본 연구에서는 phenol이 암예방에 어떻게 영향을 미치는가를 규명하고자 시도하였으며 phenol 이 TBARS에 미치는 영향, TBARS와 암과의 상관관계 규명에 초점을 맞추었다. 식이 phenol이 조직산화와 종양 발생(tumor onset)에 미치는 영향을 측정하기 위하여 영양적으로 우수한 amino acid-based diet와 transgenic mouse model을 이용한 protocol을 사용하였다. Mice는 human lymphotropic virus(type-1) transactivator (taxl) gene을 carry하며 동시에 종양이 외부로 나타난다. 25마리의 transgenic mice를 대조군, 2, 4, 8 mmol catechin/kg diet 군 및 wine solid군으로 구분하였으며, 대조군은 catechin과 wine solid를 전혀 주지 않았으며, wine solid를 군은 red wine 750ml/kg을 주었다. Mice는 매일 관찰하여 맨 처음 종양이 발현하는 날짜를 기록하였다. Catechin과 wine solid를 섭취한 mice에서 종양이 발현하는 시기가 대조군보다 유의적으로 낮았으며 더욱이 4mmol catechin diet 군과 8mmol catechin diet군에서는 실험기간동안 각각 1마리에서 종양이 발견되지 않았다. Catechin와 wine solid를 섭취한 mice의 뇌조직과 비장의 TBRAS 수준은 대조군 mice의 동일한 조직과 비교하였을 때 유의적으로 낮았다. 또한 조직의 TBRAS 수준은 종양 발생과 유의적으로 상관관계가 있었다, 본연구의 결과는 phenol의 종류에 상관없이 식이 phenol에 조직의 항산화(산화억제)를 통해 암예방(cancer prevention)에 영향을 미친다는 것을 제시해 준다.

본 연구에서는 인산코팅된 것과 되지 않은 OXI-PAN섬유를 사용하여 제조된 무질서 배향의 OXI-PAN/페놀수지 복합재료를 불활성분위기의 여러 열처리온도에서 탄화하였을 때, 섬유표면에 인화합물의 존재 유.무가 복합재료의 물리적특성 및 미세구조 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 두 종류 복합재료의 물리적특성 변화를 탄화온도 영향에 대한 섬유와 매트릭스 및 그 계면에서의 미세구조 거동변화와 기공형성의 관점에서 해석하였다. 열처리시 온도상승에 따라 섬유와 매트릭스 계면에서의 화학반응에 의해서 그 구분이 점차 사라지면서 국부적으로 치밀하고 균일한 상을 이루고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 탄화 조건에서도 인산코팅은 OXI-PAN 섬유의 직경의 감소를 억제하고 열안정성을 향상시키므로 복합재료의 부피수축률을 줄이고 탄화수율을 증가시키는데도 어느정도 기여할 수 있으리라 판단되었다.

본 논문에서는 정속마찰 시험기를 사용하여 공기중에서 핏치/CVI계와 페놀/CVI계 낱소/탄소 복합재료의 마찰특성을 평가하고 상호 비교하였다. 운용조건(마찰거리, 마찰속도, 마찰압력)에 관계없이 페놀/CVI계의 평균 마찰계수가 핏치/CVI계 보다 높은 값을 나타내었다. 마찰거리가 4Km이하 일때는 평균 마찰계수가 불안정한 경향을 나타내고 그 이후에서는 안정한 평균 마찰계수 값을 갖는다. 또한 마찰속도와 마찰압력이 증가할수록 평균 마찰계수는 감소하는 경향을 나타내며, 페놀/CVI계의 평균 마찰계수가 핏치/CVI계 보다 높고 마찰면 온도 상승률과 최대 마찰면 온도도 높다. 마찰계수는 마찰면 온도의 영향을 받으며, 마찰속도와 3kg/cm2이하에서 마찰압력이 커질수록 최대 마찰계수를 갖는 마찰면 온도는 높아진다.

