In this study, consumers’ perception and consumption behavior of blended tea were investigated. Also, consumer perception of Siberian chrysanthemum, consumption behavior, and awareness of efficacy were investigated. As a result of the survey, it was confirmed that it was necessary to develop a blended tea with taste and flavor characteristics that consumers prefer, having the capability of relieving stress, and preventing cold or respiratory disease. In addition, the degree of recognition of Siberian chrysanthemum was very low, and the recognition of the efficacy appeared in the order of 'cold relief' and ‘respiratory disease relief’. Factor analysis results, safety attributes, health attributes, product attributes, marketing attributes, and sensory attributes were factorized into five factors, and after analysis, it was concluded that the sensory attributes of taste and aftertaste were considered the most important. Consumers surveyed appeared to consume blended tea for ‘relieving mood or stress relief’, to enjoy the taste, and to prevent cold or respiratory diseases. Siberian chrysanthemum displays efficacy in cold relief and relief of respiratory diseases. Therefore, developing Siberian chrysanthemum as a blended tea could be a practical application that can expand the range of its use, making it more popular and increase its commercial applications.

This study investigated the volatile flavor composition of essential oils from Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura and Aster yomena Makino. The essential oils obtained by the hydrodistillation extraction method from the aerial parts of the plants were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). One hundred (95.04%) volatile flavor compounds were identified in the essential oil from the C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura. The major compounds were valencene (10.82%), δ-cadinol (9.77%), hexadecanoic acid (8.70%), 2-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl) but-2-en-1-ol (3.67%), and 2-(2,4-hexadiynylidene)-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,4]non-3-ene (3.57%). Ninety-eight (93.83%) volatile flavor compounds were identified in the essential oil from the Aster yomena Makino. The major compounds were and 3-eicosyne (13.61%), 9,10,12-octadecatrienoic acid (7.8%), α-caryophyllene alcohol (6.83%), 9-octadecynoic acid (6.03%), and α-caryophyllene (5.74%). Although the two plants are apparently very similar, the chemical composition of the essential oils was significantly different in quality and quantity. In the case of C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura, the sesquiterpene, valencene was found to be 10.82%, but it was not identified in A. yomena Makino. δ-Cadinol appeared higher in C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura than in A. yomena Makino. A clear characteristic of A. yomena Makino essential oil is that it has a high content of caryophyllene derivatives. The α-caryophyllene alcohol contained in A. yomena Makino was relatively high at 6.83%, although the compound was not identified in C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura. Also α-caryophyllene was shown to be higher in A. yomena Makino than in C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura.

본 연구는 구절초 꽃 추출물이 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 개발 가능성을 관찰하기 위하여 항 산화 활성과 피부세포에 대한 세포독성, 항염증, 멜라닌 생합성 억제능에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 본 연구 결과 구절초 꽃 추출물에서 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드의 높은 함량과 뛰어난 DPPH radical 소거작 용을 확인하였고, Raw 264.7세포와 B16F10세포에 대해 유의한 세포독성을 나타나지 않았으며, Raw 264.7세포에서 LPS에 의해 유도된 NO 생성을 유의하게 억제함으로써 항염증 효과를 확인하였다. 구절 초 꽃 추출물이 B16F10세포에 α-MSH로 멜라닌 생성을 유도한 후 멜라닌 생합성 억제능을 측정한 결 과 멜라닌의 생성 증가를 농도 의존적으로 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 구절초 꽃 추출물은 세포에 대한 독성이 낮고, 높은 항산화 활성과 항염증, 미백효과를 가진 기능성 화장품소재 로써의 활용 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Macrophages play a pivotal role in the innate and adaptive immune systems. This study investigated the immuno-modulatory activities of polysaccharides separated from Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZPS) in macrophages. Polysaccharides from Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum were extracted by the ethanol precipitation method. RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cell line was treated with CZPS (4 to 128 μg/mL), and there was no cytotoxicity at a dose below 32 μg/mL. The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β) production in the CZPS treated group (32 μg/mL) were 6.5±0.12 μM (NO), 1252.8±79.85 (TNF-α), 305.4±29.41 (IL-6), and 683.3±59.71 (IL-1β), respectively, and they were significantly increased when compared to the control group; 2.2±0.03 μM (NO), 452.3±38.34 (TNF-α), 31.7±5.75 (IL-6), and 184.1±11.52 (IL-1β). Additionally, protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and phosphorylation of MAPKs and NF-κB expression were significantly increased upon CZPS treatment. Therefore, these results indicated that polysaccharides separated from Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZPS) may have a potential immunomodulatory activity in macrophages through MAPKs and NF-κB signaling, and this information is useful for the development of immune enhancing adjuvant materials using a natural ingredient.

