Antimicrobial Clove Bud Oil for Inhibiting Salmonella sp. Isolated from Broiler Carcass Samples

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the inhibition effect of clove bud oil against the growth of Salmonella sp. isolated by in vitro method. Three isolates of Salmonella sp. I, II and III were obtained from the broiler carcasses in Central Java used in this study. Every isolates was tested against several concentrations (25, 20, 15, 10 and 6% of clove bud oil. The results indicated that the higher of oil concentration the higher the growth inhibition of Salmonella enteritidis obtained (P<05). The growth inhibition produced by 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5% oil concentrations respectively were 18.7, 15.7, 14.3, 9.3 and 6.7 mm. The most sensitive Salmonella sp. isolate to clove bud oil was Salmonella sp. isolate II (P<05). Growth inhibitions of Salmonella sp. I and III and I respectively were 7.2, 11.6 and 13.4 mm respectively. It was concluded that clove bud oil could inhibit the growth of Salmonella sp.isolated from broiler carcass samples.
