As the consumption of corn increases, the production of by-products is also increasing. In this study, functional substances and antioxidant activities of corn by-products were investigated to determine their applicability as functional materials. Total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, and ABTS antioxidant activity were the highest in leaves. The total phenolic acid content was the highest in cobs; p-coumaric and ferulic acid were the main components. Phytosterol content in leaves and stems was high at 64 and 50 days after sowing, 261.4 and 274.7 mg/100 g, respectively. β-sitosterol of the leaves and stems was the highest, 149.2 and 138.7 mg/100 g. The total phytosterol content of grains and by-products harvested 106 days after sowing was in the order of: corn silk, husk, grain, leaf, stem, and cob. Among the phytosterols, β-sitosterol was the highest, followed by stigmasterol and campesterol, and the composition was different depending on part. The total phytosterol content was the highest in husk and corn silk, but the stems and leaves, which account for 50% of the total corn biomass, also contained high phytosterol content. Therefore, corn leaves and stems are expected to be used as functional raw materials for the development of functional materials in the future.

This study was carried out to investigate the flavoral essential oil components in the stems of Agastache rugosa. These components were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass selective detector (GC-MSD). The stems of Agastache rugosa were contained alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, fatty acid esters, and terpenoids. The peak area (%) of estragole was highest among its oil components and the next were pulegone and menthone. The terpenoid alcohols found were 1-octen-3-ol, chavicol, spatulenol, 3-hexen-1-ol, 2-cyclohexen-1-ol, methyl eugenol, and octaethyllene glycol. The stems also contained ketones such as pulegone, menthone, cis-isopulegone, 2-cyclohexene-1-one, 3-octanone, 1-cyclohexanone, isoindole-1- one, t-ionone, inden-2-one, as well as the aldehydes of 4-methoxycinnam and benzaldehyde. The following esters were also detected 1-isopulegone-3-yl acetate, caryophyllene oxide, acetate and benzendicarboxylic acid ester. The terpenoids in the stems were identified as caryophyllene, limonene, cyclohexasiloxane-D, germacrene-D, anethole, cadinene, muurolene, and bourbonene. Overall Agastache rugosa contained several functional oil components including phenylpropanoids and terpenoids as flavoral essential oil components for natural aromatherapy.

본 연구에서는 다른 광환경에서 자란 긴산개나리(Forsythia saxatilis var. lanceolata) 줄기와 잎의 항산화물질 함량 및 활성을 분석하여 기능성 신소재로 활용하기 위한 기초자료를 마련 하고자 수행하였다. 삽목 후 3년생인 긴산개나리를 무작위로 채취하여 부위별로 분석한 결과, 긴산개나리 잎의 항산화물질 함량은 총 안토시아닌 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량, 총 페놀 함량이 각각 68.8mg CGE/100g FW, 7405.0mg CE/100g FW, 4231.2mg GAE/100g FW로 줄기보다 높았으며, 항산화 활성 또한 294.3mg VCE/100g FW로 줄기보다 높은 것으로 조사되 었다. 이에 따라 긴산개나리의 항산화물질 함량과 활성간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 총 안토시아닌은 다른 요인 간의 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 총 플라보노이드와 총 페놀은 서로 간에 0.05 유의수준 내에서 r=0.753으로 양의 높은 상관관계를 가지며, 총 플라보노이드와 총 페놀은 항산화 활성인 DPPH radical 소거활성과 0.05 유의수준 내에서 각각 r=0.753, 0.698 로 높은 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 조사되었다. 이를 통해 긴산개나리의 총 페놀은 대부분 총 안토시아닌보다 총 플라보 노이드로 구성된 것으로 판단되고, 이러한 총 플라보노이드와 총 페놀이 항산화 활성에 기여하는 것으로 판단된다. 서로 다른 광환경에서 삽목 후 3년동안 생육한 긴산개나리의 부위별 항산 화물질 함량 및 활성을 분석한 결과, 총 안토시아닌, 총 플라보 노이드, 총 페놀은 반음지(42.83μmol･m-2 ･s-1 PPFD)보다 양지 (788.39μmol･m-2 ･s-1 PPFD)에서 생육한 긴산개나리의 잎에서 함량이 높은 것으로 조사되었으며, 항산화 활성도 반음지보다 양지에서 생육한 긴산개나리의 잎에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. 광환경에 따라 긴산개나리의 엽록소 함량을 조사한 결과, 엽록소 함량 또한 양지에서 생육한 긴산개나리 잎에서 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 이를 통해, 페놀화합물과 vitamin C 는 광합성 과정 중 합성되는 물질이기 때문에 반음지보다 광량이 많은 양지에서 생육한 긴산개나리의 잎이 항산화물질 함량과 활성이 높은 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 긴산개나리는 줄기보다 잎에 항산화물질 함량 및 활성이 높아 천연항산화제로서 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 특히, 양지에서 생육한 긴산개나리의 잎이 반 음지에서 생육한 것보다 항산화물질 및 활성이 높기 때문에 기능성 소재로서 잠재적 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to optimize the extraction conditions (time, pH, and temperature) for water-soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and solids from Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) stems and to evaluate the functionality of the optimized extract. The maximum extraction yield was obtained when 100% distilled water was used, indicating that ethanol hampered the extraction. The extraction yields were lower at higher temperatures and lower pHs. The maximum extraction of SDF (27.92%) and solids (5.6 g) was achieved with a 7-h extraction at 50oC and pH 7.0, with desirability being 0.958. The stem extract obtained under the optimum extraction conditions had an antioxidant capacity of 118.10 mg vitamin C equivalents (VCE) using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. In a medium containing 30% extract, the growth of E. coli was reduced by 34%, while that of B. cereus was reduced by 23%. These results suggest that OFI stems can be used as a functional resource.

