This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of the Viscum album var. coloratum extracts against food-borne pathogens. First, the Viscum album var. coloratum was extracted with methanol at room temperature and the fractionation of the methanol extracts was carried out by using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate, and methanol, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the Viscum album var. coloratum extracts was determined by using a paper disc method against food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria. The petroleum ether extracts of Viscum album var. coloratum showed the highest antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus and Shigella dysenteriae. Synergistic effect in inhibition was observed when Viscum album var. coloratum extract was mixed with Perillae folium extract as compared with each extract alone. Finally, the growth inhibition curves were determined by using petroleum ether extracts of Viscum album var. coloratum against Bacillus cereus and Shigella dysenteriae. The petroleum ether extract of Viscum album var. coloratum had strong antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus at the concentration of 5,000 ppm. At this concentration, the growth of Bacillus cereus was retarded more than 24 hours and up to 12 hours for Shigella dysenteriae. In conclusion, the petroleum ether extracts of Viscum album var. coloratum inhibit efficiently Bacillus cereus and Shigella dysenteriae.

This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of soy protein isolate (SPI) film containing green tea extract (GTE, 1-4%, w/w) on dental caries-inducing bacterium (Streptococcus mutans), food pathogenic (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli 0157, Salmonella typhimurium), and spoilage (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. The physical and mechanical properties of the SPI film containing GTE were also studied. The SPI film containing GTE (4%, w/w) exhibited good antimicrobial activity against S. mutans and S. aureus. The antimicrobial activity of the SPI film containing GTE increased against S. mutans as the concentration of GTE increased up to 4%(w/w). SPI films containing GTE showed lower tensile strength and elongation, and higher total soluble matter than those of control SPI film. Therefore, GTE can be used as one of antimicrobial agents for anti-dental caries and food packaging films.

A bacteriological survey for 20 large grocery stores (M 1 to M20) in Korea was investigated for one year. The average detection rate of Esherichia coli was $22\%$ (166/763) for 7 kinds of ready-to-eat food through the year, where each grocery store and each type of food showed different detection rates. Eleven grocery stores showed lower detection rates, while 9 grocery stores showed a higher than average rate. Especially, M3 showed a rate that was twice as high as the average and one which was 7 times higher than M14, which had the lowest rate of $6\%$ E. coli detection. The detection rate for each type of food was: $38\%$ (41/109) for Kimbop, $31\%$ (34/109) for vegetable salad, $19\%$ (21/109) for bean-curd, $18\%$ (20/109) for the cooked materials used in making Kimbop, $17\%$ (19/109) for Hoe (sliced raw fish) and Sushi (Japanese vinegared rice delicacies), and $11\%$ (12/109) for cooked pork hock. During the summer, the E. coli detection rate averaged $43\%$ (71/166), which was twice as high as other seasons. Most (89/100) of the food contacting surfaces contained more than the critical limit $(1.3\;log_{10}\;CFU/10cm^2)$ of aerobic viable cell counts (AVC). The $log_{10}$ AVC and $log_{10}$ coliform count (CC) of 218 meat samples (beef, pork, and chicken) ranged between 4.6-7.1 CFU/g and 1.9-6.4 CFU/g, except for 41 meat samples $(19\%)$ which were found to contain no coliform. There was a definite correlation between the $log_{10}$ AVC and $log_{10}$ CC, and the values of $log_{10}$ CC made a more accurate straight than the $log_{10}$ AVC, which are variable. From these results, it is suggested that a detection rating of less than 2.1 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ CC (correspond to 5.0 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ AVC) is the critical point of freshness, and a rating of more than 6.3 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ CC (correspond to 7.0 CFU/g of $log_{10}$ AVC) can be considered an initial spoilage point.

Background: This study aimed to provide a basic standard for assessing freshness and acceptability of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Methods: It was divided into whole body and meat and stored at 25 ℃ to evaluate both quality and freshness changes that occur over time. The shelf life of shrimp was estimated as 17 and 20 h for whole body and meat, respectively. Results: In chemical analysis, K-value increased from 9.96 to 12.32% to a maximum of 75.14%, and TVB-N increased from 1.86 mg/100 g to 34.71 mg/100 g. For volatile sulfur compounds, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl disulfide increased from 0.00 mg/100 g to 1.10 mg/100 g and 1.26 mg/100 g, respectively, rapidly increasing with decreasing freshness. Conclusion: Changes in all biochemical indicators significantly correlated with the sensory evaluation results. This study contributes to the knowledge about whiteleg shrimp spoilage and freshness, providing a basis for developing methods to improve shrimp quality control and management.

