시판되는 효소형 TTI를 이용하여 다양한 온도에서 보관 중인 간 쇠고기의 부패 확인이 가능한지 조사하였다. 쇠고기의 부패 확인 지표로는 volatile basic nitrogen(VBN)을 이용하였다. 실험 온도 4, 10, 15, 20 및 25oC에서 쇠고기가 부패하는데 소요된 시간은 각각 168, 114, 60, 48 및 24시간이었다. 상기 조건에서 쇠고기의 품질변화는 본 실험에 사용한 3 종류의 C-type TTI(C-1, C-4, 및 C-7)의 반응 종말점들과 일치하지 않았다. TTI의 반응을 쇠고기의 품질변화에 일치시키기 위해 C-1 TTI로부터 효소와 기질 성분을 추출하여 Eppendorf tube에서 서로 다른 양으로 혼합하여 변형된 TTI를 구성하였다. 변형된 CM-1 TTI의 반응은 20oC와 25oC에서 쇠고기의 품질변화와 매우 유사하였으나 다른 온도에서는 일치하지 않았다. 변형된 CM-2 TTI의 반응은 15oC에서만 쇠고기의 품질변화와 일치하였다. 따라서 TTI를 특정한 식품의 품질변화 지시계로 사용하기 위해서는 식품의 부패와 TTI 반응에 대한 체계적인 kinetics 연구들이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Copper alloy metal fiber was incorporated into the conventional water-soluble metal working fluids to increase the antimicrobial activity. Fluid treated by copper alloy metal fiber is shown that bacteria is disappeared whereas that untreated metal fiber is increased bacteria as increasing the life time. When the electrochemical potential of Cu/Zn ion is -268mV, radicals with molecular oxygen are easily made. Especially, hydroperoxide radical shows strong toxicity to the strains, leading to the conformational change of plasma membrane. As a result antimicrobial activity of copper alloy metal fiber in metal working fluid is superior to that of copper fiber.

In this study, the emission characteristics of reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) were investigated under decaying conditions using 3 food types with strong odor properties: (1) Kimchi (KC), (2) Fresh fish (FF), and (3) Salted fish (SF). The concentrations of RSC from food decaying samples were measured 5 times during the full study period over 15 days. All the analysis of RSC were made by gas chromatography/pulsed flame photometric detector (GC/PFPD) combined with air server/thermal desorber (AS/TD). According to our analysis, CH₃SH recorded the highest mean concentration (53.8 ppb) out of all RSCs investigated concurrently. Comparison between 3 food types showed that KC had the highest odor strength in primary stage, although it showed a notable decrease through time. On the other hand, FF and SF maintained generally low RSC concentrations in the beginning stage, but they showed large increases in emission concentrations with time. Thus, the results indicate that the relative pattern of RSC emissions tends to vary greatly with food types rather than RSC type.

In this study, odorous emissions from decaying foods were investigated with respect to trimethylamine and ammonia. To this end, three food types (egg, mackerel, and cuttlefish) were used for decaying experiments in which food samples were preserved in throwaway syringes (weight for each sample of 5 g). All decaying experiments advanced for one month under the normal temperature and ventilation. The average concentrations of TMA from egg, mackerel, and cuttlefish samples were measured as 0.6, 5.8 and 130 ppm, respectively, while those of NH₃ as 554, 385, and 531 ppm, respectively. According to our experiments, the concentrations of TMA and NH₃ increased with the progress of corruption. The release of malodor compounds tend to vary sensitively with the changes in temperature and humidity. In case of TMA, a strong correlation with temperature was observed on the order: mackerel ＞ egg ＞ cuttlefish. However, in the case of NH₃, strong correlations were seen to exist with humidity. Changes of TMA concentration were accompanied by changes of pH, especially from mackerel and cuttlefish. NH₃ also showed a similar trend of pH change from samples. When the results of TMA measurements were evaluated in terms of odor intensity, egg, mackerel, and cuttlefish are recorded as 4.36, 5.25 and 6.46, respectively. Likewise, odor intensity of NH₃ measurements was found as 6.96, 6.7 and 6.93, respectively. The results of our odor study suggest that a unique pattern of odor release is developed from decaying food samples.

숙주나물과 콩나물은 blanching 후 변질 속도가 크게 차이가 나는 바 이들이 Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Listeria monocytogenes 등 4종의 부패성 및 식중독 미생물의 중식에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 숙주나물과 콩나물 조리과정 중 blanching 조건이 달라 각각의 조건에서 두 시료 모두 blanching하여 생균수를 측정한 결과 blanching 한 후 미생물수는 저장시간에 따라 증가하나 그 차이가 없었다. 최소배지에 숙주나물과 콩나물 농축물 및 부패성 미생물을 접종한 후 생균수를 측정한 결과 숙주나물에 접종한 모든 균들의 초기 균수가 높았으나 24시간 이후 비슷한 증식양상을 나타내었다. 그러나 숙주나물과 콩나물의 여액을 배지로 사용하여 실험한 결과 미생물의 증식 양상은 균주마다 다른 것으로 나타났다. 저장기간 동안 색도를 측정한 결과 숙주나물의 경우 24시간에는 색차가 거의 없다가 48시간 이후 현저한 차이를 보였고, 콩나물의 경우 24시간에 다른 계통의 색으로 변하다가 48시간 이후 현저하게 많은 차이를 보여 다른 양상을 나타내었다.