Actinidia arguta (Actinidiaceae), which is commonly referred to as hardy kiwifruit, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antioxidative properties. The protective effect of the leaves and stems of A. arguta against amyloid β protein (Aβ) (25-35)-induced cultured neuronal cell death and memory impairment was investigated in the current study. Exposure of cultured cortical neurons to 10 μM Aβ (25-35) for 24 h induced significant neuronal death as assessed by a 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and Hoechst 33342 staining. However, A. arguta (10 and 50 μg/ ml) prevented Aβ (25-35)-induced apoptotic neuronal death in cultured cortical neurons. A. arguta also inhibited the 100 μM H2O2-induced decrease of the MTT reduction rate in cultured neurons. Memory impairment was produced by intracerebroventricular microinjection of 15 nmol Aβ (25- 35) and examined using the passive avoidance test in ICR mice. Chronic treatments with A. arguta (50 and 100 mg/ kg, 14 days, p.o.) significantly prevented memory impairment induced by Aβ (25-35), and A. arguta inhibited the Aβ (25-35)-induced increase of cholinesterase activity in the brains of memory impaired mice. These results suggest that A. arguta might be able to inhibit Aβ (25-35)-induced neuronal death and memory impairment via antioxidative and anti-cholinesterase effects and that A. arguta could have a therapeutic role for preventing the progression of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease.

This study was conducted to understand damage effects of Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) on the seedlings of Evergreen Oak (Quercus acuta) with the cutting of main stems before planted at Jeju Experimental Forests. Six plots in size of 20 × 20 m had been setup from the middle to the end of March, 2007, and planting after cutting the main stems of seedlings had been conducted to increase survival rate of the seedlings, and we monitored experimental and control plots to know the damage effects of the deers. Experimental plots were designed at the width of 3 m fields after clear-cutting, and they was adjacent with the buffer zone in size of 2 m covered with vegetation covers. Seedlings were planted at interval of 1 x 1 m, they were at 8 rows and 20 lines per plot. Two rows among them had been treated as half cutting at main stems. Total 647 seedlings had been planted, 168 seedlings were belong to half cutting's plots and 479 were to control plots. As a result, half cutting did not increase the survival rate of seedlings, and it increases the ratio of deer damage. Damaged seedlings showed significantly the lower height than undamaged did. Therefore, it would indicate that planting the seedlings over 90 cm in height would decrease the damage from deer at study areas. And, we suggest the damage factors on Quercus acuta as apical bud grazing, bark rubbing, and leaf grazing, we made the flow chart to decide the damage factors in the field.

