An efficient method for in vitro propagation and growth of the wild garlic(Allium ochotense Prokh.) was established. Bulbs of wild garlic were collected from Ullung Island, Korea, and the growth pattern of plantlets on various culture media was observed. High growth of shoot was obtained on LP, NN and N6 medium. The growth media supplemented with 3%(w/v) sucrose was found optimal for shoot growth. After 10 weeks multiple shoots were observed in the plantlets growing on the medium containing 1.0 mg/l of zeatine and 0.1 mg/l NAA. Roots were induced directly at the base of the shoot in all treatments. The medium with 2.0 mg/l of IBA proved to be the best rooting medium. The studies of this kind may be used to develop strategies for large-scale propagation of elite wild garlic.

To study effects of wild garlic on components of lipid and protein, blood glucose level, and cholinesterase activity in rat's serum, Sprague-Dawley strain of 40 male rats are divided into 5 groups which are Normal, Control, A, B, and C group. Normal group is fed only Basal diet, and Control group is fed Basal diet and 0.5ml/day of 2.5% cholesterol solution, In addition to a diet of control group, A group is fed 25% wild garlic flour, B group 0.5ml/2day of concentratded wild garlic juice, C group 0.5ml/2day of concentrated ethanol extract of wild garlic, After 8 weesk the rats were fasted for 12 hours, and then decapitated to collect blood. The results of analysis of the rat's serum were summarized as follows, 1. Wild garlic diet, specially ethanol extract has an influence on decreasing the level of total cholesterol and blood glucose in rat's serum, 2. HDL-cholesterol and phospholipid content of rat's serum are increased by wild garlic diet. Therefore I think that wild garlic is good food for preventing development of atherosclerosis and diabetes.

본 연구에서는 고급 산나물로 수요가 증가되고 있는 울릉도 산마늘의 생리활성을 확인하고, 이를 이용한 가공식품 개발을 위해 산마늘 생즙 및 열처리 생즙의 이화학적인 특성과 다양한 생리활성을 조사하였다. 산마늘은 우수한 영양성분을 가지며, 산마늘 생즙은 저장시 10일 이상 색차변화 없이 안정하게 유지되었다. 그러나 산마늘 생즙의 가열 처리시에는 brix, 환원당, total flavonoid의 변화는 미미한 반면, 총당은 25%, total pol
