Solubility of methyl paraben and MIC to E. coli in non-ionic solutions

비이온성 계면활성제 용액에서 methyl paraben의 용해도와 대장균에 대한 최소억제농도의 변화

Increasing the concentration of the nonionic surfactants the solubility of methyl paraben was increased. This is called the solubilization phenomenon and caused inactivation of the preservatives used. The MICs(minimum inhibitory concentrations) on E. coli were increased at the same time. So the relation between the solubility and the mic could be expressed as $S-S_0=R^{\prime}/R^{\prime\prime}\;(M-M_0)$ and in this case $R^{\prime}/R^{\prime\prime}$ was about 2.

1 계면활성제의 농도가 증가하면 용해도와 최소억제농도는 일정하게 증가한다. 2 계연활성제에 결합되어 있는 지방산의 탄소수가 증가하면 용해도와 최소억제농도는 증가한다. 3 용해도와 최소억제농도와의 관계는 $S-S_0=R^{\prime}/R^{\prime\prime}\;(M-M_0)$로써, 본 실험에서 $R^{\prime}/R^{\prime\prime}$는 대략 2가 되었다.
