Methyl Mercaptan에 대한 식물 유래 폴리페놀 화합물의 탈취 효과

Abstract

This study was conducted to elucidate deodorizing effect of polyphenolic phytochemicals against methyl mercaptan. Eckol, dieckol, catechol, catechin, phloroglucinol, chlorogenic acid, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatehcin gallate (ECG), epigallocatehcin (EGC), caffeic acid and tannic acid were used as polyphenolic phytochemicals. The deodorizing activity against methyl mercaptan was represented as IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration). methyl mercaptan was determined by GC-FPD. Dieckol (72.2±9.9 nM), one kind of phlorotannin, indicated the highest deodorizing activity against methyl mercaptan than sodium copper chlorophyllin (835.70 ± 24.36 nM) which known as a commercial deodorant. The high antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans was observed in catechol (30.0±0.0 mm) by paper disc. Also, polyphenolic compounds such as catechol, EGC, eckol and dieckol have a high antimicrobial activity in the the minimun inhibitory concentration (MIC) in 0.25 mg/mL concentration. Inhibitory activity of glucosyltransferase (GTase) was measured depending on the concentration. Among them, eckol (98.6%) exhibited the highest inhibitory activity in 1 mg/mL concentration. In conclusion, this study confirmed that polyphenolic phytochemicals have the deodoring activity against methyl mercaptan as well as antimicrobial activity on S. mutans.
