남부지역에서 고구마 바이러스 무병묘의 정식시기 및 재배 기간에 따른 괴근 수량 및 씨고구마 생산량을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 바이러스 무병묘 정식시기에 따라 씨고구마로 사용하기에 알맞은 100~300 g 크기의 괴근 생산량은 6월 중순 정식 재배에서 ‘신율미’ 2,364 kg/10a, ‘풍원미’ 2,625 kg/10a 수준이었다. 2. 바이러스 무병묘를 7월 상순에 정식하여 재배하여도 씨고구마로 사용하기에 알맞은 100~300 g 크기의 괴근 수량은 ‘신율미’ 2,043, ‘진홍미’ 1,799, ‘다호미’ 1,390, ‘풍원미’ 1,985 kg/10a 정도가 생산되었다. 3. 고구마 바이러스 무병묘 정식 후 110일, 120일, 그리고 130 일 재배 시 씨고구마 수량은 ‘풍원미’ 1,605, 1,907, 1,834 kg/ 10a, ‘호감미’ 1,816, 1,771, 2,137 kg/10a 수준으로 생산되었다. 4. 수확 전 채취한 고구마 잎에서 SPLCV, SPFMV, SPVG, SPLV 등 4종 바이러스 이병 정도를 검정한 결과 정식시기, 재배기간 등 품종에 따라 약간 차이는 있으나 낮게 검출되어 다음해 씨고구마 종자로 문제가 없다고 판단하였다. 5. 바이러스 무병묘 대량 증식에는 시설과 노력이 많이 소요되고 증식량이 적어 면적 확대에 어려움이 있기 때문에 무병씨고구마를 생산하면 면적 확대에 유리하다. 무병묘가 소량 일 경우는 계속 증식하면서 7월 상순까지 본밭에 정식하여도 씨고구마 생산이 가능하였다. 금후에는 무병묘로 생산한 연차 간 씨고구마에 대해 품종별 수량과 품질 평가 후 씨고구마의 적정 갱신 주기를 설정하고자 한다.

This study examined the nutrient components and measured the physicochemical properties of 23 Korean sweet potato cultivars. The proximate composition, free sugars, organic acids, and dietary fiber of sweet potato were analyzed and the water binding capacity, oil absorption and pasting characteristics were measured. The proximate composition was the highest in Happymi and was higher in colored sweet potato than in general sweet potato (p<0.05). The sucrose content was the highest among the free sugars in the general cultivars and yellow/orange colored cultivar. The major organic acids were oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and acetic acid. Oxalic acid and citric acid were high in the purple colored cultivars and malic acid was high in yellow/orange colored cultivars. Each total dietary fiber content of the general and colored cultivars was 7.51-13.94 and 13.04-16.97%, respectively, but there was no significant difference. The water binding capacity and oil absorption of Juhwangmi was high in all cultivars (p<0.05). The peak viscosity of sweet potato powder showed highest a significant difference of 12.50-1342 cP (p<0.05). The breakdown of Sincheonmi was 512, which was the highest value (p<0.05). The setback of Geonpungmi was significantly low, 6.0 (p<0.05).

