Abstract

The margarine constituents were examined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), it contained 41 compounds, fifteen of them were identified as the major compound, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (22.39%), Methyl stearate (14.92%), methyl elaidate (13.80%), Methyl tetradecanoate (10.74%), Capric acid, methyl ester (8.34%) Lauric acid (4.52%) methyl octanoate (2.70%), linoleic acid methyl ester (2.57%), Methyl 11-octadecenoate (1.90%), methyl caproate (1.77%), Methyl pentadecanoate (1.72%), Methyl (8E,11E)-8,11-octadecadienoate  (1.70%), Heptadecanoic acid, methyl ester, (1.46%),trans-13-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (Oleic acid) (1.20%), Methyl palmioleate (1.00%). The effect of goat margarine, against four different pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, and Bacillus cereus, were carried out by using a disc diffusion technique, the highest antibacterial activity was detected against Salmonella typhimurium and the lowest one against Escherichia coli. The antibacterial activity of the antibiotics, (Ciprofloxacin, Tetracycline Ceftriaxone, Chloramphenicol and Gentamycin), were tested by the disc diffusion technique, and by measuring zones of inhibition, shows  that  there  were differences, among all antibiotic the  highest activity of antibiotic against bacteria was due to the action of ciprofloxacin. Ceftriaxone and Tetracycline antibiotic give lowest activity. Among the bacteria the highest inhibition zone by antibiotic against Salmonella typhimurium, and the lowest one against Escherichia coli

INTRODUCTION

Traditional goat margarine can be made by separation the fat from butter. The structure of margarine contain of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, those atoms were difference bonded together (saturated and unsaturated). Goat milk contain mostly unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)), which all are known to be beneficial for human health, especially for cardiovascular conditions1,2,3, essential fatty acids have nutritional importance it is a source of omega-3 and omega-64,5,6,7 the goat margarine have less amount of trans- acids. The extracts of goat margarine are mainly, oleic acid have activity against bacterial8 Linoleic acid methyl ester prevent body against microorganism9, trans-13-Octadecenoic acid, methyl esteract against inflammation, prevent against cancer, act as cosmetic, prevent skin from many decrease, anemia and act as  insects ide10. Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester act as Antibacterial and antifungal, methyl octanoate and n-hexa-decanoic acid  have higher activity against bacteria11,12,13,14. Margarine come from goat milk lipid have best activity against allergic, inflammation, it have high nutritive value15. Caproic and caprylic acids, they have possess antimicrobial activity, total fat content have higher activity  for prevention bacteria.

Objective

The present study was to know the goat margarine chemical Compound and the activity of it against pathogenic bacteria attacked human,  compare it with the antibiotics.

MATERIALS

Goat milk collected from domesticated goat, piece of cloth, yogurt, refrigerator and milk pudding machine, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).

Microorganism
All the microorganisms used in this work were obtained from the National Research Centre (Khartoum) Sudan. The identification of bacterial was carried out by conventional biochemical methods according to the standard micro-biological techniques These microbes were, Escherichia coli, Pseudomon aaeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus cereus.

Methods

Manufacture of margarine
Traditional method
Milk filtered from any impurities by piece of cloth, coagulation the milk by yogurt After the milk reaches the level of good coagulation, put in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to cool down The coagulated milk is placed in a special machine or can be placed in a tightly sealed container and is dipped for about an hour with the hands, but in the machinefor milk pudding it takes about 45 minutesthen collect the butter from above the milk and washed with cold water then heat and collect margarine.

Sample Preparation
2g of the goat margarine was mixed thoroughly with 7ml of alcoholic sodium hydroxide (Noah). The mixture was then shake for 5 minutes .The content of the test tube was left to stand overnight.1 ml of Super saturated sodium chloride (NaCl) was added and shaken, added2ml of normal hexane and then  the contents were shake thoroughly for three minutes. Then the n-hexane layer (the upper layer of the test tube) was formed, 5 µl from the n-hexane extract was diluted with 5 ml of diethyl ether. filtered the mixture and dried with 1g of anhydrous sodium sulphate, and 1µl of the diluted sample was injected in the GC.MS instrument.

Method of analysis
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) Conditions
The identification of goat margarine  constituents were carried out by using Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, model (GC/MS-QP2010-Ultra)’ Simadzu Company, Japans with serial number 020525101565SA and capillary column (Rtx-5ms-30m׳0.25 mm׳0.25 µm). injection of the sample by using split mode, the carrier gas was helium passed with flow rate 1.61 ml/min, the rate of temperature was began  from 6°C with flow rate 10c/min to 30°C as end temperature degree with 3 minutes hold time,  the injection port temperature was 30°C, the temperature of the ion was 200c and the interface temperature was 25°C. The goat margarine sample was analyzed by using scan mode in the range of m/z 40-500 charges to ratio and the total run time was 27 minutes. The identification of the compound  by comparing their retention index and mass fragmentation patents with those are found in the library, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Disc diffusion method
For microbial sensitivity test using the paper  disc diffusion method, to screen the antibacterial activity of goat margarine and performed by using Muller Hinton agar. Sterile 5 mm diameter paper disc soaked with the margarine was placed gently on the media, which had been freshly inoculated with each of the organisms. The plates were incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. The results were recorded by measuring the zone inhibition by goat margarine, also used the same method for microbial sensitivity test of the antibiotic17.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Table 1. and Fig. 1 shows that the chemical constituents of the goat margarine are given in in the order of the retention times 41 constituents were identified, 15 of them constituted as major compound such as Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (22.39%), fig. 2.

Table 2. show that the antibacterial activity of the goat margarine against four different pathogenic organisms Escherichia coli, Pseudomona aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus cereus, (the highest concentration of the goat margarine  is (100 mg/ml) and the lowest one is (12.5 mg/ml) there  was  differences  effect among bacteria, the highest inhibition zone by goat margarine was  detected against Salmonella-typhimurium and the lowest inhibition zone against Escherichia coli, in lower concentration (12.5) there was no result. these results conformity with those obtained in previous studies16,19,20 Table 3. Shows that  the inhibition zones (in mm) for the antibiotic there  was differences among them, highest activity of antibiotic against bacteria  was due to the action of ciprofloxacin  among all antibiotic  and the lowest inhibition detected by Ceftriaxone and Tetracycline antibiotic, the highest inhibition zone among the bacteria by antibiotic against Salmonellatyphimurium and the lower inhibition zone is Escherichia coli, there was no high different between antibiotic, (Gentamycin, Chloram-phenicol, Ceftriaxone and Tetracycline) and goat margarine against bacteria.
