경상분지 동남부인 부산 기장군에 분포하는 이천리층은 퇴적시기와 층서 대비가 이루어지지 않은 백악기 퇴적 층으로 최근 방산충 화석을 포함하는 쳐트역이 보고되어 기원지에 대한 관심이 높은 지역이다. 이번 연구에서는 이천리 층의 퇴적시기와 기원지를 규명하고, 후기 백악기 경상분지의 고지리에 대한 정보를 얻기 위해 이천리층 사암 내 쇄설 성 저어콘을 이용해 U -Pb 연대를 분석하였다. 이천리층은 선캄브리아시대에서 중생대 백악기에 이르는 넓은 연령 분포 를 보이며, 백악기, 페름기, 고원생대 연령이 우세하다. 약 95 Ma의 최소 가중평균연령을 통해 이천리층의 최대 퇴적시 기는 후기 백악기 초 세노마눔절(Cenomanian)로 제한된다. 외래기원의 방산충 함유 쳐트역과 함께 한반도 내 인접 지역에서는 분포하지 않는 중기 페름기 저어콘의 높은 함량은 이천리층의 퇴적 동안 남서 일본 지역으로부터 퇴적물이 유입되었음을 시사한다. 연대 분포를 비교한 결과, 이천리층의 주된 퇴적물 공급지는 영남육괴와 미노-탐바 쥐라기 복 합체(Mino-Tamba Jurassic accretionary complex)로 해석되며 퇴적물 공급 과정에서 페름기 연령을 가지는 암체 (Maizuru Belt)와의 혼합이 중기 페름기 저어콘의 높은 산출량에 기여한 것으로 판단된다. 다차원척도법 (multidimensional scaling)을 이용한 통계적 유사도 분석 결과도 이와 같은 해석을 뒷받침한다.

산악 지역이 대부분인 한국에서는 많은 깎기비탈면이 사회기반시설 건설사업의 일환으로 조성된다. 경주지역에 서는 초기 깎기비탈면 설계 시 깎기비탈면의 안정성을 평가하기 위해 암종 및 지질구조 파악을 위한 시추 및 지표지질 조사를 실시하였다. 또한, RMR (Rock Mass Rating), SMR (Slope Mass Rating), 입체투영법, 한계평형분석 등을 이용 하여 사면안정성을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 경주지역의 토사층과 풍화암으로 구성된 깎기비탈면은 총길이 110m, 높이는 10-19 m, 경사도는 51/175-155 (경사/경사방향)로 구성되어 있으며, 시추결과에 따라 3개 구역(A, B, C)으로 구분하였다. 구역 A에서 사면에 대한 수많은 불연속성과 준평행 절리가 관찰되어 평면 파괴의 위험이 있는 것 으로 분석되었으며, 이로 인해 불안정하고 풍화가 심한 깎기비탈면에 대한 보강 작업을 하였다. 한계 평형 분석에 따르 면, 세 구역 모두의 깎기비탈면은 건기와 지진 조건에서 모두 불안정한 것으로 분석되었다. 이 분석을 바탕으로 국토교 통부가 정한 사면 안전 계수 기준과 시공성, 경제적 타당성과 같은 현장 특정 조건을 고려하여 깎기비탈면에 대한 마 이크로파일 보강재를 적용하였다. 이 연구는 복합 비탈면의 안정성평가와 적합한 보강 공법 선택에 실무적 방법론을 제 공하며, 유사 지역의 비탈면 설계 및 관리에 기여할 수 있다.

According to previous studies, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) does not appear to regulate TC activity over Korea. By dividing the TC season into two sub-seasons, i.e. summer and autumn, we found the opposite response of TC activity over Korea to ENSO phases between the sub-seasons. In summer, about 1.2 more TCs affect Korea during El Niño than during La Niña, while about 1.2 fewer TCs do so in autumn. The opposite responses to ENSO could reduce the statistical significance of the relationship between ENSO and TC activity over Korea when the entire TC season (July to October) is considered. In summer, the southerly anomaly over the southern sea of the Korean peninsula due to the eastward retreating subtropical high allows a greater number of TCs to approach Korea during El Niño compared to La Niña. On the other hand, in autumn, the northwesterly anomaly due to the westward extension of the subtropical high leads to a smaller number of TC approaches.

