Antimicrobial Activity and Antimutagenesis of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia Blume) Bark Extract
계피추출물의 항균 작용과 항돌연변이원성
Abstract
In order to develop antimicrobial substances, many kinds of medicinal herbs were extracted with absolute ethanol and then antimicrobial activities against various microorganisms were investigated. Ethanol extract from cinnamon bark showed the strongest antimicrobial activity on the growth of almost all submitted microorganisms. Specially, molds such as Aspergillus sp. and Pencillium sp. were inhibited strongly. Therefore, the crude antimicrobial substance from the ethanol extract was fractionated with various solvents such as n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butyl alcohol and then their antimicrobial activities were tested. Among the various solvent fractions from the ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction was the best in antimicrobial activity especially against molds. There were no significant changes in antimicrobial activity of the n-hexane fraction by heat treatment at
계피로부터 항균성 물질은 ethanol로 추출하고 다시 여러 가지 유기용매로 분획하여 항균물질의 분획별 항균성과 안정성을 조사하고 균종별 항균효과를 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 계피의 ethanol 추출물을 n-haxane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol 등으로 분획한 결과 n-hxane 분획물의 항균력이 가장 우수하였다. 2. 계피의 n-hexane 분획물은 균종별로 차이는 다소 있으나 최저증식억제농도는 세균과 효모의 경우 각각 약
