Abstract
This disclosure provides generally for antimicrobial compositions and methods of use comprising an anthocyanin, an anthocyanidin or metabolites thereof. Methods for promoting healing of a wound using these compositions are also disclosed. These compositions have broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and are safe for human and animal uses. Further, these compositions are safe for medical uses and industrial uses as antiseptic preparations to reduce or prevent microbial growth.
Claims21
A method for reducing the growth of a microorganism in a foodstuff, comprising:
- applying an antimicrobial composition to the foodstuff, the antimicrobial composition comprising one or more of an anthocyanin metabolite or an anthocyanidin metabolite in an amount greater than or equal to 0.15% by weight selected from the group consisting of:
- protocatechuic acid, 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, and combinations thereof, and
- a nutraceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the anthocyanin metabolite or anthocyanidin metabolite inhibits microbial growth of one or more of the following microorganisms:
- Bacillus cereus, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium sporogenes, Propionibacterium acnes, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella, Lactobacillus casei, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella species, Salmonella typhi, Shigella species, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aureobasidium pullulans, Candida albicans, and Penicillium chrysogenum.
An antimicrobial food additive for reducing growth of a microorganism in a foodstuff, comprising:
- an amount greater than or equal to 0.15% by weight of one or more of an anthocyanin metabolite or an anthocyanidin metabolite selected from the group consisting of:
- protocatechuic acid, 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, and combinations thereof;
- and
- a nutraceutically acceptable carrier;
- wherein the anthocyanin metabolite or anthocyanidin metabolite inhibits microbial growth of one or more of the following microorganisms:
- Bacillus cereus, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium sporogenes, Propionlbacterium acnes, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella, Lactobacillus casei, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella species, Salmonella typhi, Shigella species, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aureobasidium pullulans, Candida albicans, and Penicillium chrysogenum when applied to the food stuff.
A foodstuff, comprising:
- a food and one or more of an anthocyanin metabolite or an anthocyanidin metabolite selected from the group consisting of protocatechuic acid, 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, and combinations thereof;
- wherein the one or more of the anthocyanin metabolite or anthocyanidin metabolite is present in the foodstuff in an amount greater than or equal to about 0.15% by weight;
- and
- wherein the amount is effective to inhibit microbial growth of one or more of the following microorganisms:
- Bacillus cereus, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium sporogenes, Propionibacterium acnes, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella, Lactobacillus casei, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella species, Salmonella typhi, Shigella species, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aureobasidium pullulans, Candida albicans, and Penicillium chrysogenum in the foodstuff.
