Dermanyssus gallinae is parasitic to chicken, and they cause many damages such as disturbing sleep reducing for body weight and egg production by blood-sucking. To develop acaricide against D. gallinae, The acaricidal activity of 40 species plant extract were examined. Cnidium officinale extracted by Me-OH showed 82.0% acaricidal activity after treated 48 hrs at 4,000 ppm. The hexane fraction showed 92.4% mortality against D. gallinae at 48 hrs at 2,000 ppm. Purification of the biologically active constituents from the hexane extraction with acaricidal activity was done using silica gel open column chromatography and HPLC. H1122 fraction gave 80.9% mortality to D. gallinae at 400 ppm after treated 48 hrs. H1122 fraction was analyzed by GC-MS and NMR.

An analysis of changes in herbal tea composition according to the difference in processing conditions showed slightly reduced crude protein content and increased, moisture, crude fat and solid elution rate after treatment using the ash puffing process compared to roasting. Benzopyrene content was significantly reduced to 0.18 ppb from 0.51 ppb. This result indicated that, the B(α)P content differed depending on the processing condition and raw materials. Generation of food B(α)P is mainly include the thermal decomposition of food cooking, when the processing which is a main component of food carbohydrate, protein, fat reason despite severe heat treatment as a whole is to be detected even though the B(α)P in this way is considered to be. The taste, aroma and color did not show a large difference, but the strong bitters taste decreased.

This study compared the nutritional composition and antioxidative activities of different parts (aerial part and root) of Taraxacum coreanum and Taraxacum officinale. To identify the nutrient composition of different parts of Daedelion species, nutrient contents were analyzed. Crude ash, protein, and fat contents of T. coreanum and T. officinale were higher in the aerial part compared to the root. There was no significant difference in crude ash, protein, or carbohydrate content of the aerial part depending on the Daedelion species. Aerial part contents of vitamin A, E, and C were significantly higher in T. coreanum than T. officinale. The K content of the aerial part of T. coreanum and T. officinale was highest, although there was no significant difference among Daedelion species. Contents of oxalic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid in the aerial part of T. coreanum were highest. Contents of total polyphenols, total flavonoids, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the aerial part were significantly higher in T. coreanum than T. officinale. In conclusion, the aerial part of T. coreanum and T. officinale could be used as antioxidative functional food sources.

본 연구는 추출용매에 따른 천궁(Cnidium officinale Makino) 추출물의 생리활성 평가를 통 해 기능성 화장품으로써의 활용 가능 여부를 확인하였다. 추출수율은 에탄올, 열수, 메탄올 추출물 순으 로 나타났다. Xanthine oxidase 저해활성 실험에서는 1,000 ㎍/mL이상의 농도에서 추출용매간의 유의 적 차이가 나타났으며 에탄올 및 메탄올 추출물이 XO 저해활성능이 열수추출물에 비해 상대적으로 높 았다. DPPH radical 소거활성을 분석한 결과 50 ㎍/mL에서 2,000 ㎍/mL으로 농도가 증가함에 따라 에탄올 및 메탄올 추출물은 각각 19.96~89.01% 및 19.41~88.21%로 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 추출용 매에 따른 SOD 유사활성능은 모든 시료에서 농도 의존적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Elastase 및 collagenase 저해 활성능은 추출물 농도가 100 ㎍/mL 이상일 때 에탄올 및 메탄올 추출물의 활성이 유 의적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Tyrosinase 저해활성의 경우 추출농도가 500 ㎍/mL 이상의 경우 에 탄올 및 메탄올 추출물의 경우 유의적으로 tyrosinase 저해활성이 급격하게 증가하였다. 되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 천궁추출물이 미백 및 주름개선의 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되며 향후 기능성 화장품 소재로 서의 이용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

