Title: In vitro experiment on the antimicrobial activities of cinnamon extracts to pathogen
Abstract: The research studied the antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether extracts of cinnamon,Cinnamomum cassia Presl,against eight kinds of common pathogens in food. The results revealed that the extracts showed certain antimicrobial activity on bacteria and fungi, and the antimicrobial activity had the selectivity on different strain. The antimicrobial effect of the extracts to the Trichothecium roseum was the highest while to the Staphylococcus aureus was the lowest, moreover, the inhibitory effect against the fungi was stronger than that against the bacteria. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined after 48 h, the MIC of the extracts to most tested pathogens was 0.104 g·mL-1, except the MIC of Alternaria alternate and Fusarium sulphureum was 0.208 g·mL-1.
