본 연구는 새만금 간척지와 주산지인 무안에서 재배하였을 때 양파의 생육과 퀘르세틴 등 기능성 성분을 분석하였다. 양파는 중생종 품종인 ‘맵시황’, 중만생 품종인 ‘선파워’, ‘헬시큐’를 사용하였다. 전남 무안에 9월 상순 파종 후 육묘하여 간척지와 무안에 각각 11월 상순에 정식하고 이듬해 6월 초순에 수확하였다. 중만생종 품종인 ‘선파워’와 ‘헬시큐’가 간척지에서 구중 336.5g, 248.3g으로 생육이 우수하였다. 피루브산은 ‘헬시큐’, ‘맵시황’, ‘선파워’ 순으로 높았고 지역 별로는 ‘헬시큐’, ‘맵시황’ 품종이 간척지 재배 시 각각 48.3μmol·g-1, 41.1μmol·g-1으로 무안에서 재배하였을 때보다 높았다. 총 퀘르세틴은 품종 별로 비교하였을 때 ‘헬시큐’가 219.1μg·g-1으로 가장 높았고 ‘선파워’, ‘맵시황’의 순이었으며 재배지역에 따른 차이는 확인되지 않았다. 또한 총 페놀은 총 퀘르세틴 함량과 유사한 경향을 보였으며, ‘헬시큐’의 함량이 853.7μg·mL-1으로 가장 높았고, ‘선파워’는 무안에서 재배할 경우 페놀 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로, 피루브산, 총 퀘르세틴, 총 페놀의 함량은 재배지역 보다는 품종에 따른 영향이 큰 것으로 판단되었다.
동물 화분매개는 대부분 벌과 파리 등의 곤충에 의해서 이루어지는 매우 중요한 생태계 서비스 중 하나이다. 농업생산성의 유지와 영양분의 안정적 공급은 인류 복지의 근간이 된다. 이 연구는 한국 농업에서 화분매개가 식량 생산 증진에 미치는 기능을 평가하였다. 2015년 농업총조사, 농촌진흥청 농업 소득자료집, 기타 시장가격 자료 등의 농작물 재배와 생산액에 대한 자료에 화분매개 의존도를 반영하였다. 12개의 식량작물, 19개 과수, 18개 노지 채소와 13개 시설 채소 그리고 9개의 특용작물 등 71개 작물을 대상으로 한 분석에서, 전체 작물의 화분매개 의존도는 평균 29.2%이었으며, 식량작물이 가장 낮은 7.5%로 나타났다. 화분매개 의존량은 전체 농작물의 17.8%이었으며 그 경제적 가치는 6조 8.5천억원 (65.1-71.9천억원)으로 추정되었다. 화분매개 의존 생산량은 시설 과채류에서 49.2%로 가장 높았고 과수가 42%, 특용작물이 35.9%를 차지하 였다. 본 연구를 통해 곤충 화분매개는 한국 농업 생산에서 핵심적 과정이며 식량-영양안보적 관점에서 보호증진해야 하는 과정임이 분명해졌다. 농업에서 화분매개자를 보호하고 화분매개서비스를 강화할 수 있는 관리 전략으로 병해충-화분매개 통합관리(IPPM)개념과 추진 전략에 대하여 추가적으로 논의하였다.
