축산물 중 잔류허용기준이 설정되어 관리하고 있는 농약 azocyclotin, cyhexatin, fenbutatin oxide는 대표적인 유 기주석계 살비제이다. 기존 시험법은 가스크로마토그래피 를 사용하여 정량한계가 높고 분석 시 재현성이 떨어져 이에 대한 개선이 필요한 실정으로 본 연구에서는 비교적 간편하며 시간이 적게 소요되는 QuEChERS법을 활용하여 azocyclotin, cyhexatin, fenbutatin oxide의 시험법을 마련하 고자 하였다. 1% 아세트산을 함유한 아세트산에틸:아세토 니트릴(1:1) 혼합액을 이용하여 진탕 추출 후 d-SPE로 정 제하고 이를 농축 후 LC-MS/MS를 이용한 시험법을 개발 하였다. Azocyclotin, cyhexatin 및 fenbutatin oxide의 결정 계수(R2)는 0.99 이상으로 높은 직선성을 확인하였으며 정 량한계는 0.01 mg/kg으로 높은 감도를 나타내었다. 대표 축산물 5종(소, 돼지, 닭, 계란, 우유)에서 LOQ(0.01 mg/ kg), MRL(0.05 mg/kg), MRL 10배(0.5 mg/kg)의 농도에서 회수율 실험을 한 결과 평균 회수율이 76.4-115.3% 및 84.4-110.8%이었으며, 상대표준편차는 25.3% 이하로 나타 났다. 본 연구는 Codex 가이드라인(CAC/GL 40-1993, 2003) 및 ‘식품의약품안전처 식품의약품안전평가원의 식 품등 시험법 마련 표준절차에 관한 가이드라인(2016)’에 적합한 수준임을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 확립한 시험법은 축산물 중 잔류할 수 있는 azocyclotin, cyhexatin, fenbutatin oxide의 안전관리를 위한 공정시험법으로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The research aims to develop a rapid and easy analytical method for methoprene using liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A simple, highly sensitive, and specific analytical method for the determination of methoprene in livestock products (beef, pork, chicken, milk, eggs, and fat) was developed. Methoprene was effectively extracted with 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile and acetone (1:1), followed by the addition of anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and anhydrous sodium acetate. Subsequently, the lipids in the livestock sample were extracted by freezing them at -20oC. The extracts were cleaned using MgSO4, primary secondary amine (PSA), and octadecyl (C18), which were then centrifuged to separate the supernatant. Nitrogen gas was used to evaporate the supernatant, which was then dissolved in methanol. The matrix-matched calibration curves were constructed using 8 levels (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150 ng/mL) and the coefficient of determination (R2) was above 0.9964. Average recoveries spiked at three levels (0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/kg), and ranged from 79.5-105.1%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) smaller than 14.2%, as required by the Codex guideline (CODEX CAC/GL 40). This study could be useful for residue safety management in livestock products.

