Antimicrobial activity of both fresh Prunus mume and Prunus mume liqueur byproduct (PLB), generated after producing Prunus mume liqueur were examined against various pathogeinc bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Bacillus cereus KCCM 11341, Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 12255, Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 21541, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028, and Shigella sonnei. PLB showed strong antibacterial effects against tested pathogenic bacteria.L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115, B. cereus KCCM 11341, S. sonnei, and E. coli O157:H7 were not detected in trytpic soy broth containing 1% of prunus mume or PLB after 24-hour incubation at $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. Prunus mume showed higher antimicrobial activities than that of PLB against tested pathogens.

This study was conducted to test the efficacy of plum (Prunus mume) and red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A Meyer) marc as stress inhibitors under heat stress and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in broilers by investigating their effects on blood biochemical parameters, immunoglobulin concentration and splenic cytokine mRNA expressions. A total of one hundred ninety-two 1-d-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into 2 stress conditions (heat and LPS) experiments. Each experiment was divided into 4 treatment groups with 8 replicates of 3 birds in each group. NC (negative control, no immune substances), PC (positive control, 25 ppm ${\beta}$-glucan), PM (1% plum marc) and RGM (3% red ginseng marc) treatments were administered with respective substance through water supplementation. During heat stress, The Ca/Mg ratio in PM and RGM was significantly decreased in comparison with that of NC (P<0.05). The immunoglobulin M was significantly lower in PM than in NC (P<0.05). Expression patterns of splenic cytokine mRNAs (IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6) were similar over the treatment. Expression rates of IL-1 and IL-2 in PM were significantly decreased in comparison with NC. Also, expression rates of IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6 were significantly lower in RGM than in NC (P<0.05). In conclusion, the dietary supplementation of plum and red ginseng marc improved coping ability to heat stress by preventing Ca/Mg ratio increment and by inhibiting inflammatory response in broiler chicks. However, it is necessary to determine optimal dietary level of red ginseng marc for improving growth performances in broiler chickens. These results suggest the possibility that plum and red ginseng marc could be used as the stress inhibitor under heat stress and inflammatory response in broiler chicks.

The antimicrobial properties of methanolic extract (PML) from Prunus nune byproducts after liquor manufacturing weremeasured using various putrefactive and food spoilage microorganisms. PML showed remarkable antimicrobial effects against various putrefactive and food spoliage microorganisms when used at 500g/mL. The antimicrobial properties were stable for 30 min at 100C and at pH 3 11. PML seems to be a natural antimicrobial agent with high effectiveness, and shows both thernal and pH stability. In addition, the mode of antimicrobial action suggests that the active components may synergistically perturb microbial membrane functions.

Different amounts of powder and concentrate (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%) of Prunus mume were added to bread and the quality characteristics were evaluated. Mixed flour with powder (PP) and concentrate (CP) of Prunus mume showed a lower gelatinization temperature and higher maximum viscosity than control. As the proportion of PP and CP in making bread were increased, lower specific loaf volume, and higher hardness were revealed. Sample with 0.5% CP and control showed the highest specific loaf volume, and was 5.4. Treatment with 2.0% PP was $1,060,617\;dyne/cm^2$ in hardness, and was about 5 times higher than control. The L (lightness) value of samples with PP and CP was lower than control. Sample with 0.5% CP showed the highest score in color and taste, and samples with 0.5% PP, 0.5% CP and control was not significantly different in sensory evaluation. Based on loaf volume, hardness, color value and the sensory evaluation, treatment above 1.0% PP and CP is undesirable in making bread.

고추장 반제품은 산업화를 위한 공장산 고추장의 품질에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 숙성 중의 특성변화는 사용하는 재료, 배합비율, 제조방법, 숙성조건 등에 따라 그 품질에 영향을 미치게 된다. 고품질의 공장산 고추장을 생산하기 위하여 소비자의 기호성이 높으며, 다양한 생리적 기능성을 가지고 있는 국내산 매실엑기스를 0%(M0), 10%(M10), 20%(M20), 30%(M30)의 농도로 선첨하여 공장산 고추장 반제품을 제조한 후 숙성 중 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 초기수분함량은 52.2∼54.7%로 매실엑기스 함량이 많을수록 높으나 숙성이 진행됨에 따라 다소 감소하였다. 색도는 L(lightness)값이 39.4∼62.9로 매실엑기스 함량이 많을수록 낮은 수치를 나타내었으며 M0, M10, M20으로 갈수록 증가하나 M30은 완만히 감소하였고 a(redness)값은 -2∼4.9로 매실엑기스 함량이 많을수록 높은 수치를 보이며 증가하였으며, b(yellowness)값은 12.0∼l9.6으로 다소 증가하였으며 M10이 약간 높은 수치를 나타내고 M0의 증가폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 점도는 매실엑기스 함량이 많을수록 낮은 수치를 나타내었으며, 초기에 감소하다가 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 수분활성도는 매실엑기스 함량이 많을수록 높은 수치를 보였으며 숙성이 진행됨에 따라 감소하였다. 회분은 8.8∼l6%로서 M0, M10의 값이 감소하다가 증가하였으며 M0의 수치가 높고, M20은 초기 약간 증가하다가 감소하였으나 그 변화는 미미하고 M30은 증가하다가 완만히 감소하였다.

