  • A sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] cultivar was planted on 9 and 30 June 2000 at plant densities of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 plants $m^{-2}$ to determine the optimum plant density in Jeju region. There were no significant planting date x plant density interactions for most traits measured. Delaying planting from 9 to 30 June delayed 21 days in heading date, and significantly decreased plant height, the number of productive stems $m^{-2}$/, and lodging. Fresh stem yield tended to be higher at the 9 June planting date than at the 30 June planting date, but total sugar and ethanol yields were not significantly affected by planting date. Percentage of soluble solid was higher at the 30 June planting date compared with the 9 June planting date. Fresh stem, total sugar, and ethanol yields quadractically increased from 22.9 to 36.7 $t^{-1}$, from 1.66 to 2.54 $t^{-1}$, and from 945 to 1440 $L^{-1}$, respectively, with increasing plant density. The optimal plant densities for the maximum fresh stem, total sugar, and ethanol were estimated to be 10.7, 9.6, and 9.9 plants $m^{-2}$ respectively.

  • Mosquitoes are carriers of malaria and encephalitis. This study performed for eco-friendly control of mosquitos by using genus Acorus. Several solvents were used for the extraction of genus Acorus; water, ethanol, and methanol. Grinded leaves and roots were also included. Acorus extracts killed mosquito larvae and the ethanol extract showed the best result. Autoclaved Acorus water needed long time to kill mosquito larvae. $LT_{50}$ of 1 % Acorus calamus decoction was 13.6 hrs and 1 % autoclaved Acorus water was 53.6 hrs. $LT_{50}$ of 0.05% Acorus calamus rhizome powder was 28.5 hrs. $LT_{50}$ of 0.5% Acorus calamus leaf powder was 10.8 hrs. $LT_{50}$ of 0.1 % Acorus calamus decoction was 63.4 hrs and 0.1 % Acorus calamus ethanol extracts was 48.6 hrs and 0.1% Acorus calamus methanol extracts was 53.9 hrs. $LT_{50}$ of 0.4% Acorus gramineus decoction was 45.5 hrs, 0.4% ethanol extracts was 10.9 hrs, 0.4% methanol extracts was 10.2 hrs. $LT_{50}$ of ethanol extracts was shorter than other extracts. Acorus calamus rhizome powder could be used for the eco-friendly control of the mosquito larvae.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate cytoprotective effect of Korean medicinal plants on alcohol-induced cytotoxicity in liver cells. Out of the 120 plant extracts tested in this study, 53 plant extracts enhanced alcohol-induced cytotoxicity in liver cells by 50~80%, while other 11 plant extracts including Crataegus pinnatifida reduced cytotoxicity by 1~68%. The results of DPPH free radical test and LDL lipid peroxidation test on the plant extracts that sharply reduced cytotoxicity in liver cells shows that Crataegus pinnatifida and Cinnamomum cassia had antioxidative effect. This study reports that the plant extracts that enhance or reduce ethanol-induced cytotoxicity in liver cells can be research objects as cytotoxic plants or cytotoxicity-protective plants.

  • The effects of leaf extracts of 14 different non-host plant species on in vitro conidial germination of Phaeoisariopsis personata, the causal organism of late leaf spot(LLS) of groundnut were evaluated. Aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of Datura metel, Lawsonia inermis and aqueous leaf extracts of Sphaeranthus indicus at 25%(w/v) concentration completely inhibited the conidial germination of P. personata both at 24h and 48h after incubation. Aqueous leaf extracts of Blumea bifoliata, Eucalyptus globules, Ocimum sanctum and Pongamia pinnata, and ethanol leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica and S. indicus inhibited the conidial germination by >90%. Aqueous and ethanol leaf extract of L. inermis and S. indicus were highly inhibitory to conidial germination up to 1% concentration. Aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of D. metel and ethanol leaf extract of A. indica were highly inhibitory to P. personata even at 0.01% (100 ppm) concentration. Ethanol leaf extract of A. indica up to $80^{\circ}$, aqueous leaf extracts of D. metel and S. indicus up to $100^{\circ}$, and L. inermis up to $60^{\circ}$, were highly stable and retained their fungitoxic effects. Extract of D. metel was antifungal even after 180 days when it was stored both at room temperature and $4^{\circ}$. Aqueous leaf extract of D. metel at 2% concentration effectively reduced the development of LLS by >60%, under greenhouse conditions both in prophylactic and simultaneous applications. Extracts of D. metel could be a potential economical and an eco-frendly alternative for control of late leaf spot, and its efficacy under field conditions is further being evaluated.

  • 생약재의 용매별 추출액에 대한 생리활성 측정 결과 총폴리페놀 함량은 모든 생약재가 50$\%$ ethanol 추출액에서 가장 우수하였으며, 생약재 별로는 감초의 50$\%$ ethanol 추출액이 2.23$\%$로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 전자공여 작용은 감초 water 추출액이 81.81$\%$로 가장 우수하였으며, 감초, 건강는 water 추출액이 두충, 건마늘, 인삼은 50$\%$ ethanol 추출액에서 다른 용매에 비해 높은 전자공여 효과를 나타내었다. Superoxide dismutase(SOD) 유사활성은 감초의 10$\%$ ethanol추출액이 42.75$\%$로 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈었고, 전마늘, 건강은 50$\%$ ethanol 추출액이 감초, 두충, 인삼은 water 추출액이 다른 용매에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 아질산염소거작용은 pH가 증가할 수록 소거율이 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 용매별 소거능은 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았지만 water 추출액이 다른 두 용매 추출액에 비해 소거능이 높은 것으로 나타났다. ACE 저해작용은 건강을 제외한 생약재 추출물에서 50$\%$ ethanol 추출물이 다른 용매에 비해 우수한 효과를 나타내었으며, 건마늘의 50$\%$ ethanol 추출물이 37.16$\%$로 가장 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 용매별 효과는 50$\%$ ethanol 추출액이 다른 용매에 비해 ACE저해활성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 생약재의 종류에 따라 다름을 알 수 있다. 또한 기능성 효과를 확인함으로써 기능성 식품의 소재로의 이용가능성을 확인하였다.