Fluoroimide는 감과 감자의 둥근무늬낙엽병과 역병을 억제하는데 효과가있는 살진균제로서, 이전 사용되었던 fluoroimide의 시험법은 전처리시 발암물질인 benzene을 사 용하는 문제가 있었으며, 복잡한 시험법으로 인해 시간이 오래걸리고 효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있었다. 또한, fluoroimide 의 특성상 산성에서 안정한 편이므로 전처리 시 이를 고려해야 하는 문제가 있었으며, PLS시행에 따라 기존의 정량한계인 0.05 mg/kg보다 낮은 정량한계 요구로 인해 fluoroimide에 대한 새로운 전처리방법이 필요하였다. Fluoroimide가 산성에서 안정한 특성을 고려하여, 추출 시 4N의 염산을 사용하였고 용매는 acetic acid가 포함된 acetonitrile을 사용하였으며, MgSO4와 NaCl을 통해 추출하였다. 정제는 C18 (Octadecylsilane)과 GCB (graphitized carbon black)를 첨가하여 정제하였으며, 기기분석은 LCMS/ MS로 분석하였다. 대표농산물 5종(현미, 감자, 대두, 감귤, 고추)을 대상으로 정량한계(0.01 mg/kg), 정량한계 10배(0.1 mg/kg), 정량한계 50배(0.5 mg/kg)의 수준으로 회수율 실험을 5반복 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 농산물 5종에 서 85.7-106.9%의 회수율을 확인하였으며, 분석오차는 15.6% 이하의 결과를 보여, 국제식품 규격위원회 가이드 라인의 잔류농약 분석 기준 및 ‘식품등 시험법 마련 표준 절차에 관한 가이드라인(2016)’에 부합하였다. 상기의 결과를 통해 개선한 fluoroimide의 시험법은 benzene을 대체 해 실험자의 안전성을 확보하였고, QuEChERS법을 적용하여 효율을 높여, 안전관리에 대한 공정시험법으로서 활용가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate microbiological contamination of knives and cutting boards in child-care centers. Materials used in this study were swabbed of cutting boards and knives (blade, handle of knife, and joint of handle and blade) in 129 child-care centers. Mean values of total aerobic bacteria of swabs of knives and cutting boards were 1.7±0.7 log cfu/100 cm2 and 1.7±0.9 log cfu/100 cm2, respectively. Contamination levels of coliform bacteria from knives and cutting boards were 1.5±0.6 log cfu/100 cm2 and 1.7±0.8 log cfu/100 cm2, respectively. Comparing microbiological contamination levels of knives and cutting boards according to type and size of child-care centers, there was no significant difference. Bacillus cereus was detected in knife handles and cutting boards. Diarrhea-type toxin gene (entFM) was detected in B. cereus isolates. Antibiotic resistance tests showed that B. cereus was resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. To reduce microbiological contamination levels of knives and cutting boards in child-care centers and prevent food poisoning from bacteria contamination, continuous education by children's food-service management center is needed for sterilization and disinfection of knives and cutting boards.

본 연구에서는 민어과 수산물의 표준시료 DNA 염기서열을 분석한 후 DNA barcode 염기서열을 확정하고 검증한 후 시중 유통 중인 민어과 수산가공식품의 위변조 현황을 조사하였다. 표준시료의 미토콘드리아 cytochrome coxidase subunit I유전자를 증폭한 후 증폭된 PCR 산물의 염기서열을 분석하였다. 분석결과 종 판별에 특이적인 655 bp를 선정하여 DNA barcode 염기서열로 하였다. DNA barcode information과 primer set을 이용한 진위판별 정확성을 확인한 결과 PCR 증폭은 모두 확인되었다. NCBI에 등록된 각각 어류의 유전자 염기서열과 비교하였을 때 참조기 100%, 부세 100%, 보구치 100%, 민어 100%의 상동성을 나타내어 실험에 사용된 DNA barcode information 과 primer set의 정확성을 확인하였다. DNA barcode 시험 법을 이용해 시중 유통되는 민어과 수산가공품 32건에 대 해 조사한 결과 위변조 사례는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 식품공전에 등재된 보구치 대신 백조기라는 일반명이 사용되고 있어 소비자에게 혼란을 야기하고 있었다. 