Edible films containing antimicrobial agents can be used as safe alternatives to preserve food products. Essential oils are well-recognized antimicrobials. However, their low water solubility, volatility and high sensitivity to oxygen and light limit their application in food preservation. These limitations could be overcome by embedding these essential oils in complexed product matrices exploiting the encapsulation efficiency of β-cyclodextrin. This study focused on the maximization of β-cyclodextrin production using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and the evaluation of its encapsulation efficacy to fabricate edible antimicrobial films. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize CGTase production by Brevibacillus brevis AMI-2 isolated from mangrove sediments. This enzyme was partially purified using a starch adsorption method and entrapped in calcium alginate. Cyclodextrin produced by the immobilized enzyme was then confirmed using high performance thin layer chromatography, and its encapsulation efficiency was investigated. The clove oil/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes were prepared using the coprecipitation method, and incorporated into chitosan films, and subjected to antimicrobial testing. Results revealed that β-cyclodextrin was produced as a major product of the enzymatic reaction. In addition, the incorporation of clove oil/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes significantly increased the antimicrobial activity of chitosan films against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. In conclusion, B. brevis AMI-2 is a promising source for CGTase to synthesize β-cyclodextrin with considerable encapsulation efficiency. Further, the obtained results suggest that chitosan films containing clove oils encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin could serve as edible antimicrobial food-packaging materials to combat microbial contamination.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activities of clove extracts in water, methanol and ether. The clove extracts, BHA and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol were added to each oil at a level of 200 ppm. The activities of the substrate oils and controls were tested under autoxidation and thermal oxidation conditions. The degree of the effects of the antioxidant activities under autoxidation condition were in the following order; ether extract 〉 methanol extract 〉BHA 〉 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 〉 water extract = control group. The induction periods of the control, water, methanol and ether extracts, and BHA and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol were 9.5, 9.6, 10.7 11.8, 10.4 and 9.7 days, respectively. Under thermal oxidation condition, the methanol extract showed stronger antioxidant activity than those of the water and ether extracts. The antioxidant activity of the methanol extract was attributed to ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and BHA.

향신료의 첨가가 육제품에서 아질산염의 효과에 미치는 역할을 구명하기 위하여, 마쇄한 돈육에 8가지 향신료, ascorbic acid, nitrite를 첨가한 다음, 가열하지 않거나, $70^{\circ}C$ 30분 또는 $121^{\circ}C$ 15분 가열처리한 모델식품을 $5.5^{\circ}C$에서 12일간 저장하면서 pH, 아질산염 잔존량, 적색도, TBA값, 항생역가 등을 측정한 결과 비 가열 시료의 PH는 $5.6{\sim}5.8$로 일정하였으나 아질산염, anise, ascorbic acid, black pepper 처리구의 경우에는 5일 후에 급상승하여 12일 후에는 $6.7{\sim}7.8$로 상승하였다. 한편 $70^{\circ}C$ 및 $121^{\circ}C$로 가열구는 $5.9{\sim}6.1$로 거의 변화가 없었다. 아질산염량은 첫날에 큰 감소를 보이며, 저장기일에 따른 감소효과는 ascorbic acid구가 가장 높고, clove, eugenol, thyme도 상당한 효과를 보였으나 peppermint구는 효과가 적었다. 시료의 적색도는 대조구 보다 낮은 peppermint를 제외하면 ascorbic acid, clove, eugenol, thyme, anise, blackpepper, coriander, rosemary처리구가 대조구 보다 높았으며 그중 ascorbic acid, clove, eugenol첨가구의 경우 저장 12시간 후에 $2{\sim}3$정도 높았다. TBA가는 clove, eugenol, ascorbic acid처리구가 아질산염만 처리한 구보다 $4{\sim}6.5$정도 낮아 강력한 항산화성을 나타냈다. 미생물의 생육을 저해하는 항생역가는 Penicillium에 대해 clove, eugenol, peppermint, thyme 처리구가 강력하였으며, Salmonella에서는 모든 처리구에서 다같이 어느정도의 저해 역가를 나타냈다. 따라서 eugenol, clove, thyme oil을 육제품에 첨가하면 아질산염의 첨가량을 줄일 수 있을 것이다.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the potential of using plant oils derived from Leptospermum petersonii Bailey and Syzygium aromaticum L. Merr. Et Perry as natural antifungal agents. The antifungal effects of essential oils at concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 mg/ml on the dermatophytes Microsporum canis (KCTC 6591), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (KCTC 6077), Trichophyton rubrum (KCCM 60443), Epidermophyton floccosum (KCCM 11667), and Microsporum gypseum were evaluated using the agar diffusion method. The major constituents of the active fraction against the dermatophytes were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. The antifungal activities of S. aromaticum oil (clove oil) against the dermatophytes tested were highest at a concentration of 0.2mg/ml, with an effectiveness of more than 60%. Hyphal growth was completely inhibited in T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, and M. gypseum by treatment with clove oil at a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml. Eugenol was the most effective antifungal constituent of clove oil against the dermatophytes T. mentagrophytes and M. canis. Morphological changes in the hyphae of T. mentagrophytes, such as damage to the cell wall and cell membrane and the expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum, after treatment with 0.11 mg/ml eugenol were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml, L. petersonii oil (LPO) was more than 90% effective against all of the dermatophytes tested, with the exception of T. rubrum. Geranial was determined to be the most active antifungal constituent of L. petersonii oil. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate that clove and tea tree oils exhibited significant antifungal activities against the dermatophytes tested in this study.

