본 실험에서는 식품의 미생물작용에 의한 변질의 저해 효과가 뛰어난 식물성 천연항균제품(Botanical Antimicrobial Agent-Citrus product)에 홍삼추출물을 첨가하여 조제한 식물성 천연 항균복합소재(Botanical Antimicrobial Agent-Citrus and Red Ginseng extract mixture BAACG)의 항균력 검사, 열 및 pH안정성, 미생물 세포막의 형태 및 기능성 변화를 검토하고 BAA

The mixture of botanical antimicrobial agent-citurs product and ginseng extract mixture(BAACG) was applied to garlic stalk or pork cooked in soysauce to extend their selflife. BAACG showed a remarkable antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of food-borne infection microorganisms and thermal and pH stability. In comparison with scanning electron microscopic photos of microbial cells not-treated and treated with BAACG the physiological cytomembrane function of BAACG-treated microorganisms was destroyed and the dead cell numbers was increased. The quality of garlic stalk or pork cooked in soysauce was controlled by the addition of BAACG in their raw materials. BAACG-treated garlic stalk or pork cookeries showed considerably to decrease the numbers of total cell count and expressed no odor and no sticky state appeared in the control. BAACG was expected to be a preservative agent which could be applied to raw or processed food stuffs in the view of food safety.
