Abstract :Today, essential oils are considered safe substances and can be used as antibacterial additives. Pimpinella anisum L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Aniseed); and Foeniculum vulgare Mill. var. dulce insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(fennel); species are of great economic importance. It is among the medicinal and aromatic plants cultivated in wide areas in our country. In this study, it was aimed to determine the antimicrobial properties of essential oils obtained from Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and Pimpinella anisum L plants. The essential oils of the species were obtained by using the distillation method. The antimicrobial activities of essential oils by hand were studied using the hollow agar method. Known to be medically important in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products Enterobacter aerogenes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ATCC 13048);, Enterococcus faecalis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ATCC 29212);, Salmonella enteritidis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ATCC 13075);, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ATCC 25923);, Escherichia coli insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ATCC 25922); and Serratia marcescens insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ATCC 13880); evaluated against pathogen and microbial contaminants. While Foeniculum vulgare showed results parallel to the antibiotic used as standard, no antibacterial activity was observed in Pimpinella anisum L.
