| Abstract | The present study investigates the antimicrobial and preservative potentials of turmeric extracts for food industry. Turmeric extracts prepared in n-hexane, water, chloroform and ethanol were applied to meals as preservatives and antibacterial agent. The samples were assessed microbiologically (total bacterial, total fungal and total coliform counts) and organoleptically (color, odor, taste) at day zero and after 15 days intervals. Meals autoclaved for shorter time (5 min) and treated with combination of 1 % or 2 % turmeric extract preserved for longer period. These results were comparable with samples autoclaved for longer period (15 min) with out turmeric extract. The antibacterial activities of different turmeric extracts were also tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Candida albicans by disc diffusion method. Water extracted samples of turmeric stored at room temperature inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi while aqueous extract autoclaved at 121 °C for 30 min reduced the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Methanol extracted samples stored at room temperature or autoclaved at 121 °C was effective to control the growth of all microbes under study. Chloroform and n-hexane extracts (stored at room temperature) showed weak activity against all tested microbes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
