본 연구에서는 어리연꽃 추출물의 B16F10 세포에서의 미백활성을 측정하였다. 버섯유래의 tyrosinase 활성 저해능 측정결과 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 42%의 저해율을 나타내었으며, B16F10 세포내의 tyrosinase, 멜라닌 생합성 저해능은 $5{\mu}g/mL$에서 26, 25%의 저해능을 나타내었다. 멜라닌 생성 관련 인자중 상위 단계인 cAMP와 PKA의 발현을 측정한 결과 농도 의존적으로 발현양이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 어리연꽃추출물의 미백과 관련된 tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein(TRP) 1, TRP2, microphthalmia associated transcription factor(MITF)의 단백질 및 유전자 발현양이 감소함을 나타내었다. 본 실험을 통하여 어리연꽃 추출물이 cAMP를 효과적으로 억제함으로써, PKA의 활성을 저해 시켰으며, 이를 통해 tyrosinase 활성뿐만 아니라 TRP1, TRP2 그리고 MITF 발현을 효과적으로 저해 한다는 사실을 확인하여 기능성 미백 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

기능성 면류제조를 위해 사용된 복분자와 백련초의 기능성을 평가한 결과 total polyphenol 함량을 측정한 결과 전반적으로 70% ethanol 추출물보다는 열수 추출물의 total polyphenol 함량이 높았으며 그 중 시료 농도 1,000 ppm에서 복분자 열수 추출물이 150.25 mg%로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 전자공여능도 열수 추출물이 DPPH에 대한 전자공여능이 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 시료 농도 1,000 ppm에서 복분자 열수 추출물이 69.36%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 닭가슴살, transglutaminase, 활성글루텐, 복분자, 백련초 등을 첨가하여 조리면의 품질 특성을 조사하였다. 면 익는 시간은 CB가 304초로 가장 짧았고, NCB가 779초로 가장 오래 걸렸다. 수분 흡수율은 CB가 146.3%로 가장 높았고 NCB가 61.5%로 가장 낮았다. 부피 증가율은 CB가 246.3%로 가장 높았고, NCB는 161.5%로 가장 낮았다. 국물의 탁도는 조리중 고형분의 손실 정도를 나타내는 지표로서 CB가 0.421로 가장 높았고, NCBT가 0.240으로 가장 낮았다. 물성을 측정한 결과 전반적으로 transglutaminase를 첨가한 처리구에서 hardness, cohesivness, springness 및 gumminess가 높은 물성을 나타내었다. 관능평가 결과 color는 모든 시료에서 4.0 이상으로 나타내었고, flavor는 모든 시료군에서 전반적으로 2.6～2.8로 낮은 관능검사 결과를 나타내었다. Chewiness는 CB와 NCB보다 CBT와 NCBT가 높게 나타났었고, overall acceptability는 transglutaminase 첨가구가 높게 나타났다. Chewiness 항목의 평가가 높았던 시료가 overall acceptability에서 높은 평가를 받은 것은 소비자들이 면을 먹을 때 쫄깃한 것을 선호하는 것으로 판단된다.

Calocybe indica, known as milky white mushroom, grows and cultivated in the sub-tropical and temperate zones of South Asia. We investigated the most suitable supplements and their levels for the commercial cultivation of milky white mushroom. Rice bran, maize powder, and wheat bran with their different levels (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) were used as supplements to evaluate the yield and yield contributing characteristics of C. indica. Primordia initiation was observed between 13.5 and 19.3 days. The results indicated that the 30% maize powder supplement was effective for producing viable fruiting bodies. The maximum diameters of the pileus and stalk were observed with 30% maize powder. The highest biological and economic yield and biological efficiency were also obtained with 30% maize powder as a supplement. The results indicate that increasing the supplement level resulted in less biological efficiency, and that 30% maize powder was the best supplement level for rice straw substrate to cultivate milky white mushrooms.

Prickly pear(Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten Makino, Cactaceae) is a tropical or subtropical plant, which is widely used as folk medicine for burned wound, edema and indigestion. Screening on the biological properties of the fruits(OFS-Fr) and stems(OFS-St) of the plant was carried out to prove the pharmacological significance. By hot plate and acetic acid-inducing writhing methods, significant analgesic effects of OFS-Fr and OFS-St were found in mice and anti-edemic effect was observed in carrageenin-induced inflammatory rats. However, the extracts showed no significant actions on central and autonomic nervous system and blood circulatory system, which imply no toxic effects to animal.

The hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic activity of methanolic extract of Pluchea indica Less. (Asteraceae) (MEPI) leaves were studied in normal rats and in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats respectively. The blood glucose levels were measured at 1, 4, 8, 16 and 24 h intervals after the treatment. The MEPI leaves showed reduction in blood glucose level in normal (35.12% and 36.01 % for 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o. respectively) and in steptozotocin induced diabetic rats (36.10% and 41.87% for 200 and 400 mg/kg respectively). A toxicity study has been performed for the extract, which revealed that the extract is safe to use even at the doses of 3.2 gm/kg of body weight orally.

