Mycoviruses have been found in many fungal species including mushrooms. Double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes were common type in mycoviruses, but single-stranded (ss) RNA mycoviruses were also reported in some fungal species. Sequencing analysis using cDNA cloning experiments revealed that mycoviruses can be classified into several different virus families such as Totiviridae, Hypoviridae, Partitiviridae and Barnaviridae etc. Because the nucleotide sequence data that are available in these days are very limited in a number of mycoviruses, the existence of more diverse viral groups in fungi are currently expected. In this review, we selected four different fungal groups, which were considered as the model systems for mycovirus related studies in both plant pathogenic fungi and edible mushroom species, and discussed about their molecular characteristics of diverse mycoviruses. The plant pathogenic fungi introduced here were Cryphonectria parasitica and Helminthosporium victoriae and the edible mushroom species were Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus.

Citrus계 식용 코팅제인 beeswax-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(BW-HPMC), soybean oil-carboxymethyl cellulose(SBO-CMC), carnaubawax-shellac-locust bean gum(CW-SL-LBG)를 각각 사용하여 레몬에 먼저 1차 코팅하고 항산화제인 비타민 C와 E를 섞어 그 위에 제 2차 코팅하여 이중층의 multilayered 레몬을 제조하였다. 레몬 껍질 위에 형성된 막의 양은 CW-SL-LBG, BW-HPMC, SBOCMC의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 가속 저장 실험 조건으로 30oC의 항온기에 12일 동안 저장하면서 유자의 중량감소율, 부패율, 경도, pH, 가용성 고형분, 적정산도, 갈변도의 변화를 측정하고 관능검사를 실시하였다. 중량감소율, 부패율, 경도, 갈변도는 CW-SL-LBG가 가장 작은 변화를 보였고, pH, 가용성 고형분, 적정산도의 변화는 SBO-CMC가 가장 작게 나타났다. 저장성의 관능검사에서는 CW-SL-LBG가 가장 양호하게 나타났다. 결과적으로 CW-SL-LBG가 비타민 C와 E를 함유한 multilayer 코팅에 가장 적합한 물질로 평가되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate of the combustion characteristics for the waste edible-oil and heavy oil on hot air heater. There was highly reduction in energy cost using by the hot air heater. The hot air heater to study with duct connector type, and the motor output was 2.2kW. The experimental factors for performance test, fan speed ranged from 1700 rpm to 1800rpm, and SFC, efficiency, exhaust gas emissions, and noise were measured. The results obtained were as follows; efficiency were increased to 87% at the heavy oil and was decreased to 79% on the waste edible-oil. The fuel consumption was decreased to 25L/h at the heavy oil and CO2 emissions was decreased in the case of the heavy oil

The aim of this study was to determine exposure assessment of pathogenic bacteria in edible ices by using the monitoring data from the previous study. According to the results of exposure assessment of edible ices contaminated with S. aureus, the contamination level of S. aureus in raw materials was higher than other foodborne pathogens, and the contamination level of S. aureus in mixed samples increased much before sterilization. The most significant reduction in contamination level was observed in mixed samples after sterilization, thus, the contamination levels in frozen final products was less than that of raw materials. Overall, the possibility for the infection of foodborne bacteria from the intake of edible ices per person per day was ranged from minimum 5.89 × 10-7 to maximum 5.01 × 10-5. For more realistic estimates, consumption of edible ices and dose-response model must be studied further.