1. 본 연구는 고구마의 큐어링 처리 및 저장기간에 따른 품종별 저장성 차이를 조사하여 품종별 적정 저장 조건을 설정하고자 수행하였다. 수확된 고구마는 온도 32±1℃, 상대습도 92±3% 조건에서 3일간 큐어링 처리를 실시하였고 대조구와 함께 13±℃의 저장고에 30주간 저장하였다. 2. 저장 기간에 따른 부패율 및 감모율은 품종별로 큐어링 처리 여부에 따라 다른 양상을 보였으며 대부분 품종에서 큐어링 처리구의 부패율과 감모율이 낮게 나타났다. 품종별로는 ‘호감미’, ‘풍원미’, ‘신건미’, ‘주황미’가 장기저장을 위해서 큐어링 처리가 필요한 품종으로 나타났으며, ‘다호미’, ‘연자미’ 품종은 큐어링 처리 여부에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 큐어링 처리 여부에 따른 부패율 차이가 없었던 ‘다호미’, ‘연자미’를 제외한 나머지 품종은 감모율 조사에서도 큐어링 처리가 장기 저장에 더 유리한 것으로 조사되었다. 4. ‘호감미’ 품종의 경우 저장기간별 부패율 및 감모율을 예측하고 조수입을 계산하였을 때 큐어링 처리 시에는 조수입이 증가하였으나 큐어링 무처리 시에는 저장기간이 길어질수록 조수입이 감소하였다. 5. 따라서 이러한 품종별 저장성 차이를 고려하여 각 품종에 맞는 수확 후 관리 및 적정 출하시기를 예측하는 것이 고구마 저장성 증대 및 농가 소득 향상에 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 국내 유통되고 있는 건조 농산물 중 33종의 고구마말랭이에 대하여 이산화황, 카로티노이드 함량 및 바실러스 세레우스 오염 정도를 조사하였다. 고구마말랭이의 시료별 특징에 따라 4가지의 군집으로 분류하여 각 군집간의 이산화황, 카로티노이드 함량 및 바실러스 세레 우스 함량을 조사한 결과, 각 군집간의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 33개의 고구마말랭이에서 잔류 이산화 황이 검출 범위는 0.38~28.16 mg/kg으로 기준인 10 mg/kg 이상으로 검출된 경우는 3건(9.09%) 이었지만, 고구마말 랭이의 이산화황 잔류 허용 기준치인 30 mg/kg을 초과하는 시료는 나타나지 않았다. 고구마말랭이는 카로티노이드에 대한 규격 기준이 없으므로 카로티노이드의 국·내 외 기준을 비교하였을 때, 본 실험에서 검출된 고구마말랭이의 카로티노이드 검출 범위는 46~2663 μg/100 g 로 카로티노이드의 함량 기준인 0~9,826 μg/100 g 의 범위 내로 확인되었다. 고구마말랭이 시료에서 바실러스 세레우스로 추정되는 집락은 대체적으로 검출되지 않았으며 7건(21.21%) 에서만 0.05~1.59 log CFU/g 범위로 검출되었지만 국내 기준치인 3 log CFU/g 은 넘지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 건조 농산물 중 고구마말랭이에 대한 기준규 격 제정 시 품질 지표 기준으로 설정할 수 있는 기초자료 로서 활용될 것으로 판단되며 국내 유통중인 고구마말랭 이에 대한 품질 관리를 위해서는 원재료부터 건조 방법 그리고 포장 후 유통까지 안정하게 공정 과정이 진행되도 록 지속적인 관리 및 유지를 해야 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic quality characteristics, like moisture contents, hunter color value, total polyphenol, starch, amylose, and ash contents and pasting characteristics of sweet potato cultivars according to storage periods. Moisture contents of all the varieties decreased with long storage period, and were lower in dry type than tender and moist type sweet potato.

Redness(a value) was increased in Sinyulmi, Sinhwangmi, Sinjami and yellowness (b value) increased in Yeonjami only. The total polyphenol contents increased in Dahomi, Sinjami up to 4 months of storage and all other varieties showed decrease during storage period. The starch contents also decreased with storage period. The amylose contents showed different by the cultivars. The ash contents in all varieties ranged from 1.1 to 1.7%, and there was no difference among varieties and storage periods. There was no change in pasting temperature during storage periods. Peak viscosity, through viscosity, breakdown and final viscosity were different according to storage periods and cultivars. But setback tended to increase in all cultivars.

