<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an antibacterial composition having a high safety, and without affecting the original smell or taste of a food or beverage, a medicine, an oral hygienic agent, and the like. <P>SOLUTION: This antibacterial composition consisting of a solvent extract of Syzygium malaccensis seeds and/or Euphoria longana seeds can inhibit the propagation of bacteria becoming a cause of a food poisoning, the deterioration of a food, cosmetic and medicine, and infectious diseases by adding it into the food, or the like. Since especially it shows a marked effect on thermodulic spore-forming bacteria (such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, and the like), it is suitable as a preserving agent of a food, beverage, or the like. Also, since the taste and smell of the antibacterial agent of itself do not affect the original flavor of the food, or the like, it is possible to apply it widely for various foods, beverages, medicines, oral hygienic agents, and the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
