This paper provides basic data for product developers by investigating the consumption status, consumer perception, and consumer demand on products using Aster Yomena. Two hundred ninety-five people over 20 years of age were analyzed according to gender and age. In the purchase of Aster Yomena products, men were the higher purchasers except for powder. In age, noodles, wild vegetables, jangajji, tteok, and powder were consumed by those older than 30 years. In an analysis of purchase when developing Aster Yomena products, the male purchase intention was higher in all items except for kalguksu in the staple, and male purchase intention was higher in only bibimbapseasoning among aster powder addition sauce and all items in dessert. The purchase intention of those older than 30 years was higher in all items of staples, aster powder addition sause and sause The purchase intention of those older than 30 yearse was higher in green vegetables juice and milk tea among drink, and all items except ice cream among dessert. An analysis of the popularization of Aster Yomena revealed higher perceptions of men in the medium (TV, internet, online cafe, agro-fishery market), experience program (area tourism, exposition), and product development (convenience food, recipe development). The medium (agro-fishery market), experience program, and product development were more recognized in their 30s or more. The products with aster yomana require the most effective marketing to men 30 years and older, and require a strategy that will interest those in their 20s.

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.

Background : Obesity is a type of metabolic diseases caused by unbalanced in take and consumption of calories. 3T3-L1 is differentiated into adipocytes by various hormones and transcription factors and accumulates intracellular lipid. Therefore, it is important to inhibit the adipocyte differentiation precess for effective obesity inhibition. Aster yomena and Aster glehui are medicinal plant of Compositea family that grows widely in Korea. Aster genus plants have been used to treat snakebite wound or bruises in oriental. The aim of this study was comparison of inhibitory effect oxidation and adipocyte differentiation with Arial parts of A. yomena (AY) and A. glehni (AG). Methods and Results : AY and AG were cultivated from Pyeongchang in Korea, 2018. AY and AG were extracted by 70% ethanol (-E) and water (-W) at room temperature. AG-W has higher phenolic content (6.92 ± 0.23) and AG-E has higher flavonoid content (8.22 ± 0.19) than other extracts. AG-E has higher radical scavenging activity on DPPH and ABTS assay (IC50 value; 104.88 ± 10.50 and 30.06 ± 0.27). In cytotoxity assay, all extracts concentrations of lower 100 ㎍/㎖ were nontoxic to the cells and can be applied for the next assay. The anti-adipogenic effect of extracts were determined in 3T3-L1 cell by Oli Red-O (ORO) staining. The lipid diplot stained with Oil red O was dissolved to determine by microplate-reader. AG-W significantly reduced the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells (70.49%) compared with other extracts (AG-E, AY-W and AY-E). Conclusion : Theses results reveal that the water extract of AG has utility as a functional food material for preventing obesity.

To evaluate therapeutic efficacy of aldose reductase (AR) inhibition, the leaves of Aster yomena were tested for inhibition of AR. The stepwise polarity fractions of A. yomena were tested. Among them, the n-BuOH fraction showed highest activities against AR inhibition. Our results demonstrated that A. yomena could be a worthy natural source source for curing against diabetic complications.

도시민들이 전통나물 자원식물 식물을 쉽게 구입 및 재배하는데 필요한 자료 축적 측면에서 쑥부쟁이 근경의 유통기술 개발과 이용성을 조사하였다. 쑥부쟁이는 전남 광양산으로 2년차 근경을 3월 25일에 굴취하여 이용하였다. 쑥부쟁이 근경을 식재한 후 초장 10cm를 기준으로 수확기를 조사한 결과 아파트 베란다에서 재배한 것은 4월 21일경, 정원과 옥상에서 재배한 것은 5월 17일 경이었다. 근경을 굴취하여 4±0.5℃에서 저장한 것을 8월 1일에 출고하여 수태에 적층하여 비닐포장 한 다음 상온의 암상태에 4일간 두어도 84% 이상의 생존율을 나타내었다. 쑥부쟁이 근경을 굴취하여 4±0.5℃에서 저장해 둔 다음 6.27일에 출고한 것은 식재 후 18일이 되어야 10cm 이상 자랐으며, 7월 30일에 출고한 것은 24일이 되어야 10cm 이상 자랐다. 4±0.5℃에 저장한 근경을 물에서 20일간 싹기름한 결과 8.2cm 자랐다. 200mL 물에 식물용 영양제 6mL를 첨가하여 재배한 결과 85일이 되어도 생육이 좋았다. 이와 같은 결과를 고려할 때 쑥부쟁이는 2년차 근경을 냉장하면서 출하기를 조절할 수 있고, 실내에서 물재배도 용이하므로 도시농업, 학습교구 및 원예치료 프로그램 용 등으로 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단되었다.