한방차의 roasting 온도를 80∼140℃ 범위로 하여 성분 변화를 분석한 결과, 온도의 상승에 따라 수분함량이 감소하고 일부 탄화가 발생하며 조 회분 함량이 소폭 상승하였고, 조 지방 및 조단백질 함량은 소폭 감소하였다. 한방차의 고형분 용출율은 0.15~0.32%(w/w)를 나타내었는데, roasting 온도가 상승할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 처리온도가 80∼110℃구간에서는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않은 반면 110∼140℃구간에서는 고형분 용출율이 급격히 감소하였다. 온도가 상승할수록 용출율이 감소하는 것은 내부 조직이 치밀하여 상대적으로 용출이 어렵기 때문이다. 벤조피렌 함량은 0.29~0.51ppb으로 온도가 높을수록 B(α)P함량이 증가하였다. 처리온도와 원재료에 따라 B(α)P 함량에 차이가 발생하며, 내부온도는 약 200℃정도지만 roaster 표면의 실제 온도는 약 2000℃에 이르는데 표면과 접촉한 부분에서 B(α)P가 생성된다. B(α)P는 주로 음식을 조리, 가공할 때 식품의 주성분인 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방 등이 열분해 되어 생성되는 것으로 생각된다.

신선한 암퇘지의 막창부위에 지방을 제거하고 파쇄기로 잘게 부수어 가열하지 않은 것과 100˚C의 autoclave에서 10분간 가열한 것에 분쇄한 생강을 1, 5 및 10%가 되게 첨가하여 polyethylene film으로 1차 포장한 후 알루미늄 호일로 2차 포장한 다음 5˚C에서 보관하면서 품질의 변화를 관찰하였다. 저장 중 pH는 첨가구 사이의 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 가열한 막창이 다소 낮은 값을 나타내었다. TBA가는 각각 0.1 mg/kg과 0.25 mg/kg으로 가열 막창이 생막창보다 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 두 처리구에서 모두 생강의 첨가가 TBA-value의 상승을 억제시켜 저장성을 연장시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 휘발성 염기질소의 함량은 생강의 첨가로 감소하였으며, 30~40 mg%의 초기부패 판정기준을 고려할 때 생막창은 5˚C에서 4일, 가열막창은 6일 이내에 소비하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다. VBN 함량을 기준으로 10% 생강의 첨가는 가열막창의 저장기간을 4일 가량 연장시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Currently, the storage temperature of the production factory of medicinal herbs (hGMP) is about 5~ 12℃. This temperature is possible to suppress pest but can not kill the pests. For this reason, we need to lower the temperature during lethal time because the pest has often occurred inside the packaging of medicinal herbs in the distribution process in summer. In order to solve this problem, we have investigated the lethal time of the storage insect(Tribolium castaneum Herbst) After we froze medicinal herbs(Cnidium officinale Makino and Angelica gigas N. ) at approx. –70℃ and –15℃ respectively. We then investigated the change of bioactive components and exterior characteristics of medicinal herbs in order to determine whether there is a change of quality. The results were as follows. The lethal time of Tribolium castaneum Herbst is about 2 minutes if processed at approx. –70℃, while the other time is about 16 minutes at approx. –15℃. We investigated the change of quality after the treatment of the two medicinal herbs in the similar way but could not confirm the difference of color and brightness and the bioactive components on statistics. Through this research, it has been verified that the process of quick freezing for pest control can not affect the main quality of the medicinal herbs. Therefore this technology can be introduced in the manufacturing process of medicinal herbs through additional research.

We divided the sample into four groups by temperature regimes and comparing the Lethal effect after exposure to high room temperatures for 50~58 days. After inoculating Cnidium officinale Makino with Tribolium castaneum Herbst, the storage insects of medicinal herbs, was 20 respectively. The results of treating cut Cninium officinale Makino are listed below. Survival rate of group A by exposure of 5 times at 35~36.5℃ is less than 7.5%. Survival rate of group C by exposure of 5 times at 35.5~39.5℃ and group D by exposure of 23day at 37~44℃ is less than 2.5%. Especially in the case of group D, we found that complete eradication of the insect is difficult despite exposure high temperature for a long time. Also most of the grinded Cninium officinale Makino has the same patten but group B by relatively treated low temperature has a significant difference in mortality. Insect mortality in cut Cninium officinale Makino by exposure at 35℃ and 39.5℃ is 7.5% and the insect mortality in grinded Cninium officinale Makino by exposure at 39. 5℃ is only 75%. The reason is estimated that heat conduction of grinded Cninium officinale Makino is slow and it was less shocked by heat because The final core temperature of medicinal herbs is relatively low about 0.5~2℃. This means that storage insect(Tribolium castaneum Herbst) can be suppressed at mid-high temperature if it is to be treated more than 50 days without problem of quality deterioration of medicinal herbs that can be caused by high temperature.

