Whole grain cereal (WGC)-rich diets provide macronutrients that are important for the regulation of energy metabolism. The current study evaluated whether WGCs had a preventive effect on sarcopenic obesity in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. C57BL/6N mice were fed a normal diet (ND), ND+WGC, HFD, and HFD+WGC for 12 weeks. WGCs significantly reduced body weight gain, food efficiency ratio, fat mass, and adipocyte size in HFD-induced obese mice. WGCs attenuated HFD-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by decreasing liver weight and hepatic fat accumulation. In addition, WGCs increased muscle strength and muscle mass in HFD-induced obese mice as well as in ND mice. Taken together, WGCs can be employed as functional food materials for the prevention of sarcopenic obesity by inhibiting fat accumulation and increasing muscle mass.

The Korean rhinoceros beetle, Allomyrina dichotoma (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), has been traditionally used for the treatment of liverrelated diseases. Recently A. dichotoma was registered as a food ingredient in Korea. Given the increasing interest in this beetle, studies on the development of safe and nutritious feed sources for its commercial production are needed. In this study, we compared the effects of by-products on the growth of third instar larvae of A. dichotoma. An abundance of food by-products have been found to serve as an alternative energy source in animal feeds with the reduced cost. We fed third instar A. dichotoma larvae feeds consisting of fermented sawdust with nine different combinations of citrus peel, soybean curd cake, soybean oil meal, and brewers’ dried grain, and measured their effects on growth until the larvae pupated. The highest survival rate was in feed supplemented with 10% of brewers’ dried grain (66.7%). Especially, larvae fed on 10% of brewers’ dried grain were 26% heavier than the control (with no supplement). For the group of 10% brewers’ dried grain, the larval period of third instar was shortened by almost 28 days compared to the control group. Of the experimental and control groups, only the group of 10% brewers’ dried grain showed more than 90% of pupation rate. Therefore, brewers’ dried grain may be sufficiently useful as a source of feed for A. dichotoma.

선박이나 컨테이너로 수출입되는 곡류 및 박류는 검역용 훈증제인 메틸브로마이드(이하 MB)와 인화수소(이하 PH3)를 사용하는데, 처리 온도/수용비/선적방식에 따라 충분한 배기시간을 필요로 한다. 현장에서 배기시간 미설정으로 검역관 및 방제기술자에게 훈증제 TLV(Threshold Limit Value)-TWA(Time Weighted Average) 기준 이상의 농도에 노출될 위험이 있으므로, 소독 전, 후 작업자 안전을 고려하여 각 훈증제 별 작업자 안전기준에 적합한 배기시간이 설정되어야 한다. 따라서, 실내 훈증상에서 곡류(쌀, 대두) 및 박류(대두박, 주정박)를 대상으로 현행 소독처리기준으로 소독 후 탈착되는 가스농도를 측정해 MB 1 ppm, PH3 0.3 ppm 수준 이하로 감소되는 배기시간을 조사하였다. 조사결과 TLV-TWA 기준이하의 수준으로 감소되는데 필요한 배기시간은 주정박/대두박/대두에 MB가 처리된 경우는 모두 30시간, 쌀에 PH3가 처리된 경우는 30분이 소요되는 것을 확인하였다.

지난 19년간(2000~2018.9) 검역현장에서 검출된 해충의 종류는 2,028종이며 150,379회 이다. 이중 곤충은 1,745종으로 86%이며, 딱정벌레목은 검출종 중 740종, 42,4%로 검역적으로 매우 중요하다. 머리대장과(Cucujidae)는 머리대장상과에 포함되고, 검출율은 14.7%로 상위 두 번째 과에 속한다. 특히 Cryptolestes ferrugineus(갈색머리대장), Cryptolestes turcicus(터키모진가슴머리대장), Cryptolestes pusillus(긴수염머리대장)은 딱정벌레목 검출종 중 상위 10위 안에 속해 있는 종으로 검역현장에서 매우 중요시 되고 있는 종이다. 본 연구는 머리대장과 C. ferrugineus(잠정규제), C. turcicus(잠정규제), C. pusillus(비검역), C.pusilloides(관리급)에 대한 외형적 특성과 특징을 소개하고자 한다.

