A Water Soluble Component with Antimicrobial Acitivity from Pomegranate Rind : An Ingredient in an Instrument Disinfectant
Abstract:
A water soluble component from pomegranate rind (WSC-P)
which possessed an antimicrobial activity was applied as an
ingredient in an instrument disinfectant. This "herbal" disinfectant
was designated as pomegranate disinfectant (PO). It was
composed of WSC-P, which was mixed with 0.8% (w/v) sodium
lauryl sulfate (SLS) in water before use. PO showed more than
10 times greater antimicrobial potential than a preparation made
from WSC-P in water alone. The overall study revealed that the
effective concentration of PO for use was at least 1 % (w/v).
General contaminants were completely eliminated when they
exposed to this herbal disinfectant at 1, 2 and 4% (w/v) for 30,
15 and 5 min. respectively, while contaminants generally known
to be resistant to common antimicrobials required 60, 60 and
30 min, respectively. The disinfection rate of PO increased with
temperature. Moreover, the efficacy of this disinfectant at 1 %
(w/v) was promising for one time use, while repeated uses of 2
and 3 times were effective at 2 and 4% (w/v), respectively.
