Abstract: s:The inhibition effect of apple-polyphenol extracts on microorganisms and the effect of pH value,temperatureand inorganic salts on its antibacterial activities were discussed by the method of Oxford-cup tests.The results showed:apple-polyphenol extracts had stronger inhibition effects on the bacteria and the minimum inhibition concentration(MIC) ofapple-polyphenol etracts on the bacteria such as Bacillus vulgaris , Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas et al was of 0.1%. Theantibacterial activity of apple-polyphenol extracts was stable under heating and the apple-polyphenol extracts had the bestantibacterial effects at pH 5~6 with less than 0.3mol/L inorganic salts.

Key words: apple-polyphenol, antibacterial effect
