To investigate the effects of ozonated water concentration and soaking time on adventitious root formation of willow, we studied the efficiency of root cuttings in the revegetation technology of biological engineering of willows. The ozonated water concentrations were used for 5 minutes and 2 hours at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 ppm by soaking method and then the shoot characteristics were observed. The number and length of adventitious roots were determined. The results indicated that 20 ppm of ozonated water for 2 hours and 1 ppm of ozonated water for 5 minutes resulted in leaves turned wither away and no adventitious root production. Considering the appearance, number and length of the adventitious root, soaking willow cuttings into the ozonated water with dissolved ozone concentration, 5 ppm for 2 hours and 10-15 ppm for 5 minutes were suitable for generating adventitious roots.

This study aims to compare and analyze a willow tree (Salix Koreensis andersson) extract’s antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity by investigating its: total polyphenol, flavonoid content, SOD-like activity, DPPH vitality. the willow tree was induced with LPS to determine its active anti-inflammatory effects. as a result, the willow methanol extract showed a higher total polyphenol and flavonoid content than those of willow distilled water extract, but the willow distilled water extract showed a higher SOD than that of willow methanol extract. in its DPPH scavenging ability, the willow methanol extract’s antioxidant activity was higher than that of the willow distilled water extract. the willow extract’s measurements such as the production of NO, inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-6 measurement) were significantly reduced as its concentration level went down. according to the research outcomes, when induced, he will extract’s macrophage produces mediator-like substances such as NO and inflammatory cytokine that can be used to alleviate the inflammatory response. therefore, the willow tree proved to be a useful raw plant material for the products designed to combat inflammatory activities due to its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory response substances such as NO and cytokine.

수침고목재는 보존을 위해 치수안정화의 공정이 필요하다. PEG는 목재의 치수안정화에 가장 보편적으로 사용된다. PEG 40% 함침 후 동결건조 하는 방법은 간단하고 일반적인 방법중 하나이다. 그러나 PEG처리 후 폐액은 목재로부터 침출된 유기물에 의해서 검게 변하고 악취가 발생하기 때문에 재활용되지 못하고 폐기되었다. 폐액은 과산화수소의 산화작용에 의해 폐액의 검은색은 제거 가능하다. PEG는 보존처리 전, 후와 과산화수소의 산화작용 후에도 그 물성이 변하지 않아 재활용이 가능하다. 과산화수소에 의해 재활용된 PEG를 이용하여 수침고목재의 치수안정화에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 치수안정화에 사용된 용액의 PEG와 재활용 PEG의 비율을 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0:10 (pure PEG : 재활용 PEG)으로 하였다. 그리고 수침고목재를 용액의 농도 10, 20, 30, 40%로 각각 5일간 함침하였다. 모든 시험편은 25%의 중량 증가율을 보였으며, SEM을 이용하여 목재 내부 세포를 관찰한 결과 PEG의 함침은 매우 잘된 것으로 판단된다. 치수변화율은 4%이하로 모든 시료 동일하게 안정된 수치를 나타내어 재활용 PEG를 사용하여 보존처리하는 것은 새 PEG를 사용하는 것과 다르지 않은 결과를 나타내었다.