본 연구는 흡착과 막분리를 결합시킨 혼성 시스템을 폐수처리에 응용하기 위한 기초 연구로서, 페놀을 분말활성탄에 의해 흡착하고, 흡착된 페놀을 활성탄과 함께 정밀여과에 의해 분리하였다. 분말활성탄의 입자크기가 클수록 여과저항은 감소하였으며, 활성탄의 양이 적을수록 단절점(break point) 이전의 투과농도 변화율과 페놀 부하 변화율은 증가하였다. 분말활성탄의 입자크기가 작을수록 활성탄의 외표면적과 경막물질전달계수의 증가로 인해 단절점 전의 투과농도는 감소하였다.

The Electron/Hole Pair is generated when the activation energy produced by ultraviolet ray illuminates to the semiconductor and OH- ion produced by water photocleavage reacts with positive Hole. As a results, OH radical acting as strong oxidant is generated and then Photocatalytic oxidation reaction occurs. The photocatalytic oxidation can oxidate the non-degradable and hazardous organic substances such as pesticides and aromatic materials easier, safer and shorter than conventional water treatment process. So in this study, many factors influencing the oxidation of chlorophenols, such as inorganic electrolytes addition, change of oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere, temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, chlorophenol concentration, were throughly examined. According to the experiments observations, it is founded that the rate of chlorophenol oxidation follows a first-order reaction and the modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood relationship. And the photocatalytic oxidation occurs only when activation energy acting as Electron/Hole generation, oxygen acting as electron acceptor to prevent Electron/Hole recombination, $TiO_2$ powder acting as photocatalyst are present. The effects of variation of dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature and inorganic electrolytes concentration on 2-chlorophenol oxidation are negligible. And the lower the organic concentration, the higher the oxidation efficiency becomes. Therefore, the photocatalytic oxidation is much effective to oxidation of hazardous substances at very low concentration. The oxidation is effective in the range of 0.1 g/L-10 g/L of $TiO_2$. Finally when the ultra-violet ray is illuminated to $TiO_2$, the surface characteristics of $TiO_2$ change and Adsorption/Desorption reaction on $TiO_2$ surface occurs.

Three potato cultivars, Sumi,Daejima and Namjak, were prepared as slices. They were dipped in distilled water for 20 seconds. The potato slices were packed in polyethylene bags and stored at 5℃. Browning degree, total phenol and chlorogenic acid contents and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity were measured. And the correlation analysis of browning parameters were conducted. The results were as follows. There were increase in browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity during cold storage of potato slices with different cultivars. Among three cultivars, Sumi showed the highest browning degree, phenolic content and PPO activity and also showed the highest % increse of browning and PPO activity during cold storage. On the contrary, Daejima was the lowest. But Daejima showed the highest % increase in phenolic contents during cold storage. With Sumi, browning degree was significantly correlated with PPO activity and phenolic contents (p〈0.05). With Daejima and Namjak, a significant correlation was found between browning degree and PPO activity (p〈0.05). From the above results, enzymatic browning reactions of potato slices and factors affecting them were dependent on cultivar. Among the tested three cultivars, Daejima showed the lowest browning degree during cold storage and thus seems to be desirable for minimal processing.

It is well known that the adsorption character of activated carbon is dependent on the specific surface area and pore volume, but the relationship between the surface-chemical structure and the adsorption character has not been studied very often. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the acidic surface functional groups of activated carbon and the adsorption characteristics of low concentration phenol. So three types of activated carbons and four different treatments were introduced to this isotherm experiment. These treatments were nontreatment, 1N $HNO_3$ treatment, 6N $HNO_3$ treatment, $H_2O_2$ treatment. The conclusions of this study are as followings. If the initial concentration of phenol is high as 5mg/l, the adsorption is dependent on the specific surface area. If the initial concentration of phenol is low as $100{\mu}g/l$, the adsorption is dependent on the average pore volume. The acidic surface functional groups prevent the adsorption of phenol molecules to activated carbon. And the adsorbed amount decreases more for $HNO_3$ treatment than for $H_2O_2$ treatment and more for concentrated $HNO_3$ treatment than for dilute $HNO_3$ treatment.

