Abstract:
:A total of 75 compounds, including antioxidants, preservatives, gallic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters, hydroquinones, hydroxyquinolines, phenol derivatives, and related compounds, were screened for their antibotulinal activity in prereduced Thiotone-yeast extract-glucose broth. The most effective inhibitors of Clostridium botulinum growth and toxin production were long-chain esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and gallic acid, antioxidants, and butylphenol derivatives. The antioxidant nordihydroguaiaretic acid at 100 microgram/ml delayed the growth and toxin production for the entire incubation period (7 days). Other antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, and tert-butylhydroquinone were also very effective (at 200 to 400 microgram/ml) for the inhibition of C. botulinum growth and toxin production. Toxin was detected, although no detectable growth was found by daily absorbance measurements, in the prereduced medium containing 50 to 400 microgram of 8-hydroxyquinoline, pentylphenol, tert-pentylphenol, 3,5-ditert-butylphenol, 3,5-ditert-butylcatechol, (2-hydroxydiphenyl)methane, or (4-hydroxydiphenyl)methane per ml.