팽화 처리온도를 각각 140~220℃로 한 한방차 제품의 성분변화를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 처리온도의 상승에 따라 일부 탄화가 발생하며 조회분 함량이 상대적으로 상승하는 소폭의 변화가 있었고, 조단백질 및 조지방 함량은 거의 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 수분함량은 감소하였다. 한방차의 고형분 용출률은 0.18~0.27%(w/w)로 나타내었는데, 팽화온도가 상승할수록 증가하였다. 고형분의 용출은 온도가 화학적 변화보다 물리적 변화에 의해 식품의 원재료 성분인 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방 등이 천연 상태에서 상호가교 결합이 물리적인 힘으로 어느 정도 파괴되어 성분의 용출이 용이해지기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 벤조피렌 함량은 0.18~0.24ppb로 처리온도, 원재료에 따라 B(α)P 함량에 차이가 발생한 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the antioxidant effect of Taraxacumofficinale on the qualitycharacteristics of Yugwa during storage. Total polyphenol content was higher than total flavonoid content. DPPH radical scavenging activity and antioxidative index of Taraxacum officinale ethanol extracts were significantly (p<0.05) lower compared with those of Vit.C, whereas they were similar with those of BHA. The L, a, and b levels of Yugwa significantly (p<0.05) decreased with increasing amount of Taraxacum officinale powder; 6% Taraxacum officinale powder showed the lowest L and b levels. Hardness was unaffected by Taraxacum officinale content during the storage period. Brittleness of Yugwa was significantly (p<0.05) lower in control, 1.5%, and 6% Taraxacum officinale powder, whereas 3% Taraxacum officinale powder showed no significant differences during storage. Peroxide value significantly decreased in 3% and 6% Taraxacum officinale powders compared to those of control and 1.5% Taraxacum officinale powder after 4 weeks of storage. Taste, flavor, and crispness showed significant (p<0.05) differences according to Taraxacum officinale concentration. In conclusion, addition of 3~6% Taraxacum officinale powder provides beneficial effects in terms of storage life of Yugwa without any detrimental effects on quality characteristics.

This study was conducted to demonstrate quality characteristics of ginger by making aged ginger( AG) with two methods, the frist method was that ginger was aged at constant temperature and humidity chamber for the duration of 10, 20 and 30 days, and the other method was drying the ginger just after steaming it for 3 hours. As the age was being processed, the volume of ginger’s appearance decreased rapidly and its color seemed to be darker because of the decrease in moisture. In the case of general components, the content of crude ash was depended on aged periods while the content of crude fat was independent with aged periods, and according to the content of crude protein, there was not any significant differences. The main valuable ingredient which is 6-gingerol showed the decreasing trend as it was exposed to heat with more time, and 6-shogaol which is also one of the main valuable ingredients showed high content at T-II(AG-10days). Free sugar and free amino acid of AG decreased as aged period goes by, and this study found that there were lots of essential amino acid (threonine, glutamic acid, alanine, valine, leucine and tyrosine) in ginger. The amount of unsaturated fatty acid of AG was significantly higher than the amount of saturated fatty acid of AG with the approximate ratio of 60:40, and the amount of free fatty acid of AG did not seem any big differences between AG and none AG. Considering both valuable ingredients and nutritive components, T-I (steamed ginger, SG) and T-II which was aged for 10 days were evaluated excellently.

