This study was conducted to investigate the shelf life of beef stored in antimicrobial pottery during 12days storage at 4'C and Five kinds of antimicrobial potteries were prepared with antimicrobial materials such as TiO$_2$, Ag (NO$_3$)$_2$, Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$ and Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$. In changes of color during storage, Hunter's L- and b-value of beef were not changed, but Hunter's a-value was low significantly. The pH of beef meats were low at 6 days, but were added from 6 days. TBA value of beef in "A" pottery containing TiO$_2$ 1% and "C" Pottery containing TiO$_2$ 0.5%, Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$ were lower than "B", "D" and "I" pottery. VBN contents of beef in "A", "B", "C", "D" and "I" Pottery stored during 12 days were 9.8, 12.5, 9.3, 11.9 and 13.7mg%, respectively. In changes of total plate count of beef during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, the antimicrobial activity of "A" and "C" pottery were superior.g storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, the antimicrobial activity of "A" and "C" pottery were superior.ttery were superior.
