Measurement of spray deposit is necessary for evaluation of a chemical application technology. However it is not easy and time consuming. A simple method for measuring the deposition amount of spray using a tracer and a spectrophotometer was developed. Various materials were tested to determine an adequate tracer. Food dye was selected as a tracer, because it was cheep and easily treatable. Using NIRS(Near Infrared Reflection Spectrophotometer), a regression curves between maximum absorbance of a solution and concentration of the tracer were obtained. Yellow food dye solution showed a peak of spectrum at 452 nm, and absorbance of peak showed a tendency to increase as concentration increased. Green or pink food dye were tested and judged to be good tracers. However, tracer concentration should not exceed certain limits in order to measure maximum absorption. Using spraying liquid with known tracer concentration and known amount of washing liquid, spray deposit amount on real targets on leaves could be estimated at less than 13% error level.

식품의 상품화에 따라 식품 첨가물의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 식품 첨가물로서 색소는 고유의 색소를 보존하기 어려운 식품에 따라 사용되며 tar 색소, 식물성 색소 및 광물성 색소로 나눌 수 있는데 tar 색소는 독성이 강한 것이 많으므로 현재 15종만이 법적으로 허용되어 있다. 이중 azo 화합물인 amaranth, tartrazine, sunset yellow, allura red에 대하여 흰 주위 hepatic azo reductase의 활성을 측정 비교하였고 이에 대한 flavin의 효과를 보았다. 1. Amaranth를 기질로 사용하여 kinetic constants $Km=645\;\mu\textrm{M}$, Vmax=50 n mol/min/mg protein의 값을 얻었다. 2. Amaranth의 농도를 일정하게 하고 FAD의 농도를 증가시켰을 때 hepatic azo reductase의 활성은 현저히 증가하였으나 NADPH-generating system에 의한 환원은 작은 증가를 나타냈다. 3. 기타 식용 azo 색소 tartrazine, sunset yellow, allura red를 기지로 azo reductase activity를 측정한 결과 sunset yellow는 amaranth와 비슷한 환원활성은 나타냈고, tartrazine은 보다 낮은 환원활성을 allura red는 보다 높은 환원활성을 나타냈으며, $300\;\mu\textrm{M}-FAD$에 의해 기질 모두에서 환원활성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 세포의 사멸 및 성장변화 등의 평가에 널리 이용되는 MTT assay에서 생성된 formazan dye에 미치는 ZnPP의 영향을 조사하였다. ZnPP는 생체 내에 자연적으로 생성되거나 다양한 관련 실험에 인위적으로 첨가해주는 물질로서, MTT formazan dye의 빛에 의한 탈색을 가속화시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. Formazan dye의 분해는 5와 $10{\mu}M$ ZnPP 존재 시 반감기를 기준하여 각각 10 및 20배 가량 가속화되었으며, 빛이 차단된 조건에서는 영향을 미치지 않았다. ZnPP 구조 중 Zn는 formazan dye의 탈색에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, porphyrin 구조와 공통적인 감광체 성질을 나타내는 MB에 의해서 ZnPP 존재 시와 유사하게 dye의 탈색을 가속화 시켰다. 이러한 ZnPP와 MB에 의한 formazan dye의 탈색반응은 NAC와 ${\beta}$-carotene에 의해 지연되었으나, BHT에 의한 저해효과는 나타나지 않았다. 본 결과는 세포 중에 존재하는 ZnPP 등의 감광체류가 MTT tetrazolium으로부터 환원된 formazan dye의 빛에 의한 신속한 분해를 유도하며, 관련 실험에서 빛의 차단 등의 조치와 함께 각별히 유의해야함을 시사한다.

A lysine determination method for low quantity of rice was modified from the original Dye-Binding Lysine (DBL) method used in the national standard in China [GB 4801-84, 1984]. By making use of the property that lysine does not bind to the crocein orange G dye after treated with propionic anhydride, the amount of lysine in rice samples could be determined directly by calculating the difference between the absorbances of the treated and the untreated samples. Various commercial rice samples were purchased from market and evaluated. Several methods were tested by varying both the sizes of the samples and the concentrations of the dye solutions. Results showed that when using 1.284 mM of crocein orange G dye solution and 15.5 mg of sample, the results were most reproducible. The corresponding lysine content in sample were $3.36\;{\pm}\;0.09\;mg/g$ and $3.35\;{\pm}\;0.19\;mg/g$ by traditional method and modified method, respectively. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the results (p>0.05).