본 연구에서는 α-glucosidase 저해활성이 우수한 천연 자원을 개발하기 위하여 개똥쑥으로부터 천연 물질을 분리·동정하고 분리된 물질에 대하여 α-glucosidase 저해활성을 측정하였다. 개똥쑥 잎과 줄 기의 chloroform층과 ethyl acetate층으로부터 각각 6개와 5개의 화합물을 분리하였다. 분리한 화합물 중 chloroform층으로부터 분리된 ArteCA(M.W. 316g/mol, C16H12O7)는 isorhamnetin, ArteCB(M.W. 360g/mol, C18H16O8)는 chrysosplenol D, ArteCC(M.W. 316 g/mol, C16H12O7)는 rhamnetin, ArteCD (M.W. 374g/mol, C18H16O8)는 chrysosplenetin, ArteCE(M.W. 284g/mol, C21H20O12)는 acacetin 그리 고 ArteCF(M.W. 270g/mol, C16H14O4)는 imperatorin으로 확인되었다. 한편 EtOAc층으로부터 분리된 ArteEAA(M.W. 178g/mol, C9H6O4)는 6,7-dihydroxy coumarin, ArteEAB (M.W. 192g/mol, C10H8O4) 는 scopoletin, ArteEAC (M.W. 448g/mol, C21H20O11)는 kaempferol-3-O-b-D-glucoside, ArteEAD (M.W. 464 g/mol, C21H20O12)는 quercetin-3-O-b-D-glucoside 및 ArteEAE(M.W. 318g/mol, C15H10O8)는 myricetin으로 확인되었다. 이 중에서 ArteEAE(myricetin)는 α-glucosidase에 대하여 97.3%의 높은 저해활성을 가지고 있었으므로, 혈당조절용 건강식품 또는 치료제 개발을 위한 물질로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

마늘종의 통상적인 조리방법 중 하나인 볶음 조리시 처리 시간(0, 1, 3, 5, 7분)을 달리하여 물리적인 특성 및 주요 성분의 함량 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 마늘종의 볶음 처리시 색의 변화가 없는 시간은 3 분 정도이며 5분까지는 고유 색택을 크게 손상시키지 않았고, 조직 감은 볶음 시간이 길어짐에 따라 경 도, 탄력성, 씹힘성, 검성, 응집성 모두 생시료 대비 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 볶음 처리에 따른 마늘종의 성분 중 총 페놀화합물의 함량은 볶음 시간이 길어질수록 증가하였고, flavonoid 함량은 볶음 처리 3분까지는 증가하지만, 그 이후부터는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 총당도 유사한 경향이었다. Vitamin C, chlorophyll, pyruvate 및 thiosulfinate는 볶음 시간이 길어질수록 함량이 감소하였다. 마 늘종의 성분 변화를 최소화하기 위해서는 단시간에 조리하는 것이 바람직한데, 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 3분 이내로 볶음 처리하는 것이 마늘종의 물리적인 특성을 유지하면서도 주요성분을 섭취하기에 적정한 것으로 판단된다.

This study proposes how to teach aspectual derivations of the verb in the Russian language based on the prefixation and suffixation. The author argues that for the intermediate/advanced learners the traditional aspectual pair system needs to be replaced by the aspectual cluster system and the derivations of the imperfective verbs through the suffixation needs to be taught based on the classification of the infinitives. The hierarchical structure of verb stem in Russian is as follows: superlexical prefixes (po-, etc.) > -yva- > superlexical prefixes (ot-, etc.) > intermediate prefixes (do-, pere-) > -nu-/-a- > lexical prefixes > stem. The study also proposes that the syntactic structure needs to contain the split AspPs (PerfP1 > ImpfP > PerfP2 > PerfP3) outside of the vP and another AspP inside the vP in order to derive the above-mentioned hierarchical structure.

