Fresh green tea leaf extracts were prepared by different enzyme treatment conditions, such as concentration, treating time and treating temperature using complex enzyme, Rapidase TF, and then extracted for 30 min at $80^{\circ}C$ to investigate their physicochemical properties. The results showed that free sugar content in every sample tended to increase, especially glucose content was increased up to 7.25 times compared to the control. Total amino acid was barely affected by the enzyme treatment and caffeine content was increased with reaction temperature. Total polyphenol and total catechin content was increased according to the amount of enzyme added and reaction temperature. Regardless of enzyme treatment conditions, composition of catechins were epigallocatechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate by descending order of the content. Gallic acid content increased up to 0.04% and $45^{\circ}C$ with no further significant changes thereafter. From the results above, we could conclude that a simple and new method to extract green tea materials directly from fresh green tea leaves with improved extract ratio may be introduced by adding $0.08{\sim}0.1%$ of Rapidase TF to heat treated fresh green tea leaves and keeping temperature at $37{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ for $180{\sim}240\;min$ in order to skip existing complicated procedures.

Green tea has been known to show beneficial effects on alleviating stress. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary green tea on quality of eggs, during storage, laid by laying hens treated with corticosterone in order to mimic the current practice of the egg market. Hens were fed for 2 weeks one of three diets containing green tea at 0.0, 0.4 or 1.0%. Each dietary group was divided into two subgroups receiving corticosterone at 0 or 30 mg/kg for 1 week. Eggs, laid at 5-7 days following the initiation of corticosterone treatment, were stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 1 or 5 weeks and then analyzed for egg quality. After 1 week of storage, egg weight was significantly increased by green tea (p<0.025) but decreased by corticosterone (p<0.0001), but no interaction was observed between both. Corticosterone decreased shell color (p<0.0001) but green tea significantly decreased shell strength (p<0.006). Yolk color, albumen height and Haugh unit were not affected by both treatments. After 5 weeks of storage, corticosterone resulted in reduced egg weight (p<0.01) and eggshell color (p<0.001) and increased shell strength, which were not attenuated by green tea. Taken together, the results of the current study show that dietary corticosterone reduces egg quality during storage, which are attenuated in part by dietary green tea.

The purpose of this study was to find the optimal mixing ratios of Breen tea power and Opuntia ficus indica var. saboten powder for making acorn starch moot The pH, acidity, color values(L-value, redness, and yellowness), texture properties, and sensory characteristics of the acorn starch moot made with varying contents of the additives were measured. The acorn starch mooks were prepared at different ratios using 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%(w/w) green tea powder and Opuntia ficus indica var. saboten powder, respectively, based on 9% acorn starch. The overall optimal ratios that satisfied all the sensory properties of the acorn starch moot were 1.5% green tea power and 0.5% Opuntia ficus indica var. saboten powder. The results suggest that the use of green tea and Opuntia ficus indica var. saboten is valuable for making acorn starch moot of good quality.

Wild grapes contain lots of organic acids, vitamins and inorganic salts compared to other fruits. Also, it has known to have excellent effects on preventing cancer and heart disease. Wild grapes are supposed to be superior material for fermentation of wine. Tannin contents of wine, which is an important functional factor in flavor of wine, were enhanced to develop quality of Korean wild grape wine. In this study, we investigated tannin extraction conditions and analyzed quality properties of tannin-enhanced wild grape wine. The most suitable tannin extraction condition for enhancing tannin of wild grape wine was extraction of tannin from green tea using spirits at 4oC. For producing high quality wild grape wine, added concentration and time of tannin extract were 6.5 mg/mL before wild grape wine fermentation. Tannin contents of tannin-enhanced wild grape wine was $7.4{\pm}0.05\;mg/mL$. Quality properties of tannin-enhanced wild grape wine fermented under optimized fermentation conditions were analyzed. pH, acidity and alcohol contents were $3.69{\pm}0.01$, $0.95{\pm}0.01%$ and $12.2{\pm}0.03%$, respectively. Total sugar, tannin, polyphenol and resveratrol contents of tannin-enhanced wild grape wine were $60.00{\pm}1.15\;mg/mL$, $79.50{\pm}0.55\;mg/mL$, $7.40{\pm}0.05\;mg/mL$ and $5.00{\pm}0.11\;mg/mL$, respectively showing significantly higher value than that of commercial wine. Production of high quality wild grape wine is expected with the establishment of optimum fermentation condition and tannin-enhancing process of wild grape wine.