With the rapid industrialization, an ever-increasing quantity and kind of new organic compounds pose environmental problems due to their toxicity and physiological effect. However, research on the biodegradation of these compounds under anaerobic condition is very limited inspite of its efficiency and economical advantage. In this research, the pH effect on the ring cleavage of phenol under anaerobic condition was investigated, and the theory of phase separation was applied to the degradation of phenol for investigating the role of acidogenic bacteria. Results, obtained from biochemical methane potential(BMP) assay for 15.5 days of incubation, showed that acidic condition was more desirable for phenol degradation than alkaline condition. By both unacclimated methanogenic granular sludge and two mixed cultures, phenol was completely removed within six weeks of incubation with a gas conversion rate of over 86% of theoretical one. However, phenol was not degraded by unacclimated acidogenic culture, and thus it is considered as a syntrophic substrate. In case of phase separated biochemical methane potential(PSBMP) assay, in which acidogenic and methanogenic culture were seeded separately and consecutively, those that had been subjected to normal acidogens for 3 to 4 weeks showed higher gas production than those seeded with sterile or frozen culture.

다구찌의 실험계획기법을 이용하여 탄소섬유/페놀수지의 결화싸이클을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 1인자 2수준과 7인자 3수준으로 구성된 L18(21 × 37) 직교배열표를 사용하였고, 특성치로 굴곡강도와 기공률을 선정하여 실험하였다. 실험계획법의 압축성형 인자로는 8개의 성형인자(승온속도, 가압온도, 성형압력, 경화온도, 경화온도에서의 유지시간, 냉각속도 및 탈기포)가 고려되었으며, 이들 성형인자가 탄소섬유/페놀수지 복합재료의 물성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 분산분석법으로 실험결과를 분석한 결과, 탄소섬유/패놀수지 복합재료의 굴곡강도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 성형인자는 성형압력이고, 기공률에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 성형인자는 경화온도임이 밝혀졌다.

The effects of chlorine dioxide on the oxidation of phenol and disinfection were studied in the various test water conditions. With the 0.3mg/l of chlorine dioxide dose, the spiked phenol(initial concentration: 0.1mg/l) was completely oxidized within 10 minute. The removal rate of phenol was much faster in distilled water than in ground water and filtered water. The applied dose of chlorine dioxide concentrations higher than 0.2mg/l was sufficiently enough for the complete oxidation of phenol. However, with 0.1mg/l of dose, chlorine dioxide can oxidize only 20% of the spiked phenol. The reactive substances present in test water may influence the chlorine dioxide demand in water. pH effect of oxidation rate was also investigated. Increasing the pH, the removal rate of phenol was found to be increased. The disinfection test of chlorine and chlorine dioxide were conducted and compared. The lethal effect for the both disinfectants are similarly powerful. The time for 99% inactivation of E. coli was obtained within 120 sec with the 0.2mg/l of each dose.

The electrochemical oxidation of p-methoxyphenol and hydroquinone for wastewater treatment application was investigated on platinum anode. At the cyclic voltammetry, it was observed that nagative shift of peak potential of p-methoxyphenol and hydroqinone as the pH of electrolytes increases and the peak current showed higher at strong electrolytes than weak electrolytes. In the case of p-methoxyphenol, the optimum electrode potential of controlled potential electrolysis was observed at the potential region of 0.8-1.0 (V vs. SCE) and hydroquinone was showed at the potential of l.0(V vs. SCE). Specially the oxidation rate of p-methoxyphenol and hydroquinone was showed high value in the acid electrolytes.

사과 부패병균(Macrophoma sp.)에 감염된 과일에서 총페놀, flavonol, anthocyanin 함량의 병화를 사과의 여러 발육시기에서 조사하였다. 사과가 성숙됨에 따라 과육, 과피의 총페놀함량은 급격히 감소하였다. 부패병균에 감염된 과육에서 건전한 과육보다 다소 총페놀함량이 낮았으며 품종밀러보다 더 감수성인 후지의 감염된 과육에서 이의 감소가 뚜렷하였다. 건전한 과피에서 보다 감염된 과피에서 높은 페놀함량을 보였으며 밀러에서 이의 증가가 현저하였다. 부패된 사과에서 flavonol 함량이 건전 사과보다 높았으며 7월 10일에 Macrophoma에 완전 저항성이었던 사과의 감염된 과피에 flavonol이 크게 축적되었다. anthocyanin 생성도 감염된 과피에 상당히 증가되었으며 품종 밀러에서 뚜렷했다. 이들 결과에서 미루어 사과의 페놀대사변동은 사과 부패병진전과 관계가 있을지 모른다.

