Abstract The purpose of this project is to study the antimicrobial effects of different plant-based flavour compounds on oral bacteria. As these compounds are used in various foods (e.g. chewing gum) and oral hygiene products, this project will attempt to provide a recommendation for the ideal flavour compounds to be used in benefitting oral health. With this information, oral health professionals will be able to recommend particular product flavours over others to their patients.
