겨자의 항균성 및 식품보존제로의 이용가능성을 조사하기 위하여 겨자의 첨가에 따른 냉면육수의 보존 중 그 효과를 조사하고, 대장균의 형태변화를 현미경으로 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 겨자를 첨가시킨 냉면육수의 적정산도는 처음에 겨자 무첨가 육수에 비하여 높았으나 24시간 보존 후에는 겨자 무첨가 육수보다 낮게 나타났으며, 겨자 첨가 냉면육수의 생균수 및 대장균수는 처음에 겨자 무첨가시보다 감소하였으며, 겨자 첨가농도가 높을수록 감소하는 폭이 크게 나타났고, VBN 함량은 보존기간이 지남에 따라 증가하였고, 겨자가 첨가된 냉면육수가 겨자 무첨가보다 낮게 나타났으며, 겨자첨가 농도가 높을수록 더욱 낮게 나타났다. 겨자 물추출물로 처리한 대장균을 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 균체표면이 수축되고 표층구조가 허물어져 심한 형태학적 변화를 나타내었다.
Effects of mustard seed (Brassica juncea) on the preservation of soup for Naengmyon were investigated, and morphological changes of E. coli treated with extract of mustard seed were examined. Titratable acidity of soup for Naengmyon treated with mustard seed was higher than that of control at initial stage, but became lower than control after 24 hours of preservation. The number of bacteria and E. coli in soup for Naengmyon added with mustard seed was lower than that of control, and the more mustard seed was added, the less bacteria and E. coli were observed. The content of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) increased during preservation of soup for Naengmyon. The VBN content of soup for Naengmyon added with mustard seed was higher than that of control, and the more mustard seed was added, the lower VBN was detected. Scanning eletron microscopys of E. coli treated with extract of mustard seed showed that cell surface was distorted with shrinked cell mass.
