD, making them also relevant in studies seeking antimicrobial drugs

Against this backdrop, Yildiz (2016) and Özkinali et al. (2017) present data on the antibacterial activity of Oe from both the leaves and seeds of C. sativum against various foodborne pathogens or those associated with AWD. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the seeds ranged from 25 μg/mL to 3,125 μg/mL for strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Listeria innocua and Listeria monocytogenes, while the leaves ranged from 31. 3 to 500 μL against strains of Acinetobacter lwoffi BC, Bacillus cereus BC 6830, Bacillus subtilis BC 5211, Flavobacterium indologenes BC 1520, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae ozaenae BC32, Klebsiella pneumoniae BC 1749, Listeria monocytogenes BC 8353, Proteus mirabilis BC 2644, Providencia alcalifaciens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa BC 4372, Pseudomonas fluorescens BC 7324, Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes BC 3445, RSSK 95091, Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 176, Yersinia enterocolitica BC 0184.

In addition, using the disc diffusion technique, it was possible to determine the diameter of the inhibition zones promoted by the essential oil of the leaves, observing a variation of 7-26mm. Different methodologies have shown that its use can be beneficial for both the medical and food industries, in terms of combating food-borne bacteria (Yildiz, 2016; Özkinali et al., 2017).

In a test carried out by Rezaei et al. (2015), it was emphasized that the essential oil obtained from different parts of C. sativum has bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity in vitro, and that this action increases at high concentrations (320 μg/mL), thus being able to promote different levels of inhibition for both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, however, most of the studies presented present a sample number of predominantly gram-negative strains, thus lacking studies focusing on the action of the compound against gram-positives.

Such antibacterial action can be attributed to the phenolic compounds present in the chemical composition of the oil. These compounds contain an active hydroxyl group (-OH), which can interact with the plasma membrane, causing its rupture and resulting in the loss of cellular contents. Furthermore, these compounds facilitate the movement of electrons that act as proton exchangers, decreasing the pH gradient across the microbial cell membrane. This sequence of events leads to the collapse of the proton motive force, depletion of the ATP pool, and consequently, cell death (Chibane et al., 2019).

5. Conclusion

In view of the data gathered, it can be concluded that C. sativum essential oil (EO) may have antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogens and could become a promising source for technological prospecting of antibacterial drugs and/or food preservatives. However, further research is needed not only to better elucidate the mechanism of action, but also to evaluate its effects on bacterial strains isolated from different sources, such as meat products, and its degree of toxicity so that the best use of coriander essential oil for practical applications can be ascertained.
