한약재 및 해조류 추출물에 대한 Photobacterium phosphoreum의 항균력을 측정한 결과, 오미자 열수 및 에탄올 추출물과 감태 및 비틀대 모자반 에탄올 추출물이 항균력을 나타내었으며 비틀대 모자반과 감태 에탄올 추출물이 각각 0.015625 mg/mL, 0.125 mg/mL의 최소저해농도를 나타내었다. P. phosphoreum 유래 HDC의 저해 효과를 측정한 결과, 감태와 대황 에탄올 추출물이 1 mg/mL에서 각각 32%, 25%의 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. P. phosphoreum에 대해 항균력과 HDC 저해 효과를 나타낸 천연물을 고등어육에 첨가한 후 균주를 접종하여 생균수 및 histamine 생성량을 측정한 결과, 저장일차가 증가함에 따라 처리구에서 균수가 크게 감소하였다. Histamine의 함량도 다소 감소하였지만 주로 항균활성에 의해 histamine이 저해된 것으로 나타났다.
This study was conducted in order to investigate the inhibitory effects of natural materials on histamine production in mackerel. Antimicrobial activities on Photobacterium phosphoreum of medicinal herbs and seaweeds were investigated using the paper disc assay and MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) test. According to the results, Sargassum sagamianum and Ecklonia cava ethanol extracts exhibited antibacterial activity. In particular, Sargassum sagamianum ethanol extract showed excellent antibacterial activity at 0.015625 mg/mL by the MIC test. Anti-histamine release activities of natural materials were further investigated by examining their inhibitory effects on histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in the crude enzyme preparation from Photobacterium phosphoreum. The ethanol extracts of Ecklonia cava and Eisenia bicyclis exhibited the strongest HDC inhibitory activity, with 32% and 22%, at a concentration of 1 mg/mL, respectively. Therefore, natural materials may reduce histamine poisoning through decrease of histamine production in mackerel.
