Objective: To study the chemical constituents and antibacterial activity of volatile oil from the fruits of Alpinia maclurei. Method: The volatile oils were extracted from fruits of A. maclurei by steam distillation
and its ingredients were identified by GC-MS. The antibacterial activity of volatile oils was tested using microdilution method. Result: 42 chromatographic peaks were detected and 31 compounds were identified
which constituted about 94.18% of the total volatile oil. The volatile oil of A. maclurei showed inhibitory activity against staphylococcus albus
bacillus cereus
staphylococcus aureus
bacillus subtilis
escherichia coli and exhibited higher activity to inhibit pediococcus aureus
with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 12.5 g·L-1. Conclusion: Volatile oil was extracted from A. maclurei and the compounds were identified for the first time
containing many reactive components. The oil was found to possess antimicrobial activity against Pediococcus.
