Essential oils are mixtures of volatile, lipophilic compounds originating from plants. Some essential oils have useful biological activities including antimicrobial, spasmolytic, antiplasmodial, and insect-repelling activities. In this study, we tested the antimicrobial activity of essential oil prepared from the aromatic plant, Cymbopogon citrates, against three important plant pathogenic and medical microorganisms, Pectobacterium carotovorum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Aspergillus niger. It effectively inhibited the growth of the bacterium, Pectobacterium carotovorum, in a dose-dependent fashion, and 0.5% of the oil inhibited the growth of bacteria completely. Similarly, the essential oil inhibited the growth of plant pathogenic fungus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and the addition of 1% of essential oil completely inhibited the growth of fungus even after 5 days of culture. Finally, it effectively inhibited the growth of the medically and industrially important fungal species, Aspergillus spp. These results suggest that the essential oil from Cymbopogon citrates may be an environmentally safe alternative to inhibit antimicrobial agents for various uses.

We analyzed the total yields and composition of essential oils in leaf extracts of Nepeta cataria by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty-six compounds representing 97.0% of total oil were detected. The major constituents of essential oils in Nepeta cataria were nepetalactone (90.9%), unidentified compound (Retention time 17.35; 1.82%), 1,8-cineol (1.49%), ${\beta}-caryophyllene$ (1.12%), and ${\beta}-pinene$ (1.078%). The volatile compounds in leaf extracts of N. cataria concentrated to nepetalactone ($88.83{\sim}93.33%$) remarkably. In the essential oil of N. cataria cis,trans-nepetalactone ($30.2{\sim}37.8%$) and cis,cis-nepetalactone ($31.5{\sim}37.0%$) were found as the main constituents. The effects of essential oil of N. cataria on the growth of six microorganisms (Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were investigated. The essential oil of N. cataria had strong inhibitory effect on the growth of three fungal species (Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, and B. amyloliquefaciens). The essential oil from N. cataria was found to have a low antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, while no activity were found against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results indicate the significant antimicrobial effect, which may be depended on the yield of nepetalactone.

한약재 향유의 정유성분, absolute 및 oleoresin을 추출분리 동정하고, 지질과산화 억제활성, 세포독성, 돌연변이 유발성 검정 및 거담효과 등의 생리활성을 측정하였다. 향유의 정유성분의 수율은 0.34%이었으며, naginate ketone이 29.37%와 elsholtizia ketone이 14.37%로 가장 많이 함유되어 있었다. 향유의 absolutes의 수율은 11.33%이었으며, methyl linolenate가 12.07%이었고, palmitic acid 10.46% 비율로 존재하고 있었다. 향유의 oleoresins의 수율은 15.24%이었으며, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid가 18.62%로 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있었다. 세 방법의 지질과산화 억제활성시험에서 향유의 정유성분과 oleoresins을 $200\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$의 농도로 처리했을 때 지질과산화를 잘 억제하였으나. absolutes는 같은 농도에서 거의 억제하지 못하였다. 향유의 정유성분과 oleoresins은 24시간에서 $EC_{50}$값이 $25\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$이하로 고농도에서만 약간의 세포독성이 있으며, 향유의 absolues와 oleoresins은 고 농도에서도 돌연변이 유발성과 향균성이 나타나지 않았으나 정유성분은 $500\;{\mu}g/plate$ 이상 처리시 돌연변이 유발성 뿐만 아니라 항균성도 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향유의 정유성분과 oleoresins은 약간의 거담효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

