Prunus mume extract showed antimicrobial efface remarkably against the wide spectrum of putrefactive and food spoilage microorganisms above 250 ppm of concentration. Their thermal and pH stabilities were effective under the range of temperature $(40^{\circ}C{\sim}120^{\circ}C)$ and $pH(3{\sim}11)$. Prunus mume extract seemed to be a natural antimicrobial ideally with the view of their effectiveness and thermal & pH stabilities. In addition, their action modes suggested that their hydrophillic components would perturb the fucntions of microbial cell membranes synergistically.

This study discusses the long-term antifungal effect and antifungal performance of Hwangtoh mortars with various natural antifungal substances on five types of mold: Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans, Gliocladium virens, and Penicillium pinophilum, which can be easily detected in the indoors and outdoors of buildings in damp environments. The antifungal performances of various natural antifungal substances extracted from Marjoram, Phytoncide, Thyme, Ginkgo leaves, and Chitosan (oligosaccharide) were investigated on the five types of mold, as a basic experiment. Using the natural antifungal substances selected for the basic experiment, antifungal mortars were made, and their antifungal performance and long-term antifungal effects were also investigated. The results clearly showed that the marjoram extract and their associated mortars had excellent antifungal performance. Also, their long-term antifungal effects were outstanding and at an equivalent level to those of the mortars with organic chemical antifungal agents. The optimum addition rate of the marjoram extract in the mortar was 5% by mass of binder. It was also shown that the phytoncide extract in the mortar needed an addition rate of more than 10% according to the mass of binder, considering the long-term antifungal effect and the antifungal performance.

79종의 식물재료의 Alternaria alternata에 대한 항균활성을 조사한 결과, 7가지 식물재료가 항균활성이 있었고, 11가지는 확실치 않았으며, 나머지 61가지는 항균활성이 나타나지 않았다. A. alternata에 항균활성이 나타난 7가지 식물재료 중 계피가 활성이 가장 높았으며, 오미지와 천궁이 중정도의 활성을 보였으며, 나머지는 약한 활성을 나타내었다. 항균 활성 성분은 계피와 천궁의 경우는 diethyl ether에 분리되었고, 오미자의 경우는 butanol에 분리되었다. 계피의 diethyl ether 추출물은 1,000 배액 이하에서 식별 가능한 항균활성이 나타났다. 계피의 성분으로 cinnam aldehyde가 가장 높은 활성을 보여, 이 물질이 계피의 주요 항균물질로 사료된다.

Natural preservative agents are generally made of antibiotic substances that are extracted from plants. They are used mainly to keep in an original good state food, natural cosmetic goods and medicines which are likely to get rotten. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether natural preservative agents can be applied to fabrics for the preservation of textile cultural properties. For the purpose, this researcher experimented with a certain natural preservative agent which was developed to preserve natural cosmetic goods. The study found that when treated with the foresaid natural preservative agent whose ratio to water was 1%, fabrics showed little changes in color and tensile strength, almost neutral pH, high antibiosis and anti-fungus and high resistance to Bacillus cereus that is much detrimental to silk fabrics. As a part of the study, a preliminary test on the possibility of using natural preservative agents to preserve textile cultural properties, found that when kept covered up with the 1% natural preservative agent-treated fabrics for 72 hours, excavated textile relics showed a dramatic decrease in microbial growth.

According to the increases the standard of living of the people, requirements for building environments are also being diversified. The fungus that occurred the building is not good the health of occupants as well as undermine the value of the building. However, chemical antimicrobial agent contain ingredients harmful to human body and it has an impact on indoor air quality. Therefore, the use of natural antimicrobial material is strongly required. In this study, the fungal reproductive inhibit capacity was evaluated by using mortars with natural antimicrobial material.

Bacillus sp. SD-10 was investigated to develope biological pesticides for control of mushroom diseases. Bacillus sp. SD-10 showed high antifungal activity when cultured at 35∼4$0^{\circ}C$ for 30∼4$0^{\circ}C$. The culture filtrate of the bacterium inhibited the growth of mycelium of T. virens which is a kind of mushroom pathogene. On the test of inhibition of spore germination of T. virens, more than 5% of the culture filtrate in the media inhibited completely the germination of the spores. An antimicrobial substance, UPX-1 was purified from the culture filtrate of the Bacillus. From the $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectrum analysis, the substance was indentifed as disaccharide composed to six carbon sugars. UPX-1 has not only strong antifungal activity against T. virens but also antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas tolaassi.

