Japan found that pumpkin contains antibacterial substances

Japan's Tokachi Ring Regional Food Processing Technology Research Center found that the melon sac around the pumpkin seeds contains an antibacterial active substance that can inhibit the occurrence of bacteria. This substance is a fat-soluble ingredient in the melon sac, and the antibacterial active substance is applied to molds and bacteria. In addition, the heat-resistant fungus, Bacillus subtilis, which does not cause the death of bacterial spores by heat treatment, has an inhibitory effect, and is expected to be used for the preservation of processed foods such as tofu. The antibacterial substances that are derived from natural agricultural products are easily accepted by consumers. Enter the practical stage.
