Edible red algae paper coated with green tea ext Tact was prepared and determined the microbial growth and quality change of kimbab wrapped with the paper during storage. The paper coated with green tea extract had the antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. After 12 hr of storage of kimbab, packaging with the paper coated with green tea extract decreased populations of total aerobic bacteria by 1 log cycle. Kimbab wrapped with the red algae paper coated with green tea extract had 5.5 mg malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg after 12 hr, in contrast to the control of 7.4 mg MDA/kg. Kimbab with red algae paper with green tea extract was better than the control in terms of sensory qualities. These results clearly indicate that kimbab can be packaged with red algae paper coated with green tea extract, resulting in extending its shelf life.

A bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacterium, which strongly inhibited the Lactobacillus plantarum recognized as an important acid spoilage microorganism in kimchi fermentation, was isolated from kimchi. From morphological, physiological, sugar fermentation, biochemical tests, and l6S rDNA sequencing results, the isolate was identified as an Enterococcus sp. and designated as Enterococcus sp. K25. The bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus sp. K25 inhibited several Gram-positive bacteria, including Lb. plantarum, whereas it did not inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Optimal temperature and pH for the bacteriocin production were $25^\circ{C}$ and 5.5, respectively. Enterococcus sp. K25 was applied to kimchi manufacturing alone and together with other preservatives (i.e., chitosan and fumaric acid). In addition, growth of lactic acid bacteria, pH, and titratable acidity (TA) were measured during aging at $5^\circ{C}$ and $10^\circ{C}$. Inoculation of Enterococcus sp. K25 together with fumaric acid showed the most synergistic effect on extension of kimchi shelf-life. Compared to control (no addition), the treatment prolonged the kimchi shelf-life up to 6 days, whereupon the eight-point TA value recognized as the edible limit was reached.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of combined treatments (slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW), ultrasound (US), or mild heat (60℃)) on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in fresh-cut bell pepper, and the shelf-life and sensory quality (color and texture) were followed during storage at 4℃ and 25℃. An additional 0.65, 1.72, and 2.70 log CFU/g reduction was achieved by heat treatments at 60℃ for 1 min for DW, SAEW, and SAEW+US, respectively. Regardless of the type of pathogen, the combined treatment (SAEW+US+60℃) achieved a significantly (p < 0.05) longer lag time in all treatment groups. This combined treatment also prolonged the shelf-life of bell pepper up to 8 days and 30 h for the storage at 4℃ and 25℃, respectively. There was also no significant difference in the color and hardness of treated (SAEW+US+60℃) bell pepper from that of control during the storage. This new hurdle approach is thus expected to improve the microbial safety of bell peppers during storage and distribution.

Intense pulsed light(IPL) has been highlighted as an innovative nonthermal sterilization technology that can kill spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms by using short-duration pulses of intense broad-spectrum electromagnetic radiation. This paper examines the inactivation effects of IPL on Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculated on seafood products such as salmon, flatfish, and shrimps and evaluates the possibility of extending the shelf-life of seafood products. The results indicate that the inactivation of microorganisms increased with an increase in IPL energy density($J/cm^2$) and a decrease in the distance between the sample surface and the lamp. In addition, temperature increases on the fish fillets during the treatments were well controlled within the range of 5.7~$9.8^{\circ}C$. The IPL treatment had a significant positive effect on the storage stability of seafood products at the storage temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. These results suggest that the storage period for fish fillets can be extended from 4 days to 6~8 days through the IPL treatment.

Antimicrobial activity of persimmon leaf tea methanol extracts on Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus was examined through paper disk diffusion bioassay. K. pneumoniae and S. aureus showed 87.64 and 99.35% growth inhibitions by addition of steamed tea methanol extracts (10 mg/ml), respectively. The number of microorganisms in rice cakes was significantly reduced when leaf tea powder was added during production of rice cakes. Addition of 1% steamed leaf teas to rice cakes decreased the number of microorganisms by over 50%, and over 70% reduction was observed when final 2% (dried weight w/w) steamed leaf tea was added, whereas no significant effect was observed over 2%. These results indicate that different microorganisms were detected from persimmon leaf and rice cake, and persimmon leaf can inhibit normal microbial growth in rice cake.

This study investigated quality changes in fresh-cut burdocks treated with hot water and anti-browning agents. The combined treatment using both heat treatment and anti-browning agents delayed the browning of burdocks, especially for those dipped in hot water and a solution of green tea extract plus NaCl. This treatment reduced the respiration rate and inhibited the growth of microorganisms more than heat treatment alone. The organoleptic quality of burdocks treated with the combined method proved to be the best according to sensory evaluation. Hence, this combined treatment using heat and anti-browning agents can enhance overall quality of processed fresh-cut root vegetables by browning inhibition and shelf-life extension.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of pine pollen and horseradish, which were known as antimicrobial materials, on the fermentation of Kimchi. The physicochemical and microbial changes of Kimchi were investigated during period 30-days at $10^{\circ}C$. Even though Kimchi added pine pollen or horseradish powder were sustained the higher pH and lower acidity after 10 days, it delayed only 1∼2 more days to reach optimal value of Kimchi fermentation in experimental groups than control. The horseradish powder showed the antimicrobial effect of Kimchi at initial stage, but thereafter that effect of pine pollen or horseradish were not significant. Therefore the addition of pine pollen or horseradish powder to Kimchi is not sufficiently effective for extension of shelf-life of Kimchi.

The effect of entrapping isothiocyanates extracted from horseradish root by microencapsulation on the shelf life of Myeongran jeotgal was evaluated. The total viable cell count of Myeongran jeotgal reached $10^7CFU/g$ (initial decomposition level) on days 43 and 45 of treatment with 1.0% and 2.0% microcapsules (4.0 mg/mL), respectively, compared with day 21 of storage at $5^{\circ}C$ as the control treatment. The proteolytic bacterial counts of Myeongran jeotgal treated with 1.0% and 2.0% microcapsules were $2.0{\times}10^5$ and $9.5{\times}10^4CFU/g$, respectively, with 2 and 3 log reductions compared with the control count ($1.1{\times}10^7CFU/g$) on day 33 of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) level reached 30.0 mg% (initial decomposition level) on days 47 and 48 of treatment with 1.0% and 2.0% microcapsules, respectively, compared with day 33 of storage at $5^{\circ}C$ as the control. Based on the sensory evaluation, the freshness of Myeongran jeotgal treated with 1.0% microcapsules was best compared with the other treatments. Based on the total viable cell count, TVB-N and sensory evaluation, the shelf life of Myeongran jeotgal treated with 1.0% microcapsules was extended by 22, 16 and 15 days, respectively, compared with the control at $5^{\circ}C$.