따라서 수산가공품 원재료 표시에 일반명과 더불어 표준명 또는 학명을 표시하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis worldwide, which is caused by Brucella spp. In humans, it can be mainly occurred by direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated dairy products. This study focused on human brucellosis caused by B. melitensis discovered from Chinese worker in Korea in 2015. We investigated molecular epidemiological evidence to find the infection source. We first performed several PCR methods including 16S rRNA PCR, multiplex PCR and real-time PCR to identify Brucella species. We also conducted MLVA typing for epidemiological trace-back analysis. The isolate from the patient was confirmed to B. melitensis through Brucella-specific PCR. In clustering analysis with B. melitensis from foreign countries, this human isolate was correlated with B. melitensis isolates from humans and sheep in China by 99.9% similarity. Thus, we assumed the brucellosis patient has been already infected in China followed by migration to Korea according to molecular epidemiological analysis with history evidence. Moreover, we suggest it needs to take measures to reduce the risk for intercountry transmission of brucellosis due to the influx of infected people from abroad.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of the pre-treatment method on the measurement of probiotic cell counts. The probiotic cell count was not significantly different in the pre-treatment method such as experimenters, diluted solution, medium, and homogenization duration. The mean value of probiotic cell count with capsule was 2.2×1010±9.5×109 CFU/g. This probiotic cell count was converted into 2.8×1010±1.2×1010 CFU/g based on the net weight. The mean value of probiotic cell count without capsules was 4.3×1010±1.8×1010 CFU/g. As a result of this comparison, probiotic cell count showed significant difference with and without capsules. Thus, it is suggested that the probiotic cell count is measured by removing the capsule in capsule probiotics.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality-based characteristics of Prunus mume fruit syrup, which is manufactured with various sugared sweeteners for suggestion of suitable alternative sweetener. Sweetener such as sucrose (MHP1), crystalline fructose (MHP2) and liquid fructo-oligosaccharide (MHP3) are used to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup. The sugar content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 showed 53, 54 and 36° Brix, respectively. The total organic acid content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 was 2.22, 3.07 and 3.71%. The total free sugar content of MHP1, MHP2 and MHP3 was 54.39, 47.52% and 31.62%, respectively. The appearance of MHP1 and MHP2 remained unchanged for the entire period but MHP3 had molded since the first week. This was as a result of the low total free sugar content in MHP3 sugared with liquid fructo-oligosaccharide compared to MHP1 and MHP2 sugared with solid sucrose and fructose. The sensory characteristics of MHP2 manufactured with crystalline fructose indicated an above average quality, indicating that it is difficult to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup using liquid sugar. It is suggested that crystalline fructose characterized solid form and lower glycemic index than sucrose be useful to manufacture Prunus mume fruit syrup as alternative sweetener.

본 연구는 고품질 땅콩나물 생산을 위해서 세근발생을 억제시키는 생장조절제의 처리 효과를 검정하기 위해 수행되었다. 땅콩나물의 세근발생억제제인 참시루와 6BA를 ‘조평’과 ‘베트남’땅콩에 처리하면 세근발생억제제의 처리농도가 높을수록 세근 발생수는 감소하였다. 그 효과는 6BA가 참시루보다 우수하였고, ‘베트남’ 땅콩보다는 ‘조평’에서 세근발생억제 효과가 명확하였다. 참시루 및 6BA의 배양용액을 1일간 간격으로 교체하면 배양용액을 교체하지 않는 처리구에 비해 부패균 활동을 억제 시켜 하배축 생장을 촉진시킨 반면 세근발생은 억제시켜 고품질 땅콩나물 생산이 가능하였다. 땅콩나물 재배의 배양용액에 GA3와 참시루를 혼용하여 처리하면 땅콩나물의 생육을 향상시켰고, 적정 처리조건은 GA3 50mg·L-1 + Chamsiru 8.40mg·L-1 처리였다.

