Antibacterial Activity of Protein Hydrolysates from Processed Mangoes against Human Pathogens

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of peptides from 4 types of processed mangoes including pickled mango, pickled mango with chilli, mango sheets and mango sheets with chilli by broth dilution method. Antibacterial activity was assayed against human pathogens such as E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis and K. aerogenes. The results showed that mango sheets with chilli showed high activity against all pathogens except E. coli 8739. While all processed mangoes can inhibit the growth of S. aureus 6538 and S. aureus 6538P. Then, a proper amount of consumption will protect consumers from
