표고버섯을 새로운 형태의 식품으로 개발하기 위한 기초 자료와 천연보존료로의 이용 가능성을 검토하고자 물과 에탄올로 항균성 물질을 추출하여 몇 종의 병원균, 식중독균, 식품과 관련이 있는 세균 및 효모등 10균주에 대하여 항균성 여부와 추출물의 최소저해 농도를 밝히고, 표고버섯추출물을 용매 계통 분획하여 항균활성을 살펴보았다. 항균성 검색에 사용된 물과 에탄을 추출물 모두에서 대부분의 세균은 항균활성이 나타났으나, 효모와 젖산균에서는 나타나지 않았
To develope natural food preservatives, ethanol and water extracts were prepared from the Lentinus edodes and antimicrobial activities were examined against 10 microorganisms which were food borne pathogens and / or food poisoning microorganisms and food-related bacteria and yeasts. Ethanol extract exhibited antimicrobial activities for the microorganisms tested, but not on lactic acid bacteria and yeast Especially, minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) for Escherichia coli were as low as 0.5 mg/mL. Antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was stable by the heating at 121 for 15 min and not affected by pH. The ethanol extract of Lentinus edodes exhibiting high antimicrobial activity. The highest antimicrobial activity adjust bacteria tested was found in the ethylacetate fraction.
