| Research Abstract |
In this study, we tried to elucidate the antimicrobial activity of Chinese chive(Allium tuberosum) against Helicobacter pylori. As a result, the extract of Chinese chive showed the growth inhibitory effect against all of the 51 H. pylori strains. In addition, it had the bactericidal activity. It was also showed that the volatile compounds in the extract of Chinese chive contributed to the antimicrobial activity against H. pylori. In particular, S-methyl methanethiosulfinate derived from methiin was the main active component.
