Analysis of Chemical Components of Volatile Oil from Hainan Alpinia katsumadai Hayata and Study on Its Antimicrobial Activity Against Listeria monocytogenes
The types and content of chemical components of volatile oil from Hainan Alpinia katsumadai Hayata are analyzed,and the antimicrobial activity of volatile oil against Listeria monocytogenes is determined.The volatile oil is extracted from Alpinia katsumadai Hayata by steam distillation method and its chemical components are detected and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).The drug sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes to volatile oil is determined by filter paper diffusion method,and the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC)are determined by trace double dilution method.The results show that the yield of volatile oil from Alpinia katsumadai Hayata is 1.26%,and 107 compounds are isolated and identified.The inhibitory zone diameter of volatile oil against Listeria monocytogenes is 15.44 mm,indicating that it has high sensitivity.MIC and MBC are 0.078,0.312 5 mg/mL respectively.The yield of volatile oil from Hainan Alpinia katsumadai Hayata is higher,the types of volatile chemical components are rich,and it has a good antimicrobial effect on Listeria monocytogenes.This study has provided data support for the breeding of excellent Alpinia katsumadai Hayata varieties,and also provided theoretical basis and references for the application of volatile oil from Alpinia katsumadai Hayata in the development of natural food antimicrobial agents.
