우박 및 태풍에 의해 생육기간 동안에 낙엽이 발생했을 때를 가정하여 5월부터 10월까지 1개월 간격으로 인위적으로 낙엽 처리를 실시하고 그에 따른 사과나무 ‘시 나노스위트’의 수량, 저장양분 및 다음해 화총 수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 평균 과중은 낙엽 정도가 심할수록, 낙엽 시기가 빠를수록 감소하였으며 과실 비대 감소는 수량 감소로 이어졌다. 30% 낙엽구의 과실 크기 및 수량은 낙엽 시기와 관계없이 무처리구와 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2년생 가지의 탄수화물 함량은 8월 이전 낙엽구가 9월이후 낙엽구에 비해 현저히 낮은 함량을 보여 낙엽 정도보다는 낙엽 시기의 영향이 컸다. 8월 이전 낙엽구 중에서는 낙엽 시기가 늦어질수록 탄수화물 함량이 감소하여 8월 낙엽구에서 무처리구 대비 50% 수준으로 가장 낮았다. 생육기 중의 조기 낙엽 다음해 화총 수는 낙엽 시기 및 정도에 따라 큰 차이를 보였다. 5월 이후 낙엽 시기가 늦어질수록 화총 수가 감소하여 7월 낙엽 구에서 가장 낮은 화총 수를 보였으며 8월 이후 낙엽구는 무처리구와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 낙엽 이듬해 화총 수는 수체내 탄수화물 함량과 정의 상관을 보였다. 위의 결과, 7월 이전의 낙엽 피해가 발생되었을 때에는 적과를 통해 개별 과실의 sink 기능을 강화하여 과실 비대를 향상시키고, 저장양분 확보를 통해 다음해 화총 수를 확보하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Food freezing preservation is an important process due to its high quality and long shelf-life. In order to improve the quality of frozen sweet potato stem, the freezing rate, thawing, and packaging method was optimized by the determination of physical properties. There was no significant difference among the treatment of freezing rate. Further, the drip loss of sweet potato stem was higher at a relatively fast freezing rate (immersion freezing) than at slow freezing rate (natural convection freezing at -20 or -40oC). For the comparison of packaging methods, the aircontaining packaged sweet potato stem had the lowest significant differences from the result of color, pH, and hardness. From the result of the drip loss, the high frequency and microwave using thawing samples were more effective than room temperature and water thawing. Therefore, fast freezing and thawing rate with air-containing package were recommended to obtain the better quality of sweet potato stem.

Taro is an alkaline food containing a lot of protein, vitamin C, and minerals. Matang is a food prepared by frying a starch-containing material in oil and glazing with honey or starch syrup and it is widely enjoyed as simple snack or dessert in Asian countries including Korea. In this study, to increase the usability of taro having high nutritional values, taro matang was prepared by varying the types of starch while the physical and sensory properties were investigated. The taro matang was prepared by mixing corn starch, sweet potato starch, potato starch, and sticky rice starch with taro. The chromaticity of taro matang samples were measured, and the results showed that the corn starch taro matang was the brightest (L=40.48±1.17) and the potato starch matang was the darkest (L=33.81±1.33). The pH of the taro matang samples were within the range of 6.16-6.26 with no significant difference. The physical properties of the prepared taro matang samples were measured. The hardness and fracturability of the sweet potato starch taro matang were the highest at 3,414.79 and 1,570.03, respectively. The springiness and chewiness of the corn starch taro matang were the highest at 0.95 and 1,773.24, respectively. With regard to sensory properties and preference, the taro matang samples having lower hardness and brighter chromaticity were preferred. The preference for the flavor, crispness, softness, taste, and overall preference of the potato starch taro matang were the highest. Therefore, taro matang prepared as snack or dessert by mixing with potato starch may satisfy consumers’ demand.