Oxidative degradation of phenol, three monochlorophenols (2-chlorophenol, 2-CP; 3-chlorophenol, 3-CP; 4-chlorophenol, 4-CP), four dichlorophenols (2,3-dichlorophenol, 2,3-DCP; 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-DCP; 2,5-dichlorophenol, 2,5-DCP; 2,6-dichlorophenol, 2,6-DCP), and two trichlorophenols (2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,4,5-TCP; 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,4,6-TCP) was conducted with heat activated persulfate. As the number of chlorinations increased, the reaction rate also increased. The reaction rate was relatively well fitted to the zero-order kinetic model, rather than the pseudo-first order kinetic model for the reactions at 60℃, which can be explained by insufficient activation of the persulfate at 60℃, and the oxidation reaction of 2,4,6-TCP at 70℃ was relatively well fitted to the pseudo-first order kinetic model. The oxidation reaction rate generally increased with increase of persulfate concentration in the solution. 2,6-dichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione was found as a degradation product in a GC/MS analysis. This compound is a non-aromatic compound, and one chlorine was removed. This result is similar to the result of previous studies. The current study proved that heat activated persulfate activation could be an alternative remediation technology for phenol and chlorophenols in soil and groundwater.

Background : Aralia continentalis Kitag. (syn. = A. cordata Thunb., Araliaceae) is a traditional medicinal herb spread widely in northeastern Asia, including Korea, China, and Japan. Many constituents from its root extracts, including diterpene and essential oils, have been isolated as active components for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, sedative, antifungal, anti-thrombotic, and growth inhibition. In this study, we describe the structural determination of the two new compounds. Materials and Results : The roots of A. continentalis were collected in Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do, Korea, in March 2018 and identified by one of the authors (Dr. S. S. Hong). The roots of A. continentalis were extracted with 70% EtOH two times at room temperature. The concentrated residue was subsequently suspended in H2O and partitioned with n-hexane, CH2Cl2, EtOAc and n-BuOH. The n-hexane, CH2Cl2, and EtOAc layer were subjected to sequential column chromatography over silica-gel, RP-18, MPLC and preparative HPLC to isolated the compounds 1 - 30. Consequently, a new nor-ent-pimaran diterpenoid (11) and a new 8-O-4′ type neolignan (25) along with 28 known compounds that included diterpenoids, phenolic derivates, and polyacetylenes have been isolated from the ethanol extract of the roots of A. continentalis. The structures of the new compounds were established by spectroscopic data interpretation, particularly HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR data including HSQC and HMBC. Also, those of the known compounds were identified by spectral comparison with those of the reported values. Conclusion : The structures of two new compounds were determined as 18-nor-ent-pimara-9 (11),15-diene-4β-ol (11) and 8-O-4-dehydrocoumaroyl-ferulic acid (25). To our knowledge, compounds 10, 14, 15, 19, 20, 22 – 24, and 26 were isolated and identified from Aralia genus for the first time.

Background : Miscanthus sinensis is a C4 crop with high photosynthetic efficiency and is known as a representative cellulose-based bio-energy crop originating in East Asia such as Korea, Japan, and China. It also has a high resistance to environmental conditions such as low temperature and drying and pests. However, many studies on the antioxidant activity of the M. sinensis have not been conducted. Therefore, this study was conducted to measure total phenol and total flavonoid contents of the M. sinensis accessions collected from some countries and to select the M. sinensis accessions with rich total phenol and total flavonoid contents. The results of this study can be used as basic data for future breeding. Methods and Results : This study carried out the total phenol and total flavonoid contents analysis of M. sinensis collected from different country to preserve genetic resources. Total 205 accessions of M. sinensis were collected from the USA, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand and Zambia. Their leaves were extracted with 100% methanol and concentrated at 45℃. To determine total phenol and total flavonoid contents, we measured the total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The highest total phenolic conten t(81.04 ± 0.02 ㎎·GAE/g) showed in the accession (PMS-178) from China. The highest total flavonoid content (32.66 ± 0.01 ㎎·QE/g) showed in the accession (KMS104) from Korea. On the other hand the lowest total phenolic content (1.11 ± 0.00 ㎎·GAE/g) and the total flavonoid content (0.81 ± 0.00 ㎎·QE/g) were obtained from the accession (M. sinensis ‘Super Stripe’) from USA. Conclusion : In this study, we analysed the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents by country of origin.

