Abstract

The use of synthetic additives for preservation and enhancement of the market quality of food products has been emerging as a societal issue in terms of safety as well as changes in consumption patterns. Various research related to natural additives is being conducted to address these issues. This study examined the antibacterial effects of 79 types of medicinal herbs used as oriental remedies on bacteria isolated from beverages of damaged marketable quality. The antibacterial effects of methanol extracts on 13 Bacillus sp. and three Paenibacillus sp. were evaluated. We found that 43 of the herbal medicines analyzed had antibacterial effects on the isolated bacteria. Of those, eight were selected, and their antibacterial effects were further examined using water, ethanol, methanol, and ethyl acetate as solvents. The results revealed that Prunus mume, Rhus javanica, and Coptis japonica had excellent antibacterial effects against the isolated bacteria. In particular, they exerted greater antibacterial effects when water and ethanol were used as solvents. This result indicates the possibility of developing natural additives using these substances. Since P. mume in particular, has not been sufficiently studied compared to other herbal medicines, it presents an opportunity for additional investigation and the possibility for development as a new product in the future.

식품의 상품성과 보존을 위하여 사용하는 합성 첨가물이 소비자들의 소비 습관의 변화와 첨가물의 안전성에 대한 사회적 쟁점화로 천연의 소재를 활용한 다양한 연구와 조사가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서도 천연물 중 한의학의 소재로 사용되는 생약제제 79종을 사용하여 식품 중 상품성이 훼손된 음료에서 분리한 세균에 대한 항균성을 조사하였다. 13종의 Bacillus sp.와 3종의 Paenibacillus sp.에 대한 메탄올 추출물의 항균성을 조사한 결과 43종의 생약제제가 분리한 세균에 대한 항균성을 나타내었다. 이 중 8종의 한약재를 선별하고 이들을 대상으로 물, 에탄올, 메탄올과 에틸아세테이트를 추출 용매로 하여 항균성을 조사한 결과 오매, 오배자와 황련이 분리된 세균에 대한 항균성이 우수한 것으로 조사되었으며 특히 물과 에탄올을 사용한 경우에 우수한 항균성을 나타내어 이 결과를 바탕으로 이들 소재를 활용한 천연보존료의 개발 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 다른 생약제제와 비교할 때 오매에 대한 연구가 상대적으로 미진한 것으로 판단되어 향후 지속적인 연구를 통한 제품의 개발도 가능할 것으로 판단하였다.
