  • Diaper rash is found on the skin inside of babys diaper area. Most diaper rashes are caused by prolonged contact with the moisture, germs, and ammonia of the stool and urine. Some diaper rashes are caused by fungi infection such as candida albicans and Preteus vulgaris. In this study, Candida albicans was used as a test microorganism and experiment was carried out to inhibit diaper rash. Handsheets were treated with chitosan oligosaccharide, bamboo extractives, as well as mixture of monolaurin as an emulsifier and bamboo extractives. Both shake flask method and halo test were applied in order to examine the antimicrobial activity of each sample. It was found from both results of the halo test and shake flask method that handsheets treated with chitisan oligosaccharide or bamboo extractives showed antimicrobial property. In the treatment of bamboo extractives without emulsifier, no distinct difference in antimicrobial effect was found between bamboo branch and bamboo leaves extractives. In case of mixture of bamboo extractives and emulsifier, the result also suggested that bamboo branch showed better syngergistic effect than bamboo leaves. Both chitosan oligosaccharide and bamboo extractive can be used as antifungal agents against Candida albicans for making diaper.

  • Chitosan oligosaccharide, chitosan polysaccharide and monolaurin were used to impart the antimicrobial properties onto paper for food products . Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) was used as test microorganism and shake flask test was carried out in order to examine the antimicrobial activity of each sample. Chitosan oligosaccaride showed the greatest antimicrobial effect among them and gave the promising result even at the concentration of 0.005%. Its antimicrobial power was enhanced when it is used with nomolaurin together. Chitosan oligosaccharide improved the tensile strength of antimicrobial paper.

  • Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and antimicrobial effects of glycerol monolaurate (monolaurin) and organic acids, either alone or in combination, against Escherichia coli O157:H7 in tryptic soy broth were determined. MIC values of monolaurin(ML), acetic (AA), citric (CA), lactic (LA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) were 300$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL (0.03%), 1250$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL(0.125%), 5000$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL(0.5%), 2500$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL(0.25%) and 2500$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL(0.25), respectively. When 150$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL of ML was combined with 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL AA, 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL HCl and 125$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL LA, the combined agents did not increase the inhibitory effect of the most active single compound alone. This result indicates that there was little interaction between ML and A, HCl and LA. However, the combination of 150$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL ML and 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL CA synergistically inhibited growth of E. coli O157:H7. The present study showed that the nature of combined antimicrobial response against E. coli O157:H7 was complex, but this information would be useful for determining interaction that could compromise effectiveness in food systems.

  • The characteristics of ice cream, such as type-keeping viscosity, turbidity and stability of emulsion, were studied with the different composition of fatty acid of monoglyceride. The effect of saturated fatty acid of monoglycerides such as monolaurin, monomyristin, monopalmitin and monostearin on the characteristics of ice cream did not show any difference. The unsaturated fatty acid of monoglycerides, however, such as monocaprin and monoolein, was drastically enhanced the viscosity and easily happened the overrun of ice cream mixture which were resulted in the condensation of the fat droplet. Also the condensed fat droplet had the sterical network-structure. When the ratio of monostearin and monoolein becomed about 30:70, especially, it was confirmed the curdling of fat sphere increase to a maximun so that type-keeping and heat stability of ice cream were improved.

  • 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.
