Hwangryeon (Coptidis rhizoma) was extracted by methanol and its antimicrobial activities against food spoilage and foodborne disease microorganisms were investigated by the paper-disc method. The microorganisms used in this experiment included 5 species of bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus) and 3 species of fungi (Fusarium solani, Aspergillus flavus, and Penicillium citreonigrum). The Hwangryeon extract showed antimicrobial effect against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. typhimurium, and K. pneumonia. The minimum inhibitory concentration on S. aureus, S. typhimurium, and K. pneumoniae was 300 mg/mL, but on P. aeruginosa it was 200 mg/mL. In the methanol extracts from Hwangryeon, 190 compounds were separated by GC/MS. The extraction yields of phenols, furans, alcohols, acids and esters, ketones, and miscellaneous compounds were 28.10%, 2.67%, 1.79%, 12.89%, and 2.35%, respectively. The phenolic compounds, generally understood to be an antimicrobial active substance, was measured at 28.10%, a relatively remarkable amount.

Antimicrobial peptides exhibit high levels of antimicrobial activity against a broad range of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Compared with bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria, antimicrobial peptides from the genus Bacillus have been relatively less recognized despite their broad antimicrobial spectra. These peptides can be classified into two different groups based on whether they are ribosomally (bacteriocins) or nonribosomally (polymyxins and iturins) synthesized. Because of their broad spectra and high activity, antimicrobial peptides from Bacillus spp. may have great potential for applications in the food, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries to prevent or control spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. In this review, we introduce ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, the lantibiotic bacteriocins produced by members of Bacillus. In addition, the biosynthesis, genetic organization, mode of action, and regulation of subtilin, a well-investigated lantibiotic from Bacillus subtilis, are discussed.

This study mainly investigated the improvement effect of nitroso-hemoglobin (NO-Hb) and four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Streptococcus thermophiles, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, and Montessori enterococcus) on the color and microbiological qualities of raw beef. Three strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, and Pseudomonas were used as pathogenic bacteria. The results showed that both NO-Hb and LAB could enhance the color stability and scavenged the spoilage bacteria in a minced beef model. But the improvement effect of NO-Hb was more significant than LAB. This suggested that NO-Hb, as a novel ingredient, could be used as a promising substitute for nitrite in meat products to improve the color and safety of meat products. In addition, low field (LF)-NMR method has been established to be practicable to identify changes in the relaxation times of water and fat caused by different type of bacteria and the storage periods. The number of relaxation components in minced beef was affected by bacteria and increase of the storage period.

The antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of Cornus officinalis against some bacteria related to foodborne illness and food spoilage was investigated. In the case of the disc diffusion assay, clear zones due to the inhibition of proliferation by Cornus officinalis extract were 8.5~18.3 mm at $4,000{\mu}g/disc$. The inhibitory effect of Cornus officinalis was as follows: Escherichia. coli ${\geq}$ Listeria monocytogenes ${\geq}$ E. coli O157:H7 > Bacillus cereus > Staphylococcus aureus > Pseudomonas aeruginosa > Salmonella typhimurium. In addition, the MIC of Cornus officinalis extract toward B. cereus was the lowest at 1,000 ppm. The extract inhibited the growth of E. coli, L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, and Bacillus cereus throughout the growth stage. However, the growth of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and S. typhimurium was only inhibited by the extract during the lag phase. The constituents of all cells tested were released, especially E. coli and E. coli O157:H7. Observation of the cells using SEM demonstrated a morphological change and disruption of cells in response to treatment with Cornus officinalis extract. Based on these findings, the ethanol extracts of Cornus officinalis showed strong antimicrobial activity against all tested bacteria, indicating that Cornus officinalis can be a useful natural antimicrobial reagent.

The shelf lift of market milk should be determined based on the flavor which is influenced by environmental and sanitary conditions of dairy farm, milk processing plant, and storage and transportation facility as well as compositional quality, such as protein and fat, of the milk itself. The legal shelf life of market milk is often limited by microbiological quality, e.g. total bacterial count, coliform count, and food poisoning bacteria. The bacteria involved with milk spoilage and poisoning are originated from bacteria contaminating milk after pasteurization or spores surviving the heat treatment of pasteurization. The important factors which influence the shelf life of market milk are microbiological quality of raw milk, pasteurization condition, post-pasteurization contamination, and temperature during storage and transportation. The organoleptic quality and shelf life of market milk should be further improved by satisfying the consumer's taste, which depends on somatic cell count and bacterial count of milk, feed quality, foreign substance in milk, and physical treatment during processing and transportation.

Antimicrobial coating on chicken carcasses may reduce the effects of cross-contamination and improve product shelf-life and safety. Thyme oil was mixed at 0.5%(v/v) with a pre-gelatinized pea starch coating solution. The coating solution was spread on chicken breast meat after inoculation with selected spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. After inoculation, the chicken meats were packaged in plastic bags and stored at $4^{\circ}C$. During 12 day storage, total aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and inoculated organisms were counted at 4 day intervals. Thyme oil treatments reduced the viability of Salmonella as well as the growth of Listeria and Pseudomonas by 2 log CFU/g, and appeared to eliminate inoculated Campylobacter during storage. The addition of thyme oil increased the viscosity of the pre-gelatinized pea starch solution. The results suggested that thyme oil inclusion in an edible starch coating may be a satisfactory delivery system to enhance the safety of processed fresh meat.

Chryseobacterium mulctrae KACC 21234^T is a novel species isolated from raw bovine milk. Psychrotrophic bacteria are considered contaminants and are hypothesized to originate from the environment. In this investigation, the C. mulctrae KACC 21234^T genome was determined to be 4,868,651 bp long and assembled into four contigs with a G+C ratio of 33.8%. In silico genomic analyses revealed the presence of genes encoding proteases (endopeptidase Clp, oligopeptidase b, carboxypeptidase) and lipases (phospholipase A(2), phospholipase C, acylglycerol lipase) that can catalyze the degradation of the proteins and lipids in milk, causing its quality to deteriorate. Additionally, antimicrobial resistance and putative bacteriocin genes were detected, potentially intensifying the pathogenicity of the strain. The genomic evidence presented highlights the need for improved screening protocols to minimize the potential contamination of milk by proteolytic and lipolytic psychrotrophic bacteria.

이 연구는 기능성 요구르트를 이용한 신선계육의 포장이 냉장유통조건에서 닭고기의 미생물학적, 이화학적, 그리고 관능적 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 닭고기의 가슴살, 정육, 절단육을 기능성 요구르트와 함께 폴리에칠렌 백에 포장한 다음, $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 0, 2, 4, 7일 후에 시료를 채취하여 미생물학적, 이화학적 품질 특성을 요구르트를 첨가하지 않은 대조구와 비교하였다. 기능성 요구르트를 첨가한 포장에서 저장기간을 통하여 총미생물수와 대장균군의 수가 현저하게 감소하였으며, 대조구의 경우에는 $10^{\circ}C$에서 2일 저장 후에 미생물학적 또는 관능적인 품질 기준의 한계에 도달하였으나, 기능성 요구르트를 첨가한 포장에서는 동일한 조건에서 4일 후에도 신선육의 품질기준에 적합한 상태로 유지되었다. 따라서 이 연구에서 확인된 결과에 의하면 기능성 요구르트를 이용한 신선계육의 포장방법은 냉장유통 되는 닭고기의 총세균수와 대장균수를 현저히 낮추어줌으로써 유통기한을 연장할 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
