Abstract

Abstract: The antimicrobial activity to foodborne pathogens bacteria of Thymol was studied by means of filter paper disks,the method of Oxferd-cup tests and diffused tests. The test obtained the minimum inhibition concentrations of Thymol to the 10 kinds of foodborne pathogens bacteria,that is, Proteus Vulgaris, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococus thermophilus, Hansenula Anomala, Saccharmuces cerevisiae, Aspergillus Niger and Aspergillus flavus. The result showed that Thymol had obvious antimicrobial activity to those foodborne pathogens bacteria and the bacteristatic spectrum was wide.The minimum inhibition concentrations of Thymol to Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus Subtilis，Escherichia Coli were 10,20 and 20μg/mL.