Batch binding experiments were performed to assess the recovery performance of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) bound to the unshielded and polymer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone. PVP)-shielded dye-ligand (Cibacron Blue 3GA) adsorbent. The adoption of a polymer-shielded, dye-ligand technique facilitated the elution efficiency of bound G3PDH. It was demonstrated that the recovery of G3PDH using polymer-shielded dye-ligand adsorption yielded higher elution efficiency, at 60.5% and a specific activity of 42.3 IU/mg, after a low ionic strength elution (0.15 M NaCl). The unshielded dye-ligand yielded lower elution efficiency. at 6.5% and a specific activity of 10.2 IU/mg.

Frankel-Conrat 와 Cooper에 의해 개발된 쉽고 빠르며 능률적으로 단백질 함량 및 질을 결정할 수 있는 염색법을 고단백 품종의 선발에 이용할 수 있는지의 여부를 알기 위하여 최근 고단백 수도품종으로 육종되고 있는 IR-667 계통에 적용하여 단백질, BAA, 및 라이신 함량과의 관계를 비교 검토하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. DBA-protein의 관계는 고도의 상관관계를 보였으며 단백질 함량을 생체중으로 나타냈을 때 $-0.975^{**}$, 건물중으로 나타냈을 때 $-0.955^{**}$의 상관계수를 보였다. DBA-lysine 및 DBA-BAA의 상관관계는 모두 고도의 상관관계를 보였으며 비슷한 상관계수를 보였다. DBA-lysine의 관계는 DBA-protein 의 관계보다는 다소 낮으나 protein-lysine과의 관계보다는 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다.

Aldose reductase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from porcine liver. The purified enzyme was a monomer of 36 kDa. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by $Cu^{2+}\;and\;Mg^{2+}$ ions. Incubation of the enzyme with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate led to complete inhibition of enzymatic activity, suggesting that lysine residue is involved at or near the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme exhibited a broad substrate specificity. Furthermore, the enzyme was capable of decolorizing Alizarin, an anthraquinone dye.

In this work, the natural indigo production process from Polygonum tinctorium was balanced based on the traditional Niram method in Korea. A standard procedure was determined considering the conditions of indican extraction from plant material, the amount of alkali for precipitation, storage of extract, etc. The effect of experimental conditions on the yield of crude dye was investigated. The contents of indigo and indirubin of the crude dyes were analyzed by HPLC. Increase of the amount of crude dye was observed within 1-2.5 days of extraction time. Longer extraction beyond 2.5 days resulted in a slight decrease in the amount of crude dye. There was no consistency in terms of indigo content depending on extraction pH. We found that the storage of extract or harvested plants affected adversely to dye yield and dye quality. Based on the lab scale extraction, large scale extraction was performed for 2-2.5 days in water and 2.0-2.5 g/L of $Ca(OH)_2$ was applied for precipitation of indigo dye. We obtained natural indigo dye containing about 15% of pure indigo in scale-up production using whole plant except root.

Interest in the use of smart packaging systems for food products has increased in recent years. Therefore, food researchers are focusing on the development of new indicator based smart packaging technologies by using anthocyanin-based natural dye. Anthocyanins are one of the plant constituents known as flavonoids and responsible for the bright and attractive orange, red, purple, and blue colors of most fruits, vegetables, flowers, and some cereal grains. Indicators of natural dyes such as anthocyanins could express the quality and shelf life of perishable food products. However, the sensitivity and stability for their use in smart food packaging should be established to reach the market proposals. This review article focuses on recent studies related to use of natural dyes based on anthocyanin for smart food packaging applications. This study offers valuable insight that may be useful for identifying trends in the commercialization of natural dyes or for identifying new research areas. This review also provides food and packaging scientists with a thorough understanding of the benefits of anthocyanin-based natural dyes for shelf life indicator when applied to package material specific foods and hence can assist in accelerating commercial adoption.

The influence of whole yeast cells $(0{\sim}15%\;w/v)$ on the protein adsorption performance in dye-ligand chromatography was explored. The adsorption of a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), was selected to demonstrate this approach. The UpFront adsorbent $(p=1.5\;g/cm^3)$ derivatised with Cibacron Blue 3GA and a commercially available expanded bed column (20 mm i.d.) from UpFront Chromatography, Denmark, were employed in the batch binding and expanded bed operation. The BSA binding capacity was demonstrated to not be adversely affected by the presence of yeast cells. The dynamic binding capacity of BSA at a $C/C_0=0.1$ biomass concentration of 5, 10, 15% w/v were 9, 8, and 7.5mg/mL of settled adsorbent, respectively.