재배중인 콩나물의 용기 내 품온의 저하 및 부패 경감을 통하여 콩나물 생산성을 증대코다 콩나물 재배 용기(30×28×25cm) 내부에 다공성 PVC 환기봉(지름 32mm×높이25cm ; 128개의 지름 2mm 환기구)을 1, 3, 5개씩 수직방향으로 설치하고 6일간 콩나물을 재배하며 품온의 변화 및 수량, 상품성 개체비율, 부패율 등을 조사한 결과 환기봉 설치에 의하여 용기 내부의 온도가 저하됨을 알 수 있었는데, 특히 바닥에서 5cm 높이의 하층 및 10cm 높이의 증측 부위가 15cm 상층 부위(3.0℃)에서 보다 효율적으로 온도가 저하되어 각각 4.7℃ 및 3.9℃의 온도 저하효과가 나타났으며, 용기 내부 상/중/하층의 온도 편차가 감소되어 균일한 콩나물 생산이 가능할 것으로 사료되며 수확된 콩나물의 성상 및 수량 조사결과 수율과 상품성 개체 비율이 무처리에 비해 각각 3.9%, 4.0% 증대되고 부패율은 4% 감소되는 등 콩나물 재배시 환기봉을 사용함으로써 농약을 사용치 않으면서 콩나물의 재배 용기 내 품온 저하를 통한 부패 경감과 콩나물생산성 향상이 가능할 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to know the active fraction of Dryopteris rhizoma on antimicrobial activity against some food spoilage microorganisms. Also, antimicrobal activities were investigated for the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of four herbs such as Terminaliae fructus, Eugeniae flos, Salviae miltiorrhizae radix and Dryopteris rhizoma. Antimicrobial activities of three herbs except for Terminaliae fructus showed higher activities in 75% ethanolic extracts than in aquoeus extract. Ethanolic extract of Dryopteris rhizoma showed the highest antimicrobial activity among extracts of four herbs. Antimicrobial activity intensities of solvent fractions of Dryopteris rhizoma extracted by 75% ethanol were order to CHCl₃ fraction$gt;EtOAc fraction $gt;BuOH fraction$gt;H₂O fraction. The CHCl_(3+) EtOAc and BuOH fractions also inhibited growth of food spoilage microorganisms as the concentration increased, respectively. In case of EtOAc fraction, 1000 ppm of fraction almost inhibited completely the growth of microorganisms tested.

This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activity of grapefruit extracts and polylysine mixture against food-borne pathogens. The mixture was showed a potent and quick antibacterial activity for 5 major bacteria causing food poisoning i.e. Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O-157, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae. The antibacterial effect of the mixture on the ordinary bacteria inhibiting on the surface of lettuce was lasted even 6 hrs after the treatment, however the mixture was non-effective on the color, smell and taste of lettuce. The treatment with 10% mixture solution of the foods such as fish, meat, rice and bread suppressed the growth of the bacteria and kept the foods more freshly than the untreated foods.

This study was undertaken with packed tofu products to serve as a basic source for sanitary control of tofu production by detecting spoilage bacteria in tofu from which are isolated, investigating heat-resistance and growth characteristics of spoilage bacteria. Isolated strains were confirmed as relevant strains in tofu spoilage, and Strain No. Tl, T2 show 92% probability to be Enterobacter amnigenus, and 96% to be Flavobacterium indologenes according to the result of identifying strains by using Vitek system. Both strains had high viability at 35℃, pH 6.5. In the heat-resistance test of isolated strains, Enterobacter amnigenus T1 was treated for 2 mins, the number remained 56.3% of the initial number at 60℃, 37.8% at 70℃, 34.0% at 80℃ and 22.2% at 90℃, and Flavobacterium indologenes T2 was treated for 2 mins, the number remained 74.8% of the initial number at 60℃, 65.7% at 70℃, 37.8% at 80℃ and 9.3% at 90℃.

사과 부패병균(Macrophoma sp.)에 감염된 과일에서 총페놀, flavonol, anthocyanin 함량의 병화를 사과의 여러 발육시기에서 조사하였다. 사과가 성숙됨에 따라 과육, 과피의 총페놀함량은 급격히 감소하였다. 부패병균에 감염된 과육에서 건전한 과육보다 다소 총페놀함량이 낮았으며 품종밀러보다 더 감수성인 후지의 감염된 과육에서 이의 감소가 뚜렷하였다. 건전한 과피에서 보다 감염된 과피에서 높은 페놀함량을 보였으며 밀러에서 이의 증가가 현저하였다. 부패된 사과에서 flavonol 함량이 건전 사과보다 높았으며 7월 10일에 Macrophoma에 완전 저항성이었던 사과의 감염된 과피에 flavonol이 크게 축적되었다. anthocyanin 생성도 감염된 과피에 상당히 증가되었으며 품종 밀러에서 뚜렷했다. 이들 결과에서 미루어 사과의 페놀대사변동은 사과 부패병진전과 관계가 있을지 모른다.

