맥주효모박 중의 단백질 함량은 41.7%. 탄수화물은 46.0%이었다. 주요 무기질은 K. P, Mg, Ca이었으며, 이들의 함량은 각각 1659.7㎎%, 1, 197.4㎎%, 210.4㎎% 및 105.6㎎% 이었다. 맥주효모박 중의 주요 비타민은 비타민 C와 비타민 B군이었으며 이들의 함량은 각각 7.9IU/100g 및 4.2IU/100g이었다. 맥주효모박의 자가소화 최적반응농도는 10% 였으며, 자기소화 촉진 및 오염방지제로 사용된 에탄올과 NaCl의 최적 농도는 맥주효모 현탁액의 경우 NaCl 3% 첨가구에서, 빵효모현탁액의 경우 NaCl 5% 첨가구에서 가장 효과적이었다. NaCl의 첨가에 의한 자가촉진효과는 맥주효모박보다 빵효모에서 더 우수하였다. 또한 맥주 효모현탁액에 에탄올을 첨가한 경우, 에탄을 첨가 농도에 따른 자가소화 촉진효과의 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 빵효모 현탁액에 에탄올을 첨가한 경우 에탄올 3%첨가구에서 가장 효과적이었다. 이들의 결과로 볼 때 에탄올의 첨가에 의한 자가소화 촉진효과 또한 맥주효모박에 비해 빵효모가 더 우수하였다. 맥주 효모박을 자가소화시킨 후 g1ucanase의 첨가는 정미 성이 강한 IMP와 GMP의 함량을 160% 정도 증가시 켰다.

Present study aimed to determine the effect of ‘bitter melon’, a popularly used fruit in Bangladesh and several other Asian countries, on high-fat-diet-induced type 2 diabetes. To investigate the effect, ethanol extract from bitter melon (BME) as a dietary supplement with mouse chow was used. BME was found to significantly attenuate the high-fat diet (HFD) -induced body weight and total fat mass. BME also effectively reduced the insulin resistance induced by the HFD. Furthermore, dietary supplementation of BME was highly effective in increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic fat and obesity. These results indicate that BME could be effective in attenuating type 2 diabetes and could therefore be a preventive measure against type 2 diabetes.

Background : Heat stress induced from high temperature are known to crucially affecting on physiological properties and yield in Cnidium officinale. Methods and Results : The effect of foliar application of mixture including a urea, ascorbic acid and calcium chloride on high temperature injury of Cnidium officinale. Photosynthesis and leaf temperature in Cnidium officinale were investigated after cultivating for 24 hours at 35℃. Net photosyntheis rate, transpiration was measured at 1,000 μmol m-2 s-1 of photon flux density and leaf temperature was analyzed by thermal image. Net photosyntheis rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate in mixture traetment were 2 times of higher than in control. Water use efficience was not different significantly. Leaf temperature was lower in mixture treatment (25.3℃) than in control (29.0℃). Conclusion : This result show that foliar application of urea, ascorbic acid and calcium chloride was reducing a high temperature injury through a improving photosynthetical capacity and decreasing leaf temperature of Cnidium officinale.

Background : Management of air temperature are known to primarily affecting on physiological properties and yield in plant. Methods and Results : The effect of air temperature on characteristics of photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence in Cnidium officinal were investigated using growth chamber after cultivating for 24 hours under controlled condition. Net photosyntheis rate, transpiration was measured at 1,000 μmol m-2 s-1 of photon flux density and chlorophyll fluorescence was analyzed by OJIP method. Net photosyntheis rate was highest in treatment of 25℃. Although transpiration rate was lowest, water use efficience was also in treatment of 25℃. Stomatal conductance was mainly influenced from ambient climatric factors such as vapor pressure deficit. As results of chlorophyll fluorescence by OJIP analysis, maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II (PSII), PIabs and the relative activities per reaction center such as ABS/RC, DIo/RC were not changed at air temperature. Therefore, elevated air temperatue during short term influence the dark reaction in photosystem through controlling a water use efficience and transpiration. Conclusion : This result show that 25℃ of air temperature may be a adequate temperature to improving the efficiency of photosynthesis in Cnidium officinale.