White, red, and extruded ginsengs were studied against 8 strains of food-borne pathogens and/or food spoilage microorganisms. The ginseng powders were extracted with different extractants and screened for antimicrobial activity using the disc diffusion and broth dilution techniques. The results showed that the yield of extraction was higher with increase of aqueous solution content and temperature. Preliminary screening revealed that the red ginseng extracts were most active, that has been found to be highly effective against all tested microbe except Listeria monocytogenes. Moreover, Bacillus subtilis has shown highly susceptible, which the diameters of inhibition zone values of 28 extracts were between 7 and 14 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) recorded for the different crude ginseng extracts against microorganism using ranged from 6.25 to 100 mg/mL, indicated that the methanol extract of ginseng were more effective than ethanol and water extracts. The 60% methanol extract of red ginseng had the greatest effects against B. subtilis with MIC and MBC values at 6.25 mg/mL.

두부의 응고제와 침지액을 달리하여 저장 중 침지액의 미생물상과 이화학적인 변화를 검토하였다. 두부는 HAc로 응고시키는 것이 $CaCl_2$보다 저장성 향성에 효과적이었고 $CaCl_2$로 제조한 두부는 $30^{\circ}C$에서 15-17시간만에 부패가 시작되어 세균수는 $10^7cells/ml$에 달하였다. 침지액은 0.1% HAc용액이 3% NaCl 용액이나 0.1% K-sorbate용액보다 두부저장에 효과적이었다. 침지액의 탁도는 두부가 부패함에 따라 비례적으로 증가하였으며 3% NaCl이나 0.1% K-sorbate 용액에 침지할 때 탁도의 증가는 심하였다. 두부의 부패가 진행될수록 침지액의 적정산도와 아미노태 질소량은 증가하였으며 pH는 1-2일 후에 증가하였다.

생강의 소포장화 유통을 위한 기초연구의 하나로서, 적정 필름의 선정과 결로현상을 방지하기 위하여 두께 0.04, 0.06, 0.08mm의 LDPE 필름에 생강을 저장함과 동시에 0.06mm의 LDPE 필름에 흡습제를 sachet형태와 씨트 형태로 첨가한 다음 생강을 150일 동안 저장하면서 생강의 MA 저장 중 필름 두께 및 흡습제의 첨가방법에 따른 저장 효과를 조사하였다. 흡습제를 첨가하지 않은 MAP방법에서는 필름두께별로 저장 150일 동안 중량 감소율 및 경도의 변화는 거의 차이가 없었으나, 발아율, 부패율 및 환원당 함량에서는 필름두께가 얇은 것일수록 변화속도가 낮게 나타나고 있었다. 또한 0.06mm의 LDPE 필름에 흡습제를 첨가한 MAP방법에서는 흡습제를 첨가하지 않은 동일 두께의 MAP방법보다 중량감소율은 약 3-4배 정도 높게 나타났으나 발아율, 부패율 및 환원당의 증가현상을 억제하는 효과가 3.3, 1.4, 2.3배 정도 각각 억제할 수 있는 효과가 있었으며, 특히 발아율 기준으로 한 저장수명은 약 3배 정도 연장할 수 있는 효과가 있었다.

항균활성을 가진 유산균은 생균제 등의 형태로 식품 중 부패나 식중독을 유발하는 유해균을 저해하는데 효과적으로 활용할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 된장에서 분리한 유산균인 P. pentosaceus M132-2 균주를 주요 오염 곰팡이 3종을 대상으로 분석한 결과, 이들의 생장을 모두 저해하여 항곰팡이능을 보유한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 M132-2 균주는 우수한 내염성과 저온내성을 가지고 있어 치즈의 염도와 저온의 숙성온도에서도 생존이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 M132-2 상등액을 실제 고다 치즈에 적용한 결과, 오염 곰팡이 생장이 현저하게 저해되는 것을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 P. pentosaceus M132-2 균주는 치즈를 비롯한 다양한 식품의 부패 방지에 활용할 수 있는 유용한 수단이 될 수 있다.

가열소시지의 부패에 관여하는 균에 대한 항균성은 키토산의 분자량이 클수록 높은 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 분자량이 약 1 kDa과 5 kDa의 키토산은 약한 항균성을 나타냈으나 30 kDa과 120 kDa의 키토산은 강한 항균성을 나타냈는데, 그 중에서도 특히 분자량 약 120 kDa의 키토산이 가장 강한 항균성을 나타냈다. 키토산을 첨가하여 제조한 유화형 소시지를 $30^{\circ}C$에 보존하면서 보존성을 관찰한 결과, 분자량 약 30 kDa과 120 kDa의 키토산을 첨가한 경우 높은 보존효과를 나타냈다. 특히 분자량 약 120 kDa의 키토산을 0.5%첨가한 경우는 아질산염을 완전히 대체하는 보존효과를 나타냈다. 또한 분자량 약 30 kDa의 키토산을 0.2%이상 첨가하고 아질산염을 75 ppm 첨가하면 거의 완전한 보존효과를 나타냈고, 아질산염을 전혀 첨가하지 않아도 상당히 강한 보존효과를 나타내어 $30^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 저장해도 부패되지 않았다. 본 실험의 결과 키토산의 항균성 및 보존효과는 분자량이 클수록 우수하여, 소시지와 같은 가열 식품에 있어 분자량 약 30 kDa이상의 키토산을 첨가하면 보존성을 향상시크는데 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
