2023년 경상북도 상주시 떫은감 과수원에서 잎 표피아래 굴을 파고 들어가면서 원형 또는 부정형의 식흔자국 을 남기는 증상을 관찰하였다. 해충의 유충은 녹색에서 적색으로 변하며 번데기 단계를 거쳐 성충(길이 3㎜, 갈색) 이 되어 탈출하였다. 본 해충에 대해 잎에서의 피해증상과 실험실에서 유전분석 결과 Genbank(GU816671,486bp DNA liner, 2016)에 등재되어 있는 감잎가는나방(Cuphodes diospyrosella)으로 동정되었다. 일본에서 1957년 최초 보고 후 우리나라에서는 주로 경남 창원과 진주의 농약 무살포 및 유기농 단감원에서 발생하였으나, 이번 경북지 역에 처음 발견되어 떫은감 재배 농업인과 현장지도원의 감잎가는나방에 대한 피해증상 진단에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to provide basic data on the amount of sodium and the setting of permissible error range of actual measurement, which is a problem for cabbage kimchi nutrients subject to labeling. The sample targeted was baechu (Kimchi cabbage) kimchi, which might have a large variation in sodium content by part of kimchi. Kimchi samples were collected twice from eight companies by season (spring, summer, fall, and winter). The average sodium content in kimchi samples was 619±87 mg/100 g (range, 534±63 mg/100 g to 783±40 mg/100 g). The error in average annual sodium content of abandonment kimchi (maximum value difference compared to the minimum value) was 26.8 to 64.3%. Sodium contents in kimchi produced in spring and summer were relatively low. However, deviation between individuals was large. It was found that cases exceeding the permissible error (120%) standard varied depending on the criteria for setting the amount of sodium. In addition, due to seasonal differences, sodium content in kimchi exceeded 120% of the labeling value. Thus, it is necessary to set standards suitable for characteristics of kimchi to prevent unintentional violations of labeling standards by raw materials and manufacturing processes.

배추 재배시기에 따른 품질특성을 비교하기 위해 월별 배추의 생육특성과 이화학특성, 미생물 특성을 분석하고 군집분석을 수행하였다. 군집특성은 5-6월(I), 7월과 10월 (II), 8-9월(III), 11-12월과 1월(IV), 2-4월(V) 총 5그룹으로 분류되는데 이는 배추 작형과도 대부분 일치되었다. 주성분 분석을 통한 그룹별 특성의 경우 I 그룹은 미생물 수, II와 III 그룹은 수분함량, IV, V 그룹은 구중과 유리당 함량이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 배추 품질특성에서 높은 상관관계를 보이는 항목은 구중과 결구율, 고형분 함량과 유리당 함량이었고, 고형분 함량과 유리당 함량을 회귀식으로 나타내면 Y(유리당) = 0.8195X(고형분 함량) - 1.2451로 나타낼 수 있는데 이를 활용해 배추의 고형분 함량으로 유리당 함량을 추정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통한 월별 배추의 품질특성은 해당 시기에 김치를 제조할 때 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined the physicochemical properties of radish pickle containing different natural preservatives (grapefruit seed extract, green tea extract, rosemary, or olive) stored for 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. The hardness and color of the radish pickles with the grapefruit seed extract was higher than the other radish pickles during storage from week 0 to week 4. A 14.52% and 13.80% decrease in hardness and color were observed in the radish pickles with grapefruit seed extract (GFE), respectively. In addition, the total phenolic content was highest in the GFE in natural preservatives. Based on the results, GFE was selected as the optimal natural preservatives, and the growth of total viable bacteria and yeast were evaluated. The total viable bacteria and yeast showed similar patterns to the control. These results are expected to be useful in producing radish pickles with optimal quality and contribute to the development of various foods in the food industry.

To increase the functional material content of soybean, a repetitive steaming and drying process was used. We investigated the changes in the total polyphenol content, the antioxidant activity, and the angiotensin-Ⅰ converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition in soybean following nine rounds of steaming and drying. Soybean was steamed 9 times for 2 h and then dried 9 times from 55℃ to 73℃ for 3 h. The total polyphenol content in the soybean reached a maximum value of 60.47 mg GAE eq./100 g at 73℃ while the total polyphenol content in the raw soybean reached 25.17 mg GAE eq./100 g. In the raw soybean samples, the DPPH radical scavenging activity (5 mg/mL) was 8.04% but it increased by 43.29% after drying 9 times to 73℃. ABTS radical scavenging activity also improved following 9 rounds of steaming and drying. ACE inhibitory activity of the soybean dried 9 times at 73℃ was 58.94% at 10 mg/mL. These results showed that steaming and drying soybean 9 times enhanced the antioxidant activity and the ACE inhibitory activity of soybean. Therefore, more research on the biological and anti-hypertensive activity of soybean using this steaming and drying method is necessary.

