Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate antibacterial activities of essential oil from C. morifolium against four Grampositive bacteria and six Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of the oils was determined by agar-well diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC). Essential oil of C. morifolium had a large inhibition zones especially against Salmonella enterica(21 mm) and Bacillus cereus(19 mm). Essential oil of C. morifolium generally showed higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. MIC of essential oil from C. morifolium was 5 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against ten food-borne pathogens. MBC values were determined to be from 5 to 20 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against eight bacteria except Salmonella choleraesuis and Listeria monocytogenes. Therefore, the essential oil of C. morifolium and its components have a potent antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogens, and is expected to be used as a novel food preservative.

국화 정유의 식중독균에 대한 항균력을 검증하기 위해 국화 정유와 그 주성분인 camphor, chrysanthemyl alcohol, $\alpha$-pinene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-thujone를 10종 균주에 대하여 agar-well diffusion 분석법으로 생육 여부를 분서하였다. 실험 결과 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 Gram 양성균과 음성균 모두에 대해서 탁월한 항균 효과가 나타났다. Agar-well diffusion 분석법 결과 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 Gram 음성균보다 Gram 양성균에 대해서 강력한 활성을 나타내었다. 국화 정유의 minimum inhibitory concentration은 모든 균주에 대하여 5 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 균의 생장을 저해하는 효과가 나타났고, minimum bacteriocidal concentration은 S. choleraesuis와 L. monocytogenes에 대해서는 시험농도 내에서 사멸효과가 관찰되지 않았으나, 다른 균주에 대해서는 5~20 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 살균력이 나타났다. 또한 액체 배양중의 항균효과를 조사한 결과, 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 24시간 동안 꾸준히 항균력이 지속되었다. 따라서 camphor, chrysanthemyl alcohol, $\alpha$-pinene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-thujone를 조성분으로 함유한 국화 정유성분은 10종의 식중독균에 대한 항균활성이 입증되어, 천연 항균제재로서 식품보존료로의 이용이 가능하리라 생각된다.