고온기 시설내에서 토마토를 재배할 때 최적의 측지관리방법을 구명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 유니콘(몬산토 코리아, 한국)을 접수로, B-블로킹(다끼이종묘, 일본)을 대목으로 접목한 방울토마토 접목묘를 실험에 사용하였다. 배지는 코이어 자루배지를 사용하였고, 급액은 타이머 제어법으로 제어하였다. 측지를 전부 제거한 처리(ACUT), 화방 아래 측지의 잎을 2매 남기는 처리 (PCUT) 및 모든 측지의 잎을 2매 남기는 처리(LEFT) 등 모두 3가지 방법으로 처리하였다. 연구결과, 토마토의 영양과잉으로 인한 이상경 발생시에는 측지를 유지하여 영양생장으로 많은 에너지가 사용되도록 하면 해결되는 것으로 나타났으며, 적절한 측지관리로 작물의 생장 상도 재배자의 요구에 맞게 조절할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 본엽과 측지의 잎들에 대한 광합성 속도는 차이가 없었으며, 처리에 따른 엽면적의 차이만 있었다. 따라서 처리간 엽면적의 차이에 의해 광합성 산물 총량의 차이가 발생하고, 이는 수확량에 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 고온기 토마토 재배에서 5단 이하의 단기밀식재배의 경우에는 측지를 모두 제거하는 것이 수확량과 수확속도에 효과적이었으나, 5단 이상의 장기재 배에서는 모든 측지의 잎 2매를 남겨서 관리하는 것이 작물의 생육과 수확량에 효과적이었다.

The purpose of this study was to identify HACCP-based CCP and CP from the microbial quality assessment on the process of side dish (stir-fried dried-shrimp with garlic stems) production in the meal service operation for the elderly. Total plate counts (TPC) of fresh garlic stalks were 7.80×103 CFU/g and they were above the standard value of microbial growth potential. The TPC, Coliform and E.coli were not detected in the dried shrimps. The TPCs after rinsing and slicing the garlic stems were 2.5×102 CFU/g and 5.5×102 CFU/g, respectively. The TPC number of cook’s hand and cutting board were also exceeded the standard limit with values of 2.2×102 CFU/g and 10.0×10 CFU/g, respectively. However, the TPC, Coliform and E.coli were not detected in the other cooking instruments. The identified CCP in inspection step was fresh garlic stems and that of prepreparation step was slicing the stems after blanching. Cook’s hand and cutting board were also verified as CCP and the other steps in cooking process and utensils tested were identified as CP’s. These result’s suggest that it is important to control the microbial contamination of raw materials at purchasing step and the sanitary education program should be developed for the employees for continuous supplement of safe and sound meal service for the elderly.

When root initiation ratio of cut Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) stems was examined in several medium conditions containing different IBA concentration, the higher IBA contration of medium was elucidated superior then lower IBA concentration.

Chrysanthemum boreale Makino (C. boreale) is widely distributed in Asian countries, and has traditionally been used to treat various inflammatory diseases including bronchitis. In this study, we aimed to isolate biologically active compounds from leaves and stems of C. boreale. Chemical components were purified by column chromatograpy and recyclic HPLC, and characterized from their spectral data (IR, MS, NMR). Biological activity experiments were conducted for Farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) activity, apoptosis and nitirc oxide (NO) release. As a results, three sesquiterpene lactones were isolated. Compound 1 (4-methoxy-8-O-acetyl-10-hydroxy-2,11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed strong cytotoxic activities having an average growth inhibition of 50% (GI50) value of 1.89 ㎍/㎖against human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Compound 1 also showed a low half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 10 ㎍/㎖ for NO release. In the caspase 3 activity, compound 1 and compound 2 (8-O-(2-carbonyl-2-butyl)-3,10-dihydroxy-4,11(13) -guaiadiene-12,6-olide) exhibited 94% and 90% apoptosis inhibition activity, respectively. Compound 3 (4,8-O-diacetyl -10-hydroxy-2(3),11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed a strong inhibitory effect on FPTase activity with 90% inhibitory activity at a concentration of 100 ㎍/㎖. These results clearly show the presence of lactone compounds in the leaves and stems, which may partially contribute to the pharmacological activity of C. boreale.