고구마전분은 고구마를 마쇄, 여과, 침지, 세척 및 건조 등 일련의 과정에 따라 제조되나, 추출수율이 낮고, 가격이 비싸 상업적인 전분소재로서 활용이 제한된다. 본 연구의 목적은 고구마로부터 고구마전분의 추출수율에 대한 효소적 추출법 요인들의 영향을 탐색하고, 효소적 추출법에 의해 제조된 고구마전분의 물리화학적 특성들의 평가를 통해 상업화 가능성을 조사하는 것이었다. 저온당화현상에 의한 고구마 내의 전분 함량의 감소를 최소로 하기 위해 고구마는 세척하여 2 cm 두께로 세절하고 -20°C에서 냉동저장하면서 본 연구의 재료로 사용하였으며, 셀룰로오스분해효소는 식품첨가물등급의 것을 이용하였다. 고구마전분의 효소적 추출 조건은 셀룰로오스분해효소의 반응시간, 반응온도 및 사용량을 요인들로 하는 23 요인설계법을 이용하여 5개의 중심점들과 반복점들을 포함하는 21개의 실험점들을 설계하였다. 고구마로부터 전분의 추출수율이 40%(d.b) 이상이고, 회수율이 70% 이상인 효소반응조건들을 이용하여 추출된 고구마전분들을 선별하고, 이들의 용해도 및 팽윤력, 호화 특성과 페이스팅 점도 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 동일한 고구마를 이용하여 기존의 방법에 따라 추출된 고구마전분을 대조군으로 하였다. 선별된 고구마전분들은 반응시간, 반응온도, 효소 사용량이 각각 3 h, 40°C, 3.0%(d.b)에서(SPS1), 4.5 h, 27.5°C, 2.0%(d.b)에서(SPS2), 6 h, 15°C, 3.0%(d.b)에서(SPS3) 추출한 것들이었다. 셀룰로오스분해효소 처리에 의한 고구마전분의 추출수율은 반응시간, 반응온도 및 효소 사용량 사이의 유의적인 상호작용이 존재하였다. 용해도는 대조군에 비해 SPS1은 유의적으로 낮았으나, SPS2와 SPS3는 유의적으로 높았다. 팽윤력은 SPS1을 제외한 셀룰로오스분해효소 처리에 의한 고구마전분들이 대조군 보다 유의적으로 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 호화온도는 고구마전분들 사이에서 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 호화엔탈피는 SPS1만 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 페이스팅 점도는 셀룰로오스분해효소 처리에 의한 고구마전분들이 대조군 보다 미미하게 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 셀룰로오스분해효소 처리에 의한 고구마전분들은 기존의 추출법에 의한 고구마전분과는 용해도와 팽윤력에 있어 차이를 보였지만 전반적으로 기존의 추출법에 의한 고구마전분을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was intended to investigate microwave drying characteristics of sweet potato. Two different shaped sweet potato samples (slice and shred with 6 and 9 mm in thickness, respectively) were dried under different microwave power ranging from 90 W to 900 W. Moisture ratio, drying rate, effective moisture diffusivity, dielectric properties and change in color during drying of the samples were determined. The domestic microwave oven was modified for drying of the samples. For ventilating water vapor during microwave drying, the small centrifugal fan was installed on the left upper side of microwave oven. Six well-known drying models were applied to figure out the best model for describing microwave drying curve of sweet potato. A non-linear regression analysis was used to calculate model constants. The applied models were compared based on the coefficient of correlation and root mean square error. Dielectric properties of fresh and dried samples at different drying time were measured using performance probe connected to vector network analyzer. The results showed that drying time of both samples was significantly decreased with an increase in microwave power, however, as compared with the sample shape, drying time of shredded samples was shorter than slice sample. The dried sample by 900 W was scorching and indicated the worst quality in terms of color. The Page model was most suitable for describing experimental drying data. The effective moisture diffusivity changes obtained from Fick’s diffusion method was between 0.057 ×10-8 and 2.353 × 10-8 The moisture diffusivity was increased with an increase in microwave power. The measured dielectric properties of sample at different drying time varied depending upon moisture contents of dried samples.

This study examined the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyeon made with wet non-glutinous rice flour and rice wine. The samples of Jeung-pyeon were prepared with different ratios of cooked purple sweet potato (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) to analyze the water content, sugar content, pH, chromaticity, texture characteristics, and sensory evaluation. No significant difference in water content, sugar content, and springiness was observed among the 5 samples. The pH and volume showed the highest level at 0%. The L-value and b-value decreased while the a-value increased. The hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were highest at 9% and lowest at 12%. The extent of violet chromaticity and pore size were optimal in 9%. In addition, 9%-added purple sweet potato showed the highest score of odor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. In conclusion, the optimal addition for the highest acceptability of cooked purple sweet potato was 9%.

