| Popis: | Ithas been known for many years that microorganisms can grow and proliferate ontextile material. Other than clothes, the objects that humans mostly contactwith are their mattresses. In this study, it was aimed to produce anantibacterial film in order to prevent growth and proliferation of variousbacteria which are dangerous for human health in mattresses and to makemattresses hygienic since they cannot be changed in a short time. In the study, extracts were first obtained from Saponaria officinalis L., Oxalis acetosella L., Althaea officinalis L., Lavandula officinalis L., Aesculus hippocastanum L., Thymus vulgaris L., Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr at Perry plants. The extracts wereused individually and combined to form experimental groups. The antibacterialeffects of the extracts were examined by disc-diffusion method applied onGram-positive rods, Gram-negative rods, Gram-positive cocci and Bacillicolonies obtained from mattresses. In addition, the colony counts were alsocarried out in total MAB culture. Based on the results of the study, it was determinedthat S. aromaticum and L. officinalis + all extracts had thehighest inhibitory effect. By using S.aromaticum extract, xanthan gum, propylene glycol, tween-20 and distilledwater, an antibacterial film, which may provide long-term hygiene inmattresses, was produced. The obtained gel was lyophilized and made availablefor use. As a result of this study, it was foreseen that with the developmentof the obtained product, 4-5 million people (e.g., dorm, hospital, hotel) couldbe protected from the diseases transmitted from mattresses, the money spent onthe chemicals used for hygiene and the damages caused by these chemicals onhuman and environmental health could be reduced, mattresses used for longperiods of time could be made healthy, and mattresses can be made hygienic in acost-effective, practical and natural manner. |
