چکیده

این مطالعه پژوهشی با هدف استخراج عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون (Olea europaea) و بررسی ویژگی‌های آنتی‌اکسیدانی و ضدمیکروبی آن صورت گرفت. عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون با کمک روش خیساندن تهیه شد و محتوای فنول و فلاونوئید کل بر اساس روش‌های رنگ‌سنجی معرف فولین- سیوکالتو و کلرید آلومینیوم اندازه‌گیری گردید. پتانسیل آنتی‌اکسیدانی عصاره با روش‌های مهار رادیکال آزاد DPPH و ABTS ارزیابی شد. علاوه بر این، فعالیت ضدمیکروبی عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون در برابر باکتری‌های بیماری­زا (اشرشیا کلی، انتروباکتر ائروژنز، باسیلوس سرئوس و لیستریا اینوکوا) بر پایه روش‌های دیسک دیفیوژن آگار، چاهک آگار، حداقل غلظت مهارکنندگی و حداقل غلظت کشندگی تعیین گردید. عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون حاوی mg GAE/g 72/0 ±58/176 فنول کل و
mg QE/g 26/0 ±85/69 فلاونوئید کل بود. علاوه بر این، عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون قادر به مهار رادیکال‌های آزاد DPPH (59/0 ±62/70 درصد) و ABTS (43/0 ±15/76 درصد) بود. نتایج ضدمیکروبی نشان داد اثر ضدمیکروبی عصاره وابسته به غلظت آن و نوع باکتری است و باکتری‌های باسیلوس سرئوس و انتروباکتر ائروژنز به‌ترتیب حساس‌ترین و مقاوم‌ترین سویه‌های میکروبی در برابر عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون بودند. به‌طور کلی، نتایج این مطالعه نشان داد که عصاره اتانولی برگ زیتون را می‌توان به‌عنوان ترکیب زیست فعال طبیعی با ویژگی‌های ضدمیکروبی و آنتی‌اکسیدانی بالا معرفی نمود.

چکیده [English]

[1]Introduction: Oxidation and food pathogens are considered two important and influential factors affecting food quality and health. Recently, due to the increasing demand for natural products, the application of synthetic preservatives to control microbial growth and lipid oxidation have been decreased significantly. Therefore, natural antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds are receiving more attention in food preservation technologies. In the last 2 decades, the use of herbal medicines rich in bioactive molecules (including polyphenols, carotenoids and flavonoids) with medicinal and health effects such as delaying the onset of some diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and cancer have increased. Furthermore, secondary metabolites in plant extracts and essential oils are able to control and inhibit free radical-mediated reactions. The olive tree (Olea europaea) is an evergreen plant that grows in tropical and subtropical regions. Iran is one of the most important olive growers in the world due to its suitable conditions for olive cultivation. The leaves of the olive plant have a high potential for the production of various products such as tea and extracts. Olive leaf extract can be used as a raw material in the production of various products, due to exhibiting various biological activities such as antimicrobial and antiviral activity, lipid stabilizer, blood pressure regulator, antioxidant activity, and free radical scavenger. The leaves of the olive tree also contain various phenolic compounds, mainly Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Therefore, in this study, the amount of phenolic and flavonoid compounds of olive leaf ethanolic extract and its antioxidant effect and antimicrobial properties on Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenesis, Bacillus cereus and Listeria innocua were investigated.
 
Materials and Methods: The olive leaf ethanolic extract was prepared through maceration method and its total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteu method), total flavonoids content (aluminum chloride colorimetric assay), antioxidant activity (ABTS and DPPH free radical scavenging methods), and antimicrobial effect on E. coli, E. aerogenesis, B. cereus and L. innocua (based on disk diffusion agar, well diffusion agar, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration) were determined according to standard methods. Data were analyzed by SPSS software through one-way ANOVA and Duncan test at p<0.05. 
 
Results and Discussion: The ethanolic extract of olive leaves contained 176.58 ± 0.72 mg GAE/g total phenol and 69.85 ± 0.26 mg QE/g total flavonoids. In addition, ethanolic extract of olive leaf was able to inhibit free radicals DPPH (70.62 ± 0.59%) and ABTS (76.15 ± 0.43%). The antimicrobial results showed that the antimicrobial effect of the extract depended on its concentration and type of bacteria. Antimicrobial effect was increased as a function of ethanolic extract, and Gram-positive bacteria (B. cereus and L. innocua) were more sensitive to ethanolic extract of olive leaf than Gram-negative bacteria (E. aerogenesis and E. coli). Generally, B. cereus and E. aerogenesis were the most sensitive and resistant microbial strains to ethanolic extract of olive leaf, respectively.
The results of this study showed that the high antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of olive leaf ethanolic extract is mainly due to its phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Olive leaf ethanolic extract was able to neutralize DPPH and ABTS free radicals. Also, Gram-positive bacteria were more sensitive to ethanolic extract of olive leaf than Gram-negative bacteria. In general, the ethanolic extract of olive leaf can be used as a nutraceutical to control or prevent the growth of spoilage/infection-causing microorganisms and free radical reactions in food and the human body. However, more in-depth studies are needed to determine the mechanism of antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of olive ethanolic extract in vitro and in vivo.
