웅취는 돼지고기의 이취로서 소비자의 소비성에 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 웅취는 거세를 하지 않은 수퇘지의 지방조직에 안드로스테 논, 스카톨 및 인돌과 같은 호르몬의 축적으로 인한 것이다. 본 연구는 웅취에 영향을 미치는 호르몬과 성장 및 번식 형질간의 유전상관도 를 추정하고 동물복지측면에서 웅취 호르몬이 낮은 수퇘지를 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구를 위하여 3개 품종, Duroc, Landrace, Yorskhire 517두를 공시돈으로 수행하였다. 웅취 호르몬 분석을 위한 샘플채취는 수퇘지의 목부위 지방을 바이옵시 방식으로 채취하여 각 품종별 안드로스테논, 스카톨 및 인돌을 분석하였다. 안드로스테논 분석 결과, Duroc 품종이 1.684 ug/g으로 가장 높았고, 타 품종은 0.875-0.920 ug/g으로 상대적으로 낮았다. 스카톨의 농도는 Yorskhire가 0.095 ug/g으로 가장 높았고 인돌은 Duroc이 0.058 ug/g으로 가장 높았다. 품종과 개체에 따라서 3종류 웅취 호르몬의 농도 차이는 매우 컸다. 안드로스테논, 스카톨 및 인돌의 유전력은 0.40, 0.17 및 0.01으로, 안드로스테논의 유전력이 가장 높았다. 웅취 호르몬 농도와 다른 경제 형질(성장 및 번식 형질) 사이의 유전적 상관관계를 조사하였으나, 웅취 농도와의 상관관계는 매우 낮았다. 웅취 호르몬의 농도가 유전력도 높고 개체별 차이가 크고 다른 경제 형질과의 유전적 상관도가 낮기 때문에, 육종을 통한 저 웅취 부계 종돈 작출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, antimicrobial effects, growth inhibition and cytotoxicity of herb extracts were determined to screen alternative antibiotics. Hot water extracts of 10 species herbs (Origanum vulgare, Monarda didyma, Echinacea purpurea, Ocimum basilicum, Mentha piperita, Melissa officinalis, Thymus vulgaris, Stevia rebaudiana, Rosmarinus officinalis, Matricaria recutica) were used. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of all herb extracts was ranged from 31.4-49.9%, and significantly great activties were found at Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum vulgare and Matricaria recutica (P<0.05). Hot water extracts of monarda didyma, origanum vulgare, thymus vulgaris and rosmarinus officinalis showed greater antimicrobial activities compared to others. Additionally, those four extracts represented relatively low cytotoxicity compared to others. As a result, it was found that Origanum vulgare and Rosmarinus officinalis which possessed great antioxidant and antimicrobial activity with less cytotoxicity. So these two herb extracts can be used as an alternative of antibiotics for organic farming.

In this study, the chemical properties and phenolic compound of blueberry, bokbunja and mulberry and their pomace were determined to develop them as functional food materials. Water content of individual whole berry was ranged from 84.25-86.20%, and water content was significantly high in whole berries rather than their pomace (p<0.01). Additionally, each berry and its pomace’s pH was 3.32-5.18. Among them, whole mulberry showed the highest pH which is 5.18 (p<0.01). Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were the greatest in blueberry pomace and they were 24.81 mg/g and 2.13 mg/g, respectively (p<0.01). However, mulberry pomace generated the greatest anthocyanin content compared to others (p <0.01). In phenolic compound profiles, cyanin chloride was detected in mulberry and bokbunja. Epigallocatechin, gallocatechin and isorhamnetin were found only in blueberry. Catechin (hydrate) and epicatechin were greater in pomaces than whole berries except blueberry (p<0.01), otherwise, significantly great rutin (trihydrate) and quercetin contents were found in whole berries as compared to their pomace except blueberry (p<0.01). Gallic acid was significantly greatest in mulberry (p< 0.01) and quercetin 3-D-galactoside was significantly greatest in blueberry (p< 0.01). Apigenin and luteolin were traced in mulberry, and mulberry pomace showed greater apigenin and luteolin contents than whole mulberry (p<0.01). Naringenin was greater in pomaces than whole berries (p <0.01). As a result, it was found that all berry extracts used in this study were able to be applied as
