Abstract:

The essential oil of Guangxi Zingiber corallinum Hance was used as the experimental material to measure the components thereof. Its antibacterial/antifungal abilities against 8 kinds of bacteria and fungi were also studied, such as Bacillus megaterium and Chaetomium globosum. The components of Zingiber corallinum Hance essential oil was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Its inhibition zone was determined by disk diffusion method, and its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) or minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were determined by tube dilution method. The results show that there are 36 kinds of components detected in the Zingiber corallinum Hance essential oil from this region, and its main components include sabinene (27.87%), terpinen-4-ol (22.57%) , triquinacene 1,4-bis(methoxy)-(10.67%) and so on. Other trace components include terpinolene, α-terpineol, etc. Zingiber corallinum Hance essential oil has different antibacterial/antifungal abilities against the eight kinds of bacteria and fungi in the experiment. Compared with the positive drug, Zingiber corallinum Hance essential oil has worse inhibitory effects against bacteria but has better inhibitory effects against fungi. The inhibitory effects against Escherichia coli, Chaetomium globosum and Trichophyton rubrum are stronger, with MIC of 1 µL/mL; the inhibitory effect against Aspergillus flavus is relatively weak, with MIC of 15 µL/mL. The MIC against Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris and Candida albicans is 3 µL/mL. Guangxi Zingiber corallinum Hance essential oil has certain antibacterial performance and broad spectrum to experimental bacteria, and has a good development prospect.