The purpose of this study was to examine biological activities, including total contents of polyphenol, antioxidant activities, inhibitory activities of tyrosinase, and protective effect against oxidative stress in the HepG2 cells of ethanol extracts from wheat sprout. The antioxidant activity of extracts was determined by ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Ethanol extracts were tested using different ethanol concentrations (0%, 30%, 50%, 80% and 95%, respectively). The highest amount of total polyphenol was extracted by 50% and 80% ethanol which was 26.3 and 26.8 mg gallic acid equivalents/g sample, respectively. High levels of ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity were found in 50% ethanol (26.7 and 15.0 mg TEAC/g sample, respectively) and 80% (24.3 and 16.1 mg TEAC/g sample, respectively) ethanol extracts. Also, 50% and 80% ethanol extracts indicated higher inhibitory activities of tyrosinase compared with other extracts. In the cell-based assay, pre-treatment of the HepG2 cells with wheat sprout extracts prevented the cell damage induced by TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide). The results of this study indicate that wheat sprout has significantly higher diverse biological activities and apparently has significant health benefits.

This study aimed to evaluate the characteristic differential between whole cabbage kimchi (pogi kimchi) and sliced cabbage kimchi (mat kimchi) during kimchi fermentation at 6oC. The difference of microbial and physicochemical properties was investigated until 6 weeks. For the changes in the microbial flora, both kimchi samples exhibited a continuous increase in total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) population size up to 2 weeks followed by a stationary phase until 5 weeks. Interestingly, the number of LAB of mat kimchi was overall higher than that of pogi kimchi during kimchi fermentation. We speculate that mat kimchi has in a more advantageous growth condition than pogi kimchi for microbial growth because small kimchi cabbage size appropriately derives nutritional supply in order to increase the LAB growth. During lactic fermentation at 6oC, physicochemical changes in the pH, salinity, and titratable acidity was observed to be no significant differences between two types of kimchi. Furthermore the contents of organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, and acetic acid was not significantly different (p>0.05) between both kimchi samples as well as the contents of total free amino acid.

This study examined the state of awareness, consumption, and purchasing behavior of Kimchi among Chinese adults in Beijing and Shanghai. Two-hundred Chinese individuals in Beijing and Shanghai were included as study subjects. The subjects selected “good Kimchi for Chinese taste” as excellent Kimchi; however, only 13% of the subjects selected “Kimchi from Korea is excellent.” The first sites of Kimchi consumption in China included “home” (59.0%) and “restaurants” (40.0%) in Beijing and “restaurants” (57.0%) and “home” (32.0%) in Shanghai. Chinese people primarily purchase 400g pouches of Kimchi more than once a month, and the average price of Kimchi is RMB 12.59 in Beijing and RMB 18.32 in Shanghai. These results suggest that the interest in Kimchi varieties and the countries producing it differ among Chinese consumers depending on the region. Therefore, a sensory evaluation of Kimchi is essential to determine the preferred flavor of Kimchi among Chinese individuals and to promote the consumption of traditional Korean Kimchi

This research was carried out to determine the differences of physiological activites between Grifola frondosa of logcultivation(LC) and Grifola frondosa of bottle cultivation(BC). Total flavonoids content, total phenolics content, electron donatingability(EDA), nitrite-scavenging ability(NSA), SOD-like activity and inhibitory effect of Xanthine oxidase were examined. Thehighest value of total flavonoid content is 5.96±0.81 mg/g in water extract from Grifola frondosa of log cultivation at 40oC (LC-W40) but, one of total phenolics compound is 44.53±0.89 mg/g in water extract from Grifola frondosa of bottle cultivation at40°… (BC-W40). The EDA using DPPH of BC-W40 extract showed the highest value of 97.14±0.71%. Nitrite-scavenging abilitywas 62.55°æ0.36% in extract from Grifola frondosa of BC-W40 at pH 1.2. The value was SOD-like activity showed the highestvalue of 18.95°æ1.39% in extract from LC-W40. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity was the highest value of 54.31±0.40% inextract from Grifola frondosa BC-W40, and dependent on concentrations. These results showed that a the antioxidant effects ofGrifola frondosa is excellent. However, physiological activities of Grifola frondosa were not depend on caltivation method regulary,and were different according to kind of solvents, concentraitions and physialogical factors examined such as EDA, SOD-likeactivity and NSA.

This study was conducted to determine the potential use for salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste by analyzing the quality characteristic of kimchi prepared with stored them. Salted Kimchi cabbages were packed with the 2% brine and kimchi paste were stored at 4℃ for 8 weeks, respectively. Kimchi prepared at 0 day and kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste every week were stored at 4℃ for 8 weeks. The salinity and titratable acidity of salted Kimchi cabbage packed with the brine was lower than control. The results of salinity, pH and moisture contents of kimchi paste did not show any significant differences during storage, however, the titratable acidity was increased. In sensory evaluation, salted Kimchi cabbage packed with the brine showed higher score in overall preference than control. Kimchi paste showed 4.9~6.1 score in overall preference during storage. The titratable acidity of kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste was lower than control. But, the results of sensory evaluation did not show significant difference among treatments. The study suggested that the use of 2% brine is an effective way for extending shelf-life of salted Kimchi cabbage and Kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste every week is effective to delay the fermentation but no difference in sensory evaluation.

