Chitosan-based film-forming gel is regarded as a promising vehicle for topical delivery of antimicrobial agents to skin wounds, since it protects from microbial infection and the cationic polymer itself possesses antibacterial activity. In this study, possible synergistic interaction against common skin pathogens between the cationic polymer and tyrothricin (TRC), a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic, was investigated, by determining the concentration to inhibit 90% of bacterial isolates (MIC). The addition of the polysaccharide to TRC dramatically reduced the MIC values of TRC by 1/33 and 1/4 against both methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The synergism of TRC and chitosan combination against both strains was demonstrated by the checkerboard method, with a fractional inhibitory concentration index below 0.5. Moreover, co-treatment of TRC and chitosan exhibited antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, due to the antibacterial activity of chitosan, whereas TRC itself did not inhibit the gram-negative bacterial growth. These findings suggested that the use of chitosan-based film for topical delivery of TRC could be an alternative to improve TRC antimicrobial activity against strains that are abundant in skin wounds.

본 논문에서는 신선도 유지 기능을 부여한 새로운 형태의 산화생분해성 필름 개발에 관하여 서술하였다. 생분해 촉매제로 유기 금속염, 유기산, 불포화 지방산등을 함유한 산화생분해성 및 항균신선도기능을 부여한 M/B를 각각 제조한 후, 이를 플라스틱 레진에 첨가하여 항균 및 신선도 기능의 산화생분해 복합필름(AOB film)을 제작하였다. 제조된 항균신선도 A M/B의 항균력 시험은 진탕 플라스크 방법을 사용하여 농도별 시험을 실시하였다. A MB 5% 첨가한 AOB 필름은 별도로 필름 밀착법을 통해 제조하여 실험한 결과, 필름의 항균작용이 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 자두를 대상으로 한 신선도 유지기능 평가 결과, A M/B 5% 첨가한 AOB 필름이 대조군 필름에 비하여 신선도 유지 효과가 우수하였다. 또한 산화생분해성을 평가하기 위하여, UV 340 nm로 처리한 필름의 인장강도 및 신장율을 측정한 결과, AOB 필름의 물성 감소율이 우수하였으며, 이는 산화생분해 특성을 갖는 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 항균 및 신선도 기능의 산화생분해성(AOB) 복합필름은 식품 유통과정에서 발생할 수 있는 식품의 부패를 방지하는 측면에서 긍정적인 효과를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 판단되어진다.

Alginate를 농도 별로 용액상태로 제조한 후 필름 메이커를 이용하여 필름 형태로 만든 후 3 wt%의 $ZnCl_2$ 수용액에 필름을 고화시킨 후 수세하여 $60^{\circ}C$의 건조기에서 약 20분 동안 건조시켜 zinc alginate 필름을 제조하였다. 필름의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 항균성 및 점도와 FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDS 및 접촉각, 인장측정, 용해도분석 등을 측정하였다. 항균성 시험 결과, zinc alginate 필름에서는 두 균주(포도상구균, 폐렴간균) 모두 우수한 항균력이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 9 wt%의 sodium alginate로 제조한 zinc alginate 필름의 표면은 다른 농도별 필름보다 균일한 형태를 나타내었으며, $ZnCl_2$ 응고액에 잘 고화될 때 단단하고 거친 느낌의 단면 형태를 확인하였다. Zinc alginate 필름의 인장강도는 가교결합에 의해 sodium alginate 용액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 초기 열 분해 온도가 점차적으로 높아지고 있는 형태를 보였다.

A lot of research has been made over the recent decade to develop testing packages with antimicrobial properties to improve food safety. In this study, a new method, experimental device and technology for environmental corresponding packages of polypropylene (PP) film has been developed to provide effective temperature buffering during the transport/long-term storage of grains or foodstuffs from the supplier to the market. This quantitatively optimized mixing system enabled to produce PP films with the 700$\sim$1,400d (width;1.5$\sim$3mm, thickness;0.01$\sim$0.5mm). In the whole mixing systems, the finely-granulated inorganic illite and PP virgin chip for master batch (M/B) chip was calculated by digital measurement methods, and then the M/B chip for PP film was adapted through a air jet and PP grinding method. The prepared PP film was characterized with tensile strength and elongation, far infrared radiation (FIR) emissivity, antimicrobial activity and deodorization properties. The results revealed that the two differently grain-sized illite could be show homogeneously dispersed on PP chip surface, and as the increasing of illite content, the FIR emissivity and the anion emission rate of film was increasingly improved. In both of 325 and 1,500 mesh-sized illite contained PP chip, of course the antimicrobial activity was good. But the ultimate deodorization rate for ammonia gas of PP film were found to be approximately the same.

