Sweet corn is widely consumed due to its high nutritional content and diverse phytochemical composition, including carotenoids and phenolic compounds, which have several benefits for human health. This study aims to identify breeding materials for developing high-functional sweet corn varieties by evaluating the phytochemical and antioxidant activities of 37 Korean sweet corn inbred lines. The results revealed genetic variation in various components, such as carotenoid content (range of 120.7~1239.3 mg 100 g^-1), polyphenol content (490.5~740.6 mg gallic acid equivalent 100 g^-1), and flavonoid content (7.3~68.6 mg catechin equivalent 100 g^-1). In addition, the free radical scavenging capacity, measured using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), also varied among the inbred lines. Therefore, in this study, we identified Korean sweet corn inbred lines with high phytochemical content and excellent antioxidant activity. The development of sweet corn varieties with improved functionality is expected to further expand the role of sweet corn as a source of antioxidants in the Korean diet.

This research old age chestnut tree that loss function chestnut leaf renewal efficiency enlargement and development of cosmeceutical product by purpose. Chestnut leaf (CL) exhibits numerous pharmacological effect including anti-allergy and anti-microbial properties. However, the anti-wrinkle effect of CL is not completely understood. In this study, to find a possible explanation for the anti-wrinkle effects of CL, we evaluated the effects of CL on radical scavenging activity, elastase inhibition activity and collagenase inhibition activity. CL was extracted with various solvents including water (CLW), 70% ethanol (CLE) and 70% acetone (CLA). The results showed that CLW, CLE, and CLA have the radical scavenging activity. In addition, we showed that CLW, CLE, and CLA have the elastase inhibition activity and collagenase inhibition activity. Consequently, the CL has a potent anti-wrinkle effect and it could be a useful cosmeceutical product for anti-aging purposes.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies containing Aronia powder, which is well known for its various functions and biological activity. In this study, we assessed the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) of Aronia powder(AP). To analyze quality characteristics, pH of dough, moisture content, color(L, a, b), hardness, and sensory properties were measured. Qualities, such as moisture content, redness and yellowness and hardness increased significantly (p<0.001). whereas pH and lightness of the cookies significantly decreased (p<0.001). The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than the control, and it proportionally increased as the amount of AP increased (p<0.001). The results of sensory properties showed that cookies made with 2% and 4% AP did not differ significantly from the control in color, taste, and overall quality. Texture scores for the 2% and 4% AP groups ranked significantly higher than those of the other groups. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that AP is a beneficial ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies. The quality characteristics of the 4% added samples exhibited significantly similar or higher values as compared to those of the controls, raising the possibility of developments in health-functional cookies. The results of the sensory evaluation produced very significant values for color, appearance, texture, and overall quality of instrumental analysis.

A 6-year-old, spayed female Cocker Spaniel was presented with generalized seborrhea sicca. Initially gallbladder mucocele (GM) was suggested by high liver enzyme activities and a stellate pattern in ultrasonography. There were no responses during 16 months of medical treatments for GM. Hormonal assay and histopathological findings were consistent with a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine therapy led to rapid resolution of dermatologic, serum chemical and ultrasonographic abnormalities. This report describes serial changes of skin lesions, serum chemistry and ultrasonography in a dog with concurrent GM and hypothyroidism following treatment of hypothyroidism.

The present study was designed to investigate the antidiabetic effect of Cordyceps militaris on activities of hepatic glucose-regulating enzymes, such as glucokinase (GK), pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and acetyI-CoA carboxylase (ACC). We have isolated the active compounds, CM-A and CM-B from C. militaris and the extracts are under investigation to determine their mechanism of action. Hepatic GK, PDH and ACC activities were significantly (p < 0.05) increased compared with the control. Treatment with CM-A led to a rise in percentage of enzymes by 380$\%$,396$\%$ and 286$\%$, respectively, relative to control levels. CM-B were 329$\%$, 312$\%$ and 239$\%$, respectively. The increase in GK and ACC activities was linearly proportional with increased ratio of CM-A. Our findings suggest that C. militaris exerted antihyperglycemic potency, which is thought to be mediated through activation of GK, PDH and ACC enzymes related to glucose metabolism directly or indirectly and therefore C. militaris is promising as antidiabetic functional foods.

