본 연구는 PME 처리가 미생물의 생리변화에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 PME의 항균작용을 규명하기 위해서 소수성 분획과 친수성 분획으로 분리하고, 공시균주를 사용하여 미생물의 성장 및 에너지대사 관련효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 매실추출물 분획별 항균활성은 변패미 생물인 C. fragariae를 대상으로 paper disk법으로 관찰하였다. 총 추출물(PME)의 소수성 분획은 C. fragariae의 성장을 저해하기는 하나 그 효과가 총
Moderate consumption of maesil(Prunus mune) was associated with pharmaceutical and physiological effects on human health. The object of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of Prunus mune extracts(PME) on food spoilage microorganisms. PME was found to have an antibacterial effect on Colletotrichum fragariae. The hydrophilic fractions of PME showed more effective inhibition than did the hydrophobic fractions. In addition, the hydrophilic fractions of PME seemed to inhibit(12-40%) metabolic enzymes related to energy production, including glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and hexokinase. Our data suggest that hydrophilic components of PME might control food spoilage microorganisms because of suppression of membrane enzymatic function.
