Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and renewable polymer, which represents a valuable alternative to plastic packaging films, often associated with environmental problems. In this study, we tested the suitability of PLA as a biodegradable packaging film and assessed the antimicrobial activity of lemongrass oil (LO), incorporated into the PLA film in different concentrations. To obtain the optimal physical properties for PLA films, tensile strength, elongation at break, and water vapor permeability were measured under different preparation conditions. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of the LO contained in the PLA film against Listeria monocytogenes was investigated by disc diffusion and viable cell count. Among all concentrations tested, 2% LO was the most suitable in terms of antimicrobial activity and physical properties of the PLA film. Based on these results, we used the PLA film containing 2% LO to pack pork sausages; after 12 d of storage at 4℃, the population of inoculated L. monocytogenes in the sausage samples wrapped with the PLA film containing 2% LO was reduced by 1.47 Log CFU/g compared with the control samples. Our data indicate that PLA films containing 2% LO represent a valuable means for antimicrobial sausage packaging.

PHB/chitosan 필름의 항균성 실험에서는 chitosan 필름이 실험에 사용한 세균과 곰팡이 모두에 대해 가장 높은 항균력을 나타내었고 PHB(L)도 Fusarium solani KCTC 6636와 Penicillium citreonigrum KCTC 6927에 대해 높은 항균성을 나타내었다. 식빵포장 실험에서는 chitosan이 첨가된 필름으로 포장된 식빵이 저장기간 중 수분 보유율이 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 식빵의 색도에 있어서는 포장 필름의 종류에 관계없이 $L^*$과 $b^*$는 저장기간 동안 증가하였고 $a^*$는 저장기간 동안 거의 변화하지 않았다. Chitosan 필름과 PHB(L) 필름으로 포장한 식빵의 TBA가는 저장기간 중 적게 증가하여 이들 식빵에서 지질의 산화가 크게 일어나지 않았음을 확인할 수 있었다. 식빵의 질감특성 분석에서는 PHB(M), PHB(L), chitosan 필름으로 포장한 식빵이 PHB, PHB(H)로 포장한 식빵보다 유의적으로 탄력성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 식빵 저장 중 미생물 수의 변화에서는 chitosan의 항균력으로 chitosan이 함유된 필름으로 포장된 식빵에서 미생물 수가 적게 나타났다. 따라서 전체적으로 볼 때 식빵 포장용으로 PHB(M), PHB(L), chitosan 필름이 PHB(H), PHB 필름보다 더 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.

항균 가식성 필름/코팅은 항균 물질을 식품에 직접 적용하는 경우보다 적은 양의 항균 물질로 지속적인 항균 효과를 기대할수 있는 효율적인 식품 살균 방법의 하나로서 제안 될 수 있다. 항균 가식성 코팅 필름은 섭취 기능하고 필름/코팅의 구조를 형성할 수 있는 탄수화물 고분자, 단백질, 왁스 등의 재료를 주재료로 사용하여 만들어진다. 최근 두가지 이상의 재료를 혼합해 주재료로 사용한 항균 가식성 필름/코팅과 식품 가공 부산물로 제작한 필름/코팅의 항균 기능 및 물리적 특성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한, 라이신, 유산균 분리 배양액, 전통주, 고초균, 메틸시클로프로펜, 엡실론-카프로락톤 나노 섬유, 질산 은과 나노 점토, 산화 아연 등 새로운 항균 물질을 기존 필름 주재료에 사용하거나 방향유, 유기산, 효소 등 기존 항균 물질을 키토산과 알긴산 혼합물, 한천과 바나나 가루 혼합물 등 새로운 조성의 필름 주재료에 첨가하여 항균 효과와 물리적 특성을 관찰한 연구들이 보고되었다. 필름 주재료 또는 항균 물질로 인해 필름/코팅의 항균 효과 및 인장 특성, 수분 방벽 능력이 개선된 경우와 그렇지 못한 경우를 보고한 연구들을 통해 원하는 항균 효과와 물리적 특성을 갖는 필름을 제조하기 위해서는 항균 가식성 필름/코팅의 주재료와 항균 물질의 상호 반응을 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 가식성 필름/코팅 항균 효과의 통계적 예측을 통해 항균 가식성 필름/코팅을 제작하는데 필요한 요건들을 결정할 수 있으며, 항균 필름의 적용으로 식중독 사고 발생율이 얼마나 감소되었는지 예측 할 수 있다. 항균 가식성 필름/코팅들은 식중독균과 오염균을 저해 할 수 있고, 항균 물질의 방출을 조절할 수 있으며 식품 수분 유입을 방지할 수 있다. 또한, 합성 포장재를 대체 할 수 있는 친환경 포장재이므로 더욱 다양한 식품의 미생물안전성 향상과 보존을 위해 사용될 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

항균성 물질이 함유된 투명한 신기능 포장필름의 제조를 위하여 흡착제로서 수용성 silica를 선택하여 항균성 물질의 흡착 및 내열성을 조사하였다. Methanol 자화 방선균 (MO-16, MO-17)이 생산하는 천연 항균성 물질을 ethylacetate로 추출, 농축하여 silica에 흡착시킨 후 열처리한 결과 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 5분까지 항균효과가 유지되었다. 따라서 투명필름의 제조시에 흡착제로서 silica의 첨가가 효과적이라고 판단되었다. 항균제인 benzoic acid(BA) 는 세균 및 곰팡이에 강한 항균효과를 나타내었으며, 특히 곰팡이에 대한 항균력이 우수하였고, 10$0^{\circ}C$, 5분간 열처리시에도 항균력을 유지하였다. 또한 항균성 물질과 공동 첨가시 약간의 상승효과를 나타내어 필름 제조시 공동 첨가하므로서 첨가량의 감소에 따른 비용의 절감 및 항진균 효과가 보완된 필름제조가 가능하다고 사료되었다.