With the addition of ethanol to wax gourd extract and by acetic fermentation, 5.0% acidity vinegar was produced. After putting 10% extract(10% concentration) of Chrysanthemum zawadskii in this, and by dissolving shell, Chrysanthemum zawadskii-pearl vinegar was produced. When a 1% of ark shell, oyster shell, or ear shell was added to wax gourd vinegar, 95.6～98.4% of the shell dissolved, and when a 2% content of shell was added, 97.2～98.4% was dissolved. The acidity of vinegar which dissolved 1% shell was pH 3.0～3.17, and the acidity of vinegar which dissolved 2% shell was pH 1.11～1.20. The pH values of vinegar which dissolved 1%, and 2% shell contents were 4.54～4.55, and 4.86～4.95, respectively. When 1% shell was dissolved, the acidity was higher than that of commercial vinegar, with a high pH value and low level of free acid. This shows that when Chrysanthemum zawadskii 1% is added during acetic acid fermentation, the inhibition was 44.4%, and 22.2% respectively. In this regard, Chrysanthemum zawadskii should be added after the fermentation of acetic acid. The calcium content of 1% shell vinegar is 0.4%, and that of 2% vinegar is 0.78%. Non-heated native wax gourd shows an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition rate of 21.7%, an antioxidant activity of 5.23%, and a tyrosinase inhibition rate of 5.5%. In the case of heated-extracted wax gourd, the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition rate was 16.1%, superoxide dismutase activity was 20.5%, antioxidant activity was 23.2%, and the tyrosinase inhibition rate was 7.1%. Also, in the case of Chrysanthemum zawadskii, the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition rate was 28.8%, the xanthine oxidase inhibition rate was 28.2%, the superoxide dismutase activity was 14.5%, the antioxidant activity was 3.2%, and the tyrosinase inhibition rate was 9.2% Data also revealed that when a 10% sample of the heated-wax gourd extract was added to A549 human lung cancer epithelial cells of, the number of cancer cells declined by 80% in 72 hours, When a 10% native extract was added, the number of cells declined by, 74% in 48 hours, and when a heated-extract of Chrysanthemum zawadskii was added, 100% of the cells died after 72 hours.

