항균력의 우수성이 확인된 천연항균소재인 대황추출물, 황련추출물 및 자몽종자추출물을 시설채소산물인 호박의 선도유지용 표면처리제 및 포장소재로 개발하여 저장실험을 실시한 견과는 다음과 같다. 호박을 항균소재에 침지처리한 후, 항균필름에 포장하고 1에서 저장하면서 저장호박의 경도, ascortbic acid함량, 중량손실을, 미생물 성장도 및 부패율을 측정한 결과, 대조구에 비교해서 긍정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 대조구(LDPE) 필름에 비교

The antimicrobial extracts of Rheum palmatum and Coptis chinensis root as well as grapefruit seed extract were applied to dipping treatment for keeping qualities of zucchinis, respectively, which were then packed in low density polyethylene films incorporated with 1% antimicrobial extracts and stored at 10. Dipping and packaging in the antimicrobial agents suppressed the growth of putrefactive microorganisms and the decay ratio of zucchinis. In addition, the loss ratio of ascorbic acid content of zucchinis and their weight were decreased during the storage of zucchinis. Consequently, the combined method of dipping and packaging in antimicmbial agents tumid out to be superior to dipping treatment or film-packaging in the view point of decay ratio and the quality control of zucchinis.
