![]() In the present study, the effect of GSE was evaluated on avian influenza virus (AIV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), Salmonella Infantis In order to confirm that this concentration of BZC would not contribute to the bactericidalĮffect of GSE in this experiment, the bactericidal activity of a diluted commercially available BZC solution was also evaluated. However, the solution (diluted with redistilled water (dW 2) ×100) contained 0.0024% BZC. The GSE used in the current study was checked for preservatives, and the amounts of benzethonium chloride and triclosan were at undetectable levels (tested by Mizuken Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan). These reports threaten the safety and efficacy of GSE. ![]() GSE sold in Japan also contained high concentration of BZC and benzethonium chloride ,Īnd hence, awareness on ingredient labeling of all GSE products sold in Japan was promoted. ![]() That GSE sold in the market contained benzalkonium chloride (BZC), benzethonium chloride, and eighteen ![]() However, there have been some issues with the safety and the bactericidal effect of GSE in the past. GSE is considered a food additive because of its natural origin and Due to its high bactericidal effect, the application of GSE to fresh vegetables, food packaging, hypromellose gel, and many more commodities are being considered. It has a high growth inhibition effect against gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa andĮscherichia coli, as well as gram positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus spp. GSE is well known for its disinfecting property against bacteria. Therefore, we considered the potential of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) as a novel disinfectant for animals and humans due to For example, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is safe for animals, and has a strong virucidal effect, but this effect is lost in its sprayįorm at 30 cm distance. There are various disinfectants in the market, but the ones that are effective in variousĬonditions and at the same time safe for animals are limited. The enhancement of biosecurity is crucial, especially at ports such as airports, where peopleĬome and go, and at farms, where there is a higher chance of people having contact with animals. Potential novel disinfectant against viruses and bacteria, effective even within a short contact time.ĭue to globalization, there are higher chances of the spread of zoonotic diseases by contagion. GSE was also effective against SI and EC inoculated on fabric. The disinfectant was able to maintain its efficacy in the spray form at 30 cm distance. GSE×1,000 inactivated both SI and EC within 5 sec, even in GSE×100 reduced the viral titer of both AIV and NDV even in 5% FBS condition. Furthermore, the efficacy of GSE against bacteria on clothes was tested using ![]() The test solutions were sprayed at 1 cm and 30 cm distances to test the efficacy of GSE in a spray form. In the presence of organic material-5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), The pathogens over a period of time after which the remaining viruses were titrated and the bacterial colonies were counted. The activity of diluted GSE (×100, ×500 and ×1,000 with redistilled water) against selected viruses and bacteria was evaluated in this study. Original GSE contained 0.24% benzalkonium chloride (BZC), however, 0.0025% BZC solution could not inactivateīacteria. Infantis (SI) and Escherichia coli (EC) were evaluated. The inhibitory activities of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) on avian influenza virus (AIV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), Salmonella ![]()