식품조리 및 가공은 만들어진 제품의 저장성을 전제로 해야 하기 때문에 식품의 변화 혹은 변질에 깊은 이해를 바탕으로 모든 처리와 가공 방법이 검토되어야 한다. 식품의 변질이나 부패는 미생물 작용에 의한 변질이 그대부분을 차지하고 있으며 미생물학적 변질을 방지하기 위해서 화학적 합성보존 제가 상업적으로 사용되고 있으나 최근 소비자의 건강 지향적 욕구가 증대됨에 따라 인공합성품의 기피현상이 두드러지고 있다. 따라서 천연 항균물질의 개발과 이용은 인공 합성보존제의 대처라는 의미와 소비자기피현상을 유발시키지 않으면서 각종 가공식품의 저장성 향상 및 저온 유통식품의 안정성확보라는 견지에서 그 중요성이 있다. 본 실험에서는 식품의 미생물작용에 의한 변질의 저해 효과가 뛰어난 식물성천연항균제품(Botanical antimicrobial agents-Citrus product : 이하 BAAC라 칭함)에 천연보조제(Ginseng extract, Aloe, 매실추출물)를 첨가하여 Paper disk법에 의한 항균성 검사를 실시한 결과 Ginseng extract를 첨가한 경우 생육저해환이 가장 크고 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 따라서 BAAC에 보조제 (Ginseng extract)를 첨가하여 제조 된 천연 항균복합제재(이하 BAAG라 칭함)를 가공 반찬류인 마늘종 무침과 돈육장조림에 첨가하여 처리한 후 꺼내어 상온에서 저장하면서 주사전자현미경 관찰, 대장균수, 총균수의 변화, 외관상의 변화에 미치는 영향을 무처리 대조구와 비교하면서 조사하였다. 주사전자현미경 촬영사진의 결과 분석을 통하여 BAAG를 처리한 균체 세포는 세포막 및 세포벽 기능이 파괴되어 세포내용물이 균체외부로 유출되어 균체의 생육이 억제되며 성장을 저해 또는 사멸시키는 것으로 나타났다. 대장균수는 모든 처리구에서 BAAG의 첨가에 의해 성장이 억제되었으며 농도가 증가시킬수록 균증식 억제 효과가 뚜렷하였으며, 총균수도 압도적으로 낮은 값을 보여주었다. 외관상의 변화와 상품 가치를 측정한 결과는 무늘 종 무침과 돈육장조림의 대조구에서는 4일 경과후 강한 부패취와 아울러, 표피의 갈변정도가 심하되어 관능적으로 부패상태를 인지할 수 있었으며 7일경과 후부터 점질성 갈변물질이 생성되어 상품가치가 크게 떨어진 상태였다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때, BAAG의 처리는 BAAC의 경우보다 가격은 저렴하면서도 항균력은 우수한 천연 항균복합제재로써 가공 반찬류의 저장성을 최대한 연장 할 수 있음을 확인 하였고, 반찬류뿐만 아니라 여러 식품군에 다양하게 적용가능 할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was focused on the development of anticariogenic edible films using pullulan containing grapefruit seed extract (GFSE), polylysine or propolis. According to the result of antimicrobial activity (disc diffusion method) of GFSE, polylysine and propolis against Streptococcus mutans, antimicrobial pullulan film was produced by adding grapefruit seed extract. The optimum combination of pullulan and sorbitol (plasticizer) was 10$\sim$15% (w/v) and 40$\sim$50% of pullulan (w/w), respectively. Minimum concentration of grapefruit seed extract for growth inhibition of Str. mutans was 50 ppm in medium. Formulation of antimicrobial pullulan films containing grape seed extract was established and these results evidently showed potential for commercial application.

Deterioration of food is in general caused by the presence of microorganisms and chemical compounds of food itself. There exists antimicrobial compound in the food, however, addition of food antiseptics, additives, or physico-chemical processing is a common practice. The safety of artificial chemical antiseptics became a serious public concern, therefore, new natural antiseptic compounds are in need to be developed. We have isolated a new natural antifungal protein (KBS-B2) from Astragal seed through ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography using FPLC Mono-S and Superose 12HR. The purified protein inhibited growth of Candida albicans, and spore germination of food spoiling fungi such as Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium expensum, P. digitatum and Botrytis cineria. Antifungal effect of the KBS-B2 protein could be directly assayed by bioautography overlaying the fungal spores on the electrophoresed acrylamide gel. The comparison of N-terminal amino acid sequences of the KBS-B2 with known antifungal protein revealed that had 50% homology to thaumatin and zeamatin like proteins.

The antimicrobial properties of methanolic extract (PML) from Prunus nune byproducts after liquor manufacturing weremeasured using various putrefactive and food spoilage microorganisms. PML showed remarkable antimicrobial effects against various putrefactive and food spoliage microorganisms when used at 500g/mL. The antimicrobial properties were stable for 30 min at 100C and at pH 3 11. PML seems to be a natural antimicrobial agent with high effectiveness, and shows both thernal and pH stability. In addition, the mode of antimicrobial action suggests that the active components may synergistically perturb microbial membrane functions.
