Purpose: Norovirus is the most common cause of human acute gastroenteritis and is the major pathogen of foodborne viral disease. In this study, survival of a foodborne viral surrogate, murine norovirus, was investigated on Allium chinense as well as one of its components, dimethyl disulfide. Methods: The inhibitory effects of A. chinense and its dimethyl disulfide against a foodborne viral surrogate, murine norovirus-1 (MNV), were investigated using time-of-addition plaque assay. Pre-virus treatment and co-treatment were designed to determine the inhibitory mechanism of A. chinense and its dimethyl disulfide against MNV. Results: Inhibitory effects were observed upon pre-virus treatment and co-treatment with A. chinense in a dose-dependent manner. Dimethyl disulfide, a major flavor component of A. chinense, showed inhibitory effects in the pre-virus treatment and co-treatment. Conclusion: A. chinense and its dimethyl disulfide showed inhibitory effects against the foodborne viral surrogate, MNV. Therefore, A. chinense may be a food material candidate for control of foodborne viral disease.
