The purpose of this study was to estimate the antimicrobial activity of Maesil (Japanese apricot, Prunus mume) extract against Vibrio vulnificus. The strains tested in the study were 28 V. vulnificus isolates originated from fish, seawater, mud flat and seawater in fish restaurant. The vvhA gene was detected using real-time PCR and biochemical identification expressed above good identification in 28 isolates of V. vulnificus. All of V. vulnificus used in this study was susceptible to tetracycline and chloramphenicol antibiotics. These two antibiotics were considered to be useful for the treatment of patients. Maesil extracts 2.5% and 5% showed antimicrobial activity against V. cholerae NCCP 13589 and V. parahemolyticus NCCP 11143. V. vulnificus isolate and V. vulnificus NCCP 11135 showed growth inhibition at 1.25%, 2.5% and 5% of Maesil extract, respectively. Compared with V. cholerae and V. parahemolyticus, the antibacterial activity of Maesil extract against V. vulnificus was high. The minimum bactericidal concentration of Maesil extract for V. vulnificus was 1.6%. These results revealed that Maesil extract was found to be very useful for inhibiting the growth of V. vulnificus and can be expected to prevent food poisoning caused by V. vulnificus.

Powder, or a concentrate, of maesil (Prunus mume) were used in the making of kochujang, and were added to kochujang at 0.5 or 1.0% (w/w). Kochujang fermented with maesil powder lower moisture content than did samples fermented with maesil concentrate. Moisture content slowly increased during fermentation, and was $3{\sim}4%$ higher than the initial value after 8 weeks of fermentation. Kochujang fermented with maesil powder or maesil concentrate showed lower pH values and higher total acidities than did the control. The total microbial count was $3.6{\times}10^7\;5.4{\times}10^7\;cfu/g$, and yeast and mold levels were $2.0{\times}10^7{\sim}3.6{\times}10^7\;cfu/g$, as kochujang fermentation commenced. Microbial load reached a maximum by 4 weeks of fermentation, and decreased thereafter. L (lightness), a (redness) and b (yellowness) values of kochujang gradually decreased during fermentation. Compared to methanol extracts of kochujang, water extracts and ethanol extracts showed higher free radical scavenging abilities at the initial stage of fermentation. Control, and samples with 0.5% (w/w) maesil powder or maesil concentrate, attained higher scores in sensory evaluation tests than did samples with higher maesil levels, and were not significantly different at P>0.05 as determined by Duncan's multiple range test.

인공재배 매실나무겨우살이의 의약 화장품의 소재 및 산업화 가능성을 검토하기 위해 80% 에탄올 및 증류수 초음파추출물의 Tyrosinase 저해활성을 측정하였다. 인공재배한 매실나무겨우살이(PM, 동결건조) 및 자연산 굴참나무겨우살이(QM, 열풍건조, $30^{\circ}C$, 7day)의 80% 에탄올, 증류수 초음파추출물에 대한 tyrosinase 저해활성을 측정한 결과, 물 추출물의 경우 100 ppm의 농도에서 PM과 QM 모두 5분이 경과 하였을 때 PM은 88.37%, QM은 87.69%로 최대치를 나타내었고, 농도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 tyrosinase 저해활성이 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. PM 80% 에탄올 추출물은 5분이 경과하였을 때 2,500ppm이 92.08%로 최대값을 보여주었고 이후 시간이 지남에 따라 저해활성이 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. 반면 5,000ppm은 5분이 경과하였을 때 66.38%로 최소값을 나타낸 반면, 20분까지 저해활성이 증가하였고 10분이 경과한 이후로 거의 일정하게 유지되어 지속적으로 감소되는 1,000ppm보다 높은 저해효과를 보여 주었다. QM 80% 에탄올 추출물은 5분이 경과하였을 때 1,000ppm이 88.14%로 가장 높았고 5,000ppm은 63.49%로 가장 낮은 저해활성을 보여주었다. 15분까지 1,000ppm이 가장 높은 저해활성을 보여주었으나 꾸준히 감소한 반면, 2,500ppm의 경우 시간이 경과함에 따라 비교적 일정한 저해활성을 보여주어 15분이 경과한 이후로 2,500ppm의 저해활성이 가장 높게 나타났다. 25분이 경과하였을 때 2,500ppm은 70.27%로 가장 높은 저해활성을 나타내었고, 5,000ppm은 30.09%로 가장 낮은 저해활성을 보여주었다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면, 물 추출물의 경우 겨우살이의 농도가 낮을수록 더 높은 tyrosinase 저해활성을 나타내었고, 80% 에탄올 추출물의 경우 2,500ppm에서 가장 높은 저해활성을 나타내어 의약 화장품의 소재 및 산업화 가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present investigation was carried out particularly to optimize the extraction process of Poncirus trifoliata and Prunus mume to develop a functional foodstuff having antibacterial activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The extracts were prepared from the fruits under various conditions, and then optimum extraction conditions were decided in case maximal antibacterial activity was obtained. In extraction process by using hot water, the best antibacterial activity of Poncirus trifoliata was achieved at $80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, while that of Prunus mume was achieved at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, as showing 14.8 and 16.6 mm of inhibition diameter, respectively. The extraction process with addition of NaOH increased the activity of Prunus mume, but addition of $K_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$ drastically decreased the activity. In the processes at high temperature up to $120^{\circ}C$ by using pressure extractor and with various concentrations of NaOH, the maximum activity was observed in the extract of Prunus mume at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min with 0.05 N NaOH. The fermented ethanol extract of the fruits showed less activity than those of the extracts with water and NaOH solution.

