In Silico Analysis of Terpinen‐4‐ol as a Sustainable Anti‐Biofilm Agent Targeting <i>E. coli</i> Outer Membrane Protein OmpX

, suggesting good bioavailability and membrane permeability. Cytotoxicity predictions in human cell lines using CLC-Prd showed low toxicity probabilities. Hydrophobicity plot analysis of OmpX (PDB ID: 1QJ8) revealed a unique eight-stranded antiparallel β-barrel structure, with hydrophobic residues on the outer surface interacting with the lipid bilayer and hydrophilic residues lining the inner pore. These computational results underscore the potential of terpinen-4-ol as a promising anti-biofilm agent for sustainable food preservation, further experimental validation, and application in the food industry.
