딸기를 항균소재에 침지 처리한 후 1% 농도로 항균성 소재를 첨가시킨 저밀도폴리에틸렌(LDPE) 필름에 의하여 딸기를 싸서 포장하고 5에 저장하면서 미생물 성장, 부패율, 텍스쳐, 화학적 품질을 측정한 결과 대조구에 비교해서 긍정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 즉, 항균성 소재를 포함시킨 LDPE 필름은 무첨가 대조 필름에 비해 호기성 총균수, 효모/곰팡이수로 측정된 미생물의 증식을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 미생물 증식억제의 효과로 인하여

Coptis chinensis extract and grapefruit seed extract, natural antimicrobial substances, were applied to the dipping treatment of strawberry and incorporated in the packaging films. Strawberry was steeped in the extract solutions of 50 ppm concentration and packed with the low density polyethylene(LDPE) films incorporated with 1% extracts. During the storage at 5, the qualities of microbial counts, awぶy ratio, texture and chemical attributes were measured for the pretreated strawberry. The LDPE films incorporated with the extracts retarded the growth of aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast that had been contaminated before the pretreatment, significantly lowed the decay ratio, and gave better retention of textural firmness. The chemical and physical qualities of strawberry were not affected by the packaging films. When strawberry was steeped in the extract solutions, the effects of the packaging film incorporated with the extracts on the qualities of strawberry were accelerated.