다양한 식재료의 소독재로 사용되는 이산화염소(ClO2)는 이 물질이 갖는 높은 산화력에 기인된다. 이산화염소가 해충에 대한 방제 가능성이 제기되었고, 이에 대한 실증 시험은 이 물질의 살충기작을 증명하여 주었다. 그러나 이 물질의 살충 기작은 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구는 이산화염소의 훈증처리에 따라 곤충 체내에서 일어나는 산화적 스트레스를 항산화효소의 발현 유발에 따라 가능성을 찾았다. 다시 이산화염소를 처리하고 세포내에 존재하는 활성산소(reactive oxygen species: ROS)를 정량화한 결과 ROS의 급격한 증가를 관찰하였다. Vitamin E와 같은 항산화제를 이산화염소와 처리할 경우 살충력은 크게 낮아져 산화적 스트레스에 기인된 살충기작을 뒷받침하여 주었다. 이러한 ROS 유발은 다양한 생리현상을 일으키는 분자를 교란하여 곤충의 신경, 면역, 행동 및 발육 생리를 저해는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 산화적 스트레스에 의해 살충효과를 일으키는 새로운 해충 방제제의 개발을 제시하고 있다.

고추 유래 유전자(CaMsrB2-23)를 도입하여 내건성을 갖도록 형질전환된 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)에 대한 식품안전성 평가를 위해 가뭄저항성벼 종실(현미)의 일반성분, 지방산, 아미노산, 무기질, 비타민 함량 등 영양성분과 항영양소를 분석하였다. 벼는 수원과 군위 2개 지역에서 2013년에 재배하였으며, 가뭄저항성벼와 일미벼 현미는 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분, 조섬유 등 일반성분 함량에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 지방산 조성 및 아미노산 함량이 서로 유사하였다. Agb0103과 일미벼 현미의 무기질 함량은 Na 함량에서 차이가 있었으나 Na를 제외하고 모든 무기질 함량이 유사하였으며 OECD 기준 범위 내에 있었다. 대체적으로 수원에서 재배한 벼 현미의 무기질 함량이 약간 높게 나타나 재배지역간의 환경적 차이가 무기질의 함량에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 두 지역에서 재배한 Agb0103과 일미벼 현미의 비타민 함량은 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 비타민 B 함량이 OECD 자료 범위보다 낮게 나타났다. 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)의 사료용 평가를 위해 지상부(유숙기 잎줄기와 볏짚)에 대한 영양성분을 분석한 결과 조단백질, 조지방, 조회분, 조섬유, ADF, NDF, Ca, P의 함량에서 Agb0103과 모품종벼 간의 차이는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 조사한 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)는 모품종 대비 종실의 주요 영양성분과 항영양소 뿐만 아니라 벼 지상부의 성분분석 비교 결과 실질적 동등성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This study aimed to determine the optimal harvesting time for wheat to make grain silage, in Honam region of Korea. We harvested wheat grain every third day from 30 to 42 days after heading (DAH). The moisture content decreased from 61.6% at 30 DAH to 42.8% at 42 DAH. Yield of wheat grain significantly increased from 30 to 42 DAH (p< 0.05). Yield at 39 DAH (3.46T/ha) was not significantly different from that at 42 DAH (p< 0.05). With respect to the feed value of wheat grain silage, the amount of crude protein, crude fiber, and crude ash was different by harvesting time (p< 0.05). However, the amount of total digestible nutrients (TDN) from 30 and 42 DAH was not significantly different. The pH of wheat grain silage from 30 to 42 DAH was between 3.8 and 4.5 and it was stable until 39 DAH (p< 0.05). The lactic acid content of wheat grain silage from 30 to 42 DAH decreased from 3.08% to 1.10%. With respect to moisture content, yield, feed value, and fermentation, the optimal harvesting time for wheat grain silage was 39 DAH.

