The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of functional compounds in perilla leaves of various genetic resources and their antioxidant activities. A comprehensive analysis of functional compounds was conducted for 90 genetic resources, focusing on total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), individual phenolic content (IPC), and lutein. Their antioxidant activities were then analyzed based on their radical scavenging capacity using ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The TPC content exhibited a range of 13.19 to 35.85 mg gallic acid equivalent/g, whereas the TFC content varied from 11.74 to 46.51 mg catechin equivalent/g. Total IPC was detected in a range of 6,310.98 to 40,491.82 μg/g. Lutein was detected at levels between 70.97 and 597.97 μg/g. ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities of perilla leaves ranged from 30.39 to 58.58 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g and from 7.74 to 46.56 mg TE/g, respectively. Furthermore, correlation analysis demonstrated that rosmarinic acid, a phenolic acid, exhibited a significantly positive correlation with antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that various genetic resource of perilla leaves could effectively mediate antioxidant capacity. Results of this study provide valuable information for use of perilla leaves in Korea as functional food materials.

This study aims to analyze the sensory characteristic of cooked rice made with 10 types of rice varieties produced in South Korea using descriptive analysis. Twelve subjects who cook rice regularly, at least once a week, were recruited for the study and participated as descriptive panelists. A total of 29 descriptive terms were developed to describe the sensory characteristics of cooked rice. The findings showed that there were significant differences in the sensory attributes, specifically the appearance and texture attributes among the rice varieties. Among the varieties, Haedeul, Ilpum, and Koshihikari were observed to have a large quantity of rice germ and a relatively yellowish appearance. In contrast, Samkwang, Chamdream, and Yeonghojinmi were relatively whiter than the other samples. Odae, Saecheongmoo, and Sindongjin were rated high in the attributes of roughness, hardness, and chewiness, and Jinsang was rated high in moisture, bitterness, stickiness, and wholeness of rice grains. The differences in the appearance and texture of these rice varieties are likely to significantly impact consumer preferences. Furthermore, the development of customized menus based on the sensory characteristics of the different varieties of rice could encourage consumers to purchase these varieties.

This study aimed to investigate the changes in bioactive compounds across the ripening stages of three pepper cultivars, each characterized by unique skin colors. The samples used in this study consisted of three pepper cultivars distinguished by their skin colors as green, purple, and yellow green at breaker ripening stage. Samples were harvested at each of the four ripening stages, including premature, breaker, turning, and mature, and subjected to analysis for various bioactive compounds, including capsaicin, ascorbic acid, kaempferol, quercetin, and sugars. In all cultivars with varying skin colors, the capsaicin content within green pepper fruits consistently increased as the ripening stages advanced. Ascorbic acid was most abundant during the premature stage of development in purple and green cultivars, subsequently declining as maturation progressed. In the case of the purple cultivar, kaempferol content decreased by approximately 30% at the mature stage, while the green cultivar exhibited a gradual increase in kaempferol content with maturation. Conversely, the kaempferol content of the yellow green cultivar rapidly declined as maturation progressed. Regarding quercetin content, the purple and green cultivars tended to decrease with maturity, while the yellow green cultivar displayed an increasing trend. Furthermore, the accumulation patterns of glucose, fructose, and sucrose, the predominant free sugars in green pepper fruit, demonstrated an inclination to increase as the maturation stage advanced in both purple and green cultivars. In contrast, the yellow green cultivar initially showed an elevation in free sugar content during the immature stage, followed by a minor reduction during maturation and a subsequent rise during the mature stage. Each pepper cultivar, distinguished by its unique skin color, exhibits varying levels of bioactive substances at different ripening stages. Therefore, optimal harvesting and utilization should align with periods when the desired substance content is at its peak.

