The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary dae-chu(Rhamnace ziziphus, A), onion(Allium cepa L., O), mixture extracts (mulberry leaf, licorice root, pine needle, angelica gigas, jujube, onion, M) on serum glucose, lipid, enzyme, phosphorus levels in rats (Sprague-Dawley male rats, 357.03±7.08g). Serum calcium of onion group was significantly decreased (p〈0.05), but mixture extracts group of Cl (p〈0.05) and TBIL (total bilirubin, p〈0.05) were significantly increased. Serum glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride were increased experimental rats than those of the normal rats. Mixture extracts was better than other groups for lipid metabolism. Also, GPT(glutamic pyruvic transaminase) and GOT(glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase) of onion extracts were protected to liver. So mixture and onion extracts were good drink for health.

In search for several fatty acid with unusual structure in vegetable oils, we have found that unknown peaks were shown on GLC in the analysis of fatty acids of the lipids from the pulp of ripened jujube (Zizypus jujuba var. inermis) fruits. These fatty acids were identified as a series of cis-monoenoic acids with Ω-5 double bond system such as C14:1Ω5, C16:1Ω5 and C18:1Ω5, including Ω-7 fatty acid as C16:1Ω7 and C18:1Ω7, by GLC, solid-phase extraction silver ion-column chromatographic, GLC-mass spectrometric and IR techniques. First of all, total fatty acid methyl esters were resolved into saturated and branched fatty acid, monoenoic acid, dienoic acid, and trienoic acid fraction, respectively, with 100% dichloromethane (DCM), DCM/acetone (9:1, v/v) 100% acetone, and acetone/ acetonitrile (97:3, v/v) solvent system. Unknown fatty acids were included in the monoenoic fraction and were confirmed to have cis-configuration by IR. Picolinyl esters of monoenoic fatty acids gave distinct molecular ion peak and dominant diagnostic peaks, for example, m/z 317, 220 and 260 fragment for cis-C14:1Ω5, m/z 345, m/z 248 and 288 fragment for cis-C16:1Ω5 and m/z 373, m/z 276 and 316 fragment for cis-C18:1Ω5. In this way the occurrence of cis-C16:1Ω7 and cis-C18:1Ω7 could be deduced from the appearance of prominent fragments as m/z 345, 220 and 260, and m/z 373, 248 and 280. Level of total Ω-5 fatty acids amounted to about 30% in the fatty acid composition with the predominance of C16:1Ω5 (18.7~25.0%), in the semi-ripened and/or ripened samples collected in September 14 (C16:1Ω5 ; 18.7%, C14:1Ω5 ; 3.6% and C18:1Ω5 ; 3.0%), September 22 (C16:1Ω5 ; 25.0%, C14:1Ω5 ; 1.4% and C18:1Ω5 ; 2.6%), and October 7 (C16:1Ω5 ; 24.7%, C14:1Ω5 ; 7.7% and C18:1Ω5 ; 2.5%). However, the lipids extracted from unripened jujube in July and August contain these unusual fatty acids as low as negligible. It could be observed that the level of Ω-5 fatty acids in the pulps increased sharply with an elapse of ripening time of jujube fruits. Other monoenoic fatty acids with Ω-7 series, C16:1Ω7 (palmitoleic acid) and C18:1Ω7 (cis-vaccenic acid) could be detected. And in the lipids of the kernel and leaf of jujube, none of Ω-5 fatty acids could be detected.

Jujube paste was prepared by autoclaving the fresh jujube at 1.2 atm and 120℃ for 30 min and removing the skin and cores. In order to increase the juice yield, the paste was treated with pectinase, cellulase and their combinations. The soluble fractions of enzymatically treated jujube paste were characterized in terms of yield, pH, titratable acidity, color, Bx, transmittance and sugar compositions. The original paste exhibited the water soluble fraction of 57.3%. Of various quality factors, the clarity was the most significantly distinguished between pectinase and cellulase treatments. The cellulase treatment produced the cloudy juice with the yield of 83.60%. On the other hand, the clear juice was produced by the pectinase and combined treatments due to degradation of pectins, whose yields were 79.47% and 85.39%, respectively. The results clearly demonstrated that the pectinase treatments improved the solubilization efficiency and clarity.

본 연구는 충청북도농업기술원 대추연구소에서 보유 중인 대추 유전자원 중 형태적 다형성을 나타내는 ‘일본’과 주요 대추 유전자원의 형태형질을 조사하고, 대추 육종 소재로서 ‘일본’의 가능성을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. ‘일본’은 주요 대추 유전 자원과 비교하여 엽과 과실의 크기가 뚜렷하게 작고 당도가 낮았다. 하지만 과실에 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높았으며, 항산화 능력 또한 가장 높았다. 또한 ‘일본’은 종자형성능이 가장 높았다. 대추 유전자원들의 형태형질을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 지리적 기원에 따라 유전자원들이 분류되었다. 특히 ‘일본’은 한국 및 중국 유전자원들과 명확히 구분되었다. 따라서 종자형성능이 우수하고 기능성 성분이 높은 ‘일본’은 추후 대추 유전연구 및 교배육종을 통한 품종 육성에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Recently, jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Mill.) has been attracting attention as a fruit, and its cultivation in rain shelter house is increasing to produce the high quality fresh jujube. This study was carried out to investigate the growth and fruit characteristics of jujube according to the types of rain shelter house. Methods and Results: The characteristics of 5-year-old Bokjo cultivar cultivated in 3 types of rain shelter house, multi span rain shelter house with roof vent (Type I), single span house with a column in the center and roof vent (Type II) and single span house with a column in the center and without roof vent (Type III), and open field were examined. The sprouting and blooming period were different among the types of rain shelter house. The diameter of main stem was higher in rain shelter houses than in the open field. There was no a significant difference in fruit number per leaf stem among the types of cultivation. The incidence of fruit cracking in open field cultivation which was 51.2% was much higher than that in Type I 21.6%, Type II 19.3%, and Type III 25.5%. The fruit size and weight in rain shelter houses, especially in Type III rain shelter house were higher than those in the open field and the soluble solids content of fruit in Type I and Type II was higher than in Type III rain shelter house and the open field. Conclusions: The results show that the growth and fruit quality of jujube were improved by cultivation in rain shelter house, and affected by the types of rain shelter house.

