약용식물로부터 항균활성소재를 ethanol로 추출하고, 각 추출물의 시설원예산물에 대한 선도유지제로서의 기능과 효능을 입증하기 위하여, 변패된 시설원예산물에서 분리된 Bacillus cereus, Corynebacterium xerosis, Pseudomonas syringae 및 Enterobacter aerogenes를 공시균주로 사용하여 항균성을 실험한 결과, 호장, 정향, 치자, 황금, 적작약, 결명자 등에서 항균성을 확인하였고, 여기에서
To investigate the function and effectiveness of natural antimicrobial agent(NAA), as freshness preserving material, extracted from medicinal herbs, their antimicrobial activities were tested against Bacillus cereus, Corynebacterium xerosis, Peudomonas syringae and Enterobacter aerogenes causing the postharvest decay of greenhouse produce. The ethanol extracts of Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc and Syzyrium aromaticum (L.) Merr. et Perry showed remarkable inhibitory effect on the growth of above-mentioned reference microorganisms when treated with mon than 500ppm. The antimicrobial activities of NAA were very stable in the wide spectrum of temperature (40-180) and pH(4-10).