Grain-growth behavior in the 95Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-5BaTiO3 (mole fraction, NBT-5BT) system has been investigated with the addition of Na2CO3. When Na2CO3 is added to NBT-5BT, the growth rate is higher than desired and grains are already impinging each other during the initial stage of sintering. The grain size decreases as the sintering temperature increases. With the addition of Na2CO3, a liquid phase infiltrates the interfaces between grains during sintering. The interface structure can be changed to be more faceted and the interface migration rate can increase due to fast material transport through the liquid phase. As the sintering temperature increases, the impingement of abnormal grains increases because the number of abnormal grains increases. Therefore, the average grain size of abnormal grains can be decreased as the temperature increases. The phenomenon can provide evidence that grain coarsening in NBT-5BT with addition of Na2CO3 is governed by the growth of facet planes, which would occur via mixed control.

이산화염소(ClO2)는 높은 산화력으로 여러 미생물의 소독제로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 최근 훈증처리가 가능한 제형으로 개발되면서 이산화염소의 해충 방제 적용 가능성이 제기되었고, 실제로 의학 및 저곡해충에 대한 살충력이 입증되었다. 그러나 기존의 살충제와 다른 형태의 화학 구조를 지닌 이산화염소에 대한 살충기작은 알려진 바가 없었다. 이산화염소에 대한 노출은 곤충으로 하여금 산화적 스트레스를 유발하였다. 이는 항산화효소의 발현이 증가로 이어졌으며, 여기에 항산화제를 처리할 경우 이산화염소의 살충력을 크게 둔감시켰다. 실제로 이산화염소에 노출된 곤충은 체내 활성산소량이 크게 증가하였다. 후속 연구는 곤충 체내로 들어간 이산화염소가 활성산소를 증가시키고 다양한 분자종말점을 변형시켜 신경, 면역, 행동 및 발육 생리를 교란한다는 살충기작 모델을 제시하게 되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of grain size on the damping capacity of the Fe-26Mn-4Co-2Al damping alloy. α’ and ε-martensite were formed by cold working, and these martensites were formed with a specific direction and surface relief. With an increase in grain size, the volume fraction of α’ and ε-martensite increased by decrement the austenite phase stability. This volume fraction more rapidly increased in cold-rolled specimen than in the specimen that was not cold-rolled. The damping capacity also increased more with the augmentation an increased grain size and more rapidly increased in cold-rolled specimen than in the specimen that was not cold rolled. The effect of grain size on the damping capacity was larger in the cold-rolled specimen than the specimen that was not cold-rolled. Damping capacity linearly increased with an increase in volume fraction of ε-martensite. Thus, the damping capacity was affected by the ε-martensite.

Sorghum is a rich source of various phytochemicals including phenolic compounds that have potential to significantly benefit human health. Phytochemical production may be induced not only by genotype but also by a number of environmental factors including temperature and an amount of sunshine. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of planting dates and harvesting stages on the quality traits of ‘Donganme,’ a grain sorghum variety developed to produce high antioxidants. ‘Donganme’ was planted in three locations on four dates from early May to early July. Each planted fraction was harvested 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 days after the head shooting date, respectively. The results showed that significant differences existed between the growth period and content of polyphenol and flavonoid. The sorghum harvested at 35 days after head shooting had the higher polyphenol and flavonoid content in all planting times and the tannin content was increased as the planting date was delayed. So the sorghum grown in late planting dates (July 5) had highest polyphenol content (2.07 gGAE/100g) at early harvesting (35 days) while late planting gave the low grain yield (1.3 ton/ha). Polyphenol index to average temperature during 35 and 45 days after heading of ‘Donganme’ showed that total polyphenol contents were decreased by 5.2% and 4.4%, respectively, with increasing average temperature of 1oC. And high correlation (R=0.85) was observed between accumulated temperature and the amount of polyphenol of ‘Donganme’, confirming the major contribution of the quality traits is temperature. To produce high quality grain from sorghum the relation between the yield and nutrition components must be considered simultaneously (i.e., Sorghum produced the highest polyphenol and flavonoid when planted in June 15 and harvested at 40 to 45 days after head shooting .