Background : Jujube (Zizyphus jujuba. Mill) is a broad-leaved shrub belonging to the family Seagull. Its origin is India and its height is about 5 m. The flowers are gathered in two to three in May-June, with five petals and yellowish green. Leaves are alternate, egg-shaped or long egg-shaped, with clearly visible three veins. The fruit, called jujube, is an elliptical nucleus with the seed wrapped in a solid nucleus. It is 2.5 - 3.5 ㎝ in length, green at first, ripened in brown or reddish brown in September-October. Jujube uses the bud mutation to breed and spreads through grafting. Therefore, there is little difference in phenotype between cultivars. However, because of the lack of research on jujube molecular biology, there is no standard to distinguish the variety at the DNA level. In order to overcome such difficulties and to create a research foundation of jujube, we have developed molecular markers from jujube. Methods and Results : We collected 12 jujube varieties include Bogjo and extracted DNA using CTAB method. The DNA was diluted to 10 ng/㎕ and kept at -20℃. We designed the primer sets using CLC Main Workbench based on DNA InDel regions between the varieties. PCR and electrophoresis were performed to confirm the polymorphism. We designed 26 primer sets from 23 InDel regions. Eighteen of 26 primer sets amplified the amplicon from the primer screening. Eight primer sets were selected for polymorphism assays. All primer sets showed polymorphism. The domesticated cultivars were divided into two groups and the Japanese and Chinese varieties were separated. Conclusion : The InDel markers developed in this study could be good tools to differentiate the jujube cultivars cultivated in Korea.

In recent years, not only the cultivation area of Jujube in Korea but also the number of pest species has increased. The farmers farming environmentally friendly are in great difficulty because there are no effective control devices. This study was conducted to investigate the control effect of the insect screen net on three pest species (Apolygus spinolae, Dasineura sp. and Carposina sasakii) in Jujube orchard when the pests were blocked by insect screen net. For the first and second surveys, the damage rates by A. spinolae were 9.06, 13.95% in 50 mesh, 4.75, 10.17% in 25 mesh, 5.68, 11.84% in 18mesh mesh of insect screen net and 21.6, 36.34% in untreated insect screen net, respectively. The damage rates by Dasineura sp. were 0.54, 0.13% in 50 mesh, 0.93, 2.84% in 25 mesh, 1.05, 13.45% in 18 mesh mesh of insect screen net and 11.1, 26.65% in untreated insect screen net. Carposina sasakii were completely blocked in all the treatments. Damages on Jujube were not observed by insect screen net. Therefore, insect screen net is effective on insect pest control for Jujube.

Background: This study were performed to determine the effect of root pruning of Zizyphus jujuba var. inermis (Bunge) Rehder. Root cutting inhibit vegetative growth and promote reproductive growth as temporarily reducing growth, net assimilation, water potential of leaf and cytokinin level. Methods and Results: The root pruning was treated of the root cutting widths 50, and 80㎝ and the root cutting depths 10, and 20㎝. The amount of root pruning and the number of suckers were the highest in the root-pruning treatment at a width of 50㎝ and a depth of 20㎝. The blooming time was from June 18 to 20, and no difference was observed in the blooming time among the rootpruning treatments. The number of flowers was rather higher in the root-pruning treatment at a width of 50㎝ and a depth of 20㎝ and at a width of 80㎝ and a depth of 20㎝. The percentage of fruit setting was higher in the plants whose roots were pruned at a depth of 20㎝ than in the untreated plants. The fruit size, fruit weight, and sugar content showed no difference among the root-pruning treatments. Conclusions: The results showed that percentage of fruit setting increased with root pruning, while no difference was observed in the growth and fruit quality of plants.

The aim of this study was to analyze antioxidant activity, total phenolics, and vitamin C content in unripe and ripe jujube cultivar and to investigate correlation between antioxidant and chemical constituents including total phenolics and vitamin C. The antioxidant activity was measured by the DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and reducing power. Although, the weight, diameter and soluble solids of Zyziphus jujuba fruit were increased with the progress of ripening, antioxidant activity and total phenolics were decrease during ripening. The highest free-radical scavenging activity (at 2.5 ㎎/㎖) and reducing power (at 1 ㎎/㎖) in fruit were 81.75% (Bokjo, unripe) and 0.80 (Mudeung, unripe), respectively. The highest total phenolic content in unripe fruit of Mudeung was 62.50 ㎍/g. A linear correlation (r=0.911) was shown between DPPH radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content.

The appearance and physicochemical characteristics of a native jujube (called Yak jujube) and Bokjo jujube were compared in this study. Our results revealed that the native jujube had smaller size, lower hardness, and higher contents of sugar, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, dietary fiber, and calcium contents, when compared to that of Bokjo jujube. Therefore, native jujube is softer and sweeter, with higher general nutrient content, despite being smaller than that of Bokjo jujube.
