Comments

● The goal is clear ● It is clear what the study found and how they did it ● The title is informative and relevant References: ● Related ● recent ● Pointing correctly ● Appropriate main studies are included on abstract, title, references

Comments on introduction/background

The introduction is good as it explains what is used from the plants under study and the aim of the research is to use these extracts as anti-bacterial agents that cause food poisoning and previous studies, but they are rather long. It is best to summarize it with the main points of interest centered on the plants of the present study.

● The topic selection process is clear and the variables are appropriately defined and measured ● The study methods are good, but they lack documentation of the main sources of the methods used Also, it is better to use a statistical analysis method to compare the results obtained

Comments on data and results

● Presenting the data in an appropriate and good way ● Related and clearly displayed tables and figures ● The results in § 3.1 refer to the weights of extracts in grams, but they are not clear in the first table in terms of the same values. ● Labeling titles, columns, and rows correctly and clearly ● Text in the results adds clarity to the data ● There was no statistical analysis showing the significant differences between the types of bacteria for each concentration of the types of extracts, the difference between the types of extracts for each specific type of bacteria, as well as the overlap between the types of bacteria and the types of extracts and the different concentrations ● The results under study are useful and good.

Comments on discussion and conclusions

●Discussing the results from multiple angles and putting them in their appropriate context, but it is better to address the types of active compounds present in each of the types of extracts of the current study. ● The conclusions answer the objectives of the study and are supported by the references. ● The limitations of the study opportunities to inform future research.
