Due to its superior recycling characteristics, recycled-cotton has become a key material driving the eco-friendly transformation of the fashion industry. However, this transformation depends not only on material innovation in the production phase but also on consumers’ perception and acceptance of recycled-cotton fashion products. This study aims to identify the core determinants shaping consumers’ purchase intention toward recycled-cotton fashion products by analyzing how perceived consumption value dimensions influence purchase intention through behavioral attitudes and subjective norms and by testing the moderating effect of altruism. Data were collected from 280 consumers aged 20–59 years who had previous experience purchasing recycled-cotton fashion products. The mediating and moderated mediating effects were empirically verified using PROCESS Macro Models 4 and 7. The results revealed that emotional, economic, social, functional, and environmental value all exerted significant positive effects on behavioral attitudes and subjective norms and indirectly influenced purchase intention through behavioral attitudes and subjective norms. However, altruism demonstrated a significant moderating effect only on the path linking functional value to purchase intention via behavioral attitudes. These findings highlight the pivotal roles of consumption value, behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and altruism in shaping consumers’ purchase intention for recycled-cotton fashion products and offer actionable implications for promoting the market diffusion of recycled fashion.

The present study evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of Maclura tricuspidata root (MTroot) extracts against the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans. The chloroform (CHCl3) fraction obtained from organic solvent partitioning of the MTroot ethanol extract was subfractionated using open-column chromatography on silica gel. Among the subfractions obtained, subfraction 3 (Fra-3) obtained in 1:1 (v/v) n-hexan:ethyl acetate solvent system exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity. Accordingly, the chemical composition was analyzed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry in positive electrospray ionization mode. In addition, the antibacterial activity of Fra-3 against S. mutans was assessed at each stage of extraction. While the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the CHCl3, EtOAc, n-butanol, and aqueous fractions against S. mutans were above 15, 120, 120, and 120 μg/mL, respectively, the MICs of the subfractions obtained from silica gel open-column chromatography using different n-hexane:ethyl acetate ratios (3:1, 1:1, and 1:3) were 3.0, 1.5, and 25.0 μg/mL, respectively. Fra-3 was tentatively found to contain 38 major compounds, including kuwanon C, kuwanon E, cudratricusxanthone L, morusin C, cycloartocarpesin, kuwanon A, mulberrofuranol, and moracin U, which accounted for 66.7% of the total ion response. Collectively, these findings suggest that kuwanon C, kuwanon E, and cudratricusxanthone L present in MTroots may serve as novel therapeutic targets to prevent dental caries caused by S. mutans.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate goji berry (Lycium barbarum) beverages with enhanced sensory quality through the addition of fruit extracts. Five formulations were prepared using hot water extracts of dried goji berries, blended with varying proportions of concentrated apple and aronia extracts. Each beverage was adjusted to 7 of °Brix and standardized with citric acid and stevia to ensure consistent sweetness and acidity. Sensory evaluation was conducted by 20 panelists using a 9-point hedonic scale to assess sweetness, sourness, bitterness, color, aroma, and overall acceptability. Significant differences among samples were confirmed through one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) were performed to explore patterns in the sensory data. The beverage formulation containing 70% goji berry extract, 15% apple extract, and 14.93% aronia extract, along with sodium citric acid and stevia, demonstrated the highest overall acceptability among all samples. This was followed by the formulation composed of 70% goji berry extract, 15% apple extract, and 15% aronia extract. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified sweetness, aroma, and overall acceptability as the primary sensory attributes influencing consumer preference, with the first two principal components accounting for 95.61% of the total variance. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) further confirmed these findings by grouping the two formulations together based on their sensory profiles. In conclusion, blending goji berry extract with complementary fruit extracts such as apple and aronia significantly improves the sensory quality and consumer acceptability of functional beverages. These findings suggest that optimized fruit blending may be a promising strategy for enhancing the palatability and marketability of goji-based health beverages.

