본 실험에서는 식품의 미생물작용에 의한 변질의 저해 효과가 뛰어난 식물성천연항균제품(botanical antimicrobial agent)에 천연보조제(인삼추출물, 알로에, 매실추출물)를 첨가하여 paper disk법에 의한 항균성 검사를 실시한 결과, 인삼추출물을 첨가한 천연복합항균제재(BAAG)에서 생육저해환이 가장 크고 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 한편, 천연 항균복합제재 용액에 콩나물용 콩을 농도별로 각각 침지 처리하여 냉장 및 상온에 저장하면서

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.