To investigate the antioxidative effects of Prunus mume ethanol extract on the ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in rat liver, Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 120∼160 g were divided into 5 groups; normal group(NOR), Prunus mume ethanol extract 200mg/kg treated group(PME), ethanol(10 mL/kg, 35％) treated group(ETH), Prunus mume ethanol extract 200 mg/kg and ethanol treated group (PML) and Prunus mume ethanol extract 400 mg/kg, and ethanol treated group(PMF), respectively. The antioxidative activity in vitro was reduced in order of EtOAC＞n-hexane＞water＞ chloroform fraction. The growth rate and feed efficiency ratio decreased by ethanol administration were gradually increased to the adjacent level of NOR by administering Prunus mume ethanol extract. It was observed that activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase(SOD), xanthine oxidase and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) of liver and alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and asparate aminotransferase(AST) of serum were elevated by ethanol administration. Besides, Prunus mume ethanol extract markedly decreased elevated activites of catalase, GSH-Px, ALT and AST, except in activites of SOD and xanthine oxidase compared to ETH. Also, the depleted content of GSH by ethanol was increased similar to NOR level by administering Prunus mume ethanol extract. These results suggested that Prunus mume ethanol extract has a possible protective effect on the ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in rat liver.

Different amounts of powder and concentrate (0.5% and 1.0%) of Prnus mume were added to doenjang and were examined during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. Moisture and amino nitrogen content were gradually increased, regardless of the amount of powder and concentrate of Prnus mume (PCP). A rapid increase in moisture and amino nitrogen was shown at initial 2 week of fermentation. Control showed a higher amino nitrogen content and microbial load (yeast and mold) than samples with PCP. Reducing sugar content was rapidly decreased after 2 weeks, but was plateaued after 4 weeks. Color (L, a and b) of doenjang had the highest value at 4 weeks, but was decreased thereafter. Weter extracts from samples with PCP were lower in radical scavenging activity than that of control, but methanol extracts and ethanol extracts were generally higher than that of control. Based on On sensory evaluation of doenjang after 6 weeks, control 1 was better than other treatments in color, aroma and taste. Significant difference was not observed among control 1, control 2 and samples with 0.5% PCP.

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.

Prunus mume extract showed antimicrobial efface remarkably against the wide spectrum of putrefactive and food spoilage microorganisms above 250 ppm of concentration. Their thermal and pH stabilities were effective under the range of temperature $(40^{\circ}C{\sim}120^{\circ}C)$ and $pH(3{\sim}11)$. Prunus mume extract seemed to be a natural antimicrobial ideally with the view of their effectiveness and thermal & pH stabilities. In addition, their action modes suggested that their hydrophillic components would perturb the fucntions of microbial cell membranes synergistically.