땅콩나물의 재배에 적합한 온도와 품종, 그리고 최적 레스베라트롤 생산을 위한 생육단계를 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 땅콩나물용 적정품종을 선발하고자 8 가지 국내외 육성품종의 외형적 특징, 발아율, 발아세, 유묘활력을 조사하였다. 그 결과 소비자의 요구를 반영 하여 세근 발생량이 낮고 하배축이 굵은 ‘조평’이 가장 적절하였고, 땅콩나물 재배에 적합한 온도는 27oC로 판단되었다. 레스베라트롤 함량이 높은 땅콩나물의 적정 생육시기를 구명하고자 치상 후 생육조사와 동시에 HPLC를 이용한 레스베라트롤 함량을 조사한 결과 레스 베라트롤은 치상 후 9일차에 17.0μg/g 이상의 높은 함유량을 나타내었다. 따라서 땅콩나물은 생산적 측면과 레스베라트롤의 함량을 고려했을 때 치상 후 9일차에 땅 콩나물을 수확하는 것이 가장 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Sloan-Kettering virus gene product of a cellular pro-oncogene c-Ski is an unique nuclear pro-onco protein and belongs to the Ski/Sno proto-oncogene family. Ski plays multiple roles in a variety of cell types, it can induce both oncogenic transformation and terminal muscle differentiation when expressed at high levels. Ski protein is implicated in proliferation/differentiation in a variety of cells. The alternative fate of granulosa cells other than apoptosis is to differentiate to luteal cells, however, it is unknown whether Ski is expressed and has a role in granulosa cells undergoing luteinization. Thus, the aim of this study was, by means of immunohistochemical methods, to locate Ski protein in the rat ovaries during ovulation and corpora lutea(CL) formation to predict the possible involvement of Ski in luteinization. In addition, to examine whether the initiation of luteinization with luteinizing hormone(LH) directly regulates expression of Ski in the luteinized granulosa and luteal cells after ovulation by in vivo models. In order to examine the expression pattern of Ski protein along with the progress of luteinization, follicular growth was induced by administration of equine chorionic gonadtropin to immature female rat, and luteinization was induced by human chorionic gonadtropin treatment to mimic luteinizing hormone(LH) surge. While no Ski-positive granulosa cells were present in preovulatory follicle, Ski protein expression was induced in response to LH surge, and was maintained after the formation of corpus luteum(CL). These results indicate that Ski is profoundly expressed in the luteinized granulosa cells and luteal cells of CL during luteinization, and suggest that Ski may play a role in luteinization of granulosa cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of protein patterns in granulosa cells and corpus luteum during the estrus cycle in bovine ovary by proteomics ^techniques. Our study was devided into five steps for follicular, ovulatory, early-lteal, midluteal and late-luteal. The protein was extracted from glanulosa cell and corpus luteum proteins by using M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent. Proteins were refined by clean-up kit and quantified by Bradford method until total protein was 700 μg. Immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strip was used 18 cm and 3 11 NL. SDS-PAGE was used 10% acrylamide gel. The protein spots were visualized by Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) staining, analyzed by MALDI mass spectrometry and searched on NCIBlnr. As the result, 61 spots of total 85 spots were repeated on follicular stage and 51 spots of total 114 spots were repeated on ovulatory stage. 40 spots of total 129 were repeated on early-luteal and 49 spots of total 104 spots were repeated on mid-luteal stage. Also 41 spots of total 60 spots were repeated on last-luteal stage. There were differences in the ovulation (follicular∼ovultory stage) in which the spots of follicular stage 19 was only and in ovulation stage was 10 spots. The difference between the luteinization (ovultory∼mid-luteal stage) was the spots counted in each stage. The spots of ovulatory stage was 1, early-luteal stage was 1 and in mid-luteal stage was 2. Eleven spots were found in mid-luteal stage and 2 spots were found in last-luteal stage. In conclusion, we confirmed that there were 7 spots in ovulation, 4 spots in luteinization and 2 spots in luteolysis. Spot No. 89-93 from ovulation were transferrin, and spot No.94 and 95 were HSP60. Spot No. 103 were Dusty PK, spot No. 135 were OGDC-E2, and spot No. 175, 176 were Rab GDI beta from luteinization. Spot No. 178 and 179 from luteolysis were vimentin.

Nanotechnology is currently receiving considerable attention in various fields of biotechnology. The uptake of nanoparticles by cells for labeling and tracking is a critical process for many biomedical therapeutic applications. However, nanoparticle labeling of porcine hematopoietic cells has not been demonstrated so far. In the present study, silica-coated nanoparticles conjugated with rhodamine B isothiocyanate (SR-RITC) were used to investigate the uptake of nanoparticles by porcine hematopoietic cells. Flow cytometric and confocal microscopic analyses reveled that the cells were efficiently internalized by the silica-coated nanoparticles. Furthermore, biocompatibility tests demonstrated that the SR nanoparticles were not cytotoxic, and they had no impact on proliferation. Our study demonstrates that silica-coated nanoparticles are taken up very rapidly and with high efficiency into porcine hematopoietic cells, with no apparent deleterious effects. Therefore, silica-coated nanoparticles appear to be a promising tool for tracking porcine hematopoietic cells.

