摘要
The 10 major volatile constituents were identified by GC-MS analysis as common flavor principles in mate tea obtained from various locations. Their antimicrobial activity against 13 microorganisms was tested. All of the volatiles tested exhibited moderate to weak activity with broad spectra. Some of them are bactericidal against one of the most important cariogenic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans. The antibacterial activity of the distillate against S. mutans wag significantly enhanced by indole.
