  • The mode of the combined effect of adipic acid and medium chain monoglycerides was investigated by using nine strain. Though monoglycerides alone had little antibacterial activity against gram negative strains, the combined use with adipic acid showed much higher activity against others of gram positive strains as well as gram negative strains. But exceptionally, it seemed difficult practically to prevent the growth of lactic acid bacteria completely by the combined use of adipic acid and monoglyceride. For yeast and mold, monoglycerides alone had a high activity but adipic acid had a little activity. In antibacterial mechanism, we thought that adipic acid acted on the cell envelope and then monoglyceride acted on the altered cell.
