Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of the Hedyotis diffusa extracts against food-borne pathogens. First, the Hedyotis diffusa was extracted with methanol at room temperature and the fractionation of the methanol extracts was carried out by using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate, and methanol respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the Hedyotis diffusa extracts was determined by using a paper disc method against food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria. The methanol extracts of Hedyotis diffusa showed the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella flexneri. Synergistic effect in inhibition was observed when Hedyotis diffusa extract was mixed Sophora subprostrata extract as compared to each extracts alone. Finally, the growth inhibition curves were determined by using ethyl acetate extracts of Hedyotis diffusa against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium. The methanol extract of Hedyotis diffusa had strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at the concentration of 4,000 ppm. At this concentration, the growth of Staphylococcus aureus was retarded more than 36 hours and up to 24 hours for Salmonella Typhimurium. In conclusion, the methanol extracts of Hedyotis diffusa inhibit efficiently Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium.
