Resumen
Foi avaliada a atividade antimicrobiana do eugenol contra Alicyclobacillus hesperidum, Alicyclobacillus cycloheptanicus, Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris e de Alicyclobacillus spp., isolados em indústrias de sucos de laranja de várias regiões do Estado de São Paulo. O teste de suscetibilidade para o eugenol foi realizado determinando-se a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) pela técnica de microdiluição em placas de 96 cavidades. A CIM do eugenol variou de 66,65 a >1066,4 μg/mL, evidenciando-se a atividade inibitória forte e moderada frente a todas as amostras testadas e a atividade bactericida. Este estudo demonstrou ser significativa a fonte de isolamento das linhagens de Alicyclobacillus spp. nas indústrias. Conclui-se que o eugenol possui eficaz atividade antimicrobiana contra Alicyclobacillus spp. e sugere-se o uso deste composto para prevenir a deterioração de bebidas acidificadas e para diminuir o custo do controle microbiológico mais especificamente em suco de laranja.Citas
