In order to prevent the postharvest decay and to promote the freshness retention of fruits and vegetables grapefruit seed extract(GFSE), natural microorganism control agent, was applied to the preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables. Freshfruits and vegetables treated with GFSE and stored in polyethylene film (0.1mm) at 1$0^{\circ}C$-15$^{\circ}C$ of natural low temperature low kept better qualities in color and texture than the GFSE -not- treated control. The treatment using GFSE ina 250ppm to 500ppm concentration seemed to be an effective one for the control of Botrytis cinerea isolated in red wine grapes. After 4 weeks of storage the firmness rate of cucumbers treated with the dilute GFSE was four times higher than that of non-treated ones. GFSE showed effective inhibitory action towards plant pathological bacteria and fungi which were involved in the decay of fruits and vegetables. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of GFSE towards them were in the range of 250ppm to 500ppm .Direct visualization of microbial cells and spores using electron microscopy showed microbial cells and fungal spores the function of which was destroyed by treating with the dilute solutions of GFSE. It was observed that GFSE would reduced disease damages and have bactericide & fungicide properties during the storage of such fruits and vegetables as egg plant, wild edible greens , kumquat, and kiwi fruit.

콘택트렌즈 관리용액으로 사용되는 합성보존제로서 대표적인 $H_2O_2$와 천연보존제인 자몽씨 추출물(DF-100)이 결막세포에 미치는 저해효과를 비교 조사하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 자몽씨 추출물의 주성분은 Narigin이며, 이는 항산화를 일으키는 Flavonoid의 구성성분중 하나이다. $H_2O_2$와 자몽씨 추출물(DF-100)의 세포는 MTT assay에 의해 측정하였고, DNA 손상은 Comet assay 측정으로 분석하였다. 5%의 자몽씨 추출물은 과산화수소에 의해 손상된 세포를 회복시켜주는 효과를 나타내었으며, 또한 배양 결막세포주에 과산화수소 및 자몽씨 추출물을 농도별로 동시 처리하여 24시간 뒤 LDH leakage assay용 이용한 세포독성을 측정하여 분석하였다. 자몽씨 추출물은 과산화수소의 세포증식 저해와 apoptosis를 현저하게 억제해 주었다. 또한 자몽씨 추출물은 bioflavonoids의 구성성분이며 이는 음식으로써도 제공된다. 이 연구는 자몽씨 추출물이 anti-oxidant와 anti-apoptopic activity로 천연보존제로 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 것을 보여준다.