본 연구는 밀폐형 식물생산 시스템에서 다양한 형광등 종류에 따른 시금치 ‘수시로’의 생육과 기능성물질 함량에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 종자는 128구 플러그 트레이에 암면을 이용하여 파종되었다. 시금치 묘는 재순환 담액식 수경재배 시스템을 이용하여 EC 1.5dS·m-1, pH 6.5의 밀폐형 식물생산 시스템에 정식되었다. 묘는 3가지 종류의 형광등 #S(NBFHF 32S8EX-D, CH LIGHTING Co. Ltd., China), #O( FHF32SSEX-D, Osram Co. Ltd., Germany), #P(FLR32SS EX-D, Philips Co. Ltd., The Netherlands)에 광도 150μmol·m-2·s-1 PPFD와 광주기 14/10 (명기/암기)으로 설정했다. 정식 후 재배환경은 온도 25±1oC와 상대습도 60±10% 였다. 정식 후 6주간 각 처리마다 30개체를 재배하였고, 생육 및 기능성 물질 함량을 3주째와 6주째 측정했다. 정식 후 3주째, #O 형광등에서 다른 처리구에 비해 초장과 엽폭이 유의적으로 컸다. 그러나 지하부의 생체중과 건물중은 #P 형광등에서 가장 높았다. 또한 총페놀 함량은 #P 형광등에서 유의적으로 가장 높았다. 정식 후 6주째, #O 형광등에서 초장, 지상부의 생체중 및 건물중에서 시금치의 생육이 향상되는 효과를 보였다. 총페놀 함량도 #O 형광 등에서 다른 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다. 그러나 항산화 활성은 모든 처리구에서 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 이러한 결과는 밀폐형 식물생산 시스템에서 #O 형광등 처리가 시금치의 생육과 기능성물질 함량 축적에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
This study was conducted to establish process conditions for plant-originated lactic acid production using a mixed culture of plant originated lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus sakei B2-16, and Lactobacillus plantarum P23, which were isolated from kimchi, and Bacillus subtilis, which was TP6 isolated from Denjang. Soybean medium was pretreated for 10 minutes at 110℃ and hydrolyzed with 0.2%(w/v) cellulase at 55~60℃ for at least 2 hrs. The quality of the final fermentation product was influenced by the inoculation ratio of the Lactobacillus sakei B2-16, Lactobacillus plantarum P23, and Bacillus subtilis TP6. The optimum microorganism inoculation ratio was 1:0.7:0.3, Lactobacillus sakei B2-16: Lactobacillus plantarum P23: Bacillus subtilis TP6, respectively. The sensory characteristics of the product were a refreshing sourness and a soft flavor.
Hydroxy fatty acids have gained important attentions because of their special properties such as higher viscosity and reactivity compared to non-hydroxy fatty acids. The new bacterial isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PR3) had been well studied to produce mono-, di-, and tri-hydroxy fatty acids from different unsaturated fatty acids. Of those hydroxy fatty acids, 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid (DOD) was produced with high yield from oleic acid by P. aeruginosa PR3. Mostly, the substrates used for the production of hydroxy fatty acid by microorganisms were free fatty acids or synthetic lipids. However, it is highly plausible to use vegetable oils containing oleic acid such as olive oil for DOD production by P. aeruginosa PR3. As a first step to address the utilization of olive oil as a substrate for DOD production, we tried to determine the effect of vessel type on DOD production from olive oil by P. aeruginosa PR3. Of two different flask types of normal flask and baffled-flask, baffled-flask was highly effective for DOD production with all the media tested. Maximum increase of productivity by baffled-flask represented 221% with the medium supplemented with whey powder instead of lactose. Results from this study demonstrated that vessel type and medium composition could be both significant factors for DOD production from olive oil by P. aeruginosa PR3.
Soymilk has been substituted for milk for people who are suffering from lactoseintolerance. In this study γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) producing lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum LP2, was applied to ferment soymilk for improving its functionality. GABA production was proved in MRS broth supplemented 3% monosodium glutamate (MSG) and soymilk including 10% (w/v) soymilk powder and 5%(w/v) fructooligosaccharide where L. plantarum LP2 was applied. In addition to the soymilk, isolated soy protein (ISP), which was enzyme-treated, was added to it for improving the content of free amino acids including glutamic acid. L. plantarum LP2 was well grown and produced GABA in the soymilk medium.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of envrionmental factors on the ecological responses, yield, and quality properties and physicochemical characteristics of yacon cultivated in various regions of Korea. Experiments were carried out in eight regions from 2010 to 2013. The temperature range in Jinbu, Bonghwa, Cheolwon, and Gangneung during the growth period of yacon cultivation was 17.5-24.6°C. The total yield and marketable yield of tuberous root in Jinbu were 4,065 and 3,196 kg/10a, respectively. The sugar content of yacon tuberous roots comprised 0.11-0.20% fructose, 0.11-0.37% glucose, 0.39-0.68% sucrose, 0.07-0.37% reducing sugar, and 7.03-9.62% fructo-oligosaccharides. The content of fructo-oligosaccharides, which is a functional substance, was the highest in yacon cultivated in Jinbu. Based on the productivity and functional fructo-oligosaccharides, the optimum areas to cultivate yacon are Jinbu and Bonghwa, which are located in the middle-highland zone (500-560 m) and have a suitable growth temperature of 18-25°C. The results of the present study indicate that temperature could be the factor with the greatest influence on the root growth of yacon.

