Abstract
The solvent extracts of Houttuynia cordata root, which were extracted by using several solvents with different polarities, were prepared for utility as a natural preservatives. The antimicrobial activity was investigated by disc diffusion method against 22 microorganisms consisting of food borne pathogens, food poisioning microorganisms and food-related bacteria. The extraction yields were 15.7%, 3.7%, 0.13%, 0.5% and 5.9% in ethanol, chloroform ethylacetate, butanol and aqueous fractions, respectively. Antimicrobial activities were shown in ethanol, ethylacetate and butanol fraction of Houttuynia cordata root. However chloroform and aqueous fractions showed weak antimicrobial activity against the tested bacteria. Among the four fractions, ethylacetate fraction showed the strongest antimicrobial activities against microorganisms tested, such as B. megaterium, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and S. typhimurium. The polyphenolic compounds widely occuring in the traditional medicine plants have been reported to possess high antimicrobial activity. The polyphenolic compound in ethylacetate and butanol fraction were 35.9% and 16.0%, ethanol, chloroform and aqueous fraction were 5.0%, 2.3% and 1.7%, respectively. There are some relationship between antimicrobial activity and polyphenol content in natural plants. The ethylacetate fraction could be suitable for the development of a food preservative.
