The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC)of cinnamon EO was similar for both bacteria (1.0 mg/ml)while the minimum bactericide concentration (MBC)were 4.0 mg/ml and 2.0 mg/ml for E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. GC-MS analysis confirmed that cinnamaldehyde was the major constituent in cinnamon EO (92.40 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EkieX1ccZr5YteR2j7B4l5H7WB465j_K/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
