| Abstract;The antibacterial action of grated sawa-wasabi and a commercially marketed tube wasabi product on food poisoning bacteria was investigated. In the direct contact method, the sawa-wasabi completely eliminated E. coli, V. parahaemolyticus and B. cereus but showed a weak antibacterial action on S. aureus (MRSA) and S. Typhimurium. On the other hand, the tube wasabi showed antibacterial action only on V. parahaemolyticus and B. cereus but not on other the strains. Antibacterial effect of the volatile components of wasabi were examined by the non-contact method (vapor phase treatment). As a result, the tube wasabi showed antibacterial action on all of the strains tested, while the grated sawa-wasabi showed antibacterial effect only on V. parahaemolyticus. Further, these wasabi products were examined for the persistence of the antibacterial effect from the volatile components. As a result, both of these products showed a strong effect of inhibiting the growth of V. parahaemolyticus, even 3 days after the initiation of the experiment. However, no persistent antibacterial effect was observed on the other strains. (author abst.) |