Increasing sugar intake of population has become a nutritional issue in Korea. Sweet taste perception may be related to behaviors such as eating sweet food including high sugars and total sugar intake. This study aimed to evaluate objective and subjective sweet taste perception and the association among objective sweet taste perception, dietary behaviors related to eating sweet snack food including high sugar, and total sugar intake from the snacks. Participants were 261 healthy female college students (mean age: 21.0±1.6 years), who were divided into three subgroups based on oral sweet taste evaluation using a sweet taste assessment tool provided by Ministry of Food and Drug Safety: sweet-seeker group (n=139), medium sweet-seeker group (n=54), and unsweet-seeker group (n=68). There was no significant difference in weight and body mass index (BMI) among the three groups; however, the sweet-seeker group had significantly higher sweet taste preference than that of the other groups. Though more people in the sweet-seeker group thought they tended to eat sweet foods than the medium sweet-seeker and unsweet-seeker groups, over half of the sweet-seekers did not think they tended to eat sweet foods. The sweet-seeker group was more likely to eat sweet snacks such as breads, chocolate products, sugar-sweetened milk, and so on than the unsweet-seeker group. Total sugar intake from the selected sweet snacks was 44.4 g for the sweet-seeker group, 34.4 g for the medium sweet-seeker group, and 28.0 g for the unsweet-seeker group with a significant difference. These results indicated the absence of relationship between objective sweet taste perception and the obesity index; however, significant associations were detected among objective sweet taste perception, eating sweet snacks and total sugar intake from the snacks. We also found high disagreement between objective and subjective sweet taste perception of the subjects. The present study provided the novel insight that measuring objective sweet taste perception may be useful for assessing the risk of high sugar consumption and undesirable dietary behaviors.

Exportation of sweet persimmon has been grown up recently, but the growth was accumulated because of quarantine and shelf life issues. Herein, we've investigated the concurrent processing of ethyl formate (EtF), a MeBr alternative quarantine fumigant, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an anti-ethylene compound, on sweet persimmon and suggested proper fumigation methods. An important quarantine pest, Tetranychus urticae, was inoculated on sweet persimmon, and then 70 g m-3 of ethyl formate has been fumigated for 6 h before and after 1 ppm of 1-MCP treatment for 24 h at 5°C condition. These concurrent processing showed the promise that efficacy of EtF was enough to meet quarantine guideline and shelf life of fruits was extended in terms of the hardness, surface color and sugar contents when treated fruits were stored for four weeks at 5°C.

Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) are major pests on greenhouse crops including sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in South Korea. To manage this pest complex effectively, it is fundamental to understand population dynamics and spatial distributions of the pests. In this study, we conducted visual counting and used yellow sticky traps to monitor whitefly and thrips populations in sweet pepper greenhouse (6 × 28 m). The survey was conducted every two weeks over two months. A total of 84 traps were set up at 20cm from the plant top canopy and spaced 1m apart from each other. Leaves were selected randomly from the middle plant canopy for visual counting at the same sampling locations. The trap data indicate that the numbers of whiteflies and thrips increased from 5.50 ± 0.34 to 168.51 ± 14.95 and from 52.40 ± 1.67 to 158.42 ± 7.44 (mean ± SE) per trap, respectively, over the two-month observation period. In general, the spatial distributions of these pests aggregated near the greenhouse entrance with significant positive correlation between the densities of the two species (r = 0.74, P = 0.02). However, the results of visual counting were completely different; either species was rarely found on leaves, even when the trap catches were relatively high at the same locations. That is, there was no correlation between visual counting and sticky trap data sets. The current study will serve as a fundamental step to develop reliable and effective management programs for greenhouse sweet pepper.

Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the leading export greenhouse crops in South Korea. Sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is one of the major pests on greenhouse pepper. This pest is conventionally managed by synthetic insecticide application, however this management tactic causes the overuse of toxic compounds and the resistance of whiteflies to insecticides. Therefore, the development of environment-friendly natural insecticides is vitally important. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of three newly-screened insecticidal compounds for B. tabaci (Biotype Q) in laboratory. The insecticidal effects of the compounds were assessed with adult B. tabaci using leaf disc arena established in petri dish. Among the three compounds tested, JS408, a plant extract from Perilla sp., showed significant insecticidal effects on B. tabaci in one hour causing 90% mortality. However, JA408 caused phytotoxicity on sweet pepper leaf resulting in browning dead spots. The new plant-extract JA408 has promising potential as natural insecticidal compound for B. tabaci, but further study must resolve the phytotoxicity issue. Moreover, insecticidal effect should be evaluated under field conditions.

