The action of berry phenolics against human intestinal pathogens
Abstract
Phenolic compounds present in berries selectively inhibit the growthof human gastrointestinal pathogens. Especially cranberry, cloudberry,raspberry, strawberry and bilberry possess clear antimicrobial effects againste.g. salmonella and staphylococcus. Complex phenolic polymers, such asellagitannins, are strong antibacterial agents present in cloudberry, raspberryand strawberry. Berry phenolics seem to affect the growth of differentbacterial species with different mechanisms. Adherence of bacteria toepithelial surfaces is a prerequisite for colonization and infection of manypathogens. Antimicrobial activity of berries may also be related toantiadherence activity of the berries. Utilization of enzymes in berryprocessing increases the amount of phenolics and antimicrobial activity of theberry products. Antimicrobial berry compounds are likely to have many importantapplications in the future as natural antimicrobial agents for food industry aswell as for medicine.
