  • The efficacy of alcoholic extract of Kasni (Cichorium intybus L.) to control hepatic damage induced by aflatoxin $B_1$ was explored in Swiss albino mice. Aflatoxin $B_1$ was administered orally to the mice with a daily dose of $66.6{\mu}g/kg$ body weight till three months. A signifi-cant increased in thio barbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels with concomitant reduction in enzymatic (glutathione-s-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase) and nonenzymatic (reduced glutathione) antioxidants were shown in aflatoxin treated group of mice. However, there was a significant reduction in increased TBARS levels and elevation in enzymatic. and non enzymatic antioxidant levels in group of mice which received alcoholic extract of kasni (300 mg/kg bw / day) along with aflatoxin. Histopathological analysis of liver samples also confirmed the hepatoprotective effect of kasni extract. These results suggest that kasni shows hepatoprotective effect against aflatoxin $B_1$ induced hepatic damage in mice.

  • Aroma components of tea processed from Korean chicory roots were isolated and identified. The model system of amino-carbonyl reaction was carried out to study the formation mechanism of aroma compounds of chicory tea during manufacturing process. The concentration extracts from chicory tea and model system were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography(GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. Twenty-nine compounds, including pyrazines, furans, acids, alcohols, pyrroles and lactones were isolated and identified in chicory tea. The main compounds were pyrazines including methyl pyrazine, 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2, 6-dimethyl pyrazine, 2-ethyl-6-methyl pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3-methyl pyrazine, thrimethyl pyrazine, 3-ethyl-2-5-dimenthyl pyrazine, 5-ethyl-2-3-dimenthyl pyrazine, and 2-acetyl-3-methy pyrazine and pyrroles including acethl pyrrole and formlyl pyrrole ; and furans including furfural , acetyl furan, 5-methyl furan, 5-methyl furfuralm, and furfuryl alcohol. These pyrazine compounds of a roasted and nutty aroma may be important contributors to the flavor of chicory tea. The aroma concentrate of model system also had a roasted and nutty aroma and the main compounds were methyl pyrazine, 2, 5-dimetyl pyrazine, 2, 6-dimethyl pyrazine and trimethyl pyrazine.

  • 고랭지에 적합한 신소득 작목을 개발하고자 최근에 수요가 증가하고 있는 쌈채소중에서 적근대 등 17종을 공시하였다. 파종은 128공 플러그트레이에 30일간 육묘하였으며 비가림하우스에 정식하여 생육, 특성, 수량 등 제반 수량형질과 쌈으로서의 재배 및 이용 가능성을 조사하였다. 정식시 묘소질은 공시작목 17종 모두 묘상 및 본포 생육은 고랭지 환경조건에서 순조로운 양상을 보였다. 이들 중에서 부추, 삼엽채 및 로메인상추 등의 첫수확은 8월 상중순이었으나 나머지 작목은 7월 10일이었다. 삼엽채 등을 비롯한 11종은 7월 중순-8월 하순에 추대하여 대부분 개화에 도달하였다. 로메인상추, 화채 등 일시수확하는 작목을 제외한 전 작목 모두 월별 수확이 진행됨에 따라 상품엽의 크기가 점차 감소하였으며 9월 수확시에 그 감소 정도가 다소 컸다. 7-9월의 상품수량은 적근대, 적겨자, 겨자채, 청경채, 다채, 로메인상추, 적엽치커리, 적치커리, 녹엽치커리 등 9작목이 비교적 높은 수준이었다.

  • Optimal shoot regeneration and transformation conditions of root type chicory (Cichorium intybus L. var. sativus cv Cesare) were studied. Leaf explants were co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which contained NPTII as a selectable marker and a rice homeotic gene, OsMADS1, that encodes a MADS-domain-containing transcription factor. After one day of co-cultivation, explants were transferred to selection media consisting of MS basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BAP, 0.1 mg/L IAA, 70 mg/L kanamycin, and 250 mg/L cefotaxime. PCR and Southern blot analyses revealed stable integration of the OsMADS1 gene in the chicory genome. Four-teen original transgenic plants ($T_o$ plants) were acclimatized in the greenhouse and examined for their morphological characters. Most of the transgenic plants showed altered morphologies, such as short, bushy, and early-flowering phenotypes with reduced apical dominance. Additionally, half of the transgenic plants exhibited altered leaf shapes, and 4 out of 14 plants were sterile. These phenotypes were inherited by the next generation. Northern blot analysis confirmed expression of the OsMADS1 gene in both floral and vegetative organs.

