Abstract
The effect of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on the killing of Escherichia coli by hypochlorous acid (HOCI) was examined. CGA prevented E. coli from bactericidal action of HOCI in a concentration-dependent manner. HOCI reacted rapidly with CGA. By comparison with the one- and two-electron oxidation products produced by peroxidase and phenolase reactions, respectively, the main product was identified as o-quinone of CGA via the formation of o-semiquinone of CGA as an intermediate The quinone form of CGA reacted further with HOCI to yield unstable product(s).Entities:
