The growth of Lactobacillus plantarum, L. bulgaricus, L. casei, L. acidophilus, L. Helveticus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, B. coagulans and B. megaterium was inhibitec by 200 IU/㎖ of raisin. In the Presence of various germinants, such as alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, asparagine, glucose and fructose, germination of B. subtilis LDTM1 spore was inhibited by 50㎍/㎖ of raisin at 37℃. The germination of B. subtilis LDTM1 spores was delayed and their outgrowth was inhibited by raisin in the presence of alanine (10mM/㎖) and glucose (10mM/㎖) in the PCA(plate count agar) borth. Heat resistance of B. subtilis LDTM1 spores was decreased by raisin in the sterilized milk.