The purpose of this study, the purpose of this study is to activate the antibacterial effect on the Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride film by using Octadecyldimethyl (3-triethoxy silylpropyl) ammonium chloride antibacterial agent with Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride polymer, which is inexpensive and has excellent properties such as heat resistance and chemical resistance. The Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride polymer was dissolved in a dimethylacetamide solvent, and film samples were prepared by varying the ratio of Octadecyldimethyl (3-triethoxy silylpropyl) ammonium chloride to study the antibacterial performance. A Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to confirm the elements in the samples. According to the initial decomposition temperature of the Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride film and the Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride/Octadecyldimet hyl (3-triethoxy silylpropyl) ammonium chloride(10%) film using a Thermogravimetric analyzer(TA-DTA), it was confirmed that the initial decomposition temperature was lowered due to the influence of Octadecyldimethyl (3-triethoxy silylpropyl) ammonium chloride. In addition, in order to measure the mechanical properties, Universal testing machine was used and the result showed that a strength of Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride/Octadecyldimethyl (3-triethoxy silylpropyl) ammonium chloride(10%) was 36.8 MPa. The antimicrobial properties of the Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride/Octadecyldimethyl (3-triethoxy silylpropyl) ammonium chloride(10%) film showed 99.9% antimicrobial properties.

The term 'antimicrobial' packaging encompasses any packaging technique(s) used to control microbial growth in the food product. These include packaging materials and edible films and coatings that contain antimicrobial agents, and also techniques that modify the atmosphere within the package. In recent years, antimicrobial packaging has attracted much attention from the food industry because of the increase in consumer demand for minimally processed, preservative-free products. Reflecting this demand, the preservative agents must be applied to packaging in such a way that only low levels of preservatives come into contact with the food. The film or coating technique is considered to be more effective, although more complicated to apply. New antimicrobial packaging materials are being developed continually. Many of them exploit natural agents, to control common food-borne microorganisms. Current trends suggest that in due course, packaging will generally incorporate antimicrobial agents and the sealing systems will continue to improve. The focus of packaging in the past has been on the appearance, size and integrity of the package. A greater emphasis on safety features associated with the addition of antimicrobial agents is perhaps the next area for development in packaging technology.

The antimicrobial extracts of rheum palmatum and coptis chinensis root as well as grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) were applied to dipping treatment for keeping qualities of cucumbers, respectively, which were then packed in low density polyethylene(LDPE) films incorporated with 1 % antimicrobial extracts and stored $10^{\circ}C$. Dipping and packaging in the antimicrobial agents suppressed the growth of putrefactive microorgani는 and the decay ratio of cucumbers. In addition, the loss ratio of ascortic acid content and their weight was decreased during the sotrage of cucumbers. Consequently, the combined method of dippinf and packaging in antimicrobial agents turned out to be superior to dipping treatment or film-packaging in the view point of decay ratio and the keeping qualities of cucumbers.

Cow leather coated with polyurethane film that contains various organic photosensitizers was investigated to demonstrate the antimicrobial properties in the application of the material to protective clothing and home appliances. To prepare the antimicrobial coating on leather surfaces with high potency against microbes, photoactive agents, such as benzophenone (BP), 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino) benzophenone (MK), 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) and methylene blue (MB), were incorporated into polyurethane-based coating solutions. The photoactive antimicrobial agent treated leather samples were characterized by SEM, color appearance, color fastness against abrasion, and antimicrobial tests. The optical properties of organic photosensitizers indicated that active UV absorbance ranges were different: BP (around 250 nm), MK (around 360 nm), DHBP (around 305 nm) and MB (around 295 nm &570 nm-685 nm). The intensity of the UV absorbance curve at the UVA light wavelength for the antimicrobial test showed the highest value with MK; subsequently, this was followed by MB, DHBP and BP in decreasing order. The treated-leather samples demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity under UVA light. The antimicrobial effects for the Staphylococcus aureus were superior to Escherichia coli. Moreover, the polyurethane finishing showed an effective durability to abrasion. The overall results indicated that DHBP is the most suitable PU coating additive to provide antimicrobial properties to leather as well as color and surface appearance than MK, MB, and BP.

자몽종자 추출물(GSE)을 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, 0.1%의 농도로 첨가하여 제조한 gelatin 필름의 물성과 항균효과에 대해 조사하였다. 필름의 인장강도는 0.1% GSE를 첨가하였을 경우 10.28 MPa로 대조구의 8.68 MPa에 비하여 1.60 MPa 증가하였으나, GSE 첨가량의 증가에 따라 유의적으로 증가하지는 않았다. 투습계수는 GSE의 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었는데, 대조구의 2.48 ngm/m2sPa 에 비하여 0.1% GSE의 첨가 시 2.18 ng $m/m^{2}sPa$이었다. GSE 첨가한 gelatin 필름의 항균활성의 경우, 0.1% GSE를 첨가 했을 때 E. coli의 경우 2.67 log CFU/g, L. monocytogenes 경우 3.15 log CFU/g 감소시키는 결과를 얻었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, GSE를 첨가한 gelatin 필름이 가공식품의 포장재로써 식품에서 일부 위해미생물을 억제 할 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.