The aim of this study was to find optimal ratio of herbal extracts to ameliorate ethanol-induced psychomotor alterations. Four mixtures of Laurus nobilis (L. nobilis), Rosa roxburghii (R.R.) and Opuntia ficus indica (OFI) were pretreated 30 minutes before ethanol administration in rats. Behavioral activities were evaluated. Blood ethanol and acetaldehyde levels were also measured. These effects of mixture of R.R (50 mg/kg)+OFI (100 mg/kg)+L.nobilis (100 mg/kg) were better than those of other mixtures. This mixture could be used as an effective substance to develop a functional food.

This study was performed to analyze the JAR (Just-About-Right) Rating and CATA (Check-All-That-Apply) Method for commercial Yugwa (Korean oil pastry products) containing Baeknyeoncho (Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten). The survey was conducted with 50 participants, and five kinds of Yugwa samples (Control, B-YG, B-RY, B-WY and B-GB) were used. According to the results of the study with these samples, the B-RY sample received the highest score in 'Try again (6.30/9)' and 'Recommend (6.24/9)'. The Control Sample, which was the traditional Yugwa, received the second highest score (Try again: 5.62/9, Recommend: 5.70/9). The liking attributes for these samples were related to eating convenience, familiar taste, traditional type and size. These findings suggest that the factors to be considered in the development of commercial Yugwa are the maintenance of traditional taste and familiarity in an easy-to-eat size for consumers.

In this study, impact force and angular displacement of the pendulum were measured by the load cell and potentiometer. Mechanical behavior of rough rice under impact loading was able to analyze precisely and efficiently, because measured data were accumulated and handled by the automatic data acquisition system making use of microcomputer system. Impact force and angular displacement were measured with a resolutiln of 1/1500 seconds in time. Mechanical behavior such as force and energy at rupture point of Japonica type and Indica type rough rice were measured with this system. After impact loading, the damage of rough rice was examined with the microphotograph and an allowable impact force was measured. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows. 1. Machanical behavior of rough rice under impact loading was analyzed precisely and efficiently because measured data were accumulated and handled by this data acquisition system. 2. Rupture force and rupture energy of rough rice were appeared to be the lowest value in the range of 16 to 18 % moisture content, and rupture force and rupture energy of Japonica type were higher than those of Indica type in each level of moisture content. 3. From the result of the damage examined after the impact loading, allowable impact force was the lowest in the range of 16 to 18 % moisture content, and the value of the allowable impact force of Japonica type was higher than that of Indica type in each level of moisture content.

Goosegrass [Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn] has been a nuisance to growers in Malaysia due to its increased resistance to commercial herbicides, rapid growth and dissemination, and interference with agricultural practices. In the course of developing an apt integrated management to control goosegrass, more information of this weed is needed. The aim of this study was to look into variations among the goosegrass ecotypes sampled throughout Malaysia from the aspects of genotype and phenotype. Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were employed in investigating the genetic diversity and relationships among the 18 goosegrass ecotypes. Consequently, 5 primer combinations amplified 13 fragments with the polymorphism rate of 69.23%. At 74% similarity, the ecotypes were clustered into 6 groups. Phenotypic variability of the goosegrass ecotypes was assessed by observing their morphology, growth and seed traits. Goosegrass ecotypes were sorted into 3 major groups at the genetic distance (DIST) of 0.37. Concurrences of the evaluated genetic distance, ecotypes with the closest and most distant relationships were assembled together in Group I which showed high variation even among ecotypes in the same group. Results obtained thus implied high molecular and morphological variations of the goosegrass ecotypes in Malaysia.

TNT를 제거하기 위한 식물종을 선정하기 위해 8종의 대표적인 야초류를 이용하여 TNT 식물독성 임계점을 측정하였다. 독성 임계점은 TNT 농도변화에 대한 발아율, 유식물의 뿌리와 지상부의 생장율, 생체량 및 수분 흡수 능력 등을 비교하여 결정하였다. TNT가 식물에게 미치는 독성효과는 오염물의 농도와 식물종에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 60-80mgTNT/L 농도는 어저귀, 식용피, 자귀풀 종자의 발아율에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 발아 후 14일동안 어저귀, 식용피, 자귀풀의 뿌리 생장에 있어 식물 독성 임계점(50%) 농도는 5-40 mgTNT/L이며 지상부 생장은 50-73mgTNT/L, 생체량은 68-99mgTNT/L이다. 뿌리와 지상부의 길이, 생체량은 TNT농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며 수분 흡수량도 감소하였다. 야초류의 서로 다른 독성 임계점을 비교해 보면 뿌리 길이 > 지상부 길이 > 생체량 > 발아율 순으로 TNT에 대해 민감하게 반응하였다. 실험 결과, 8종의 식물 중에서 어저귀와 자귀풀은 TNT에 대해 내성을 지닌 종으로 판명되었다.
