김치의 숙성과정 중 일어날 수 있는 식품위생상 이물질의 오염방지를 위하여 혼입시험을 고안하여 이를 모니터링 하였다. 먼저, 시험군은 소금으로 절이고 양념으로 버무린 김치였고, 대조구는 소금에 절이지 않았거나 양념을 하지 않은 배추를 선택하였다. 오염원으로는 배추와 색깔이 유사한 청개구리를 선택하였다. 그 결과, 염분이 첨가되지 않은 대조구에서는 오염원이 10일 이상 생존하였으나 염분이 첨가된 시험구의 이물질은 5일 이상 생존할 수 없었다. 김치제조 중에 혼입된 생물학적 이물질은 대개 5일정도 생존하므로 소비자에 의하여 살아있는 상태로 발견된 사실은 제조 후에 혼입되었다고 추정할 수 있다.

A fiber fraction (Aloe cellulose), the by-product obtained from Aloe vera gel processing was freeze dried and investigated for in vitro glucose/ bile acid retarding effects of powdered sample (100 mesh) comparing with commercial α-cellulose as a reference sample. We also examined the effectiveness of physiological functionality such as the antiobesity and anti-constipation on Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat. The Aloe cellulose powders during in vitro dialysis experiment for 2 hours exhibited the glucose and bile acid retarding index of 20.32-35.2% and 53.13-28.30%, respectively. Especially, freeze dried aloe cellulose showed the 2.5 and 1.2-6 times higher effect on in vitro glucose and bile acid retardation than those of α-cellulose. These relatively good retarding effects on glucose and bile acid diffusion suggest a potential of preventing from diabetes and arteriosclerosis of some extent. Also, the results from animal experiments on SD rats fed a high-fat diet for 4 weeks suggested that Aloe cellulose might be used as a novel dietary fiber showing an effective anti-obesity and anti-constipation effect.

The several enzymes reaction which involve the quality change of fresh vegetables, such as chlorophylase, polyphenol oxidase, lypoxygenase, C-S-lyase, myrosinase and enzymes related lignification were reviewed. Numerous enzyme reaction continuously proceeds to the deterioration of vegetables after harvest due to the respiration and biochemical metabolism reaction, especially in case of physical injuring. It is extremely important to inhibit and to control these enzyme reaction in order to maintain the organoleptic and nutritional quality of fresh vegetables.

Inflammation in the brain has known to be associated with the development of a various neurologiacal diseases. The hallmark of neuro-inflammation is the activation of microglia, brain macrophage. Pro-inflammatory compounds including nitric oxide(NO) are the main cause of neuro-degenerative disease such as Alzheimer"s disease. In the study, we examined whether Harmonia axyridis extracts inhibit the NO production by a direct method using Griess reagent, western blotting and by RT-PCR(Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reactionin) the gene expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS). Distilled water(H₂O) and methanol(MeOH) extracts of H. axyridis inhibited the protein expression of TNF-α(Tumor Necrosis Factor) and IL-6(Interleukin) in LPS (Lipo-polysaccharide) stimulated BV -2 cells at the concentration of 100 ng/㎖. Incubation of BV-2 cells with the extracts of H₂O of MeOH inhibited the LPS induced NO and iNOS protein. And this inhibition of iNOS protein is concordant with the inhibition of iNOS mRNA expression. These data suggested that H. axyridis extracts may play a crucial role in inhibiting the NO production.

