| Summary: | Sığla tree (Liquidambar orientalis Miller) is an endemic species and the styrax liquidus obtained from its extract has antiparasitic and antibacterial properties. Staphylococcus aureus is an important agent of mastitis, it can be found in milk and on the milk collection tank surfaces and the toxins it secretes may cause food poisoning. In this study; It was aimed to investigate the effects of the styrax liquidus solution applied for different periods on the bacterial culture applied to the stainless-steel surface experimentally. As a result of the study, it was determined that styrax liquidus was effective on S. aureus in all concentrations on the surface of the bulk tank milk at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% concentrations. It was determined that styrax liquidus was reduced population of S. aureus level of 7.94 log cfu/ml. Styrax liquidus could be used as a natural antimicrobial agent in industrial surface cleaning. This is the first study to determine the disinfection properties of styrax liquidus. |
