The antimicrobial and antioxidative effects of Opuntia ficus-indica vur. saboten (OP) extract with different solvents and extraction methods were investigated. In general, antimicrobial activity of OP was higher in extracts by reflux than in extracts by shake. However, no significant difference in antimicrobial activity was observed between methanol, ethanol and water extract. The antimicrobial activity was significant against all microbes tested, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by shake extract and against Escherichia coli O-157 by reflux extract. A severe morphological change with destruction of outer layer was observed in Salmonella enteritidis treated with water extract. Though OP extract in hydrogen activity was lower than 0.1% BHT, the activity of OP extract showed very high effectivenss than the activity of control. OP extract showed a similar extent of antioxidative activity with BHT.

Recently, consumers using cosmetics have a great interest in raw material safety. Among them, interest in natural preservatives is increasing, and as the demand for cosmetics excluding paraben preservatives increases, a method of replacing synthetic preservatives with antibacterial essential oils is being considered. The antibacterial effect of essential oils depends on the components, concentrations and interactions between the main active compounds. Effective preservatives should have antimicrobial activity against a wide range of strains even at minimal concentrations. All preservatives should be considered to increase skin concentration and cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Consumers recognize that essential oils from nature are safe, but some should be careful because they can cause contact allergies or phototoxic reactions. As such, it is important to balance natural preservatives with maximum preservative effects and low toxicity. This paper describes the characteristics of essential oils focused on antibacterial properties, efficacy and safety as cosmetic preservatives.

Although various studies have focused on the relationship between essential oils (EOs) and skin flora, there are only few comparative studies on the antibacterial properties of EOs and their efficacy against common microorganisms. In this study, we tested the antibacterial activity of 10 different EOs against Staphylococcus epidermidis(S. epidermidis) with oxacillin as control. Optical density was used to measure the activity of solutions containing the EOs and S. epidermidis at two different concentrations. Three EOs (palmarosa, lemongrass, and Mellissa True) had higher antibacterial activity than oxacillin, but their concentrations had negligible effect on antibacterial activity.

새송이 버섯은 맛과 향이 좋고 영양적으로 우수하여 성인병 예방과 개선 효과가 있다고 알려져 있으나 재배농가의 급증으로 인한 가격하락과 집중출하로 신선도의 하락 등이 문제가 되고 있어 새송이 버섯의 활용성을 향상시키고, 소비자의 기호를 충족시킬 수 있는 버섯류 가공품 개발이 요구되고 있다. 전통절임식품을 응용한 새로운 버섯류 장류절임 가공법을 개발하기 위하여 절임 전 처리에 따른 품질특성을 비교하였으며, 이를 위하여 먼저 절임 전처리 조건으로 블랜칭처리, 적정 염농도와 처리시간 및 탈염법을 개발하고 건조 등의 전처리에 따른 품질 평가는 수분함량, 염도, 색상, 조직감, 관능특성 등을 평가하였다. 새송이 버섯을 전처리하기 위한 블랜칭 처리조건은 7$0^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 처리한 구가 조직감이 우수하고 갈변이 적었으며 염 침지시간은 침지 72시간까지는 증가하였으나 그 이후로는 증가하지 않았고 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 탈염하는 것이 가장 우수하여 전처리 조건으로 선정하였다. 전처리 방법에 따른 중량변화는 블랜칭 처리가 약 10% 정도 중량이 더 많았으며 이 영향은 건조 후에도 지속되었다. 수분함량도 블랜칭 처리가 높았으며 염도 또한 건조 처리에 따라 높은 함량을 보였으나 블랜칭 처리를 병행했을 경우 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 조직의 강도는 무처리에 비하여 전처리를 함에 따라 많은 힘이 소요되어 질긴 조직 특성을 나타냄을 알 수 있다. 관능평가 결과 블랜칭 처리를 단독으로 실시한 B(B)처리구가 관능적 특성치 모두 높은 값을 보여 전처리 방법으로는 가장 우수한 전처리 방법임을 알 수 있었다.저온 장시간 처리한 경우에 비하여 낮은 수준이지만 약간의 증감 경향을 보이다가 고른 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 산소 농도는 저온 장시간 처리 직후 급격히 저하된 후 다시 증가하였으며 저장 7일 후에는 4$0^{\circ}C$ 3시간 처리구를 제외하고는 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 고온 단시간 처리구의 경우 처리 직후부터 저장 7일 후까지 고른 평형 상태를 유지하였다. 에틸렌의 경우 저온 장시간 처리구는 처리 직후 그 농도가 급격히 상승하였다가 저장 1일 후부터 대조구보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 고온 단시간 처리구의 경우 저온 장시간 처리구와는 달리 저장 1일 후부터 그 농도가 다소 상승되었다가 다시 감소는 경향을 보였다. 한편 열처리하여 냉각시킨 직후 및 저장1주 후 사과의 pH, 산도, 당도, 경도, 과육의 갈변도 등을 조사하였던 바 대조구 및 처리구간에 일부 항목에 있어서는 약간의 차이를 나타내었다. 대치할 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다. 수분함량은 기계적 검사보다 관능검사와 더욱 높은 상관관계를 나타냈다.내었다. 항균활성이 우수한 생약재를 농도별로 활성을 조사한 결과, 물 추출물과 10% Ethanol 추출물 모두 낮은 농도에서도 우수한 항균활성을 나타내었다.취와 함께 점질성 갈변물질이 생성되었다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때, BAAG의 처리는 BAAC의 경우보다 가격은 저렴하면서도 항균력은 우수한 천연 항균복합제재로써 농산물 식품원료에 적용하여 선도유지 기간을 연장할 수 있는 효과를 기대할 수 있었다. 과일 등의 포장제로서 이용할 가능성을 확인하였다.로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻

In this work, the thermal, antibiotic properties and far-infrared emissivity of fluorinated illite embedded polypropylene non-woven fibers (f-illite/PP fibers) were investigated in the presence of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% illite powders. The thermal properties of f-illite/PP fibers were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Their antibiotic properties were examined by Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae test. Their far-infrared emissivity was also investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. From the experimental results, thermal, antibiotic properties and far-infrared emissivity of f-illite/PP fibers were improved by increasing fluorinated illite contents and the property values of 5 wt% f-illite/PP fibers were increased remarkably by about 10.3, 41.2 and 9.8% respectively in comparison with PP non-woven fibers having no fluorinated illite additive. This result was interpreted as the development of interfacial adhesion force between the polymer chains due to the fluorination of illite power.

Urushiol extracted from lacquer tree exhibits good thermal stabilities as well as antimicrobial andantioxidant properties. However, it has been known that the urushiol derivates bring out allergy. In this study, polyurushiol (PUOH) powders were successfully synthesized for the safe and convenient handling of allergic urushiol. First, the as-synthesized PUOH was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), antioxidant test and antimicrobial test. And then, six different LDPE/PUOH composite films were prepared via a twin screw extruder system and investigated their feasibility to use as active packaging materials. Their chemical structures, morphology, thermal optical and antimicrobial properties of the LDPE/PUOH composite films were investigated as a function of PUOH contents. FTIR and SEM results showed that LDPE/PUOH composite films have a weak interfacial interaction and poor dispersion with a high PUOH loading. The thermal properties increased up to 3 wt% as the content of PUOH increases. Compared to the pure LDPE films, LDPE/PUOH composite films are more effective in the UV absorbance and antibacterial activity against E. coli. To maximize the performance of LDPE/PUOH compositefilms as the packaging materials, further researches are required to enhance the dispersion of PUOH powders in the LDPE matrix.