This study investigated the surface pit corrosion of SS420J2 stainless steel accompanied by intergranular crack. To reveal the causes of surface pits and cracks, OM, SEM, and TEM analyses of the microstructures of the utilized SS420J2 were performed, as was simulated heat treatment. The intergranular cracks were found to have been induced by a grain boundary carbide of (Cr,Fe)23C6, which was identified by SEM/EDS and TEM diffraction analyses. The mechanism of grain boundary sensitization occurred at the position of the carbide, followed by its occurrence at the Cr depleted zone. The grain boundary carbide of (Cr,Fe)23C6 type precipitated during air cooling condition after a 1038 °C solid solution treatment. The carbide precipitate formation also accelerated at the band structure formed by cold working. Therefore, using manufacturing processes of cooling and cold working, it is difficult to protect SS420J2 stainless steel against surface pit corrosion. Several counter plans to fight pit corrosion by sensitization were suggested, involving alloying and manufacturing processes.

붉은곰팡이는 곰팡이독소를 생성하는 식물병원균으로 수확된 보리 알곡에 잔존하여 저장 중 적절한 환경이 조성 되면 곰팡이독소를 생성할 수 있다. 저장 중 겉보리의 저장온도와 곡물수분함량이 붉은곰팡이와 곰팡이독소 오염에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 전라도에서 수집한 겉보리 시료 3점의 수분함량을 14%와 20%로 조절한 후 온도 조절이 되지 않는 상온창고와 12oC 이하로 온도를 조절한 저온창고에 각각 저장하였다. 창고의 온도와 습도를 실시간으로 측정하면서 1, 3, 6, 12개월 후 시료의 수분함량, 붉은곰팡이와 곰팡이독소의 오염 정도를 조사하였다. 창고의 온·습도 조사결과 상온창고는 월별 평균온도가 최 저 3oC에서 최고 29oC였으며, 평균습도는 58~70% 인 반면 저온창고는 평균온도가 3~13oC 였으며, 평균습도는 62~74% 였다. 시료의 수분함량은 상온창고에서 감소하였으나 저온창고에서는 초기수분함량 14% 시료는 수분함량이 증가하였고, 초기수분함량 20% 시료는 감소하였다. 붉은곰팡이 오염립은 상온창고에서 저장기간이 경과할수록 감소하였으나 저온창고에서는 시료의 수분함량이 높아감 소폭이 적었다. 곰팡이독소는 대부분의 시료에서 저장 12 개월 후에는 상온창고에서 니발레놀이 더 많이 검출되었 으나 1, 3, 6개월에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 따라서 겉보리의 건조가 덜 된 경우 저온창고에 보관하는 것이 붉은 곰팡이의 오염을 줄이는데 효과적이며, 겉보리를 1년이상 장기 저장할 경우 저온창고에 보관해야 니발레놀의 오염을 줄일 수 있다.