The postharvest quality of cut flowers often declines during transportation, especially under dry storage conditions. Therefore, incorporating preservative solutions during shipment is vital for extending the vase life of high-value cut flowers. Among commonly used additives, sucrose (Suc) and Floralife (FL), a commercial preservative, have demonstrated efficacy in maintaining vase life. Oxygen nanobubbles (O2NB) and ozone nanobubbles (O3NB), which are nanoscale gas-filled bubbles in aqueous media, have been proposed as antimicrobial agents for use in preservative solutions applied to cut flowers. This study examined the effects of seven preservative treatments on the postharvest performance of cut Cymbidium ‘Lovely King’ during simulated transport. Treatments included tap water (control), Suc, FL, O2NB, O2NB combined with Suc (O2NBS), O3NB, and O3NB combined with Suc (O3NBS). Cut stems were placed in floral water tubes filled with the respective solutions and stored in a cold chamber at 5°C for 7 days to simulate transport conditions. Among the treatments, O2NB resulted in the longest vase life of 21.0 days, significantly longer than that under O2NBS (14.3 days). Additionally, the O2NB solution exhibited the lowest bacterial count (4.9 log 10 CFU mL-1) compared with other treatment solutions. Stems treated with O3NB maintained the highest relative fresh weight throughout the experiment. Initial water uptake was 8.4 g and 7.6 g for the O3NB and O2NB treatments, respectively. These findings indicate that O2NB is an effective transport preservative for enhancing postharvest quality and extending the vase life of cut Cymbidium ‘Lovely King.’

Lycium barbarum extract has a high potential to be developed as a health functional food due to the various health-promoting effects of Lycium barbarum. This study analyzed changes in nutritional and functional components depending on the extraction solvent (purified water and a mixture of purified water and alcohol) and the condition of the sample. The nutritional components (carbohydrates, protein, fat, ash), organic acids, amino acids, total phenolic compounds, and total flavonoids of the extract produced during the extraction process were analyzed. The nutritional composition and functional substances of the extracts showed some differences depending on the type of solvent and the condition of the sample. The amounts of crude protein (7.61%), crude fat (1.63%), carbohydrate (90.22%), and ash (0.54%) of dried Lycium barbarum extract using purified water as a solvent were similar to those of the powder sample extract. The highest content of citric acid was 4.31 mg/mL, similar to the case of acetic acid, when the powder sample used a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The highest amino acid content was 357.39 mg/mL when the powder sample was mixed with purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The total amount of phenolic compounds was 686.16 g/L when the powder sample was extracted with a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The highest total flavonoid content was 111.32 g/L when the powder sample was extracted with a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent.

This study is concerned with the optimization of the manufacturing process of a hot water extract containing antioxidant activity from Lycium barbarum, traditionally known to have various physiological activities. For the establishment of the optimization process, the central composite design of response surface methodology(RSM) was used. Thirteen extraction processes were performed by encoding the independent variables, extraction temperature (65.9oC–94.1oC) and extraction time (2.59 hr–5.41 hr). As a result of the experiment, the optimal manufacturing conditions for the extract were 340.0 mg/100 g of GAE at an extraction temperature of 94.1oC and an extraction time of 5 hr. The maximum yield of flavonoids was 22.44 mg/100 g of HES at an extraction temperature of 94.1oC and an extraction time of 4 hr. The conditions for producing the extract with the maximum antioxidant capacity (DPPH 92.12%) were 90oC and 4.5 hr extraction time. Therefore, the optimal manufacturing process conditions for extracts containing total phenol content, flavonoid content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity, which are dependent variables, were extraction temperature of 90-95oC and extraction time of 4 hr, which were not significantly different from the actual values. Therefore, Lycium barbarum extract rich in total phenol and flavonoid content related to antioxidant function is expected to be used as a functional food and cosmetic material.

The Republic of Korea has implemented an obligatory vaccination on major livestock breeds to prevent and eradicate nationwide foot and mouth disease (FMD) since the end of 2010. The government has executed massive serological survey to check the immune level of various herds after vaccination, and seropositive rates against FMD virus (FMDV) structural proteins can be measured to assess FMD immunity level. The purpose of this study is to investigate the FMDV serological level of every cattle breeding farm in the country and to determine whether there is a significant difference between groups classified by time, age, and management authority. A total of 5,781 serum samples was collected in 18 cattle breeding farms from 2020 to 2021, and the seropositive rates were measured using PrioCHECK FMDV Type O ELISA kit. Firstly, the cattle breeding farms were classified by which they are managed: the central government, the local government, and the private agency. Every management authority had a seropositive rate of 99.5% or higher. Secondly, the samples were divided into 6 to 12 months old, 12 to 24 months old, and 24 months or more. The 6 to 12 months old group in 2020 showed a significantly low seropositive rate of 98.1%, but it was improved by implementing the enhanced vaccination policy from 2021 to 100%. In summary, there are considerably high seropositive rates including all groups with time, age, and by which they are managed, which means the FMD vaccination in cattle breeding farms is well-managed.
