Abstract

This research aims to reveal the antimicrobial activity of chitosan-based edible films containing different mushroom extracts and plant essential oils. In this study, edible films were produced using the essential oils of Satureja cuneifolia Ten., Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson subsp. typhoides (Brig.) Harley var. typhoides (L.) Hudson and extracts of Amanita caesarea (Scop.) Pers. and Boletus reticulatus Schaeff. collected from different localities of Osmaniye province. The antimicrobial activities of these films were investigated on Escherichia coli by using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. At the end of the research, it was determined that the edible film obtained by adding S. cuneifolia Ten. essential oil (3%) had the highest antimicrobial activity. And also, it could be said that all the edible films produced had antimicrobial activity.

Farklı makromantar ekstraktları ve bitki uçucu yağları eklenerek üretilen kitosan bazlı yenebilir filmlerin antimikrobiyal aktiviteleri

Abstract

Bu araştırma, farklı mantar ekstraktı ve bitki uçucu yağı içeren kitosan temelli yenilebilir filmlerin antimikrobiyal aktivitesini açığa çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Osmaniye’nin farklı lokalitelerinden toplanan Satureja cuneifolia Ten., Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson subsp. typhoides (Brig.) Harley var. typhoides (L.) Hudson’un uçucu yağları ve Amanita caesarea (Scop.) Pers. ve Boletus reticulatus Schaeff. ekstraktları kullanılarak yenebilir filmler üretilmiştir. Üretilen bu filmlerin Escherichia coli üzerindeki antimikrobiyal aktiviteleri Kirby-Bauer disk difüzyon testi kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda, S. cuneifolia Ten.’in uçucu yağının (%3) ilave edilmesiyle üretilen yenilebilir filmin en yüksek antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, üretilen tüm yenebilir filmlerin antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğu söylenebilir.