For the purpose of reuse the wasted by-products from the skate process to the health functional food or medicinal material, chondroitin sulfate was extracted from the skate cartilage with the method of hydrolysis with protease enzyme, and the contents of chondroitin sulfate and hydrolyzed protein were measured qualitatively and quantitatively. The effects of chondroitin sulfate on body weight or liver weight changes, hepatotoxicity elimination and anti-inflammatory actions were measured from in vivo test with feed-treated mice. From the hydrolytic extraction of skate cartilage with the mixture of 1% alcalase and 1% protease for 4 hours, the extraction yield of chondroitin sulfate was about 32.55%. The content and molecular weight of chondroitin sulfate was 26.63% and 2.85×105 Da., respectively and the content ratio of chondroitin sulfate to protein was measured to 1 to 2.76 with gel permeation chromatography. For the odor component, trimethylamine decreased about 30% but almost not ammonia from chondroitin sulfate with the treatment of activated carbon. From the feeding chondroitin sulfate to mice, the control effect of body and liver weights decrease was measured, anti-inflammatory action and hepatotoxicity elimination action were also measured. From these results, process operation conditions for manufacturing of chondroitin sulfate were suggested.
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has played important role as new functional material for food industry and industrial products based on its unique properties. The interest in BC from static cultures has increased steadily in recent years because of its potential for use in medicine and cosmetics. In this study, we investigated culture condition for BC production by Acetobacter sp. F15 in static culture. The strain F15, which was isolated from decayed fruit, was selected on the basis of BC thickness. The optimal medium compositions for BC production were glucose 7%, soytone 12%, K2HPO4 0.2%, NaH2PO4ㆍ2H2O 0.2%, lactic acid 0.05% and ethanol 0.3%, respectively. The strain F15 was able to produce BC at 26℃-36℃ with a maximum at 32 ℃. BC production occurred at pH 4.5-8 with a maximum at pH 6.5. Under these conditions, a maximum BC thickness of 12.15 mm was achieved after 9 days of cultivation; this value was about 2.3-fold higher than the thickness in basic medium. Scanning electron micrographs showed that BC from the optimal medium was more compact than plant cellulose and was reticulated structure consisting of ultrafine cellulose fibrils. BC from the optimal medium was found to be of cellulose type I, the same as typical native cellulose.
작물의 생산량 증대는 농업이 이루는 목표 중 가장 중요한 것 중 하나이다. 본 연구실은 차세대바이어그린 사업의 목표의 일환으로 벼의 생산성을 증가시키는 유전형질을 찾는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이에 다양한 벼 유전자의 기능을 분석한 결과 OsVIL2 유전자를 과발현 시키면 생산량이 대폭 증가하는 것을 발견하였다. 유전자 과발현은 이삭 당 열매 수를 50% 가까이 증가시켰으며 또한 줄기 두께 및 신장 길이를 증가시켰다. 따라서 바이오매스가 증가함으로써 추가로 생긴 열매의 무게를 잘 견디는 것이 관찰되었다. 이러한 바이오매스 증가는 세포 수의 증가 때문이며 세포의 길이는 오히려 감소하였다. OsVIL2 유전자는 chromatin remodeling에 관여하는 polycomb group의 subunit 중 하나인 EMF2b와 결합하여 그 기능을 하는 것으로 규명되었다. 이에 본 연구실은 OsVIL2가 어떻게 세포 수를 증가시키는지 세포학적 분석을 할 것이며, 이의 target 유전자는 어떤 것인지 등을 ChIP sequencing을 통해 분석할 예정이다. 또한 이 유전자를 다양한 벼 품종에 도입하여 생산량 증가 표현형과 유전적 배경 사이의 연관관계를 연구할 것이다.