Sweet potato-malt worts were prepared by using sweet potato paste of Shinyulmi and Shinjami as the main adjunct, enzymes, malt, hop, and water. We brewed low-malt beers of the lager- or ale-type by using these worts and inoculating bottom and top fermenting yeast, respectively. Moreover, the componential and functional characteristics of the resulting beers were evaluated. During saccharification of sweet potato, the addition of an enzyme agent containing α-amylase caused an improvement in filterability and an increase of total sugar. The sugar content of sweet potato-malt wort which was prepared by the addition of 0.1% enzyme agent containing α-amylase and a three-step infusion procedure was 13.5 °Brix adequate for beer brewing. The polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of Shinjami beer were increased with increasing content of the paste, and also increased DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. But in Shinyulmi beer it were decreased. A strong correlation was obserbed between antioxidave activities and polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of sweet potato beers. In all lager- and ale-type low-malt beers using 41.6% of Shinjami pastes, sensory attributes very similar to those of 100% malt beer were obtained and they were very good as they had unique red color.

Sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) lam] plant is known to have the relatively tolerance soil moisture deficit compared to other upland crops. However, recently, it has been causing plant growth inhibition and decrease storage quality due to the drought during the growing season of sweetpotato in Korea. The response of root elongation, leaf and shoot growth of sweet potato plantlets, cultivated under different water potential conditions were observed. Six varieties, such as yellow fleshed (Jinhongmi), dark-yellow fleshed (Daeyumi), dark-orange fleshed (Juhwangmi), light-orange fleshed (Dahomi, Pungwonmi), and purple fleshed (Sinjami) were used in this experiment. Using the follow water osmotic potential (WOP) levels were 0 (control), -0.05, -0.1, -0.2, -0.3, -0.4, -0.5 MPa by polyethylene glycol (PEG). In in vitro culture condition, ‘Jinhongmi’ has been inhibited rooting number and number of leaves less than 2, although slightly low WOP of–0.05 and –0.1 MPa, and at –0.2 MPa. shoot was not growing. ‘Daeyumi’, Dahomi, and Juwhangmi’ produced 2 roots as a low WOP of –0.3 MPa. and at –0.2 MPa., it appeared 2 or 3 leaves. ‘Pungwonmi’ produced similar to root number 3.9 at –0.1 MPa compared to control, but root weight decreased 75% at - 0.1 MPa more than control. Root did not grow at – 0.2 MPa for ‘Sinjami’. In nursery bed culture condition, roots fresh weight, number of leaves, and shoot length were inhibited according to the decreases of water osmotic potential. In the case of leaf area, ‘Jinhongmi’ and ‘Daeyumi’ was a significantly difference to 8.4, 22.6 cm3 at –0.2 MPa compared to control, respectively. No difference were obsered for ‘Dahomi’ at -0.1 and –0.2 MPa. ‘Pungwonmi’ was decreased 86% at -0.1 MPa compared to the control. ‘Juhwangmi’ and ‘Sinjami’ was a significantly difference to 15.5, 3.6 cm3 at –0.1 MPa compared to control of 22.9, 16.8 cm3, respectively.

Spodoptera litura (Fabricius, 1775) is considered as a serious agricultural pest, which damaged to the many crops including sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). We investigated weekly occurrence of the Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) using pheromone trap at six study fields of three regions, Jeonnam, Korea. A total of 41,895 individuals were collected from 18th July to 23th September in 2013; Yeongamgun was collected the highest individuals (17,519), and following the Muan-gun (12,709) and Haenamgun (11,667). The seasonal occurrence of S. Litura was increased from July to September, and peak occurrence timing was in late-September. There were a positive correlation between field area and number of individuals (P=0.02, r=0.89), and a negative correlation between field area and density (p=0.02, r=-0.89). As a PCA (principal component analysis) result, adults occurrence pattern were closely related to the temperature and relative humidity during larva stage.