At concentrations with little or no cytotoxicity, C. arvensis extract indicates the ability of high DPPH radical scavenging, inhibited tyrosinase activity, and decreased melanin content. The treatment of B16F10 cells with C. arvensis extract suppressed the protein expression of tyrosinase a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that C. arvensis extract inhibits melanin synthesis by inhibiting tyrosinase expression and tyrosinase activity. In addition, C. arvensis extract showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria and yeast. These results indicate that C. arvensis extract may serve as nutraceutical and cosmeceutical agents.

Chitin은 새우나 게 등을 비롯한 해산 갑각류의 가공 폐기물로 버려지는 부패, 악취발생 등의 환경공해를 일으키며 처리비용 등 여러 가지 문제를 야기하던 물질이지만 최근에는 부가가치가 높은 chitosan 및 chitooligosaccarides로 가공되기 때문에 폐기물의 자원화와 미이용 자원의 개발 등 여러 가지 측면에서 기대가 모아지고 있는 다당류이다. 더욱이 chitin의 탈아세틸화로 얻어지는 chitosan은 polycation의 성질을 가지고 있어서 현재 응집제로서 각종 공업 분야에 널리 이용되고 있으며 최근에는 그 외에도 다양한 생리적 기능성을 가지고 있다는 사실이 밝혀지면서 의료, 생호학, 화장품, 식품, 화학 공업 및 농업용 등 다양한 분야에 응용 가능한 신소재로서 기대가 높아지고 있다. 그런, chitosan은 생리적 기능은 우수하지만 물에 용해되지 않고 점도가 높으며 떫은맛이 나기 때문에 식품을 비롯한 기타 응용분야에 이용이 제한되고 있다. 따라서 많은 연구자들은 이와 같은 물리적인 장애를 개선함으로써 chitosan 자체가 갖는 우수한 생리적 기능을 이용할 뿐만 아니라 항종양성을 비롯한 새로운 생리적 기능을 갖는 chitosan 유도체의 개발을 시도하고 있다. Chitosan 유도체 중에서도 chitooligosaccharides는 chitosan의 가수분해로 얻어지는 저분자 화합물이므로 물에 잘 용해도며 점도가 낮고 용액이 단맛을 낼뿐만 아니라 chitosan이 갖지 않는 새로운 생리적 기능성을 갖는 것으로 알려지면서 관심이 집중되기 시작하였다. 본고에서는 chitosan과 chitooligosaccarides의 생리 활성 기능에 대한 지금까지의 연구결과를 소개하고자 한다.에 대한 면밀한 사안이 밝혀지는 경우가 많지 않다. 또한 그 발생 경위나 원인요소에 대해서는 일반에게 공개되지 않고 있어, 우리가 실천하여 식중독을 예방할 수 있는 정보가 함께 제시되지 못하는 형편이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 최근 수년간 외국에서 학교급식을 비롯한 집단급식 등에서 발생한 식중독 사례를 중심으로 고찰, 분석하였다. 이로부터 식중독 발생에 기여한 주요 원인을 찾아내고 여기서 얻어지는 교훈을 토대로 식중독 발생을 예방 및 최소화할 수 있는 실천적 대처 방안을 모색해 보고자 한다.중의 E. coli O157:H7이 연관되어있다는 보고도 있다. 목장 방문시 원유를 마신 어린이에서 HUS가 유발하였고, 균분리 결과, 농장의 소와 어린이에서 유사한 E. coli O157:H7이 분리된 바 있다. 본 연자들은 베로톡신 유형, plasmid profiles, RFLP 분석, phage type을 기초로하여 소에서 분리된 E. coli O157:H7이 사람유래주와 매우 유사함을 확인하였다.mm 및 2-6mm 난포에서의 101개(67.8%) 및 47개(50.0%) 보다 매우 낮게 나타났다. 전체 회수 난포란수도 4등급이 59.1%(149/252)로써 1, 2, 3등급의 0.4% (1/252), 7.6%(19/252) 및 32.9%(83/252)보다 높게 나타났다. 1회 평균 회수 난포란은 $\leq$2mm 난포에서 4.8$\pm$3.7개로써 2-6mm(3.0$\pm$3.4개) 및 $\geq$6mm (0.3$\pm$0.6개)보다 높았으며, 1회당 평균 8.1$\pm$5.1개의 난포란을 회수하였다. in