Background : The root of Angelica gigas Nakai is used as a traditional herbal medicine in Korea for the treatment of many diseases. Poor water solubility of the active compounds from A. gigas Nakai is a major obstacle to bioavailability. Methods and Results : This work aimed to enhance the solubility of active compounds by a chemical (viz. surfactant) and physical (HME, hot melt extrusion) crosslinking method (CPC) in A. gigas Nakai. Infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed multiple peaks in extrudate solids representing new functional groups including carboxylic acid, alkynes and benzene derivatives. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of the extrudate showed lower glass transition temperature (Tg) and lower enthalpy (ΔH) [Tg: 43℃; ΔH: <6 (J/g)] compared to the non-extrudate (Tg 68.5℃; ΔH: 123.2) formulations. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed amorphization of crystal materials in extrudate solid. In addition, enhanced solubility (53%), nanonization (403 ㎚), and higher amount of extracted phenolic compounds were achieved in the extrudate solid compared to non extrudate (36%, 1499 ㎚, respectively). Among the different extrudates, acetic acid and span 80 mediated formulations showed superior extractions efficiency. Conclusion : We conclude that the HME successfully enhanced the production of amorphous nano dispersions of phenolic compound including decursin from extrudate solid formulations. human dermal fibroblasts, which is, associated with the regulation of procollagen biosynthesis resulting from AMRP-induced TGF-β1 expression and the mitogenic activity in HDF cells, and therefore, is expected to reduce the age-dependent loss of extracellular matrix proteins.

Background : Basil is well known for its use in cooking, however, the herb is also noted for its value in traditional medicine. Basil is a digestive stimulant with antimicrobial, antibacterial, anticonvulsant and anticarcinogenic properties. Basil contains high levels of phenolic acids that contribute to its strong antioxidant capacity and the substantial concentrations of rosmarinic acid, in particular, have been associated with the herb’s medicinal qualities. Rosmarinic acid is noted in the literature to be the most prevalent basil phenolic but other caffeic acid derivatives, such as chicoric acid, are also found in high concentrations. But, no previous study about other phenolic compounds accumulation except previously mentioned. Thus, the aim of this study is to explain that basil accumulates other phenolic compounds except previously mentioned. Methods and Results : 6 basil cultivars, ‘Holy’, ‘Lemon’, ‘Cinnamon’, ‘Dark Opal’, ‘Bush’ and ‘Genovese’, were grown at experimental field of Chungnam National University. These plants leaves were freeze-dried at -80℃ for 72 h and then ground into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. 100 ㎎ of the sample was weighed into 15 ㎖ tube and 2 ㎖ of 80% (v/v) methanol was added. Next, the tube containing the powder was allowed to be sonicated for 1h at 35℃, and then centrifugation was performed at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was filtered with a 0.45 ㎛ PTFE syringe filter and analyzed by a Futecs model NS-4000 HPLC apparatus. 12 phenolic compounds were identified and quantitated in the different cultivar leaves of basil through comparison of retention time, spike tests and external standard calibration curves using HPLC. Gallic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, catechin hydrate, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, benzoic acid, rutin, trans-cinnamic acid, quercetin, kaempferol were identified. Among 6 basil cultivars, ‘Dark Opal’ show the highest accumulation of phenolic compounds, particular benzoic acid (6.32 ㎎/g dry weight), rutin (1.13 ㎎/g dry weight) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (0.4 ㎎/g dry weight) are higher than other cultivars. Conclusion : The results presented herein provide information about variation of phenolic compounds in 6 basil cultivars, ‘Holy’, ‘Lemon’, ‘Cinnamon’, ‘Dark Opal’, ‘Bush’ and ‘Genovese’.