감자 저장병으로서 중요한 Fusarium solani, F. roscum, F. oxysporum 및 Erwinia carotovora를 분리 동정하고 수확후에 공시품종 Epicure, Irish Cobbler, 및 Superior의 괴경을 절단하여 각 온도의 습실에 1, 3, 5, 및 7일간 예치한 후 suberin 및 periderm 형성을 검경하였다. 그리고 위와 같이 처리한 괴경에 4종의 병원균을 접종하여 9일간 정치한 후 부패도를 조사하였다. 예치온도가 높을수록 또 그 기간이 길어짐에 따라 보호막으로서의 suberin 및 periderm 형성이 증가하였으며 부패는 감소되었다. 공시균종간의 병원성, 품종에 대한 반응, 보호막 형성에도 차이가 있었으나 예치온도 및 기간의 효과가 부패방지에 더 중요하였다. 에서는 7일이내의 예치기간에 보호막은 거의 형성되지 않았으며 부패는 심하였고 에서는 대체로 이와 반대하였다. 그러므로 절상감자를 바로 에 냉장함은 피해여야 할 것으로 본다. 에서 3일 에서 5일이 지나면 부패되지 않았으며 suberin 및 periderm 형성은 중정도였다. 고온에서는 예치, 기간중에 기경이 부패되는 수도 있으므로 그 적온을 피하여 에 5일 이상 예치한 후에 저장하는 것이 실용적이라 생각된다.

Background : This experiment was conducted to improve the farm income by decreasing the rate of corrosion and increasing the emergence rate by selecting the proper storage method of the medicinal crop seed root. Methods and Result : Ten kinds of medicinal crop seed roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Codonopsis lanceolata, Platycodon grandiflorum, Atractylodes japonica, Angelica acutiloba, Adenophora triphylla, Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica gigas and Cnidium officinale were used as test materials. In experiment 1, storage experiments were carried out using four treatments: untreated (dry in advance), untreated, filler (dry in advance) and filler. Drying in advance was carried for 2 days in dark place and the filler was vermiculite. For storage, in styrofoam box, seed roots were laid down in 3 replicates of 10 sets, stored in – 1℃ warehouse. The storage temperature was set as long as each seed root was not frozen investigating freezing point, supercooling point. As a result, the rate of corrosion was significantly lower in the 4th treatments (filler), such as A. japonica (30%) and A. gigas (10%), compared with untreated one. Therefore, in experiment 2, six treatments were carried out using filler. There were 6 treatments: filler disinfectant (dry in advance), filler disinfectant, filler biochar (dry in advance), filler biochar, filler disinfectant biochar (dry in advance) and filler disinfectant biochar. The disinfectant was used by metalaxyl-M at a concentration of 0.4 g/ℓ, and a biochar was used at a volume ratio of 50% (v/v). As a result, the rate of corrosion was significantly lower in the 6th treatment (filler disinfectant biochar), such as S. miltiorrhiza (13.3%) and C. lanceolata (6.7%). Conclusion : In storing medicinal crop root, it is better to store using fillers. It was shown that a mixture of filler and disinfectant biochar reduced the rate of corrosion.

This study was aimed at evaluating the antifungal potentials of twelve plant extracts (Terminariae Fructus, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex, Taraxacum Platycarpum, Rubi Fructus, Caesalpiniae Lignum, Myristicae Semen, Caryophylli Flos, Sanguisorbae Radix, Alpiniae Katsumadaii Semen, Scutellariae Radix, Astragalus membranaceus) in preventing storage rot symptoms in ginger (Zingiber officinale). Samples were collected from ginger that had been stored for 120 days at 10-12 . A total of ten fungi were isolated from stored non-spoiled and spoiled ginger and identified using internal transcribed spacer gene sequencing as Hypocrea virescentiflava, Fusarium oxysporum, Acremonium strictum, Fusarium solani, and Cadophora fastigiata. The causal fungus of storage rot was identified as F. oxysporum by pathogenicity test. Twelve candidate plant extracts were screened for antifungal activity against F. oxysporum isolated from spoiled ginger by using the disk diffusion method. In minimal inhibitory concentration (MICs) test, all ethanolic extracts of Cinnamomi Cortex, Taraxacum platycarpum, and Caryophylli Flos exhibited higher antifungal activity against F. oxysporum than other plant extracts. The MIC value of Cinnamomi Cortex and Caryophylli Flos were determined to be 10 ìg/disc. The MIC of T. platycarpum, 2.5 ìg/disc, was the lowest. Based on the results, it was concluded that Cinnamomi Cortex, T. platycarpum, and Caryophylli Flos have potential to serve as effective treatments to prevent storage rot of ginger.