본 연구는 아연폐광지역의 토양에 토양개량제를 처리한 후 구절초와 층꽃나무의 생장반응을 연구함으로서 생태계 복원을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 실시하였다. 아연폐광지의 토양은 유기물 함량ㅇ이 낮았고, 토양 중 중금속 이온은 Zn의 함량이 가장 높았고 Pb, Cu, Cd순이었다. 아연폐광지역 토양에 슬러지 처리 시 유기물 함량이 가장 높았고, 중금속 이온 함량은 토양개량제 초리구간의 차이가 적었다. 생육반응을 보면 구정초와 층꽃나무 모두 슬러지 처리구의 효과가 나타났다. 구절초와 층꽃나무의 가용성 단백질, 엽록소 함량, 엽록소 형광 반응은 슬러지 처리구에서 가장 높았고, 광함성량과 증산량도 슬러지 처리구에서 높았다. 중금속 축적량은 구절초는 슬러지 처리구에서 낮았던 반면 층꽃나무는 슬러지 처리구에서 높았다.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of soil amendment (heat-expanded clay and active carbon) and planting of Dendranthema zawadskii var. latilobum on the remediation of salt-affected soil and the plant growth under high calcium chloride (CaCl2) concentration. The experimental group comprised treatments including Non treatment (Cont.), heat-expanded clay (H), active carbon (AC), planting (P), heat-expanded clay+planting (H+P), active carbon+planting (AC+P). A 200 mL solution of CaCl2 at a concentration of 10 g·L-1 was applied as irrigation once every 2 weeks. Compared to the Cont., the incorporation of the ‘heat-expanded clay’ amendment decreased electrical conductivity of the soil leachate and cation exchange capacity, whereas the growth of Dendranthema zawadskii var. latilobum was relatively increased. These results suggest that the combination of ‘heat-expanded clay’ amendment and planting will mitigate negative effect of de-icing salts and improve plant growth in salt-contaminated roadside soils.

This study was conducted to investigate the growth of Dendranthema zawadskii in damaged soils when they are treated with improvement agents. The treatments consisted of a control (unamended field soil) and the application of a loess ball of 1 cm to the field soil. According to the degree of damage the de-icing agent had caused, the soils were divided into 3 areas (based on the yellowing of Pinus densiflora for. multicaulis in soil surveys): H (high saline), M (medium saline), and L (low saline). A total of six treatments were performed: D. zawadskiia plant without soil amendment (H; high saline soil, M; medium saline soil, L; low saline soil), and a D. zawadskiia plant with loess ball on the soil surface (H.L; high saline soil with loess ball, M.L; medium saline soil with loess ball, L.L; low saline soil with loess ball). The results showed that D. zawadskiia growth went from highest to lowest in the order: M.L > L.L > M > L > H.L > H. Plant growth results showed that soils treated with soil amendments (loess ball) were better for D. zawadskii growth than untreated soils.

고랭지 농업(해발고도 400 m이상)은 주로 해발고도가 높은 산지의 경사지에서 이루어지고 있고, 대부분 작물 재배기간이 5월부터 9월까지(5개월)로 짧아, 나머지 7개월은 토양 피복이 이루어지지 않은 상태로 있어 토양유실 가능성이 높다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 연구에서 고랭지 경사도 55% 라이 시미터(Lysimeter)에서 경관성이 높은 구절초를 식재하여 토양 유실 저감 효과를 규명하였다. 관행구로 나지(Control, TC) 대비 식재 밀도에 따라 구절초 적은 그룹(T1, 40주), 구절초 많은 그룹(T2, 70주)로 하여 총 3처리를 두었다. 구절초의 재배기간 (6-10월) 피복율을 조사한 결과 대조구인 나지상태인 TC는 0% 의 피복율인데 반해 구절초 식재한 T1 처리구는 43-59%의 피복율을 보였으며, T2 처리구는 63-81%로 경사지 토양을 피복시 키는 효과가 가장 좋았다. 재배기간 평균기온의 5개월 평균은 평균기온범위는 16.1℃로 나타났으며 강우량은 1207.9 ㎜로 나 타났다. 재배기간 동안 평균적인 지표유출량 경감효과는 TC 처 리 대비 구절초 피복처리구인 T1 처리구는 71%, T2처리구는 76%로 우수하였다. 또한, 토양유실량의 경우 TC보다 T1처리구 의 경우 84%, 재색밀도가 높은 T2 처리구의 경우 98%의 토양유실 감소효과를 보였다. 따라서, 고랭지 경사지에 영년생 자원식물 중 경관성이 뛰어난 구절초를 식재함으로서 경사지 토양유실을 경감시킬 수 있고, 부가가치가 높은 고소득작물로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

