Abstract

Salmonellosis infection caused by Salmonella bacteria is a public endemic problem in Malaysia with long-term morbidity and mortality effects. Thus, this study aimed to explore the antipathogenic activity of natural extracts from Mangifera odorata against two Salmonella species causing Salmonellosis. The extracts were derived from peel, flesh, and kernel seed of M. odorata. The inhibition performance of the extracts against both Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis bacteria were subsequently tested by using a bioassay-guided fractionation method. Results showed that the extracts derived from the kernel seed had the highest inhibition percentage of 83-90% against the Salmonellosis infection, followed by the peel with an inhibition of 61-67%, and lastly the flesh with an inhibition of 53-69%. The inhibition activities of hexane extracted flesh (FCH), methanol extracted peel (PCM), and methanol treated kernel seed (KTM) against S. enterica ser. Typhimurium bacteria were 59, 67 and 83%, respectively. Furthermore, the S. enterica ser. Enteritidis bacteria were found to be highly susceptible against the methanol extracted kernel seed (KCM), followed by the hexane extracted peel (PCH) and flesh (FTH) with the inhibition percentage of 90, 69 and 59%, respectively. The highly active anti-Salmonellosis performance of M. odorata extracts was attributed to its intrinsically high total phenolics content at 8-10 g GAE/g extract, high ferric reducing antioxidant power value (FRAP) at 18-22 g Fe2+ /g extract and excellent scavenging activity with the inhibition performance ranges between 86% and 90%. This study revealed the antipathogenic activity of methanol extracts of M. odorata kernel seed inhibited the growth of both S. enterica ser. Typhimurium and S. enterica ser. Enteritidis bacteria. This study also discovered the prophylactic property of natural compounds in M. odorata kernel seed extracts and could be used as an anti-Salmonellosis agent. In the near future, M. odorata can be developed as an innovative functional food source for specific groups that are vulnerable to Salmonellosis.