This study was conducted to provide desirable way on the eating of sugar foods, specifically the differences between dietary attitude, dietary behaviors and intake frequency. Data was collected from 279 middle students in the Incheon region through a self-administered questionnaire. According to the results of the reliability and factor analysis, the dietary attitude, dietary behaviors and intake frequency was 3.52, 2.89 and 2.51, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.867, 0.789, 0.940 and KMO of 0.899. Factor analysis extracted three components of the sugar preference, which we named dietary attitude (factor 1), dietary behaviors (factor 2), and intake frequency (factor 3). The dietary attitude and dietary behaviors showed a significant difference between sugar preference and non-preference (p<0.05). Also, intake frequency of sugar food showed a significant differences in chocolate, chocolate products, and ice cream between sugar preference and non-preference (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were found in cake, bread kinds, juice, sweetness milk, yogurt between sugar preference and non-preference (p>0.05). A significant positive result of intake frequency of sugar food (p<0.05) was shown for the dietary attitude, BMI, weight, and monthly pocket money. Based on this study, the reduction of sugar intake is needed especially for middle students

단감을 재배하는 농가에서 저장성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 값싸고 쉬운 방법을 개발하기 위해 본 연구를 수행 했다. 농가 관행 LDPE 포장재 내에 동봉할 수 있는 천연소재(대나무활성숯, 왕겨숯, 겔라이트)를 선발하여 상온과 저온환경에서 가용성 고형물 함량, 경도, 식미, 부패도, 연화도의 변화를 1주일 또는 2주일 간격으로 조사 하였다. 대나무활성숯을 동봉한 LDPE 포장 방법이 단순 LDPE 포장 방법 보다 저장성 및 품질을 을 좋게 유지하였다. 대나무활성숯을 동봉한 LDPE 포장 방법은 관행 농법 농가와 유기 농법 농가 모두에서 장기 저장 시 그리고 유통 중 온도변화 시 저장성을 향상 시킬수 있는 값싸고, 손쉬운 방법으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Insect and natural enemy fauna were surveyed at conventional (CV) and organic-farming persimmon orchards (OF) at Jinju, Korea, using sweeping net and naked eyes in 2013 and 2014. Using sweeping net, 49 species at an OF and 18 species at a CV were observed in 2013. In 2014 too, more species were observed at OF (66 species, 33 families, 7 orders) than at a CV (25 species, 15 families, 5 orders). During both the years, dominant species were all hemipteran insects like Nysius plebejus (Lygaeidae) and Cletus punctiger (Coreidae) in both types of orchards, followed by Rhopalus maculatus (Rhopalidae), Riptortus pedestris (Alydidae). Similarly, naked eye inspection also found more species at OF (192 species, 72 families, 11 orders) than at CV (104 species, 52 families, 10 orders) in 2014. Dominant species in naked eye inspection were Lycorma emelianovi (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), Uroleucon cephalonopli (Hemiptera: Aphididae) at OF, and A. mellifera and R. maculatus at CV in 2014. Using naked eye inspection or sweeping net in 2014, more species of natural enemies were observed at OF (31 and 9 species, respectively) than at CV (18 and 5 species, respectively).

Anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids, are natural water-soluble pigments, which are mainly found in vegetables and fruits. Anthocyanins have attractive pharmacological activities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of anthocyanins-rich fraction (ANF) from Korean purple sweet potato variety, "Shinjami", against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. In our results, pre-treatment of HepG2 cells with ANF (10μg/mL) significantly prevented cell death and maintained cell integrity, following exposure to 0.9 mM hydrogen peroxide. The H2O2-dependent production of intracellular ROS was also significantly decreased by pre-treatment with ANF (6 h, 10μg/mL). In addition, ANF increased the mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes, catalase and glutathione level in H2O2-treated HepG2 cells. These results indicated that ANF protected HepG2 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative stress by inducing protective system.