This studies were carried out to investigate the effect of Prunus mume Sie. extract on growth of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi and preservation of kimchi. Prunus mums Sie. extract inhibited the growth of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi. In early storage stage, the pH of Prunus mume Sie. extract added kimchi(PEAK) was lower than that of control. The pH of PEAK was higher than that of control after 25 days of fermentation. Titratable acidity, viable cell of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of the PEAK were lower than that of control during fermentation. The sensory quality of 1% PEAK was similar to control at 10 days of fermentation But overall acceptability of 3% PEAK decreased compare with l% PEAK.

Prunus mume has been used for the folk medicine by many old civilizations to treat food-borne diseases or enteric disorders. This study was carried out to examine the antimicrobial effect of juice from Prunus mume against pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus. The juice of Prunus mume had the strongest antimicrobial activity to Sal. enteritidis. The concentrations of Prunus mume juice for the formation of clear zone were 1% for Sai. enteritidis(15.0mm), 3% for Lis. monocytogenes(14.7mm), and 5% for Bac. cereus(14.75mm), Esc. coli(13.45mm) and Sta. aureux(11.9mm). The growth of all tested microorganisms was inhibited apparently in tryptic soy broth containing 3% and 4% Prunus mume juice. And it was found that the Prunus mume juice showed the highest antimicrobial properties, followed by Sal. enteritidis, Bac. cereus, Sta. aureus, Lis. monocytogenes, Esc. coli.

Characteristics of curd yogurt containing maesil extract and flesh, and mixed cultures of lactic acid bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and L. casei) were investigated redundant. The results of sensory evaluation of curd yogurts containing maseil indicated that color, odor, taste, flesh amount, aftertaste, and overall acceptability of the 3% maesil extract crud yogurt added with 20% maesil flesh showed higher preference than others. The contents of free fatty acid and citric acid of curd yogurts added with 3% maesil extract were higher than the specify sample. The Hunter L (brightness) value of curd yogurt added with 3% maesil extract was not significantly different from the control curd yogurt, while the Hunter a (redness) and Hunter b (yellowness) values were higher. The hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess of 3% maesil extract curd yogurts added with 20% maesil flesh were higher than others.

고품질 기능성 고추장을 개발하는데 고추장의 품질은 사용하는 재료, 배합비율, 제조방법, 숙성조건등에 따라 맛과 향기, 색 등에서 차이가 나타난다. 시장경쟁력에 맞추어 공장산 고추장에 기능성을 강화시키고 소비자의 기호성을 충족하기 위해 유기산과 비타민, 무기질이 풍부하고 다양한 생리적 기능성을 가진 국내산 매실엑기스를 공장산 고추장의 품질에 영향을 미치는 반제품에 농도별로 (0％(M0), 10%(M10), 20%(M20), 30%(M30)) 첨가하여 숙성 시 일어나는 화학적 성분변화를 조사하였다. 환원당은 9.6∼10.3%에서 11.9∼12.8%로 증가하였으며 매실엑기스의 첨가 농도가 낮을수록 높은 값을 나타내었다. 아미노산성질소는 숙성이 진행됨에 따라 증가하였으며 매실엑기스가 첨가된 시료의 경우 그 변화폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. M0(대조구)의 pH는 5.45에서 발효 중 미생물에 의한 유기산생성으로 다소 감소하였으나 M10, M20, M30은 매실에 들어있는 유기산과 키토산으로 초기 pH가 2.87∼3.38로 낮아 변화 폭은 적은 것으로 나타났다. 적정산도는 숙성기간 중 증가하였으며, 대조구에 비해 메실엑기스의 첨가농도가 증가할수록 높은 값을 보였다. 염분(NaCl)은 같은 기간 중 감소하였으며 매실엑기스의 농도가 증가할수록 낮은 수치를 보였다.