This study was conducted to investigate changes in seed vigor based on temperature of dry heat and duration treatment of watermelon seeds and examine the effect on percent of emergence and seedling vigor. When the upper limit temperature of dry heat treatment was raised to 80℃, the percent of the germination decreased. Moreover, T50 was delayed as the upper limit temperature of dry heat treatment increased. The higher the upper limit temperature of dry heat treatment and the longer the treatment period, the higher the percentage of abnormal seedlings. The optimum upper limit temperature for dry heat treatment was 72℃, and the treatment period was five days. Seed vigor was better maintained at 30℃, 45℃, and 52℃, followed by stepwise exposure to high temperatures of 72℃, the upper limit of dry heat treatment, rather than dry heat treatment at a high temperature of 72℃ for 5 days from the initial stage of treatment. When the fungicide was added during the dry heat treatment process, the germination percentage decreased and the percent of the abnormal seedling percentage increased. However, the addition of 10 mg/kg fungicide did not significantly reduce seed vigor.

This study investigated the applicability of horticultural media with recycled coir substrates the growth of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. Pekinensis) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) crop. The six different types of coir based substrates were A, Coir 45: Perlite 35: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), B, Coir 55: Perlite 25: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), C, Coir 65: Perlite 15: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), D, Coir 75: Perlite 5: Vermiculite 12: Zeolite 8 (%), E, Coir 85: Perlite 5: Vermiculite 5: Zeolite 5 (%) and F, nursery media (control). The pH and Electric conductivity of the horticultural nursery media were 6.06–7.00 and 0.45–1.10 dS/m-1, respectively. The nursery media containing coir substrates had higher level of Total N, Ca, K, Mg and P than those without coir. Additionally, it was observed that the growth of Chinese cabbage was the best on D (containing 75% coir) while that of lettuce was the best on E (containing 85% coir). In general, when substrates containg a higher percentage of coir were used, the growth of Chinese cabbage and lettuce was ideal. Additionally, the P, Ca, and Mg content in both plants was not significantly altered by the amount of coir present in the media. However, with an increase in the amount of coir substrate, the chlorophyll, N, and K content was increased. After harvesting, there was no significant difference in the chemical properties of the horticultural nursery media of both plants. Thus, it can be suggested that, coir substrate after a single use could be recycled as horticulture nursery media.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of low temperature on the growth, yield, quality, and biologically active compounds of strawberry and obtain basic information for developing a technology for stable growth of strawberry in greenhouses. Growth of strawberry, including leaf number, area, and length, plant height, and dry weight was better at the optimum growth temperature of 20℃ than at a lower temperature of 15°C. At the low temperature of 15°C, the cultivar 'Maehyang' was more tolerant and displayed better growth rate than 'Seolhyang'. At 15°C, the fruit production per week and fruit weight was lower than that at 20°C. In contrast, fruit length and diameter were not significantly different between the two growth temperatures. Growth temperature also did not affect the fruit color index, Hunter L, a, b value, or fruit firmness. However, the sugar content of strawberries grown at 15 was higher by 0.8 and 1.5 Brix for 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang', respectively, than of those grown at 20°C. There was no difference in the content of fisetin, a biologically active compound, for 'Seolhyang' at both growth temperatures, however, the fisetin content of 'Maehyang' was higher at 20°C than at 15 . Cinchonine and ellagic acid content of 'Seolhyang' was higher at 20°C than at 15 , whereas that of 'Maehyang' was higher at 15°C than at 20℃ . Quercetin content showed no significant differences with respect to growth temperature, however, it tended to increase at 20°C. The cinnamic acid content of 'Seolhyang' was higher at 15°C than at 20℃ , whereas that of 'Maehyang' increased at 20°C. Collectively, the biologically active compounds of strawberry were affected by growth temperature. Moreover, the content of these compounds tended to increase at 20°C, the optimum growth temperature, rather than at the sub-optimal growth temperature of 15°C.