It often happens that after someone purchases a specific part in one parcel of land, a shared equity registration is made according to the area ratio of the specific part in the whole land, and this legal relation is called co-ownership of divided ownership. This is substantially sole ownership of the relevant party on the inside and takes the form of “co-ownership registration” on the outside, but Korean precedents solve this problem by the so-called co-title trust principle by citing the legal principle of title trust. Therefore, in the relation of co-ownership of divided ownership, each co-owner can dispose of his or her specific division part independently and freely transfer the corresponding shared equity registration. However, if a land is divided into independent parcels by specific division parts owned separately, our precedents consider that the shared equity registration of the co-owner name transferred to each remaining parcel other than the parcel corresponding to each specific division part can no longer be regarded as a registration to represent a parcel corresponding to a particular division part of the co-owner, and only the co-title trust relation between the co-owners will survive. Thus, each co-owner is in the position of a person keeping the shared equity in relation to the other co-owners with respect to the shared equity of his or her name transferred over each remaining parcel, and if he or she disposes of it, an embezzlement is established. But it is doubtful whether a shared equity can be regarded as a property of embezzlement in the “person who keeps other’s property” among constitutional elements of embezzlement. Shared equity, which is a quantitative part held by a co-owner, is an idea that can govern things, and it is problematic to regard it as a property. Therefore, even though Korean precedents acknowledge embezzlement in this case, it is reasonable to regard it as a breach of trust rather than embezzlement.

This study was performed to investigate the correlation between anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in ripe and unripe fruits of three peach cultivars: Miwhang (MH), Kanoiwa hakuto (KH) and Cheonhong (CH). The unripe fruits had higher levels of total phenols and flavonoids contents than those in the ripe fruits of all the three cultivars. The unripe fruits of CH showed the highest levels of total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activities among the fruit samples analyzed. Nitric oxide inhibition values in RAW 264.7 cells for the unripe fruits of MH and KH were 30 and 29%, respectively. However, the inhibition was not observed in unripe CH and the ripe fruits of either cultivar. Total phenols and flavonoids contents showed high linear correlations with the anti-oxidant activities whereas the anti-inflammatory activity had low linear correlations with them.

This study was done in order to investigate the bioconversion of ginsenoside, as well as the quality characteristics of fermented ginseng, by using lactic acid bacteria. Quality characteristics such as the thin layer chromatography(TLC) pattern, ginsenosides, total phenolic content, electron donating ability, and total sugar of fermenting ginseng and red ginseng were analyzed. The ginsenoside Rg2r, Rh2s and Rh2r of the fermented ginseng and red ginseng for 65 hours at a temperature of 37℃ were not detected. The ginsenoside Rg1 and Re contents have decreased, while the Rh1, Rg2s, Rd, Rg3r, and Rg3s have increased due to fermentation. The ginsenoside Rg3 of the fermented red ginseng has increased and the contents were 114.83∼131.68 μg/mL (control 104.56 μg/mL). The total phenolic content and electron donating ability of the red ginseng have totally decreased after 7 days of fermentation. The total phenolic contents of the fermented ginseng and red ginseng with different lactic acid bacteria did not show any tendency as different strains. The electron donating ability of the fermented ginseng has increased; however, the electron donating ability of the red ginseng has decreased. The total sugars of the fermented ginseng and red ginseng with different lactic acid bacteria have also decreased.

This study was conducted to investigate the change in quality attributes of fresh-cut potatoes with heat and browning inhibitor treatment (CW: dip in the cold water for 30 sec at 4℃, HW: dip in the water for 60 sec at 55℃, AA: dip in the 0.1% solution of ascorbic acid for 60 sec at 4℃, HA: dip in the 0.1% solution of ascorbic acid for 60 sec at 55℃) during storage at 5℃. During storage, fresh-cut potatoes treated with HA showed the lowest value in surface color. PPO and PAL activities of fresh-cut potatoes treated with HA were gradually increased during storage. Hardness, weight loss, soluble solids content and moisture content had no significant difference between the treatments. In sensory acceptance, fresh-cut potatoes treated for HA marked the best quality. Conclusively, heat and browning inhibitor treatment showed the positive effect on browning inhibition while maintaining the quality of fresh-cut potatoes.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mortality rate, weight gain, and protein, lipid cholesterol, and total amino acid contents in processed-sulfur-diet chicken meat. Also investigated were the antioxidant activity and glutathione content of blood plasma. The mortality of the processed-sulfur-diet chickens was relatively reduced, and their weight increased compared to the normal-diet chickens. Although the glutathione content decreased in the processed-sulfur-diet chicken blood plasma, the antioxidant activity increased compared with the normal-diet chickens. Also, there was no difference in the total cholesterol contents of the blood, but the level of HDL cholesterol increased while that of LDL cholesterol decreased. Furthermore, there were no changes in the total amino acid and protein contents, but the fat content was significantly reduced. As no toxicity was found in the DT 40 cells in the MTT assay, it can be concluded that dietary sulfur in chicken feed can improve the quality of poultry products.

