Abstract
Introduction. The study of the antibacterial and fungicidal potential of chitosan is a promising area of research and has a fairly high applied value in the field of using chitosan as a technological auxiliary material in wine, beer and fermented beverage technologies to eliminate potential components of biological mutagenesis. Materials and methods. The scientific objective of the study is to evaluate the antibacterial and fungicidal activity of chitosan. Determination of the bactericidal activity of chitosan against E. coli was carried out by surface inoculation on Endo nutrient medium selective for coliforms. Results and discussion. Determination of fungicidal activity against Saccharomyces cereviviae was carried out by surface inoculation on Sabouraud nutrient medium with chloramphenicol selective for yeast fungi. Conclusion. Chitosan has antibacterial and fungicidal activity. It has been established that the addition of chitosan even in minimal quantities provides a fungicidal effect in relation to the test culture of yeast fungi S. cereviviae and allows to significantly enhance the bactericidal effect in relation to the test culture of bacteria E. coli.