고구마 바이러스 무병묘 재배에 따른 세대 간 수량변 이를 구명하기 위하여, ‘안노베니’, ‘연황미’, ‘맛나미’ 등 3품종의 무병묘 세대(TC0, TC2, TC3) 삽수를 75×25cm 로 정식하여 흑색비닐로 멀칭재배하였다. 정식 30일째 줄기신장은 대조구인 농가묘보다 무병묘 세대에서 유의 한 증가를 보였으며, TC0에서 가장 왕성하였다. 120일째 수확기 생육은 줄기길이, 원줄기 마디수와 곁가지수는 농가묘보다 무병묘 세대에서 높았으나, 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 무병묘 세대의 지상부 생체중이 농가묘보다 유의하게 증가하였으나, 무병묘 세대간 그리고 품종간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 주당괴근수와 평균괴근중은 농가 묘보다 TC0와 TC1 세대에서 유의한 증가를 보였으나, TC2 세대에서는 농가묘와 차이가 없었다. 무병묘 세대의 주당괴근중은 농가묘보다 유의하게 증가하였고, 무병묘 세대간에는 TC0에서 가장 높았다. 무병묘 세대의 평균 상저수량, 상저비율과 소형 고구마(40-200g) 비율도 농가묘보다 유의한 증가를 보였다. 300g 이상 괴근비율은 TC0 세대에서 가장 낮았다. TC2 세대의 상저수량은 TC0 세대보다 유의하게 낮았고, 농가묘와도 유의한 차이가 없었다. 품종간 상저수량은 ‘맛나미’에서 가장 높았으며, ‘안노베니’, ‘연황미’ 순이었다. 따라서 무병주의 수량과 품질 유지를 위해서 농가는 3년 주기로 교체하는 것이 필요하다. 다만 교체주기는 바이러스 재감염 정도에 따 라 2-3년 주기로 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

몇가지 LED 광질이 고구마 바이러스 무병묘의 생장과 포장생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. ‘신황미’, ‘연황미’, ‘맛나미’ 등 3품종의 바이러스 무병묘를 20일간 담액수경 재배하여, 자연광하에서 10일간 순화시켜 30cm 크기의 삽수를 75×25cm로 6월 10일 정식하여 흑색비닐로 멀칭재배하였다. LED 광질은 형광등(40W) 을 대조구로 하여 적색(660nm), 청색(460nm), 적+청 8:2 및 적+청 7:3 혼합광을 사용하였다. 묘소질은 적+청 (7:3) 혼합 LED에서 줄기신장, 줄기두께, 잎수 및 뿌리 발달 등이 양호하여 건묘육성에 가장 효과적이었다. 정식 30일후, 포장 생존율은 적:청(7:3) 혼합 LED에서 형광등과 적색 LED보다 유의하게 높았으며, 품종간 차이는 없었다. 줄기길이, 줄기두께, 마디수 등의 지상부 생육특성도 LED 광질 및 품종간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 정식 120일후 지상부 생육특성에서도 줄기길이, 줄기두 께, 마디수, 곁가지수, 생체중 등에서 LED 광질에 따른 유의성은 인정되지 않았으며, 줄기길이, 마디수, 줄기두 께, 생체중 등에서 품종간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 주 당평균중, 평균괴근중 및 수량 등은 LED 광질에 따른 차이가 없었으며, 품종간에는 유의한 차이를 보였다. 품종간 수량은 ‘맛나미’와 ‘연황미’에서 ‘신황미’보다 유의 하게 높았다.

The impacts of climate change on agriculture sector are divided into two factors, namely crisis and opportunity factor. The crisis factor is such as more frequent and more intense disaster. On the other hand, there are also opportunity factors such as extension of crop cultivation period. Godangok and Guseulok were sown at 30 June, 10, 20, 25, 30 July and 5 August in 2011, 2012. It takes about 22 ~ 23 days from silking to harvest when sweet corn hybrids were sown in 30 June, but 25 July-sowing takes 27 ~ 30 days and 8 August-sowing takes 30 ~ 36 days. The accumulated temperature for harvesting of sweet corn was about 1,600 ~ 1,900˚C. The minimum cumulative temperature from seeding to harvest was approximately 520 ~ 590˚C. The growing degree days (GDD) from seeding to harvesting were approximately 213 ~ 353˚C and it was highest in the last sowing. At sowing in 2011 (916 ~ 1,067˚C) and 2012 (911 ~ 1,055˚C) all showed no significant difference to the harvest GDD. Plant height, ear height, stem diameter, and dry matter weight were reduced as planting date was delayed (p < 0.05). Ear weight in Godangok was 715 kg per 10a and in Guseulok was 677 kg per 10a, respectively in two years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the growth and yield of sweet corns during ripening according to the sowing time, and to provide information necessary to improve the quality of sweet corns.