The purpose of this study was to verify the drying characteristics of steamed sweet potato and to establish optimal drying conditions for far-infrared drying of steamed sweet potato. 4 kg of steamed sweet potato was sliced to thicknesses of 8 and 10 mm, and dried by a far-infrared dryer until a final moisture content of 25±0.5%. The far-infrared dryer conditions were an air velocity of 0.6, 0.8 m/s and drying temperature of 60, 70, and 80oC. The results can be summarized as follows. The drying time tended to be reduced as temperature and air velocity for drying increased. The Lewis and Modified Wang and Singh models were found to be suitable for drying of steamed sweet potato by a far-infrared dryer. The color difference was 35.09 on the following conditions: Thickness of 8 mm, temperature of 80oC, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. The highest sugar content (59.11 oBrix) was observed on the conditions of a thickness of 8 mm, temperature of 80, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. Energy consumption decreased on the conditions of higher temperature, slower air velocity, and thinner steamed sweet potato.

The most common method of vegetative propagation of virus free plantlets is the use of shoots meristem culture in solid medium culture. This study was to investigate the effect on liquid medium culture for the growth of virus-free sweetpotato plantlets. Single-nodes derived from meristem culture of sweetpotato was examined in this experiment and three sweetpotato varieties ‘Singeonmi’, ‘Sinhwangmi’, and ‘Sinjami’ was used. The growth of plnatlets was greater in liquid medium culture than that of solid medium culture after longer incubation in 3 varieties. The total fresh weight of 5 week old plantlets after planting in solid culture were 2.17 g (‘Singeonmi’), 2.49 g (‘Sinhwangmi’), and 2.18 g (‘Sinjami’), but the fresh weight in liquid medium culture was 3.87, 3.88, and 3.35 g, respectively. Leaf number of ‘Singeonmi’ and ‘Sinjami’ plantlets after 5 weeks of liquid medium culture was 21.1 and 22.6, respectively and liquid medium culture showed 3 and 6.2 more leaf number than that of solid medium culture. Plant height of ‘Sinhwangmi’ and ‘Sinjami’ plantlets after 3 weeks of liquid medium culture was 4.1 cm and 3.4 cm, respectively, and liquid medium culture showed 1.1 cm longer stem length than solid medium. Overall, liquid medium culture of sweetpotato plantlets was more effective than solid medium in terms of leaf and stem growth.

The effect of transplanting and harvesting dates on growth, yield, and quality of sweetpotato varieties was studied. Three sweetpotato varieties, Yulmi, Singeonmi, and Dahomi, were transplanted on 23 Apr., 21 May, 5 June, 15 June, 25 June, 5 July, 15 July, and 25 July. Fresh vine weight and marketable storage root yield of the three varieties were the highest in transplanting plots on 23 April and 21 May, respectively, and those tended to decrease when transplanting dates were late after May. GDD (Growing Degree Days) and cumulative radiation seemed to be related to marketable storage root yield. Number of marketable storage root per plant, average weight of marketable storage root, and marketable storage root yield were significantly different according to transplanting dates. Marketable storage root yield showed significantly positive correlations with fresh vine weight, number of marketable storage roots, and average weight of marketable storage roots. Hardness and dry matter content of storage root showed significantly positive correlations with starch content and decreased with late transplanting dates in Yulmi and Singeonmi varieties. Pasting temperature showed significantly positive correlations with soluble solid content, dry matter content, and amylose content, but it showed significantly negative correlations with breakdown. Setback was significantly different among varieties, but it was not significantly different in transplanting dates.

Food freezing preservation is an important process due to its high quality and long shelf-life. In order to improve the quality of frozen sweet potato stem, the freezing rate, thawing, and packaging method was optimized by the determination of physical properties. There was no significant difference among the treatment of freezing rate. Further, the drip loss of sweet potato stem was higher at a relatively fast freezing rate (immersion freezing) than at slow freezing rate (natural convection freezing at -20 or -40oC). For the comparison of packaging methods, the aircontaining packaged sweet potato stem had the lowest significant differences from the result of color, pH, and hardness. From the result of the drip loss, the high frequency and microwave using thawing samples were more effective than room temperature and water thawing. Therefore, fast freezing and thawing rate with air-containing package were recommended to obtain the better quality of sweet potato stem.