시중에 유통되고 있는 33종류의 식용유지를 대상으로 하여 benzo[a]pyrene의 함량을 모니터링한 결과 압착올리브유 0.5-1.4 μg/kg, 혼합올리브유 0.6-1.0 μg/kg, 참기름 0.9-1.3 μg/kg, 대두유 0.6-3.3 μg/kg, 옥수수유 0.5-1.1 μg/kg, 해바라기유 1.2, 1.7 μg/kg, 홍화유 1.0, 2.1 μg/kg, 유지가공품 1.0, 1.4 μg/kg 수준으로 검출되었다. 대부분의 시료에는 benzo[a]pyrene 기준치인 2.0 μg/kg를 초과하지 않았지만, 미국산 대두유와 미국산 홍화유에서 각각 3.3 μg/kg, 2.1 μg/kg로 두 종류에서 기준치 이상 검출되었다. Benzo[a]pyrene은 식용유지로 제조되기 이전에 원재료가 오염되었거나, 가공공정, 환경으로부터 노출되는 등 노출경로는 다양하다. 정제과정인 deodorizing 과정이나, bleaching 과정에 의해서 benzo[a]pyrene의 함량이 감소되며, 압착올리브유와 혼합올리브유의 실험결과에서 정제올리브유가 혼합되어 있는 혼합올리브유의 benzo[a]pyrene의 함량이 낮게 나타났음을 확인할 수 있었다. Benzo[a]pyrene의 함량은 연기성분에서도 영향을 받을 수 있으므로 원재료를 건조시키거나, 볶는 과정에서 밀폐된 상태로 진행하는 것보다 개방된 상태에서 진행하는 것이 benzo[a]pyrene의 생성을 억제할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

양파 과육부에 함유되어 있는 유용 성분인 quercetin과 그 배당체를 다양한 착즙 및 추출방법에 따른 수율을 측정, 분석하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 양파과육의 quercetin과 배당체의 최적 추출 조건으로는 50oC에서 60% methanol를 용매로 사용했을 때 15분의 추출시간인 것으로 나왔으며 용매와 시료의 비율이 0.8 mL/g일 때 추출 수율이 가장 좋았다. 초음파를 60분 동안 처리 시 대조군에 비하여 2.06배의 추출 증가 효과를 볼 수 있었으며 microwave는 60초 조사 시에 최대의 추출 증가 효과를 나타내어 microwave를 처리하지 않은 시료와 비교하여 quercetin과 배당체가 2.14배 많이 추출되었다. 효소 처리 시 cellulase 용액과 시료의 비율이 0.5 mL/g일 때 quercetin과 배당체의 수율이 가장 높았으며 1.65 배 더 많이 추출되었고 viscozyme과 시료의 비율이 0.5 mL/g일 때 quercetin과 배당체의 수율이 가장 높았으며 추출증가율은 2.29 배인 것으로 나왔다. 가장 많은 quercetin과 배당체의 추출 수율을 보인 방법은 viscozyme과 시료의 비율이 0.5 mL/g일 때의 0.070±0.002 mg/g인 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to determine microbiological assessment on edible ices, which is one of mandatory items for HACCP application, and to provide basic scientific data for the improvement of HACCP system. In HACCP applied edible ice companies, the contamination levels of total counts, yeast and mold, and coliform from raw materials, mixed samples before sterilization, mixed samples after sterilization, and final products of edible ices were lower than those of non-HACCP applied edible ice companies. Foodborne pathogens, such as L. monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., B. cereus, S. aureus, Y. enterocoliticawere not detected in all samples of edible ices from HACCP applied edible ice companies, but S. aureus was isolated from 1 raw material, 1 mixed samples before sterilization and 1 final product of edible ices from non-HACCP applied edible ice companies, respectively.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of wa-song (Orostachys japonicus A. Berger) extracts on the oxidative stability of edible oil. Wa-song was dried from hot air (HWE) and freeze (FWE), and then they were extracted by hot water. The different levels (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 g/100 mL) of HWE and FWE were added to soybean oil and lard. The chromaticity of edible oils was generally increased with prolonged heating time and HWE was higher than FWE. The anisidine value showed significant increase during heating for 48 hrs. After heating for 48 hrs, it was lower than control, except for HWE added sample of 0.5 and 1.0 g/100 mL, FWE added sample of 1.0 g/ 100 mL. In lard, it was lower in sample added wa-song extract than control. The acid value was not significant by added amount of wa-song. Its value in HWE added sample was lower than FWE, after heating for 48 hrs. POV was lower HWE than FWE, also. After heating for 24 hrs, TBA values in soybean oil containing HWE and FWE added sample was lower than control. In lard, its value in HWE and FWE added sample was lower than control during heating for 12~48 hrs. Therefore, those results suggested that HWE has higher antioxidant activity than FWE added sample, and then oxidative stability of HWE in edible oil was more potential for lard during its heating.
