The present invention provides substances having sufficiently antibacterial activity against heat-resistant spore-forming bacteria that they can be used to improve the shelf life of beverages and processed foods, as well as to control the growth of microorganisms in cosmetics.
The present invention provides a catechin ester in which at least one of the hydroxyl groups of a catechin is esterified with a medium-chain fatty acid. This medium-chain fatty acid ester of a catechin, which may be used either alone or as a composition, shows a strong growth suppressing effect on heat-resistant spore-forming bacteria and, if added to foods or beverages, can prevent them from rotting or deterioration and, if added to cosmetics, can prevent their rotting or deterioration.
本发明提供的物质对耐热孢子形成菌具有足够的抗菌活性,可用于改善饮料和加工食品的保质期,以及控制化妆品中微
生物的生长。
本发明提供了一种
儿茶素酯,其中
儿茶素的至少一个羟基与中链
脂肪酸酯化。这种
儿茶素的中链
脂肪酸酯既可单独使用,也可作为组合物使用,对耐热孢子形成菌有很强的生长抑制作用,如果添加到食品或饮料中,可防止它们腐烂或变质,如果添加到化妆品中,可防止它们腐烂或变质。