Efficacy of different control methods was evaluated for disease management of tomato bacterial wilt caused by $Ralstonia$ $solanacearum$. All six chemical pesticides applied to the bacterial suspension showed $in$ $vitro$ bactericidal activities against $R.$ $solanacearum$. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of copper hydroxide (CH), copper hydroxide-oxadixyl mixture (CH+O), and copper oxychloride-dithianon mixture (CO+D) were all 200 ${\mu}g/ml$; MIC of copper oxychloride-kasugamycin (CO+K) mixture was 100 ${\mu}g/ml$; MICs of both streptomycin- validamycin (S+V) and oxine copper-polyoxine B mixture (OC+PB) were 10 ${\mu}g/ml$. Among these chemical pesticides, treatment of the detached tomato leaves with the 5 pesticides (1 mg/ml), except for OC+PB delayed early wilting symptom development caused by the bacterial inoculation ($10^6$ and $10^7$ cfu/ml). Four pesticides, CH, CH+O, CO+K and S+V, showed disease protection in pot analyses. Six plant essential oils, such as cinnamon oil, citral, clove oil, eugenol, geraniol and limonene, differentially showed their antibacterial activities $in$ $vitro$ against $R.$ $solanacearum$ demonstrated by paper disc assay. Among those, cinnamon oil and clove oil exert the most effective activity for protection from the wilt disease caused by the bacterial infection ($10^6$ cfu/ml). Treatment with cinnamon oil and clove oil also suppressed bacterial disease by a higher inoculum concentration ($10^7$ cfu/ml). Clove oil could be used for prevention of bacterial wilt disease of tomato plants without any phytotoxicity. Thus, we suggest that copper compounds, antibiotics and essential oils have potency as a controlling agent of tomato bacterial wilt.

Purpose: In this paper, we show our blending ratio of 10 types of Essential Oils that survives beneficial bacteria and kills harmful bacteria in the scalp, and we investigate the possibility of application of our blending ratio to the development of anti-dandruff products and the possibility of being used as a raw material for clinical beauty and customized cosmetics. Methods: The scalp microorganisms used in our study were M. furfur, S. epidermidis, E. coli, and P. nitroreducens. There are a total of 10 Essential Oils such as True Lavender, Lime, Roman chamomile, Rosemary camphor, Cedarwood, Geranium, Clove, Tea tree, Palmalosa, and Peppermint. The antibacterial test of the blended Essential Oil was carried out according to the test method of the standardized evaluation methodology of "Food and Food Additives Code". Since M. furfur is related to the growth of sebum in the scalp, in this study we used the fnLNB and the fnLNA with 20 ㎖ of whole fat cow milk added. Results: The blending ratio of EO, which inhibits dandruff-causing bacteria such as M. furfur, S. epidermidis, E. coli, and does not inhibit P. nitroreducens showing dominant growth in a healthy scalp, was B8(Clove 0.2%, Roman chamomile 0.5%, Tea tree 0.3%), B9(Geranium 0.1%, Palmarosa 0.1%, Roman chamomile 0.5%, Tea tree 0.3%), B10(Clove 0.1%, Geranium 0.1%, Palmarosa 0.1%, Roman chamomile 0.5%, Tea tree 0.2%). Conclusion: It is thought that the blending ratio of BEO obtained as a result of this study can provide a basis for use as an alternative to antibiotics in developing anti-dandruff drugs and emerge as a new alternative to solve scalp microbial imbalance. In order for EO to be used as a useful raw material for anti-dandruff preparation, researches on 1) Standardization (the effects of products differ according to the types, regions, climate, extraction methods, etc.), 2) Antimicrobial effects, 3) Safety, etc., must be established.

비듬균(Malassezia furfur) 는 두피 질환을 일으키는 중요한 요소로써 오늘날 이러한 균들을 치료하는 치료제는 거의 없다. 몇몇의 전의 연구에서 오일들의 다양한 생물학적 활성이 보고되어졌지만 그것들의 항비듬균 활성은 거의 연구되지 않았고, 특히 Malassezia furfur에 대한 저해 활성은 보고되어 있지 않다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 Malassezia furfur에 대한 식물 오일들의 저해활성을 평가하고, 이러한 오일 중에서 가장 활성이 좋은 오일을 가스 크로마토그래피(Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry)에 의해 성분을 분석하였다. 1차적으로 108개 오일의 스크리닝 과정에서 17개 오일[Allium sativum L., Carum carvi L., Coriandrum sativum L., Myroxylon balsamum var. pereirae Royle, Nepeta cataria L., Origanum vulgare L., Mentha pulegium L., Satureja hortensis L., Thymus vulgaris L. Thymus vulgaris L., Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, Pimenta dioica(L.) Merr., Eugenia caryophyllata Thumb.(Clove bud), Eugenia caryophyllata Thumb.(Clove leaf), Cymbopogon nardus L., Cymbopogon martinii Stapf., Citrus aurantifolia Swing. and Pimenta racemosa(Mill.) J.W.Moore] 이 2 mg/mL 의 농도에서 대조구인 이크라코나졸(itraconazole)과 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 17개 오일 중에서 Citrus auranifolia 오일이 가장 활성이 좋았으며, 처리농도 (1.5 mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL와 0.1 mg/mL) 에 따라 활성이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 Citrus auranifoli 오일의 가스크로마토그래피(GC-MS) 성분분석 결과 limonene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene and terpinolene의 함유율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 Citrus auranifolia 오일은 곰팡이 유래 질병들을 치료하기 위한 활성성분을 함유하고 있는 것으로 보인다.