  • 본 연구는 페놀 및 플라보노이드의 총 함량과 생리 활성에 대한 다양한 농도의 에탄올 추출 효과를 비교하기 위해 수행하였다. 추출물의 총 페놀 함량은 35.54 ~ 71.52 mg GAE / g 범위였다. 용매의 에탄올 농도가 증가함에 따라 페놀 함량이 높았고 80%와 99.5%의 에탄올 추출물에서 최고 함량이 확인되었다. 추출물의 총 플라보노이드 함량은 페놀 함량의 경향과 유사하였다. 항산화 실험으로 DPPH, nitric oxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical 소거능과 TEAC, FRAP, ORAC를 측정하였다. Radical 소거능은 물이나 99.5% 에탄올 추출물 보다 에탄올 수용액 추출물의 활성이 우수하였다. TEAC와 FRAP은 에탄올 농도 의존적인 경향으로 높은 값이 나타났고 ORAC는 40 ~ 80% 에탄올 추출물이 높은 활성을 보였다. 돌외 잎 차의 항산화능을 검토한 결과 측정 방식에 따라 다른 경향이 확인되었다. 그리고 대부분의 실험에서 물 또는 99.5% 에탄올 추출물의 활성이 상대적으로 낮았다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase 저해활성은 80%, 99.5% 에탄올 추출물에서 가장 높은 활성이 확인되었고, 미생물 저해활성 또한 동일한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 차의 항산화 활성과 생리활성을 복합적으로 고려할 때 80% 에탄올로 추출하는 것이 적절한 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 돌외 차의 식품개발에 있어 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다고 생각된다.

  • Samples were collected from a commercial ethanol production plant to enumerate the bacterial contamination in each step of a starch based ethanol production process. Though the slurry of raw material used in the process carried bacteria with various colony morphology in the order of $10^4$ per ml, only the colonies of white and circular form survived and propagated through the processes to the order of $10^8$ per ml at the end of fermentation. Almost all of the bacterial isolates from the fermentation broth were lactic acid bacteria. Heterofermentative Lactobacillus fermentum and L. salivarius, and a facultatively heterofermentative L. casei were major bacteria of an ethanol fermentation. In a batch fermentation L. fermentum was more detrimental than L. casei to ethanol fermentation. In a cell-recycled fermentation, ethanol productivity of 5.72 g $I^{-1} h^{-1}$ was obtained when the culture was contaminated by L. fermentum, whilst that of the pure culture was 9.00 g $1^{-1} h^{-1}$. Similar effects were observed in a cell-recycled ethanol fermentation inoculated by fermentation broth collected from an industrial plant, which showed a bacterial contamination at the level of 10$^8$ cells per ml.

  • 본 연구에서는 ice plant의 ethanol 추출물과 분획물의 항산화 및 대장암세포 성장억제 활성을 in vitro 수준에서 평가하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. Ethanol 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량 (3.7 mg GAE/g), 총 카로티노이드 함량 ($13.2{\mu}g/g$), DPPH 라디칼 소거활성 (21.0%), 철 환원력 (21.0%)보다 butanol 분획물의 총 폴리페놀 함량 (5.4 mg GAE/g), 총 카로티노이드 함량 ($86.6{\mu}g/g$), DPPH 라디칼 소거활성 (34.9%), 철 환원력 (80.8%)이 더 높았다. 또한 HCT116 대장암세포에서 세포 내 활성산소종 수준을 감소시키거나 세포 성장을 억제하는데 있어서 ethanol 추출물보다 butanol 분획물의 활성이 더 컸다. 대장암세포의 성장을 억제하는데 있어서 butanol 분획물이 ethanol 추출물보다 더 효과적이었던 것은 butanol 분획물의 apoptosis 유도활성이 ethanol 추출물의 활성보다 더 컸고 butanol 분획물만이 G2/M기억류활성을 나타냈기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 앞으로 이와 같은 결과를 초래하는 주요 활성성분을 분리 동정하고 ice plant의 항산화 활성 및 대장암세포 성장억제 효과가 in vivo 수준에서 재현되는지 검증하며 이와 관련된 세부기전을 탐색하는 심도 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Plant extracts produced from branches of Crataegus pinnatifida and barks of Crataegus pinnatifida inhibited ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage in liver cells. Furthermore, these two extracts inhibited the expression and activities of CYP2E1 enzyme. Cinnamomum cassia had a better effect on inhibition of DNA damage than Crataegus pinnatifida, as well as showed a high tendency to inhibit CYP2E1 expression and catalytic activities. It is considered that extracts produced from Crataegus pinnatifida or Cinnamomum cassia have an effect to reduce ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage in liver cells. Therefore, we suggest to use Crataegus pinnatifida and Cinnamomum cassia and their ingredients as potential candidate substances to prevent and treat ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in liver cells.
