본 연구에서는 복분자 콤부차의 최적 배합비를 찾고 이화학적 특성과 항산화 활성을 알아보았다. 반응표면분석법을 통해 복분자 콤부차의 최적 배합비는 홍차 농도 10% (w/v), 복분자 농도 8.09% (w/v)로 나타났고 이 배합비로 홍차 발효 주정에 복분자 당침액과 균을 첨가하여 14일간 초산 발효와 젖산 발효 과정을 통해서 산도 4%와 pH 2.77인 콤부차를 만들 수 있었다. 복분자 콤부차의 주요 유기산은 acetic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid로 나타났으 며 그 중에서 acetic acid가 3,705.34 mg/100 mL로 가장 높았다. 발효 후 총 폴리페놀의 함량은 763.33 μg CE/mL 로 발효 전보다 증가하였으나 콤부차 발효 후 DPPH, ABTS 라디칼 소거활성을 측정한 결과 항산화활성은 각각 46.09%, 89.81%로 발효 전보다 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 반응표면분석법을 통해 얻은 최적 배합비의 종속변수 예측값과 최적 배합비 콤부차 실험값의 산도의 평균차는 0.065, 유기산의 평균차는 0.041, ABTS 라디칼 소거활성의 평균차는 0.061이므로 예측값과 실험값은 유사 하다.

본 연구는 착즙이나 추출 후 폐기되는 복분자(Rubus coreanus) 부산물을 사료자원으로 급여한 버크셔 암컷과 거세돈의 육질특성을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 시험 돼지는 Berkshire 품종 총 60두를 암수 구분하여 각 15두씩 임의 배치하였고, 복분자 부산물을 급여하지 않은 대조구와 복분자 부산물을 전체 사료의 0.3% 수준으로 출하 전 60일간 급여한 처리구(RC)로 분리하였다. 육질분석을 위하여 도축 후 예비 냉각한 좌반도체 등심 부위를 채취하여 일반성분, 이화학적 육질특성, 지방산 및 항산화 활성을 분석하였다. 일반성분은 대조구와 RC간의 유의적 차이가 없었고, 육색에서 거세돈육의 명도(L*) 값에서만 RC구에서 대조구 보다 낮은 값을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 등심육의 pH와 보수력은 RC 급여에 의한 유의적 차이가 없었으나, 전단력에서는 RC에서 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타냈다(p<0.05). TBARS 수치는 거세돈육의 RC가 대조구에 비해 낮은 경향을 나타냈고, DPPH radical 소거활성에서도 거세돈육의 RC가 대조구보다 높은 항산화능을 나타냈으나 유의적인 차이는 없었고 이는 성별에 의한 차이가 큰 것으로 판단된다. 근내지방 함량과 지방산 조성은 RC 급여에 의한 영향보다는 성별에 의한 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, RC 급여에 따른 항산화 특성 패턴이 다르게 나타난 것도 위와 같은 이유인 것으로 판단된다.

This study was investigating the anti-obesity effects of diets with a mixture of cheese, red ginseng and fermented mature fruit of Rubus coreanus Miquel. We fed the experimental diets (SC5, SC10) supplemented with 5% or 10% cheese containing of fermented mixture, then orally administered the extract of fermented mixture (RB100, RB300) at a concentration of 100 or 300 mg/kg body weight to SD rats with high fat diet (HFD). The results were as follows: Sample cheese groups decreased visceral fat mass and adipocyte size of stomach compared to that of HFD group. Additionally, lipid droplets of liver in sample cheese groups were smaller than that in HFD group. The serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (tChol), glucose, leptin, and insulin levels in sample cheese group were lower than that in HFD group. But, the serum adiponectin and HDL-cholesterol (cHDL) levels were higher than that in HFD group. These results suggest that fermentation of red ginseng and Rubus coreanus mixed with cheese might be helpful in preventing obesity in high fat diet-fed rats.