과거 한국의 식품 오염원 중 법적인 규제 등을 통해 구체적인 통제가 이루어지지 못하고 있는 것이 축산물의 항생제로 알려져 항생제 오 남용으로 인한 내성균의 출현으로 비상이 걸렸던 적이 있었다. 요즘은 항생제를 지나치게 많이 사용해 가축이나 인체 내의 병원성 미생물들이 내성이 생겨 문제가 되고 있어 2011년 7월부터 가축용 사료에 항생제 첨가가 금지하게 된다. 한국은 항생제 내성률 1위로, 2000년 세계보건기구(WHO)에 따르면 대표적 항생제인 페니실린에 대한 폐렴구균의 내성률이 70%로 세계 1위이다. 어느 보고서에 따르면, 축산물 1톤을 생산하는 데 사용되는 항생제가 스웨덴이나 뉴질랜드, 덴마크 등 축산 선진국이 31~44g에 불과한데 비해 한국은 911g에 이른다. 투여 경로는 배합사료에 포함된 양이 54%, 농가의 임의 치료가 40%, 수의사 처방은 겨우 6% 순으로 나타났다. 그러나 OECD 회원국 중 수의사 처방 없이 항생제의 임의 투여를 허용하고 있는 나라는 한국뿐이다. 세계보건기구(WHO)에서는 가축사료에 항생제를 첨가하지 말 것을 권장하고 있으며, 유럽연합(EU)도 항생제는 반드시 수의사의 처방에 의해서만 사용토록 제한하고 있다. 최근 국립수의과학검역원에 의하면, 축산용 항생제 사용량이 2008년에 비해 18%, 2001년에 l해 무려 38%가 감소되었으며, 이중 닭은 20%, 소의 항생제 사용량은 36%가 감소하였다고 밝혔다. 사육 가축들의 항생제 오남용을 줄이기 위해서는 사료에 첨가하는 항생제나 성장호르몬, 비소 투여 등의 투여 대신에 미생물 생균사료나 녹차사료, 한약재사료 등의 천연면역물질을 함유한 사료를 먹여 스트레스를 덜 받고 면역력 증강에 좋은 사료를 먹여 키운 건강한 가축으로 생산한 육류는 맛도 특별히 좋다. 본 자료의 대부분은 금년부터 3년간 농촌진흥청 국립축산과학원과 중국청도농업대학과 "고품질 축산물생산을 위한 중약제를 이용한 질병방지체제 연구"라는 과제로 공동협력연구를 수행하게 됨에 따라 지난 11월 4일부터 10일까지 필자가 중국 청도농업대학을 방문하여 세미나시 발표한 자료임을 밝혀두며, 국내 수의학 연구에도 도움이 되고 저 소개한다.

This experiment was conducted at the affiliated farm of the Suncheon University from 2022 to 2023 to investigate the growth, yield, and quality characteristics of soybeans based on the treatment method of Methyl Sulfony Methane (MSM) for the establishment of stable production practices. In the initial investigation of growth characteristics in 2022, an increasing trend in characteristics such as plant height, stem thickness, and branching index was observed as the treatment concentration increased from 50% to 200%. Yield components also followed the same trend, with the basal fertilization + top dressing 3 times at 200% treatment showing the highest yield at 355 kg·10a^-1, with the highest number of pods. In the subsequent study to determine the optimal concentration exceeding 200% in 2023, growth characteristics showed a trend of 400% > 200% > 800%. The basal fertilization + top dressing 3 times at 400% treatment exhibited the longest plant height (106.7 cm) and the most branches (6). In terms of seed quality, this treatment also had the highest proportion (66.9%) of seeds with a diameter over 6.7 mm. Additionally, in yield components such as pods, seeds per pod, and 100-seed weight, the basal fertilization + top dressing 3 times at 400% treatment showed the highest values, resulting in a maximum yield of 374 kg·10a^-1, representing a 23.4% increase compared to the control. Therefore, for the optimal production of high-quality soybeans, it is recommended to apply the treatment of basal fertilization + top dressing 3 times at 400% concentration, with top dressing occurring at 30-day intervals before harvest.
