자몽종자추출물(GSE)이 다른 농도(0, 0.6, 1.0%)로 첨가된 젤라틴 필름을 제조하여 필름의 물성과 딸기의 포장 효과를 각각 조사하였다. GSE의 농도가 증가함에 따라 젤라틴 필름의 신장률은 증가하였으나 인장강도는 대조구의 46.39 MPa에서 1.0% GSE 함유 젤라틴 필름 경우에 31.96 MPa로 감소하였고, 필름의 투습도는 GSE의 농도에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. GSE 1.0%가 함유된 젤라틴 필름은 E. coli O157:H
Gelatin films containing grapefruit seed extract (GSE) were prepared by incorporating different amounts (0, 0.6, and 1.0%, w/v) of GSE into film-forming solutions. Film elongation was improved by the addition of GSE, but film tensile strength decreased to 31.96 MPa for film containing 1.0% GSE, compared with 46.39 MPa for the control. Incorporation of 1.0% GSE inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes. Packaging of strawberries with a gelatin film containing 1.0% GSE decreased the levels of total aerobic bacteria and yeast/molds after 12 days of storage by 1.60 and 1.43 log CFU/g, respectively, compared with control values. Sensory evaluation results indicated that packaging of strawberries with GSE-gelatin film resulted in better sensory scores than those of the control. These results indicate that strawberries can be packaged using gelatin film containing GSE, to extend shelf-life.
