Abstract
In order to retain the freshness of fruits and vegetables and to reduce the rate of disease damage, grafruit seed extract (GPSE), natural microorganism control agent, was applied during the preservation process of fresh fruits and vegetables. GFSE showed an effective inhibitory action against plant putrefactive bacteria and fungi which were involved in the decay of fruits and vegetables. Minimal inhibitory concentrations for GFSE against the microbes were in the range of 50 to 2,000 ppm. Direct observation of microbial cells and spores using electron microscopy showed their function was destroyed by the treatment of the dilute solutions of GFSE. Fresh Welsh onions, onions and red peppers treated with GFSE and stored in polyethylene film (0.1 mm) retained better quality in color and texture than the non-treated control. GFSE was efficient in controlling the germination of potatoes. It was observed that GFSE would reduce disease damages and have bactericidal and fungicidal properties during the storage of such fruits and vegetables as zucchinis, cucumbers, tomatoes and mandarin oranges.
과채류의 저장중, 신선도를 유지하고 병리적 장해를 감소시키기 위하여 천연 식물성 항균제인 grapefruit종자추출물(GFSE)로 처리하여 과채류의 품질향상을 유도할 수 있었고 저장시 과채류 부패병원균의 감염 및 생육을 억제할 수 있었다. Grapefruit종자추출물은 세균, 곰팡이 등, 광범위한 범위의 식물변패미생물에 대하여
