Classic food preservation methods do not guarantee to inhibit Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes growth. The application of natural antibacterial agent is an alternative way to control their growth. Asia herbs, Chrysanthemum indicum, Centella asiatica, and Andrographis paniculata were used in this experiment to test their antibacterial activity under low pH stress. Their antibacterial activities of 95% ethanolic crude extracts were tested on B. cereus and L. monocytogenes 10403S under different low pH stress by agar disc diffusion ...

Herb extract becomes the great interesting functional ingredient. Acacia concinna -poi pod) is a potential herb as the functional ingredient. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of extraction solvent and time on antibacterial activity of dry A. concinna Bacillus cereus. The agar disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of A. concinna ts using Muller Hinton Agar media (MHA). The 20 g dry A. concinna solvents; water, 95% ethanol and ...