Rubus coreanus is known to have diverse biological properties, such as free radical scavenging activity and antibacterial activity. In the present study, Rubus coreanus leaf and stem extract (RLSE) was used in boar semen preservation whether it has a beneficial effect on assisted reproductive technology (ART) in mammals. Boar spermatozoa were preserved in Beltsville thawing solution (BTS) in the presence of varying concentrations of RLSE (0-10 μg/mL). Sperm motility, sperm viability, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were examined after 2 days of preservation. The percentage of total motile spermatozoa and progressive motile spermatozoa improved in the spermatozoa preserved with 0.5 μg/mL RLSE. Higher proportions of viable spermatozoa were seen in the presence of 0.5 and 1 μg/mL RLSE than in the control. Intracellular ROS levels decreased when the spermatozoa were preserved in BTS with 0.1–1 μg/mL RLSE. In order to examine the bacterial growth, E. coli was added to liquid semen diluted with antibiotics-free BTS in the presence or absence of RLSE. No anti-bacterial activity of RLSE against E. coli was observed during liquid semen preservation. Although there was no inhibition of E. coli growth, the addition of RLSE might help improve sperm motility and viability during boar semen preservation, suggesting it as a potential reagent for ART in mammals.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of lotus root tea (LT) prepared with Gardenia jasminoides powder (GLT) and Rubus coreanus Miquel powder (RLT). The proximate compositions, physicochemical properties, mineral contents, and sensory evaluations of samples were measured. GLT sample showed higher contents of crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, and moisture (p<0.001) as well as pH (p<0.001) compared to LT and RLT. In terms of color, lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of GLT were the highest among the samples, whereas redness (a) of GLT was the lowest. The results of mineral analysis showed that the mineral contents of K, Ca, and Fe of LT were the highest, whereas the content of Mg of GLT was the highest. The results of browning color intensity of all samples showed that LT had the lowest. GLT showed higher contents of water soluble solids than LT and RLT. In the sensory evaluation, the scores of color, flavor, aftertaste, feeling of throat, and overall preference of LT and GLT were significantly higher than those of RLT. From the findings, this study suggests that addition of Gardenia jasminoides powder was effective for preparation of lotus root tea in the aspects of consumer acceptability.

복분자(覆盆子, Rubus coreanus)는 피부노화를 예방하고 고혈압과 동맥경화를 억제해 주는 효과 가 있으며 항암작용과 면역억제작용을 갖는 것으로 보고되었고, 영지(Ganoderma lucidum)는 한방 에서 강장·진해·소종(消腫) 등의 효능이 있어 신경쇠약·심장병·고혈압 등의 치료에 사용한다고 기술 되어있다. 두 소재의 유용성분 활용을 위해 곡물배지(현미, 적미, 흑미)에 복분자 추출물과 부산물을 첨가하여 영지균사의 배양적 특성을 확인하였다. 추출물 농도에 따른 영지균사의 생장율 조사에서는 시험구가 대조구인 곡물배지보다 저조한 생장 을 보였으나 현미에 복분자 추출물 20%를 첨가한 조건에서는 약간 좋은 생장을 보였다. 부산물을 첨가한 조사에서도 시험구가 대조구보다 저조한 생장을 보였으나 현미와 흑미 곡물배지의 경우에는 30%의 부산물을 첨가한 조건에서 균사생장이 가장 양호하였고 적미에서는 첨가농도가 증가함에 따 라 영지균사의 생장이 감소하였다. 본 연구에서는 복분자 추출물을 첨가한 경우 현미(20%), 적미(20%), 흑미(100%) 순으로 균사생장 이 양호하였고, 부산물을 첨가한 경우에는 현미와 흑미는 부산물 30%, 적미는 20%의 부산물을 첨 가한 조건에서 균사생장이 양호하였다. 이중에서 적미에 복분자 부산물 30%를 첨가한 조건에서 영 지균사의 생장이 가장 우수하여 추출물보다는 부산물을 첨가한 조건이 영지균사의 생장이 뛰어난 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Economic injury levels (EILs) and economic control threshold (ET) were estimated for the Tea red spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida(Acari, Tetranychidae) in Rubus coreanus Miquel. T. kanzawai density increased until the early-July and thereafter decreased in all plots except the non-innoculation plot where initial density of the mite were different each 0，5, 10, 20 and 40 adults per plant branch on May 7 in 2008. And the occurrence of the densities were increased higher innoculated density than different innoculation density. The yield was decreased with increasing initial mite density and thereby the rates of yield loss was increased with increasing initial mite density. And T. kanzawai occurrence density, yields and the rates of yield loss, where initial density of the mite were different each 0,2, 5, 10 and 20 adults per plant branch on May 8 in 2009 were similar tendency to 2008 year results. The relationship between initial T. kanzawai densities and the yield losses was well described by a linear regression, Y = 0.6545X + 3.0425 (R<SUP>2</SUP> = 0.93) in 2008, Y = 0.9031X + 2.0899(R<SUP>2</SUP> = 0.96) in 2009. Based on the relationship, the number of adults per plant branch(EILs) which can cause 5% loss of yield was estimated to be approximately 3.0 in 2008 and 3.2 in 2009. And the ET was estimated to be approximately 2.4 in 2008 and 2.6 in 2009. The relationship between initial T. kanzawai densities and occurrence density of mid-May considering the best spray timing against T. kanzawai was well described by a linear regression, Y = 0.471X + 2.495(R<SUP>2</SUP> = 0.95) in 2008, Y = 0.9938X + 3.1858(R<SUP>2</SUP> 二 0.96) in 2009. Based on the relationship, the number of adults per Ieaf(ET) in mid-May which can cause 5% loss of yield was estimated to be approximately 3.6 in 2008 and 5.8 in 2009.