In January 2016, Korea began rice exporting to China from six domestic Rice Processing Complexes (RPC). The appearance characteristics and quality of medium-short grain milled rice between the exported Korean rice was compared with Wuchang rice, which is known as high quality in Heilongjiang province in China, and the imported rice from Japan and Taiwan in Chinese circulating marketing. The 1000-grain weight of exported rice is 22.4g, which is similar to that of Chinese Wuchang rice, but it tended to be heavier than that of Japanese and Taiwanese. The rice type is round in exporting Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese rice while Chinese Wuchang rice is thin and long with 2.5. The head rice rate of export rice was 93.3 ~ 98.4%, which was 95.8% on average, which was higher than that of Chinese Wuchang rice, and similar to that of Japanese, and Taiwanese. The protein content of the export rice was 5.2 ~ 6.2%, which was 5.8% on average, similar to that of Chinese Wuchang rice, Japanese and Taiwanese. Amylose content was 18.5% of the exported rice, which was lower than that of Chinese Wuchang rice and slightly higher than that of Japanese and Taiwanese. The whiteness of the exported Korean rice was 35.6 on the average, lower than 41.8 of Chinese Wuchang rice, and lower than that of Japanese and Taiwanese. The purity of rice variety being exported ranged from 87.5 to 100.0%, which was 96.5% on average. This was much higher than that of Chinese Wuchang rice, while the Japanese and Taiwan rices were similar. The sensory test of rice by the experts, cooked rice of the exported was evaluated to be good for all items such as taste, sticky glutinous, and texture compared to Chinese Wuchang rice.

This study was carried out to compare the cooked and antioxidant characteristics with of cooked mixed grain rice with an addition rate (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) of proso millet and various cooking methods. Mixed grain rice with added proso millet was cooked by general and high pressure cooking methods with and without fermented alcohol. All pasting characteristics, except for breakdown viscosity, decreased with increasing the amounts of proso millet. Water binding capacity and swelling power significantly decreased when increasing the amounts of proso millet, however the water solubility index significantly increased. The palatability characteristics of rice with added proso millet showed similar results to rice without proso millet. Total polyphenol contents of rice with 20% proso millet and fermented alcohol added, cooked by general and high pressure cooking methods, were 184.33±2.69 and 179.80±5.22 μg GAE/g, respectively. Total flavonoid contents increased as amounts of proso millet increased. DPPH radical scavenging activities with and without proso millet added were 4.20~7.50 and 2.97~5.19 mg TE/100 g, respectively. ABTS radical scavenging activities with and without proso millet added were 14.36~27.92 and 14.07~15.83 mg TE/100 g, respectively. In this study, cooked and antioxidant characteristics of cooked mixed grain rice with added proso millet were expected to be used as basic data for manufactured processed products.

In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of various grain methanolic extracts against UVB-induced photo-aging in human skin fibroblasts. Various grain methanolic extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant compounds and activities. 2,2-Ddiphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and ABTS 2,2-azino-bris-(3-ethylbenzoth iazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation scavenging activities have been used to measure the relative antioxidant activities of extracts from grains. The content of total polyphenolics in the extracts were evaluated using spectrophotometric methods. Human skin fibroblast (Hs68) cells were pretreated with various grain methanolic extracts (25 μg/mL). Skin toxicity was simulated by exposing the cells to UVB (30 mJ/cm2) irradiation. In response to the UVB-irradiation, an increased amount of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) release was observed, whereas pretreatment of various grain methanolic extracts significantly inhibited the production of MMP-1 in Hs68 cells. We also found that pretreatment of the extracts significantly decreased UVB-induced reactive oxygen species and significantly increased total collagen content in Hs68 cells. These results provide that grains could be regarded as a potential ingredient in natural cosmetics, used for UVB protection.

Worldwide, increasing numbers insecticide resistant insect is one of the main problem in agriculture not only in the field but also in the storage. The rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus is one of the cosmopolitan insect that infests a wide range of stored cereals and related commodities. Until quite recently, phosphine (PH3) has been effective in controlling this species in worldwide including Korea. However, strongly resistant populations of RGB have been detected in Australia that could threaten market access of infested commodities. Resistant populations detected in Australia showed extremely high levels of resistance to phosphine, up to 1300 folds higher than that of susceptible strain. So here we tried to identify their phosphine resistance mechanism based on transcriptome analysis using RNaseq in adult stage. Over 10Gb were sequenced in each strains and some of specific P450 were over expressed in resistance strain.