To develop a wrapping film, which suppresses the microbial decay through the storage and distribute of greenhouse fresh produce, the antimicrobial packaging films were made and applied to the preservation of grapes(Campbell early). For the purpose the films were made by adding 1% grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) to LDPE film(Control). Graps were separately wrapped with packaging films in the state of closely-adhered packaging as well as modified atmosphere packaging(MAP). The wrapped grapes were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 65 days and then the colony count of contaminated microorganims, decay ration of grapes, the gas component within the packages and chemical qualities were investigated. The antimicrobial film packaging showed the efficient results to suppress microbial growth as compared with control. The total number of containated microorganisms were decreased gradually through all the storage period. In the closely-adhered packaging and MAP the decay ratios of grapes was 31% and 19%, indivisually. After the storage period of 65 days, the interior gas components of MAP were 4.5% of O2 and 17.6% of CO2, which were efficient for the storage of grapes. In addition, no negative effects in sweetness and acidities occurred.

In this study, we tried to examine the possibility of developing a dental product such as tooth decay prevention and oral hygiene by manufacturing a natural polymer film for oral use. Natural polymer films were prepared from shark byproduct extract (SBE) and gellan gum (GG). As an antibacterial substance, the antibacterial activity of green tea extract against tooth decay-causing bacteria was measured. An film was prepared by adding green tea extract to the composition of SBE and GG. The mechanical, solubility, moisture content and antibacterial function of the prepared film were investigated in detail. Also, the incorporation of GTE into the SBE/GG film improved the physical performance of the film. Increasing the content of GTE improved the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the film. Formulation of antimicrobial SBE/GG film containing green tea extract was established and these results evidently showed potential for cavity prevention products application.

In order to extend the shelf-life of packaged or coated foods, an antibacterial edible film was developed from soybean meal that had been fermented with Bacillus subtilis under the optimum condition of pH 7.0-7.5 and $33^{\circ}C$ for 33 h. The water vapor permeability of the fermented film ($86.0 mg/cm^2{\cdot}h$) was higher than those of normal soybean films ($66.9 mg/cm^2{\cdot}h$). Protein solubility of the fermented film was also higher than ordinary soy protein film at the pH range of 3 -10. The fermented soybean film had higher tensile strength and lower $\%$ elongation (elongation rate) than the ordinary soybean film, mainly because partial hydrolysis of proteins in the soybean film occurred during fermentation. Antimicrobial properties of the fermented film on foodstuffs were measured by placing the films on surime, jerked beef, and mashed sausage media; containing $10^2-10^3$ CFU/plate of foodborne pathogenic bacteria, and showed significantly higher inhibitory effects on the growths of all the indicating bacteria. The film could be used as a packaging material in the food industry. However, before direct application of the fermented film to the commercial food industry, its poor mechanical and antibacterial properties need to be improved.

In order to extend the shelf-life of packaged or coated foods, an antibacterial edible film containing 1.8% of BLS was developed from the defatted corn germ meal, which had been fermented with Bacillus subtilis under the optimum condition of pH 7.0-7.5 and $33^{\circ}C$ for 33 h. Water vapor permeability of the fermented film $(88.3mg/cm^2\;h)$ was higher than those of the normal corn germ films $(75.8mg/cm^2\;h)$. Protein solubility of the fermented film was also higher than ordinary corn germ film at the pH range of 3-10. The fermented corn germ film had higher tensile strength and lower % elongation (elongation rate) than the ordinary corn germ film. The antimicrobial activity of the film was more than 50% of the maximum activity after film production with heat treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH adjustment to 9. When the corn germ protein film with bacteriocin-like substance was applied on the mashed sausage media containing E. coli, the bacterial growth inhibition was higher than the ordinary corn protein film.

Methyl methacrylate-butyl methacrylate copolymer (MMBM)-povidone (PVP) films were investigated as a potential topical drug delivery system for the controlled release of econazole nitrate as a model drug. The effect of changes in film composition, drug concentration, film thickness, pH and temperature of release medium on the in vitro release of econazole nitrate were studied. The release rate constant was found to be increased with increasing povidone content in dry films. Drug release followed zero-order kinetics in the initial stage and then release rate increased gradually with time, espicially in the films having larger proportions of PVP. The release rate was found to be dependent on drug content, film thickness, the pH and temperature of release medium. Antimicrobial test showed that microbial growth was inhibited markedly with increasing proportions of PVP in films. Also drug content and film thickness affected the antimicrobial activity.

Low density polyethlene(LDPE0 films of 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness were fabricated with addition of antimicrobial agents of Rheum palmatum extract, Coptis chinensis extract, sorbic acid and Ag-substitude inorganic zirconium matrix in 1% concentration. The films were compared in physical properties, tested in antimicrobial activity against some selected microorganisms on the agar plate medium and then applied for packaging fresh curled lettuce and cucumber to preserve their qualities. The films with Rheum palmatum extract, Coptis chinensis extract, and Ag-substituted inorganic zirconium matrix did not show any antimicrobial activity on the disk test against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicilluium chrysogenum, while film with sorbic acid did against E. coli, S. aureus and L. mesenteroides. The added antimicrobial agents changed the color and light transmittance of the films, but did not affect their mechanical tensile strength, heat shrinkage and wettability. For the packaged curled lettuce and cucumber stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ and 1$0^{\circ}C$, all the LDPE films impregnated with antimicrobial agents showed the reduced growth of total aerobic bacteria in the vegetables compared with control film without any additive until it reached the level around 108/g. They did not give any negative effect on other quality attributes during storage.