Seasonal occurrence and suitable time of control of Tetranychus kanzawai along with the control efficacy of the alternative use of natural predator and miticide was investigated in Rubus coreanus (Miquel). T. kanzawai appeared in late May with its peak between June and July, and decreased after August in R. coreanus. In Iksan, T. kanzawai estimates show peaks 2~4 times per year during the investigation periods from 2006 to 2008 in R. coreanus fields. Suitable time of control of T. kanzawai was in early to mid May. And control effects of T. kanzawai was improved with an alternated control plot, treating miticides in early-occurrence of T. kanzawai and then releasing the natural predator (Phytoseiulus persimilis Anthias-Henriot). Also, the yields of R. coreanus was highest in the alternated control plot of 638㎏/10a compared to non-treatment of 559㎏/10a.

In this study, 5 species (Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida, Endoclyta excrescens (Butler), leaf roller caterpillar (Adoxophyes orana Fisher), Anomis mesogona (Walker), and Aulacaspis rosae (Bouche)) were found in Rubus coreanus Miquel in Jeonbuk province, from 2006 to 2008. T. kanzawai appeared in mid-May and showed three peaks in late June, mid-July, and late August. Its density was over 10 adults per leaf. A. mesogona appeared in mid-June and showed two peaks in late July, and early October. Of the 28 insect pests in pre-harvesting, the 7 main species were T. kanzawai, T. urticae, A. orana, Lygocoris lucorum Meyer, Frankliniella intonsa (Trybom), Psylliodespunctifrons Baly and Motschulskyia serrata (Matsumura). Of the 19 insect pests in after-harvesting, the 6 main species were T. kanzawai, E. excrescens, A. mesogona, A. orana, P. punctifrons and A. rosae. Growth of R. coreanus decreased when insect pests were not managed and yields decreased approx. 7% a year. Management of insect pests in field using pesticide was not different.

This study was conducted for establishment of Economic injury levels(EILs) of the tea red spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai on Rubus coreanus. T. kanzawai was innoculated on May 7 in differently 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 adults per plant. And pesticide was treated in late April, early May, middle May and late May, respectively. After inoculated of T. kanzawai, the density was increased until the mid-June and decreased gradually in all plots. And higher inoculation density were increased higher than lower inoculation density. Growth variables were not different among experimental plots except number of fruit set, but the number of fruit set and yields were decreased with increasing initial mite density. Densities of T. kanzawai on treated time of pesticide was lower in later treatment time than early treatment time. The late April treatments were not effective of pesticide in harvesting season. The rates of yield loss increased with increasing initial mite density. The relationship between initial T. kanzawai densities and yield losses was well described by a linear regression, Y = 0.6545X + 3.0425, R2=0.9313. Based on the relationship, the number of adults per plant which can cause 5% loss of yield was estimated to be approximately 3.0. And EILs was estimated to be approximately 8.3 adults/leaf in mid-May.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of Bokbunja pudding, using various levels of Bokbunja fruit juice (140, 150, and 130 g), Bokbunja Wine (10, 20, and 20 g), gelatin (18, 17, and 16 g) and sugar (250, 200, and 150 g). In order to establish the optimal added amounts, chemical composition, saccharinity, color, texture, and sensory evaluations were conducted, and the results of various cases were analyzed and assessed. The statistical data analyses were conducted using the SPSS program. The saccharinity of the Bokbunja pudding increased with increasing amountsof added sugar. Additionally, as the amount of added Gelatin was increased, the L values (lightness) of the Bokbunja pudding decreased. Conversely, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values all decreased with decreasing levels of added gelatin and sugar. The optimal mixing condition for the Bokbunja pudding was determined via sensory evaluation. Sensory characteristics, including flavor, sweetness, texture, and overall acceptability, were highest in the type C product. The chemical composition of the type C product was as follows: moisture 71.47%, carbohydrate 24.70%, crude protein 3.83%, crude fat 0.001%, and crude ash 0.001%. According to our results, the optimum mixing ratio for the most satisfactory sensory characteristics of Bokbunja was as follows: Bokbunja fruit juice 130 g, Bokbunja Wine 20 g, Gelatin 16 g, Sugar 150 g, Bokbunja Flavor 0.3 g, and Water 400 g.

