A study on the recognition on the mushrooms by elementary school pupils, middle school students and school dietitians were-carried out. The ways of cooking mushrooms by school dietitians were also investigated. Most students and dietitians highly recognized mushrooms as good food. The most favorite mushroom was Flammulina velutipes, the cooking of mushrooms with meat and the hot mushroom soup with meat(Jungol) being the most preferred cooking methods. School ditetitians like to use mushrooms in school lunch and generally use medium or high duality mushrooms. Students, however, do not tend to prefer mushrooms compared to other vegetables. Mushroom dishes that can promote the consumption by students are mushroom bulgogi, mushroom pizza, sweet and sour mushroom in the order.

‘부유’ 단감과수원에 적합한 녹비작물을 선발하기 위하여 헤어리베치, 레드클로버, 호밀, 헤어리베치+호밀을 파종하여 토양화학성과 물리성 그리고 과실수량과 품질을 조사하였다. 천근성인 레드클로버는 생육이 저조하여 피복도가 약 66%로 처리구에서 가장 낮았고 호밀 또는 헤어리베치+호밀 혼파처리구의 토양환원량이 가장 높았다. 식물체에서 환원되는 질소, 인산, 칼리 함량이 헤어리베치+호밀처리구 혼파처리구에서 가장 높아 토양의 유기물과 pH, 인산, 칼리, 칼슘과 전기전도도가 증가하였다. 토양의 용적밀도와 고상이 호밀 또는 헤어리베치+호밀처리구에서 감소되어 기상의 증가로 인한 공극률이 증가되었다. 헤어리베치+호밀처리에서 과실의 착과수와 수량이 가장 높았으며, 과실의 당도와 착색이 증가되는 효과가 인정되어 녹비작물로서 단감과원에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 국내에서 유통되고 있는 국내산 건고추의 품질 기준을 제시하기 위하여 농가에서 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 열풍 건조한 고추와 소비자가 선호하는 태양 건조한 고추를 지역별로 수집하여 물리화학적 및 미생물학적 품질비교를 하였다. 열풍건조한 고추와 태양 건조 고추의 건물량으로 환산한 캡사이신노이드 함량의 경우 열풍건조 시료는 10.85~126.39 mg%, 태양 건조 시료는 0.43~164.09 mg%로 넓은 범위의 분포도를 나타내었고, 총 유리당 함량은 각각 10.82~20.77%, 9.26~23.10%로 건조 방법에 따른 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 ASTA 값과 비타민 C 함량의 경우, 열풍건조 시료는 49.12~154.69, 0.0~1,010 mg%, 태양건조 시료는 70.08~182.13, 620~1,050 mg%로 태양건조 시료가 열풍건조 시료보다 높은 범위의 값을 보였다. 총균수와 효모의 경우, 열풍건조 시료군은 2.01~6.67 log CFU/g, 1.03~4.12 log CFU/g이었고, 태양 건조 시료군은 1.74~5.77 log CFU/g, 1.05~6.10 log CFU/g이었다. 또 병원성 미생물인 Clostridium perfringens와 Bacillus cereus도 건조 방법에 상관없이 검출되었다. 한편 이들 품질 특성들을 이용한 주성분 분석 결과 제1요인은 38.47%, 제2요인은 18.31%였고, 총 설명력은 56.78%였다. PC1은 비타민 C, ASTA값, 색도와 관련이 있었고, PC 2는 수분함량, 미생물 수, 건조 방법과 관련이 있었다. 본 연구결과는 국내에서 유통되고 있는 고춧가루의 건조방법에 따른 품질 차이와 미생물의 오염도가 확인되었고, 소비자가 원하는 고추 품질 지표에 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to examine major growth responses, the production and partitioning of dry matter on different growth stages, and yields and to select the optimal shading material in both quality and productivity of ginseng. Two cultivars of ginseng, Cheonpoong and Geumpoong, were cultivated in the paddy soil with three different shading materials; three-layered blue and one-layered black polyethylene (TBP), blue polyethylene sheet (BPS), and aluminium-coated polyethylene sheet (APS). Plant heights were linearly increased until June 24 and then maintained with showing higher height in Cheonpoong than that in Geumpoong cultivar. Root lengths were gradually increased until October 16. They were longer in Cheonpoong than that in Geumpoong cultivar, showing slightly longer with APS compared to TBP and BPS. The ability of producing dry matter of leaves was much higher from April to June compared to those of other growth periods, whereas its ability of root was concentrated from the end of June to the end of August. Among the shading materials, the ability of producing dry matter of shoot was higher with TBP than those with BPS and APS, while its ability of root was not appeared certain tendency unlike the shoot. The yield of ginseng roots was the highest with TBP among three shading materials and it was higher in Cheonpoong than that of Geumpoong cultivar. The shading materials which affect the light intensity and the temperature would be considered as an important factor to get better quality and productivity of Korean ginseng.

This studies were conducted to investigate the growth responses and yields of Astragalus membranaceus Bunge which were grown with organic cultivation using two organic fertilizers and two green manure crops of hairy vetch and rye in 2008 and 2009. The lengths of stems and roots were not clearly different between organic and conventional cultivations. The root diameters and the branch numbers were slightly thicker and more in all treatments of organic cultivation than that of conventional cultivation in 2008, although they were not significantly different between two cultivating methods in 2009. The dry weights of shoot and root were heavier on organic cultivation than those on conventional cultivation. The T/R ratios were commonly higher in organic culture, showing more clearly in 2008 than 2009. The yields were generally higher in organic cultivation than those in conventional cultivation in 2008 although the effect did not clear on yield in 2009. The organic cultivation using of organic fertilizers and green manure crops would be new method to have safety and qualitative products. The techniques of organic cultivation for Astragalus membranaceus Bunge would be studied more on utilizing the natural organic resources.