동결건조된 원부재료(무, 배추, 쪽파, 마늘, 생강)를 이용 하여 나박김치를 제조한 다음 4℃에서 28일간 저장하며 이화학적 및 미생물학적 특성과 관능적 특성을 분석하였 다. 나박김치의 제조 직후 pH는 5.76~5.93이었으며, 저장기 간이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 산도는 저장기간이 경과 할수록 증가하였으며, 저장 28일차에 동결건조한 무 및 부 재료 처리구(D)의 산도가 0.43%로 나타나 동결건조 원부재 료 처리구(C), 생 원재료 및 동결건조 부재료 처리구(B)와 유의적인 차이가 확인되었다(p<0.05). 배추 및 무의 조직감 은 나박김치의 저장기간 동안 동결건조한 시료에서 대조구 (생원료)에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 배추의 경우 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 조직감도 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 나박김치의 제조 직후 일반세균 및 젖 산균수는 생원료로 제조한 대조구에서 약 1 log CFU/g 수준 높게 확인되었으며, 그 차이는 저장 21일까지 유지되다가 저장 28일차에 동결건조한 무 및 부재료 처리구(7 log CFU/g)를 제외하고 모든 시료에서 약 8 log CFU/g 수준으로 나타났다. 효모 및 곰팡이수는 저장기간 동안 모든 시료에 서 2~3 log CFU/g 수준을 유지하였으며, 대장균군의 경우 대조구 및 생원재료와 동결건조한 부재료 처리구를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 저장기간 동안 검출되지 않았다. 관능검사 결과, 생원재료를 사용한 대조구에 비해 동결 건조처리 구에서 전반적으로 낮은 점수를 나타내 동결건조한 주재료 는 나박김치의 관능적 품질이 저하시키지만 부재료(쪽파, 마늘, 생강)는 관능적 품질에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 동결건조된 부재료의 첨가는 미 생물수가 감소될 뿐만 아니라 김치의 조직감과 관능적 품질 을 저하시키지 않으므로 다양한 김치 제조 시 활용 가능성 이 높으며 더불어 김치의 저장성을 연장하는 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

기후변화에 따라 오염도가 높아질 것으로 예상되는 곰팡 이독소 중 아플라톡신을 김치에 오염시켜 발효 및 저장 중 이화학적 및 미생물학적 품질변화를 분석하고, 김치 제 조 시 젖산균의 첨가가 아플라톡신의 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 김치의 pH는 저장기간이 증가함에 따 라 급격하게 감소한 반면 산도는 증가하는 경향을 보였으 며, 염도는 저장기간 동안 2.30~2.40%의 수준을 유지하였 다. 젖산균을 첨가한 김치의 일반세균수 및 젖산균수는 다 른 시료에 비해 젖산균을 접종한 시료에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한 김치의 저장 중 효모 및 곰팡이 수 는 약 1~3 log CFU/g 수준이 검출되었다. 대장균군은 대조 구에서 저장 4주차까지 검출된 반면 다른 시료에서는 저장 2주 후 모두 불검출되었다. 아플라톡신이 오염된 김치에서 저장기간에 따라 아플라톡신이 감소하는 경향성은 확인되 지 않았으나 저장 8주 동안 아플라톡신 오염수준의 평균 감소율은 AFs 오염구에서 7.1%, AFs+LP에서 21.5%, AFs+LM에서 24.1%로 나타나 젖산균을 첨가한 시료에서 감소율이 더 크게 나타났다. 아플라톡신 첨가에 따른 김치 의 이화학적 및 미생물학적 품질 변화는 일반 김치와 비교 시 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 젖산균을 첨가한 김치 의 경우 저장 중 일반세균 수 및 젖산균수가 높게 검출되고, 아플라톡신의 감소효과가 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연 구결과 김치에 Lactobacillus속이나 Leuconostoc속과 같은 젖산균 첨가 시 젖산균 증진 효과 및 아플라톡신에 노출위험도를 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

동결건조보호제(glucose, maltose, lactose 및 sucrose)를 첨가한 캡슐형 분말김치를 -20, 0, 4 및 25°C에서 4개월간 저장하면서 생균(젖산균)수를 측정한 결과, -20°C에서 저장한 캡슐형 분말김치에서 4개월 후에도 젖산균이 7 log CFU/g 이상 유지되었으며, 동결 건조 보호제로 glucose를 첨가한 캡슐형 분말 김치의 젖산균은 대조군 보다 약 3log CFU/g 이상 더 높았다. 4 및 0°C에 저장된 캡슐형 분말김치에서도 저장 4개월째의 젖산균수는 7~8 log CFU/g으로 유지되는 것을 확인하였다. 25°C에 저장된 캡슐형 분말 김치에서는 저장 10주까지는 4~5 log CFU/g으로 젖산균수가 유지되었으나, 저장 4개월 후 젖산균이 확인되지 않았다. 분말김치 내의 생균수를 7~8 log CFU/g로 4개월 이상 유지하기 위해서는 동결건조보호제(maltose 또는 glucose) 첨가처리와 더불어 냉장 및 냉동 보관이 필수적임을 확인하였다
