자두류중 후무사를 6월 말경에 처음으로 수확하여 5일 간격으로 6차례 채취한 다음 최종 수확 10∼25일전 까지의 후무사 1-4를 미숙과로, 최종 수확 0∼5일전까지의 후무사 5, 6은 완숙과로 구분한 후 각각 메탄을 추출물을 제조하여 대표적인 식중독 세균 4종에 대한 항균력을 조사하였다. 각 균에 대한 후무사의 항균력은 시료 농도가 증가할수록 높은 저해를 보였고, 특히 5.0 mg/disc의 농도에서는 이들 4종의 균 모두에서 가장 높은 항균활

To determine the antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts form 'Formosa' plum against 4 kinds of pathogenic bacteria, the fermosa were got at different growth stages and were extracted using methanol, respectively. The Formosa methanol extracts treated with 5.0 mg/disc showed the highest antimicrobial activity against 4 kinds of pathogenic bacteria and those of Formosa 1-4(immature fruit), which thin out 10∼25 days before foal harvest, showed higher antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms than Formosa 5-6(mature fruit). Especially, the methanol extracts of Formosa 1 and 2 were exhibited the strongest growth inhibiting activities to these bacteria. The minimal inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of immature Fomosa methanol extracts was 320 /mL against Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and 160 /mL against Staphylococcus aureus respectively. The MIC of immature Formosa methanol extracts to Salmonella typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes were 640 /mL. These results suggest that methanol extracs of immature formosa can be used as an effective natural antimicrobial agent in food.
