향유, 석창포 및 산초의 플로랄 워터가 장미의 절화 품질 및 수명연장에 미치는 효과 = Effect of Floral Water Extracted from Elsholtzia ciliata, Acorus gramineus, and Zanthoxylum schinifolium on Quality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of floral water(hydrosol) extracted from Elsholtzia ciliata, Acorus gramineus, and Zanthoxylum schinifolium on the vase life quality and prolongation of cut rose. Antimicrobial effects of X1, X10, and X50 diluted floral water used for cut rose were measured, and the sensory tests by female college students for the change of flower longevity, flower form, scent, leaf and stem form were carried out. Original floral water treatment of A. gramineus, E. ciliata, and Z. schinifolium remarkably reduced 51.6%, 77.9%, and 48.4% of the bacterial count in vase solution, respectively. Although diluted floral water of A. gramineus and E. ciliata had lower anti-bacterial activity, that of Z. schinifolium had the highest activity. In sensory panel test, floral water from Z. schinifolium extended flower longevity and kept the flower form most effectively. Scent and leaf form of cut rose treated with floral water resulted in better conditions than those of untreated one according to value of sense test. On the other hand, floral water treatment effect of A. gramineus and E. ciliata was not significant compared to control.
