Abstract

In this study, the effect of storage on the antibacterial and antifungal activities of Mentha piperita L. essential oil was investigated. Essential oils of oven-dried plant samples were obtained by hydro-distillation, analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and stored in a refrigerator at 4 ⁰ C and in a freezer at -20 ⁰ C for one, three and six months. Antibacterial and antifungal activity of the essential oils against some grampositive (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus), gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Yersinia enterocolitica) bacterial strains and fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger) were evaluated by agar well diffusion method. The antibacterial and antifungal effects of essential oils increased during storage. In general, essential oils stored at -20 ⁰ C produced more antimicrobial activity than those stored at +4 ⁰ C. The most affected microorganisms by essential oils were Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris and Aspergillus niger. The results of the present study revealed that antibacterial and antifungal properties of Mentha piperita L. essential oil could be preserved and even improved when stored in proper temperature and period.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Mentha piperita L. uçucu yağının antibakteriyel ve antifungal aktiviteleri üzerine depolamanın etkisi araştırılmıştır. Kurutma fırınında kurutulmuş bitki örneklerinin uçucu yağları, hidrodistilasyon yöntemiyle elde edilmiş, gaz kromatografisi/kütle spektrometrisi ile bileşen analizi yapılmış ve buzdolabında 4 ⁰ C'de, derin dondurucuda ise -20 0C'de bir, üç ve altı ay süreyle depolanmıştır. Uçucu yağlar bazı gram pozitif (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis ve Micrococcus luteus), gram negatif (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumonia, Yersinia enterocolitica) bakteri suşları ve mantarlar (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger) üzerinde agar kuyusu difüzyon yöntemi ile denenmiştir. Depolama süresi ile uçucu yağların antibakteriyel ve antifungal aktiviteleri artmış, genel olarak -20 ⁰ C'de depolanan uçucu yağlar, +4 ⁰ C'de depolananlardan daha fazla antimikrobiyal aktivite ortaya çıkartmıştır. Uçucu yağlardan en çok etkilenen mikroorganizmalar Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris ve Aspergillus niger olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, Mentha piperita L. uçucu yağının antibakteriyel ve antifungal özelliklerinin uygun sıcaklık ve sürede saklandığında korunabileceğini ve hatta geliştirilebileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