This study investigated the physiological activities of a 70% ethanol extract of jicama by measuring its polyphenol and flavonoid contents, as well as its DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, and α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities. The polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were found to be 2.45 GAE/g and 3.98 CE/g, respectively. At a concentration of 5 mg/mL, the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, along with the α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities, were 52.32%, 45.60%, 47.44%, and 36.96%, respectively.

The objective of this study was to categorize consumers' food-related lifestyles into various types and discern the differences in consumer preferences for locally sourced ingredients in Home Meal Replacement (HMR) based on food-related lifestyles. The online survey was conducted from December, 2020, involving 474 adults who registered with Macro Mill Embrain. Statistical analyses, including frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, K-means cluster analysis, and one-way ANOVA were applied to the collected data. The findings revealed the ‘convenience-seeking group,’ the 'high interest in food-related lifestyle group,' and the ‘health and taste-seeking group.’ The ‘convenience-seeking group’ showed a high proportion of respondents (65%) didn’t check the origin, whereas the ’high interest in food-related lifestyle group’ (57.5%) and the ‘health and taste-seeking group’ (66.7) had higher proportions of respondents who checked the origin. Regarding the reasons for preferring locally sourced HMR, all three clusters emphasized safety, hygiene, and fresh ingredients as the most critical factors. This study represented the first exploration into consumer preferences for HMR using locally sourced ingredients, segmented by their food-related lifestyles. The findings provided valuable foundational information for the development of HMR using locally sourced ingredients and could be applied to decisions in the food industry and related policy-making.

Fine dust absorbed into our body through the skin causes various inflammatory responses in skin cells and accelerates skin aging. This study aimed to investigate the potential of Allomyrina dichotoma larvae, approved as edible ingredients, as inhibitor for fine dust-induced inflammaging. The anti-inflammaging effects of aqueous ethanolic Allomyrina dichotoma larvae extract (ADLE) against ERM-CZ100 were evaluated at the cellular level. Biochemical responses associated with cell damage in human dermal fibroblasts were assessed by measuring intracellular ROS, DNA fragmentation, β-galactosidase activity, cytokines, and protein expression. Exposure to ERM-CZ100 increased ROS production, DNA fragments, and β-galactosidase activity, which reduced cell viability. However, these detrimental effects were significantly mitigated by co-treatment with ADLE. The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by ERM-CZ100 was decreased by ADLE treatment, which was further corroborated by a reduction in COX2 protein expression. Additionally, ADLE restored the elevated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 levels and reduced COL1A1 expression caused by ERM-CZ100 exposure. In conclusion, the results of this study suggested that ADLE not only holds nutritional value as a potential future food resource but also exhibits promising properties as a novel material for treating inflammation. Moreover, it demonstrates a positive effect in preventing skin aging caused by environmental pollution.

To inhibit peroxidation of refrigerated eel, ethanol extracts of ginger and turmeric (30° Soju) were employed as a pre-treatment. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities of ginger and turmeric extracts were observed to be significantly higher than that of 5 mM vitamin C (p<0.05). Following the application of ginger or turmeric extracts for a period of 21 days, a reduction in the acid, peroxide, carbonyl, and TBA values was noted in comparison to the untreated samples. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed between the samples containing 5 mM vitamin C and those with ginger or turmeric extract in the peroxide value and TBA measurements. With regard to the carbonyl value, the treatment involving ginger or turmeric extract demonstrated a more pronounced antioxidant effect than the treatment with 5 mM vitamin C (p<0.05). Furthermore, the application of ginger or turmeric extracts resulted in a delay in the peroxidation induction period of linoleic acid and eel oil, thereby inhibiting peroxidation. The antioxidant effects observed were comparable to those of 10 mM vitamin C. In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that pre-treatment of eels with ginger or turmeric ethanol (30° Soju) extracts effectively inhibits peroxidation during refrigerated storage.