However, the poor water solubility of the active components in A. gigas Nakai is a major obstacle to its bioavailability. Methods and Results: This work aimed at enhancing the solubility of the active compounds of A. gigas Nakai by a chemical (using a surfactant) and physical (hot melt extrusion, HME) crosslinking method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed multiple peaks in the case of the extrudate solids, attributable to new functional groups including carboxylic acid, alkynes, and benzene derivatives. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the extrudate soilid had a lower glass transition temperature (Tg) and enthalpy (ΔH) (Tg : 43℃, ΔH : < 6 J/g) as compared to the non-extrudate (Tg : 68.5℃, ΔH : 123.2) formulations.

In addition, enhanced solubility (53%), nanonization (403 ㎚), and a higher amount of extracted phenolic compounds were achieved in the extrudate solid than in the non-extrudate (solubility : 36%, nanonization : 1,499 ㎚) formulation. Among the different extrudates, acetic acid and span 80 mediated formulations showed superior extractions efficiency. Conclusions: HME successfully enhanced the production of amorphous nano dispersions of phenolic compound including decursin from extrudate solid formulations.

Background : The aloe has been reported to have significant therapeutic effects, such as inhibition of cancer cells' activation and proliferation as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-oxidation properties. However, the phytochemicals analysis and antioxidant activity of the Aloe vera flower extracts have not been widely investigated. In this regard, we investigated the phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts of the Aloe barbadensis flower in hydrogen peroxide-treated BALB/c mice. Methods and Results : This research highlights the phenolic constituents' profile and antioxidant activity of 70% ethanol extracts of Aloe vera flower for the first time. The ethanol-based extracts showed the inhibition for linoleic acid oxidation and free radical-induced DNA damage. Among about 11 phenolic constituents of the extract, identified by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the content of vanillic acid was highest, corresponding to strong antioxidant activities of the extract. The extracts elevated superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase enzymes activities in the liver tissue of hydrogen peroxide-treated BALB/c mice. The radical-scavenging activities of the extracts were well-correlated to the total phenolic content. Conclusion : In conclusion, Aloe bardadensis flower might be an effective source of natural antioxidant with high level of phenolic constituents.

Background : Agaricus bisporus mushroom, which originated from Europe, is an edible mushroom with a unique taste and flavor and is the most widely cultivated mushroom type worldwide, particularly because of the relatively high protein, dietary fiber, and vitamin D contents of the fruit body, which have human health benefits like anticancer and DNA damage protection. However, to our knowledge, few studies have been conducted on the ability to discriminate mushroom’s bioactive compounds according to regional production sites. Thus, this study was aimed to examine the regional difference of selected bioactive compounds in of Agaricus bisporus mushroom. Methods and Results : The cultivars (cv.) “Saedo” and “Saehan” obtained from five regions of Korea were measured their phenolics and fatty acids profiling by LC/MS and GC-FID system, respectively. Among 54 targeted phenolics, protocatechuic, p-hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, 2,4-dihydrobenzoic, p-coumaric, and salicylic acids were found in the cv. Saedo and cv. Saehan fruit body. Also, tyrosine and phenylalanine, which are precursor metabolites of phemolics, were also observed in the A. bisporus fruit body. In particular, phenylalanine and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were the most abundant phenolic precusor and metabolite present in the A. bisporus, and was significant with the production regions (p < 0.05). The FA content was significant with the production region, but not much differed (p < 0.05). The n-6 FA including linoleic acid was the major FA in the mushroom, accounting > 70% over total FA content. However, the n-3 FA was the n-6 FA was very minor FA metabolites. Conclusion : These preliminary results can extend knowledge of regional difference of certain targeted bioactive compounds in A. bisporus mushroom produced in Korea, contributing to reliable regional difference with potential broader applications for the international mushroom market.
