Effect of Radish Extract on the Growth of Food-born Microorganisms
무 추출물이 식품관련 미생물의 증식에 미치는 영향
Abstract
To understand the effect of radish on growth of food born microorganisms, mashedflesh radishes were extracted by using acetone and distilled water. Their effect was assayed by measuring the optical density of cultural broth of food born microorganisms. In the experiment, seven strains of yeast were used as the test organism. Acetone extract inhibited growth of the cells of L. plantarum, L. sake and Danmuji film yeast. Growth of the film yeast was drastically inhibited in the concomitant presence of 0.03% extract, while other microbes such as L. faecalis, P. pentosaceus, B/ subtilis and E. coli grew by succeeding cultivation for 4 to 8 hour after addition of the extract. Water extract, on contrast to acetone extract, at he concentrations of 0.1∼1.5% stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Culture of L. faecalis and L. sake showed an optical density higher than that of control by 40∼50 times. The effect was not so apparent against E. coli, S. aureus and Danmuji film yeast.