국내에서 소비되고 있는 대표적인 향신료 중의 하나인 생강의 essential oil 조성을 분석코저 SDE 방법에 의해서 분리하여 silica gel column chromatography에 의해 탄화수소 화합물 분획과 함산소화합물 분획으로 분리한 다음 GC 및 GC-MS에 의해 성분을 확인하였다. 신선한 생강의 essential oil의 수율은 0.32%로서 탄화수소화합물 분획이 68.1%, 함산소화합물 분획이 31.9%를 차지하였으며, mass spectrum에 의해서 잠정적으로 확인된 47종을 포함하여 101종의 성분이 확인되었다. 그 중 탄화수소화합물 분획에서는 camphene, ${\beta}-phellandrene$, zingiberene, ${\gamma}-bisabolene,\;{\bate}-bisabolene$, ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$이 주성분이었으며, 함산소화합물 분획에서는 1,8-cineol, neral, geranyl acetate, citronellol, geranial, ${\alpha}-terpineol+borneol$등이 주성분이었다. 외국산 생강의 essential oil의 조성과 비교한 결과 국내산 생강은 essential oil의 수율은 높은 편이나 sesquiterpene hydrocarbon의 함량이 높은 경향을 보였다.

To develop systems for economic production of useful essential oil compounds, callus was induced from the seedlings of Agastache rugosa and cultured on MS medium. The volatile oil fraction was extracted from the callus and investigated by mean of GC-MS. The composition of the oil was compared with that of the mother plant. As a result, sixty five compounds including ferruginol were identified in the essential oil fraction. The main component of the oil from the leaves of Agastache rugosa was methyl chavichol (53.6%). Methyl jasmonate and jasmonic acid were added to the culturing cell suspension, separately and the composition of induced oil were compared. The oils from cultured cells treated with jasmonates showed considerably different patterns. Especially, the peak of estragole was found in callus oil after treatment with methyl jasmonate as though the amount was limited to 0.58%. In general, the TIC pattern of GC-MS of the callus oil became more similar to the oil from the leaves after elicitation.

Purpose: Essential oils are secondary metabolites of herbs and have antibacterial activities against foodborne pathogens. However, their applications for food protection are limited due to the hydrophobic and volatile natures of essential oils. Methods: In this study, essential oil nanoemulsions of rosemary and lavender were formulated with non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 and water using ultrasonic emulsification, and their antibacterial effects were determined. Results: The antibacterial activities of nanoemulsions were evaluated against 12 strains of 10 bacterial species, and significant antibacterial effects were observed against four Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria but not against Streptococcus mutans and Shigella sonnei. In the disc diffusion test, the diameter of the inhibition zone proportionally increased with the concentration of nanoemulsions. Using cell turbidity measurement, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the nanoemulsions, which is the lowest concentration reducing viability of the initial bacterial inoculum by ${\geq}99.9%$, was significantly higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the nanoemulsions. The largest bactericidal effects of lavender and rosemary essential oil nanoemulsions were observed against S. enterica and S. aureus, respectively. Conclusion: Nanoemulsion technique could improve antibacterial activity of essential oil nanoemulsions by increasing the solubility and stability of essential oils. Our findings shed light on the potential use of essential oil nanoemulsions as an alternative to chemical sanitizers in food protection.

본 연구에서 사용된 클로브 에센셜 오일은 로즈마리 에센셜 오일보다 강력한 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. 토종닭 후라이드 치킨 제조 과정 중 로즈마리와 클로브 에센셜 오일의 첨가는 일반성분, pH, TBARS와 관능적 특성에 있어 유의적인 효과를 줄 수 없었다. 0.005CB를 제외한 모든 에센셜 오일 첨가 처리구는 Control보다 낮은 가열감량을 보였고 0.005CB에서는 높은 픽업률을 보였다(P<0.05). 토종닭 후라이드 치킨의 지방산 조성을 측정한 결과, 클로브 에센셜 오일의 항산화 효과로 인하여 0.005CB와 0.01CB는 Control보다 높은 수준의 arachidonic acid를 나타내었다. 토종닭 후라이드 치킨의 휘발성 유기 화합물을 측정한 결과, 로즈마리 에센셜 오일의 특정 풍미성분들이 토종닭 후라이드 치킨에 마스킹 되었고 클로브 에센셜 오일의 항산화 능력을 통해 몇몇 pyrazine류의 물질들을 감소시켰다. 본 연구 데이터는 향후 로즈마리와 클로브 에센셜 오일을 첨가하여 제조한 토종닭 후라이드 치킨의 저장성 연구에 있어 기초 데이터로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