산국은 개국화라고도 하며, 산국 꽃은 진정·해독·소종 등의 효능이 있어 두통과 어지럼증에 사용한다. 관상용으로 심으며 어린순은 나물로 먹는다. 구절초는 구일초(九日草), 선모초(仙母草), 고봉(苦蓬)이라고도 불린다. 꽃이삭에 1.1%, 잎과 줄기에 0.01%의 정유가 있으며 전초는 알칼로이드 반응을 나타낸다. 항균성이 있고, 민간요법으로는 전초와 꽃 이삭을 해열, 폐렴, 기관지염, 기침, 감기, 인후염증, 방광질병, 무월경, 고혈압 치료 등에 사용했다. 본 연구는 산국과 포천구절초의 질소형태별 생육습성을 조사하여 자생식물의 활용도를 증진시키기 위하여 실시하였다. 배양액은 Hoagland 배양액을 변형 처리하였으며, 질소비료의 형태를 NO3-N, NH4-N, NO3-N/NH4-N 혼용처리구로 구분하였다. 비닐하우스에서 EBB 시스템을 이용하여 재배하였으며, 60일 후 초장, 엽수, 엽장, 엽폭을 측정하였고, 엽록소 함량을 조사하였다. 산국과 포천구절초 모두 초장, 엽장, 엽폭의 경우 NO3-N와 NH4-N 혼합처리구에서 가장 많았으며, NH4-N처리구의 엽수감소가 뚜렷하였다. 엽록소 함량은 산국은 처리 간 큰 차이가 없었으나 포천 구절초는 NO3-N, NH4-N, 혼합처리구 순으로 증가하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate whether Chrysanthermum zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura (C. zawadskii) extracts has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity by cigarette smoke condensates (CSC). C. zawadskii was extracted with 70% ethanol and the yield was 18.5%. We further fractioned 70% ethanol extract sequentially to diethylether, chloroform, dichloromethane, and aqueous water, and gained the yield of 17.5%, 5.6%, 5.8%, 32.8% and 35.5%, respectively. In the Ames test, there was no mutagenic effect of crude extract and its solvent fractions up to 2 mg/plate toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 with or without S-9 mix metabolic activations. On the contrary, the crude extract showed an inhibitory activity against the mutagenicity of CSC in the presence of S-9 mix metabolic activation. Diethyl ether layer among five solvent fractions showed the highest inhibitory activity. The inhibitory activity of diethyl ether fraction was also increased in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibitory rate was about 97.7% at the concentration of 1 mg/plate. In this study, we conclude that crude extract of C. zawadskii itself is potentially safe for mutagenicity, and the diethyl ether fraction has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity of CSC.

구절초와 남구절초의 수확 시기에 따른 항산화 효과를 비교하기 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다. 구절초와 남구절초를 생육초기(5월 9일), 중기(7월 17일) 그리고 생육 후기(9월 3일)에 각각 수확한 후 80% 에탄올로 추출하여 radical 소거활성 및 항산화 물질 함량을 측정하였다. 수확 시기가 늦어질수록 식물체의 수분 함량과 추출 수율이 낮아졌다. DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거능은 이른 시기에 수확한 시료일수록 활성이 높은 경향을 보였다. 구절초의 DPPH radical 소거능은 생육 초기에 수확한 시료가 0.128mg · mL-1의 RC50값을 나타내 BHT(RC50=0.121mg · mL-1)와 비슷한 소거능을 보였고, 생육 초기에 수확한 남구절초와 구절초는 천연 항산화제인 ascorbic acid보다도 높은 ABTS radical 소거활성을 나타냈다. 그러나 Fe2+ chelating 효과의 경우, 구절초를 생육 후기에 수확하는 것이 초기나 중기에 수확하는 것 보다 높았으며, EDTA에 비해서도 훨씬 낮았다. 두 종 모두 수확 시기가 빠를수록 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드의 함량이 높은 경향을 보였으며, 생육 초기에 수확한 구절초와 남구절초의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 각각 79.93 및 75.10mg · g-1로 총 플라보노이드 함량(57.84, 54.91mg · g-1)에 비해 높았다.