Background : Bokbonja the Korean black raspberry (Rubus coreanus Miquel) fruit derived product, which is native to Korea. They contain potential anti-aging, anti-oxidants, depurative activities. Bokbonja refers to an immature berry of Rubus coreanus in the Korean pharmacopeia, Rubus chingii in Chinese pharmacopeia. Recently several Rubus species are available in the Korean drug markets which could easily find their way into drug prescriptions. Methods and Results : Hence we tried to detect the presence of these contaminating species in bokbonja products using SNP marker assisted by multi-plex PCR. We found a SNP region in the 26S region of these species and evaluated their potential to discriminate Rubus species. We designed a set of primer pairs such as, BokR primer has distinguished R.coreanus by producing a band at 852 bp and the primer sanF has differentiated R. crataegifolius by amplifying a band at 129 bp, while chiF has produced a band at 83 bp to distinguish R.chingii. These primer pairs effectively distinguished the bokbonja samples collected from various local markets as well as form drug store in Korea as well. The results were shocking as the bokbonja (R.coreanus) has a limited usage in Korea and either R. crataegifolius or R.chingii has been found in these samples. Taken together the primer pairs bokR, sanF, chiF along with 26S universal primers could effectively distinguish Rubus species in a single multiplex PCR reaction. Conclusion : Our results based on the 26S rDNA derived SNP region have shown that, the usage of R. coreanus is extremely limited and its often mistaken or adulterated with R. crataegifolius and R. chingii. It presses a panic situation in Korean peninsula to preserve bokbonja and the species R.coreanus which is endemic and superior in efficacy.

In the growth of the Rubus coreanus Miquel fruits, the unripened (10 days) and ripened (25 days) fruits after flowering were harvested. The chemical characteristics of different maturational stages of the unripened and ripened fruits were investigated. Total amount of phenolic compounds was 4.00-7.56% in the unripened fruits and 3.78-5.57% in the ripened fruits, respectively. Furthermore, total amounts of organic acids such as malic, citric, succinic, and oxalic acids were 16.40 mg/ 100 g in the unripened fruits and 28.82 mg/100 g in the ripened fruits, respectively. In organic acids of the unripened and the ripened fruits, citric acid (8.76-15.47 mg/100 g) was the highest amount among other organic acids. Soluble sugars were significantly increased from 11.07 to 21.54% in the unripened and ripened fruits. Therefore, ripened fruits had the high levels of phenolic compounds, organic acids and soluble sugars. For the biological studies of R. coreanus, methanol extracts of R. coreanus leaves, fruits, and stems were evaluated for their insecticidal activities against Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Plutella xylostella (Lepioptera: Plutellidae) and Spodoptera litura (Lepioptera: Noctuidae) by leaf dipping method. From these results, the extract of R. coreanus leaves revealed potent insecticidal activity against P. xylostella. However, the methanol extracts of R. coreanus fruits and stems had no any insecticidal activity against M. persicae, P. xylostella and S. litura. The R. coreanus leaves have promising potential as new insecticidal agent against P. xylostella.

Background : ROS produced by oxidative stress damaged endothelial cells, and cause a variety of vascular complications. In diabetic hyperglycemia state, ROS increase. The polyol pathway occur in diabetic complications, the excess glucose is absorbed into the polyol pathway when aldose reductase increased, NADPH changes it to sorbitol. Glutathione (GSH) removes ROS. GSH level is reduced by glutathione reductase, using NADPH as an electron donor. Activation of the polyol pathway decrease NADPH, and GSH also reduced. As a result, ROS is increased. In diabetic hyperglycemia state, Glycolysis increases. Effects of increased glycolysis, protein kinase C (PKC) is increased. NAD(P)H oxidase, stimulated by PKC-dependent pathway, increases ROS in the cell. In this study, we measured the ROS scavenging activity of 5 natural products (Lycii fructus, Astragalus membranaceus, Cassia Tora, Polygonatum odoratum, Rubus Coreanus), to confirm the efficacy as diabetic antioxidants. Methods and Results : We extracted 5 natural product by distilled water and ethanol. DPPH radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in Lycii fructus, Rubus coreanus. ABTS radical scavenging activity was better Rubus coreanus, Lycii fructus, Cassia Tora. In addition to, Rubus coreanus, Cassia Tora, Lycii fructus was comparatively higher reducing power activity than other natural products. And total phenolic and flavonoid contents were much higher in Rubus coreanus compared with other extracts. Conclusion : These results suggest that Lycii fructus, Rubus coreanus can be applied as diabetic antioxidant that prevent vascular complications caused by ROS.