The study indicated that antimicrobial activity about gram positive and gram negative bacteria of ginger-oleoresin(GO) extract with the condition of ethanol and supercritical fluid extractions. As the concentration of extraction increases, the clear zone of GO ethanol extract also increased dependently. This led the antimicrobial activity of gram positive bacteria to take bigger place than gram negative bacteria especially in Listeria monocytogenes. There was a high antimicrobial activity in E-III treatment where the ratio of the ginger powder extract to ethanol extraction was 1:6. It was quite effective to treat the antimicrobial activity of GO ethanol extract under 80oC and there was not big difference in the intervals which were the extraction time - 1 to 7 hours. The antimicrobial activity of supercritical fluid extract seemed to take the biggest place in Listeria monocytogenes. From the supercritical fluid extract, it was shown the strong ability of antimicrobial activity in the condition with 100 bar 35oC, 250 bar 35oC and 250 bar 65oC. Furthermore, according to the case of solvent extract, there was not any significant difference in the antimicrobial activity with condition of extraction. However, there was significant antimicrobial activity in E-III treatment of 100 bar and 500 bar of extraction pressure, and 35oC and 65oC of extraction temperature.

In order to optimize the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) conditions of ginger oleoresin (GO), we conducted an evaluation of quality properties such as yield (%), color, volatile flavor compounds and gingerol components. The extraction yield gained by SFE increased as extraction pressure and temperature increased. The highest yield was 8.96 ± 0.68% at 500 bar 65℃ extraction condition. The total color difference (ΔE) values decreased at high pressure. In case of the 100 bar pressure conditions, ΔE-values increased as the temperature went up. The analysis of the 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, 6-shogaol and curcumin contents decreased at high temperature conditions of identical pressure and increased at high pressure conditions. The volatile flavor compounds were detected in zingiberene,β-sesquiphellandre, β-phellandre, αγ-curcumene, 2,3-butandiol, β-bisabolene and so on. Also volatile component contents showed difference in each of extraction conditions.

The toxicity of materials derived from rhizome of Cnidium officinale Makino to adults from B and Q biotype of Bemisia tabaci was examined using a leaf-dipping bioassay. Results were compared with those of two currently used insecticides: acetamiprid and thiamethoxam. The active principles of C. officinale rhizome were identified as butylidenephthalide (1), ligustilide (2), and 3-butylphthalide (3) by spectroscopic analysis. These compounds exhibited 100% mortality against both B and Q biotype adults at 2.5 mg/ml. At a concentration of 1.25 mg/ml, butylidenephthalide produced 88 and 92% mortality against B and Q biotype adults, respectively. 3-butylphthalide showed 100 and 89% mortality against B and Q type adults, respectively. Ligustilide exhibited 97 and 100% mortality against B and Q type adults, respectively. The toxicity of these compounds to B type adults was almost equal to that of thiamethoxam and acetamiprid, whereas two insecticides exhibited 40% mortality to Q biotype. C. officinale rhizome-derived materials merit further study as potential insecticides for the control of B. tabaci populations due to global efforts to reduce the level of highly toxic synthetic pesticides.

The effects of vinegar, alcohol and ascorbic acid on the color, microorganism, sensory properties and flavor pattern of minced ginger (MG) were investigated during storage for 28 days at 30℃. The values of L (lightness),a (redness) and b (yellowness) of the control (T-0) and all the treatments changed slightly at the initial stage of storage, however the elapse of time accelerated the changes. The total bacterial counts of T-0 showed 5.37 × 107CFU/g at the initial stage, but the MG-treatments decreased the bacteria above 4 log compared to T-0. It was showed that the additives were effective for inhibition of the growth of microorganism. Sensory properties of flavor intensity test showed no significant difference between T-0 and MG-treatments (p < 0.05). The result of volatile flavor contents of electronic nose analyzer (ENZ) showed that MG-treatments (T-I, T-II, T-III) was recognized stronger than non-treatment at the initial stage, but the change of flavor compound were stabilized soon regardless of type or quantity of additives during total storage period at 30℃.

As an attempt to develop new functional health beverage by using medicinal herb, green ginger(Zingiber officinale Roscoe), we investigated the effect of Zingiber officinale on blood pressure and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) of rats with Zingiber officinale extracts. Zingiber officinale extract increase rCBF significantly. The drink produced consisted of Zingiber officinale extract 1.825%, maltitol syrup 17.0%, citric aicd 0.06%, ascorbic acid 0.02%, stevioside 0.001%, ginger flavor 0.11% and water. Brix, pH and acidity of product were 13.7, 4.4 and 0.09, respectively. This drink had good score by the sensory evaluation. The above results showed that development of such functional beverage using Zingiber officinale can used as a functional material improving blood circulation in beverage industry.
