Abstract
A search was made for new antimicrobial compounds which are effective in preserving foods, particularly in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.In this paper, straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids, aromatic ones, pinonic acid and their esters and fatty aminocarboxylic acids were synthesized and their antimicrobial activities were investigated. It was found that straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids, such as octatrienoic and decatetraenoic acids, show antimicrobial action, and fatty aminocarboxylic acids possessing cationic structure exhibit the action considerablly.