강황 분말의 첨가가 마요네즈의 품질특성, 항산화활성 및 산화안정성에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다. 들기름으로 제조된 마요네즈에 강황 분말을 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% 농도로 첨가하여 4°C에서 12주 동안 저장하였으며, 강황 분말 무첨가구와 비교하였다. 강황 분말 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 들기름 마요네즈의 L* (명도) 값은 유의적으로 감소하였고, a* (적색도)는 모든 실험구에서 negative (-)값이었으며, b* (황색도)값은 유의적으로 증가되는 경향이었다(p<0.05). 강황 분말 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 총 페놀 함량 및 항산화 활성이 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 마요네즈를 저장하는 동안 과산화물가는 유의적으로 증가하였으나, 강황 분말 첨가 시료에서는 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 마요네즈의 유화안정성은 저장 초기에 비해 저장 기간이 길어질수록 감소되는 경향이었으나, 0.5%의 강황 분말 첨가구는 무첨가구에 비해 유의적으로 높은 유화안정성을 보였으며, 1%의 강황 분말 첨가구는 무첨가구와 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 점도는 저장 기간이 경과됨에 따라 감소되었으나, 무첨가구에 비해 1% 이상의 강황 분말 첨가구에서 유의적으로 높았다. 들기름 마요네즈에 강황 분말 첨가 시 항산화 활성 증대 및 과산화물의 생성 억제에 효과적이었으며, 특히 0.5~1% 첨가시 마요네즈의 유화안정성 및 점도 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to improve the performance of concrete pavements by decreasing measurement deviations using an Internet of Things (IoT)-based air content measurement device. METHODS : We calculated the properties of concrete which varied according to the air content. For a low measurement deviation, the concrete pavement performed according to the design standard. To confirm the difference in the performance of the concrete pavement for various air contents, we verified the change in the relative dynamic modulus according to the number of freeze–thaw cycles for each value of the air content. In addition, we analyzed the number of durability cracks according to the freeze–thaw cycles in the field. RESULTS : We confirmed that IoT-based measurement equipment improved the performance of pavements without changing their mixing designs or specifications. We confirmed that the performance of concrete pavements changed even with variations in air content within the range of quality standards. Using IoT-based air content management, we confirmed the reduction in concrete pavement durability cracks without changing the mixing design. CONCLUSIONS : We confirmed that IoT-based air-content management improved pavement performance. The feasibility of extending this concept to manage other concrete properties such as the chloride content should be acknowledged. Future research will require laboratory tests to understand the variation in concrete properties with varying air contents and to consider diverse load conditions.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer, and it has been steadily increasing in worldwide. Pituitary tumor transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) has been known as oncogene in a verity of cancers. Nevertheless, the expression and role of PTTG1 in OSCC progression remains largely unexplored. In this study, clinical datasets were analyzed to assess the genetic impact of PTTG1 on OSCC progression and to identify its functional roles in OSCC cell lines. We analyzed the expression of PTTG1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) and OSCC using databases form the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To investigate the effect of PTTG1 on proliferation and migration abilities in OSCC cell lines, following the knockdown of PTTG1 in HSC-2 and SCC-9 cell lines, we analyzed the proliferation and metastatic abilities of OSCC cells using EdU and Boyden chamber assays. Our database analysis revealed that PTTG1 was significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. Moreover, its expression correlated with clinical parameters of OSCC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that depletion of PTTG1 suppressed the ability of cell proliferation and migration in both HSC-2 and SCC-9 cell lines. In conclusion, our study suggests that PTTG1 may act as an oncogene in OSCC. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms and clinical implications of PTTG1 expression in OSCC patients.

본 논문은 아시아에서 돈육 생산과 소비의 강국인 중국, 일본, 한국 3개국의 과거와 현재 돈육 산업을 조사하고 향후 돈육 생산과 소비를 예측하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 중국은 경제 시스템 변화와 가속화된 경제 성장으로 돈육의 생산과 소비에서 높은 순위를 차지할 수 있었고, 양돈 산업은 계속 발전할 것이며, 생산과 소비는 계속 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 일본의 돈육 생산량은 오랫동안 꾸준히 감소해 왔다. 일본은 돈육 수입량이 많아 순위가 높지만 수입량에 비해 소비가 크지 않아 수입량은 점차 줄어들 것으로 예상된다. 한국은 양돈산업의 발달과 대규모 농장 운영의 확대로 돈육 생산이 발달했고, 이를 통해 양돈 생산 분야에서 높은 순위를 차지하고 있다. 돈육의 소비도 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 농업 부문의 경제적 측면에서는 돈육 생산과 소비의 비율이 계속 증가하고 있다. 중국, 일본, 한국의 돈육 생산과 소비는 농업부문뿐만 아니라 세계 경제에도 상당한 영향을 미칠 것이다.