수확과정에서 버려지고 있는 고구마 잎을 이용한 기능성 식품소재로서 활용가능성을 검토하고자, 밀가루 중량 대비 고구마 잎 분말을 2, 3, 5, 7%의 비율로 첨가하여 식빵을 제조 하고, 반죽 및 제빵 특성, 생리활성 및 기능성분 등을 조사하 였다. 반죽의 수분흡수량은 7% 첨가 시 가장 높았고, 반죽시 간은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 반죽의 저항도는 2~3% 첨가할 때가 가장 안정적이었다. 식빵의 수분 함량은 첨가량이 증가하여도 큰 차이를 보이지 않았고, 식빵의 내부색은 첨가량이 증가할수록 L값과 a값은 감소하였으나, b값은 증가하였다. 식빵의 부피와 비용적 및 굽기 손실률은 첨가량 이 증가할수록 감소하였으나, 항산화 활성과 총 폴리페놀, 루 테인 및 베타카로틴 함량은 증가하였다. 관능평가의 결과, 고 구마 잎 분말의 2~3% 첨가 시 맛과 색깔, 조직감, 입안에서의 씹힘성과 종합적인 기호도에서 가장 우수한 값을 얻었다. 이 상의 결과에서 고구마 잎 분말의 2~3% 첨가 시, 제빵 적성과 기능성, 상품성이 우수한 식빵을 제조할 수 있었다.

Anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids, are natural water-soluble pigments, which are mainly found in vegetables and fruits. Anthocyanins have attractive pharmacological activities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of anthocyanins-rich fraction (ANF) from Korean purple sweet potato variety, "Shinjami", against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. In our results, pre-treatment of HepG2 cells with ANF (10μg/mL) significantly prevented cell death and maintained cell integrity, following exposure to 0.9 mM hydrogen peroxide. The H2O2-dependent production of intracellular ROS was also significantly decreased by pre-treatment with ANF (6 h, 10μg/mL). In addition, ANF increased the mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes, catalase and glutathione level in H2O2-treated HepG2 cells. These results indicated that ANF protected HepG2 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative stress by inducing protective system.

고구마 바이러스 무병묘 재배에 따른 세대 간 수량변 이를 구명하기 위하여, ‘안노베니’, ‘연황미’, ‘맛나미’ 등 3품종의 무병묘 세대(TC0, TC2, TC3) 삽수를 75×25cm 로 정식하여 흑색비닐로 멀칭재배하였다. 정식 30일째 줄기신장은 대조구인 농가묘보다 무병묘 세대에서 유의 한 증가를 보였으며, TC0에서 가장 왕성하였다. 120일째 수확기 생육은 줄기길이, 원줄기 마디수와 곁가지수는 농가묘보다 무병묘 세대에서 높았으나, 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 무병묘 세대의 지상부 생체중이 농가묘보다 유의하게 증가하였으나, 무병묘 세대간 그리고 품종간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 주당괴근수와 평균괴근중은 농가 묘보다 TC0와 TC1 세대에서 유의한 증가를 보였으나, TC2 세대에서는 농가묘와 차이가 없었다. 무병묘 세대의 주당괴근중은 농가묘보다 유의하게 증가하였고, 무병묘 세대간에는 TC0에서 가장 높았다. 무병묘 세대의 평균 상저수량, 상저비율과 소형 고구마(40-200g) 비율도 농가묘보다 유의한 증가를 보였다. 300g 이상 괴근비율은 TC0 세대에서 가장 낮았다. TC2 세대의 상저수량은 TC0 세대보다 유의하게 낮았고, 농가묘와도 유의한 차이가 없었다. 품종간 상저수량은 ‘맛나미’에서 가장 높았으며, ‘안노베니’, ‘연황미’ 순이었다. 따라서 무병주의 수량과 품질 유지를 위해서 농가는 3년 주기로 교체하는 것이 필요하다. 다만 교체주기는 바이러스 재감염 정도에 따 라 2-3년 주기로 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.