  • Made using a natural mixed starter of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, Koumiss is a slightly alcoholic fermented mare's milk beverage, and a traditional drink of the nomadic populations of Central Asia. Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) is a sedative with potential cardioactive properties, and its oligosaccharides are beneficial in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal flora. Hence, in this study, we have generated a functional Koumiss containing two different concentrations of chicory. After fermentation of the Koumiss premix, the TA increased to 0.85~0.88%, and the pH decreased to ~4.3. The addition of either concentration of chicory had no significant effect on pH and TA. However, the taste, flavor, color, texture, and overall acceptability decreased in proportion to the added amount of chicory. This study has provided the first data on Koumiss supplemented with chicory. The results could be useful in developing high-quality Koumiss with functional activity using chicory, and allowing large-scale industrial production. Further studies are needed to determine if chicory root extract is beneficial for lifestyle-related diseases.

  • Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) roots and leaves are widely used in herbal preparations, which have beneficial effects on the stimulation of digestion and metabolism of food ingredients, gastric juice excretion, diuretic action, and bile excretion. Notably, chicory root is well known as a source of polyphenols, compounds with recognized value in health improvement. In this study, we examined the physicochemical characteristics (TA, pH, and sensory evaluation) of bioactive yoghurt containing different concentrations of chicory. With increasing incubation time (5 h), the TA of the yoghurt increased whereas the pH decreased, regardless of the amount of chicory. As the amount of chicory increased, the scores for color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability generally decreased. Among the tested groups, yoghurt with the addition of 1% chicory attained the highest scores. Further studies on the production of bioactive yogurt with optimum chicory concentration are needed.

  • Chicory(Cichorium intybus L.)의 우량 종근 생산을 위해 파종 시기를 1개월 간격으로 하여 종근 형성 및 화아분화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 화아분화 개시는 4월 파종은 6월 17일, 5월 파종은 7월 2일, 6월 파종은 7월 30일, 7월 파종은 10월 1일에 각각 화아가 분화되었으나 8월과 9월 파종은 전혀 분화되지 않았다. 파종시기별 생육특성에서 $4{\sim}7$월 파종은 종근의 무게가 150g에 도달하기 전에 화아가 분화되어 종근을 이용할 수가 없었으며, 9월 파종은 생육동안 외기온도가 낮아 겨울을 넘기면서 종근이 정상적으로 발육하지 못하는 결과를 보였고, 8월 파종은 파종 후 약 90일이 되는 시기에 Chicon을 생산할 수 있는 종근의 적절한 중량인 200g이상의 이상적인 굴취기에 도달하였으며, 생육기간동안 화아분화가 일어나지 않았다. 따라서 우리나라 기후에 따른 우량 Chicory 종근을 생산하기 위한 적정 파종기는 8월인 것으로 조사되었다.

  • $Cr^{3+}$ 및 Se을 첨가하여 수경 재배한 치커리 3종의 에탄올 추출물을 각각 제조하여 추출물별 항산화 활성을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 양액만으로 재배한 치커리보다 양액에 Se이나 $Cr^{3+}$을 첨가한 치커리 추출물에서 총 폴리페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량 및 FRAP 환원능이 증가하였으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거능 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거능도 증가하였다. 특히 Se을 첨가한 치커리보다 $Cr^{3+}$을 첨가한 치커리에서 더 우수한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 $Cr^{3+}$을 첨가한 CLER 및 CLE의 경우 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 치커리 추출물의 수경재배 과정에서 양액에 $Cr^{3+}$, Se의 첨가는 치커리의 항산화 활성 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성 증진에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

  • 치콘 생산을 위한 종근의 연화 재배 시 잎 제거 정도(잎의 길이, 겉잎 제거)에 따른 치콘의 생육 특성과 식품적 가치를 비교하고자 수행하였다. 남겨진 잎의 길이에 따른 치콘은 1cm와 2cm길이로 남긴 처리에서 길었을 뿐 다른 특성에서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 수분 함량은 4m 길이, 비타민 C 함량은 1cm길이로 남긴 처리에서 높았다. 겉잎 제거 정도에 따라서는 완전히 제거한 처리에서 생체중과 건물중이 가장 무거웠으나, 초장, 초경, 경도등 대부분의 특성은 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 비타민 C함량은 겉잎의 제거 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 관행적 방법과 비교하면 치콘 생산을 위한 종근의 연화 재배 시 관행적 처리 외에 추가적인 잎 제거 처리는 크게 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 생각되었다.