This study was conducted in September 2023 to establish proper eating habits and enhance the nutritional knowledge of elementary school students in Daegu during a nutrition camp hosted by the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education. A total of thirty boys and twenty-three girls participated, with an average age of 11.2 years. The breakfast skipping rate was 11.3%, while 84.9% reported eating out once or twice a week, and 86.8% indicated they consumed delivery food once or twice a week. Regarding snacks, 47.5% of students reported eating snacks twice a day, and 73.6% identified as picky eaters. Furthermore, 66% of the participating students had no prior experience with nutrition education or consulting nutritionists. The students' nutritional knowledge score before the start of the nutrition camp was 14.4 out of 20, and after the end of the nutrition camp, it statistically increased significantly to 16.4 points (p<0.001). The level of nutritional knowledge of students who participated in the nutrition camp improved significantly compared to before the start of the nutrition camp, and this result shows that various activity programs including nutrition education and nutrition counseling can be effective.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of rose pasta sauce added with plant-based meat substitutes and plant-based ingredients. The rose pasta sauces were prepared by varying the proportions of tomato sauce and soy milk-based mayonnaise. As the proportion of soy milk mayonnaise increased and the proportion of tomato sauce decreased, the pH increased and the total acidity decreased. The total polyphenol content of rose pasta sauce ranged from 122.59 to 168.09 mg/100 mL, with higher values found in pasta sauces containing soy milk mayonnaise, particularly in the B treatment (70% tomato sauce, 30% soy milk mayonnaise) and tannin content was also highest in the B treatment (117.61 mg%). ABTS radical scavenging activity ranged from 34.90% to 40.62%, with significantly higher values observed in A, B, and C. DPPH radical scavenging activity ranged from 63.42% to 84.46%, with the highest activity found in the A treatment, followed by the B treatment. These results suggest that the development of rose pasta sauces with plant-based ingredients and meat substitutes can offer diverse applications and potential in the food industry.

본 연구에서는 열유도상분리법으로 제조한 polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) 중공사막의 오염성과 화학적 세척에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 오염수는 소 혈청 단백질(bovine serum albumin, BSA)과 카올린(kaolin)을 이용해 제조하였으며, 차아 염소산나트륨(NaOCl), 구연산(citric acid), 황산(H2SO4)으로 화학적 세척을 진행한 후 뒤 표면 전하 분석기, 주사전자현미경 (scanning electron microscope, SEM) 그리고 에너지 분산 X선 분광법(energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EDX)을 통해 세 척 효율을 평가하였다.

The leaves and stalks of sweet potato have attracted considerable interest as a health food due to numerous studies reporting the presence of functional compounds and various physiological activities. This study analyzed the functional components in the aerial parts of six domestically developed sweet potato cultivars and compared their antioxidant activities. The total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and total phenolic acid content ranged from 76.9 to 148.6 mg GAE/g, 3.98 to 11.90 mg CE/g, and 44.19 to 93.56 mg/100 g, respectively. Among the cultivars examined, 'Gogeonmi' and 'Tongchaeru' exhibited high levels of these compounds, and their DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were superior to those of the other cultivars. The GABA content ranged from 0.59 to 2.55 mg/g, with 'Tongchaeru' and 'Jinhongmi' showing the highest levels. Lutein content ranged from 0.10 to 0.24 mg/g, with 'Tongchaeru' reaching its maximum concentration 90 days post-cultivation. Extracts from 'Tongchaeru' significantly inhibited the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) inflammatory cytokines, with the water extract demonstrating a stronger effect than the pretanol extract. These findings suggest that the aerial parts of sweet potato could serve as excellent functional vegetables and bioactive ingredients for health food applications.

