Trifoliate orange seed extracts (TSEs) were prepared from different solvents, water (TW), ethanol (TE), and n-hexane (TH), and assessed for their antimicrobial activities against six gram-negative food-borne pathogens (Escherichia coli KCTC 1039, Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43895, Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 3311, Salmonella Typhimurium KCCM 11862, Shigella sonnei KCTC 2518, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802). Among the tested TSEs, TE and TH showed a slight inhibition activity on V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802, but a good growth inhibition activity on Sal. Typhimurium KCCM 11862. TH and TE showed steady growth inhibition activity with increasing growth time after 6 hr when compared to the control (p<0.05). From these results, we confirmed the possibility of TH and TE as antimicrobial materials.

Trifoliate orange seed extracts (TSEs) were made using either distilled water (TW), ethanol (TE), or n-hexane (TH), to measure total polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, and anti-complementary activity. The results showed that the total polyphenol content showed higher value at TE (235.24 ${\mu}g/mL$, p<0.05) than those of TW (132.65 ${\mu}g/mL$) and TH (165.44 ${\mu}g/mL$) at 10 mg/mL and TE exerted the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (61.77%, p<0.05), which occurred in the following order: TE TW (56.87%)>TH (39.78%). The results of ABTS radical scavenging activity showed that TW (34.26%) and TE (31.81%) showed similar activities, which were higher than TH (12.74%, p<0.05). Anti-complementary activity of TE (61% at 500 ${\mu}g/mL$) showed a higher activity when compared with the positive control (60% at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$) polysaccharide-K (PSK), a known immuno-active polysaccharide from Coriolus versicolor. Consequently, among TSEs, TE is a byproduct from trifoliate orange and could be an important source of dietary polyphenolic antioxidant compounds and immunopotentiating activity, including complement activation.

물(water, TW), 에탄올(ethanol, TE) 및 핵산(n-hexane, TH)을 이용하여 탱자씨 추출물(trifoliate orange seed extracts, TSEs)을 각각 제조한 후 그람양성 식중독균 6종(Bacillus cereus KCCM 11341, Bacillus subtilis KCTC 1022, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 12692, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 19111, Streptococcus mutans KCTC 3065 및 Yersinia enterocolitica KCCM 41657)에 대한 항균활성과 Lactobacillus acidophilus IFO 3025에 대한 프레바이오틱 효과(prebiotic effect)를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 탱자씨 핵산추출물(TH)은 S. aureus ATCC 19111에 대해 배양시간이 증가함에 따라 대조군에 비해 강한 증식저해활성을 보였으며, 탱자씨 에탄올 추출물(TE)은 약간의 증식저해활성을 보였다. 특히, 배양 81시간 후 대조군은 90.31%의 증식활성을 보인 것에 반해 탱자씨 핵산추출물과 에탄올추출물은 64.95%와 75.50%의 증식활성을 각각 보였다. 탱자씨 추출물의 Lb. acidophilus IFO 3025에 대한 프레바이오틱 효과는 대조군에 비해 증식활성을 보이지는 않았으나, 적어도 생육저해효과를 보이지는 않았다. 따라서 탱자씨의 핵산 및 에탄올 추출물은 S. aureus ATCC 19111에 대한 항균활성물질로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.