The antioxidant activity and whitening effect of the distilled water (DW) and ethanol extracts of the Prunus persica flower and calyx were studied. In the oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) assay for antioxidant activity measurement, it was confirmed that the flower extract was stronger than the calyx extract, and that the ethanol extract was relatively stronger than the DW extract. To define the whitening effect, an experiment was conducted involving tyrosinase inhibitory assay and measurement of the melanin content of B16F10. As a result of the use of tyrosinase, the DW extract of calyx showed 53% inhibition as the highest activity. The melanin content inhibitory rates were defined as 57% for the ethanol flower extract and 63% of the ethanol calyx extract, based on a 10 μg/mL concentration. Based on these results, mixture with the whitening effect in the extract of P. persica and another compounds should be researched for development as a cosmetic ingredient.

In this study, we isolated microorganisms from dried persimmon in Sangju and obtained 15 strains of microorganisms as the basic research to prevent the quality changes during drying and storage of dried persimmon. Contaminated microorganisms were separated using seven species of medium. Viable cell counts of dried persimmon from Sangju was 5.18×102∼1.68×107 CFU/g. Green mold K2-1 accounted for the highest percentage in the contaminated dried persimmons and identified as a major causative microorganism. Light violet and creamy yeasts were the second largest contaminated microorganisms. Green mold K2-1 strain was identified as Penicillium sp. and fungus K-1 and K-3 were identified as Caldosporium sp. and Aspergillus sp.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-atopic-dermatitis effect of Angelica keiskei extract using a DNFB-induced animal model of atopic-dermatitis symptoms. A. keiskei was prepared via extraction with DW, 50% ethanol, and 100% ethanol in addition to fresh juice. All the extracts reduced the thickness levels of the ears and ear epidermis against swelling by DNFB inducement, especially in the aqueous-extract-treated group. The mRNA expressions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), however, were not observed, which may indicate that Angelica keiskei extract alleviates the atopic-dermatitis symptoms in an MMP-independent manner. Finally, the level of the inflammatory cytokine IL-4 was inhibited only in the juice-treated group, although the IL-13 level was inhibited in the juice-, 50%-ethanol-extract-, and 100%-ethanol-extract-treated groups in a dose-dependent manner, and was not inhibited in the aqueous-extract-treated group. Taken together, these results suggest that Angelica keiskei extract has an inhibitory effect on atopic dermatitis, and may be a useful biomaterial for the development of cosmeceuticals.

To investigate the anti-diabetic activity of ethanol and aqueous peel and seed extracts obtained from three different grape species (Cambell Early, MBA, and Kyoho), alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity was examined. All extracts showed anti-diabetic activity, especially aqueous extract exhibited inhibitory effect above 70%. Thus, we used aqueous extract to check the potential hypoglycemic effects in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice model. The results showed that the blood glucose level of STZ-induced diabetic mice decreased drastically after 3 hr when the aqueous extract of Cambell Early seed was treated to the mice model. The aqueous extract of Kyoho seed lessened blood glucose level by 60%. Together, these data indicate that extracts of grape peel and seed (aqueous or ethanol) may have potential in improving hypoglycemic effects in the diabetic symptoms, suggesting that further investigation on biomarker expressions should be rewarding.

In order to compare what kinds of transcription factors are associated with the inhibition of preadipocyte cell proliferation, we prepared several grape extracts and tested the expression patterns by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. As a result, 50% ethanol extract of Campbell early seed inhibited adipogenesis derived from the MDI solution. Extract of Campbell early seed was significantly inhibited lipid droplet formation and expression of molecular factors C/EBP-alpha and delta in 3T3-L1 cells. It is suggested that grape extracts of fractions would be a good candidate for the development of regional skin fat modulator.
