Abstract

To extend shelf life of cooked rice, main putrefactive microorganism isolated from cooked rice were identified by using the API 50 CHB kit and fatty acid analysis of the cell and antimicrobial activity of water extract of green tea was tested against isolated strains and some type of strains. The growths of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028, Bacillus cereus YUFE 2004 and Staphylococcus aureus YUFE 2087 were inhibited in broth containing 500 and 1000 ppm of green tea extract. Main putrefactive microorganisms of cooked rice were identified as Bacillus subtilis RHJ-I and Bacillus subtilis RHJ-II. Green tea extract of 500 and 1000 ppm level inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis RHJ-I only.

쌀밥의 저장성을 향상시킬 목적으로 쌀밥 부패 미생물을 분리, 동정하고 이들과 표준 균주에 대한 녹차 물추출물의 항균활성을 측정하였다. 표준균주 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028, Bacillus cereus YUFE 2004 및 Staphylococcus aureus YUFE 2087 모두 녹차 물추출물이 500, 1000 ppm 첨가된 broth system에서 생육이 억제되었다. 쌀밥 부패에 관여하는 주요 미생물은 두 균주 모두에서 형태적, 생리적 특성과 API 50 CHB kit 그리고 균체 지방산 분석을 통해 Bacillus subtilis로 동정되었다. 분리, 동정된 균주 중 Bacillus subtilis RHJ-I의 생육은 녹차 물추출물이 500, 1000 ppm 첨가된 broth system에서 그 생육이 억제되었다.
