Abstract
The inhibitory effect of 0.16-0.2% potassium sorbate, 0.2% sodium benzoate, 0.2% K2S2O5 and mixtures of these preservatives on Aerobacter aerogenes, Bacillus subtilis and Candida krusei isolated from arecanuts was investigated. Cultures were inoculated into sterile media (of pH 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.5) containing the preservatives under test and incubated for less than20 wk. Microbial growth was evaluated by nephelometry after 0, 24, 48 and 72 h, and thereafter at weekly intervals. Viability of the microorganisms was determined at weekly intervals. All the preservatives tested were inhibitory at low pH; at high pH, a mixture of 0.1% sorbate and 0.1% benzoate was ineffective. The preservatives had microbicidal effects on Aerobacter aerogenes and Candida krusei (viability being lost after approx. 3 wk) but only bacteriostatic effects on Bacillus subtilis.
