The antibiotic and antioxidant effect of botanical antimicrobial agent-citrus product(BAAC) prepared from citrus fruits were investigated by using fishmeats made from pollack and ascidian fillet. We inoculated Salmonella typhi into fishmeats that were aferwards treated with BAAC varying the concentration level (50-500ppm) including the control not-treated with BAAC. While specimens were stored at 5 for designated period, we measured changes of total number of bacteria, peroxide level and textural properties. In addition, we performed organoleptic examination, focusing on appearance, texture and odor for fishmeats treated with BAAC and stored for designated period. For pollack and ascidian fishmeats, the initial total number of bacteria were 3.7l0CFU/g and 7.5l0CFU/g, respectively. After they were treated with 250 ppm of BAAC solution and stored for 5 days at 5, the figures reduced to 2.5l0CFU/g and 8.410CFU/g. No bacteria were found in fishmeats treated with above 500 ppm of BAAC, which remarkably proved antibiotic effect of BAAC solution. Furthermore, all the BAAC-treated specimens exhibited notable antioxidant effect. Fishmeats which were previously treated with 500 ppm of BAAC solution and stored for 30 days at 5, showed the lower peroxide level of 16.5 meq/kg than 68.9 meq/kg in the control of pollack and 21.2 meq/kg than 80.7 meq/kg in the control of ascidian. In the results of texture and organoleptic evaluation we could also observe good effects of BAAC on maintaining the freshness of fisher products.

The antimicrobial extracts of rheum palmatum and coptis chinensis root as well as grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) were applied to dipping treatment for keeping qualities of cucumbers, respectively, which were then packed in low density polyethylene(LDPE) films incorporated with 1 % antimicrobial extracts and stored . Dipping and packaging in the antimicrobial agents suppressed the growth of putrefactive microorgani는 and the decay ratio of cucumbers. In addition, the loss ratio of ascortic acid content and their weight was decreased during the sotrage of cucumbers. Consequently, the combined method of dippinf and packaging in antimicrobial agents turned out to be superior to dipping treatment or film-packaging in the view point of decay ratio and the keeping qualities of cucumbers.

Effective synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) have been widely used in the food industry, but they are suspected to be toxic and carcinogenic effects. Therefore, the development of safely available natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, -tocopherol, -carotene, flavonoids and selenium is essential. In particular, flavonoids, 2-phenyl-benzo--pyrones, are polyphenolic compounds that occur ubiquitously in food of plant origin. flavonoids occur in foods generally as O-glycosides with sugars bound usually at the C\ulcorner position. And variations in their heterocyclic ring gibes rise to flavones, flavonols, flavanones, flavanols, catechins, anthocyanidins, chalcone and isoflavones. Vegetables, fruits, and beverages are the main dietary sources of the flavonols, primarily as quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin and the corresponding flavones, apigenin and luteolin. These flavonoids have biological activity such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antimutagenic, anticarcimogenic antiallergic and antimicrobial activity effects in vitro and in vivo. Flavonoids posses strong antioxidant activities acting as oxygen radicals scavenger, metal chelators and enzyme inhibitor. The antioxidant activity of flavonoids is determined by their molecular structure and more specially, by the position and degree of hydroxylation of the ring structure. All flavonoids with the 3`, 4`-dihydroxy(ortho-dihydroxy) posses marked antioxidant activity. And antioxidant activity increases with the number of hydroxyl groups substituted on the A-and B-rings. There is as yet no certainty about the effect of the presence of a double bond between C\ulcorner and C\ulcorner on the antioxidant activity of flavonoids.