The world population is rapidly increasing; over the past 40 years, it has risen by 3.3 billion, reaching 7.8 billion people. Globally, Solanaceae plants contribute more than 6.5 million tons of food to the world’s diet, with potatoes being the fourth most produced crop, cultivated in over 300 countries. However, caution is necessary when consuming plants from the Solanaceae family, as they contain toxic substances known as alkaloids. While alkaloids can offer beneficial effects, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and anti-cancer properties, tolerance to these compounds varies among individuals, meaning even very small amounts can have fatal effects.Among the major crops in the Solanaceae family, potatoes contain solanine and chaconine; tomatoes contain tomatine; and eggplants contain solasonine and solamargine. The concentration of these substances varies depending on the part of the plant, its developmental stage, and its variety. Additionally, levels can increase significantly due to environmental stress. The environment profoundly impacts the synthesis of secondary metabolites related to survival and defense. Research has confirmed that environmental conditions-such as high-temperature cultivation, low-temperature storage, drought and rainfall, strong light, weak light (shade conditions), and excessive fertilizer application-can increase alkaloid synthesis. Therefore, this study reviews research on alkaloids in Solanaceae crops.

Pepper is one of the most important vegetables in South Korea. It is a key ingredient in kimchi, the nation’s staple dish, and serves as the primary raw material for producing gochujang, a commonly used condiment in Korean cooking. As a result, numerous pepper varieties have been developed, including those that yield more fruit or have milder pungency. However, farmers who grow peppers tend to prefer varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases. Bacterial wilt (BW) is one of the most devastating diseases affecting peppers and is transmitted through the soil. To breed pepper varieties resistant to bacterial wilt using molecular breeding techniques, it is essential to first identify the Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) that confers resistance to this disease. This requires conducting locus analysis with resistant cultivars. In this study, an F2 population was developed by selfing F1 hybrids, which were obtained by crossing a resistant cultivar with a susceptible cultivar, to identify QTLs associated with bacterial wilt resistance. Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) analysis will be performed using the F2 population, and the results will be utilized for QTL mapping.

This experimental study aimed to determine the anti-obesity effects of burdock(Arctium lapp L.) extract and processed (Beopje) burdock extract in a high fat diet-induced obesity model. When burdock extract was orally administered at a concentration of 250 mg/kg BW and the Beopje burdock extract was administered at 250 and 500 mg/kg BW, they significantly decreased body weights increased by a high-fat diet, improved food efficiency ratio, decreased adipose tissue weight by site, and significantly decreased blood triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol levels. Blood ALT and AST contents as liver function-related indices increased by the high fat diet were significantly decreased by the Beopje burdock extract. Results of histological analysis of the liver showed that the Beopje burdock extract alleviated fatty liver phenomenon induced by a high-fat diet. In addition, levels of blood TNF-α, IL-6, and IL1-β increased by a high-fat diet were significantly decreased by ALB-L and ALB-H. Therefore, Beopje burdock extract can improve obesity in a high-fat diet-induced obese animal model by improving blood lipids and blood biochemical indices, increasing body water, and decreasing body fat more than the burdock extract.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a significant cereal crop from the Gramineae family, serves as a vital source of protein, essential minerals, B-group vitamins, and dietary fiber. However, its productivity is often hindered by issues such as poor seed germination, which can adversely affect yield and crop quality. This study investigated the effects of different silicon concentrations and priming durations on wheat germination and seedling growth. Analysis of variance revealed that silicon treatment significantly influenced key parameters of germination and growth, including germination percentage (GP), germination index (GI), vigor index (VI), radicle length (RL), plumule length (PL), and seedling dry weight (SDW). Priming with silicon at a concentration of 1 mM resulted in notable improvements, increasing GP, GI, VI, RL, and PL by 10.6%, 65.5%, 29.4%, 18.6%, and 28.6%, respectively, after 6 hours of priming. Certain germination traits demonstrated strong positive correlations, particularly GP and GI (r = 0.96) and VI and RL (r = 0.94), after 4 hours of priming. These improvements in seed germination and seedling development may result from enhanced water uptake, stimulated cell division, and increased hydrolytic enzyme activity, which facilitate the mobilization of seed reserves and accelerate the growth of embryonic tissues.
