  • Coix lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen (Rom. Caill.) Stapf (CL), which contains riboflavin and coixol, has traditionally been used to treat cancer and arthritis. However, no method for the simultaneous determination of riboflavin and coixol in CL sprouts has been established. In this study, we established and validated a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) method for the identification and quantification of two reference markers, riboflavin and coixol, in CL sprout extracts. CL sprouts (whole sprouts and leaves) were subjected to extraction with 70% ethanol at room temperature and at 80 ℃ under reflux conditions. The two extractions were validated with respect to specificity, accuracy, precision, and linearity. The content of the two reference markers was highest in leaves extracted under reflux conditions (riboflavin, 8.23 ± 0.32 mg/g; coixol, 5.95 ± 0.04 mg/g). We also investigated the antioxidant activity of the extracts via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+) scavenging assays. The results indicated that extracts obtained from sprouts under reflux conditions had the strongest antioxidative effects (DPPH half maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50], 68.9 ± 4.1 g/mL; and ABTS, IC50, 34.9 ± 0.1 g/mL). These results can serve as baseline data for the simultaneous determination of the two reference marker compounds, riboflavin and coixol, and development of functional food materials using CL sprouts.

Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene and microperforated film packaging on postharvest quality of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) (1-Methylcyclopropene 처리와 미세천공필름 포장이 큰느타리버섯의 저장기간 중 품질에 미치는 영향)

  • This study was carried out to investigate proper modified atmosphere condition of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) during cold storage and distribution. King oyster mushrooms were divided into two treatments: $1{\mu}L/L$ 1-methylcyclopropene for 20 hours at $0^{\circ}C$ (1-MCP), while the other treatment was left at $0^{\circ}C$ (control). They were packaged with $30{\mu}m$ oriented polypropylene (OPP, $1238.0cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm\;O_2$), and microperforated (MP3, $3179.9cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm\;O_2$) film. Quality and sensory evaluation parameters of weight loss, stem firmness, skin color, off-flavor, overall quality were monitored after 3, and 4 weeks storage at $0^{\circ}C$ and plus 3 days on the shelf at room temperature. 1-MCP treated mushroom packaged with MP3 film kept 3.6~10.9% $O_2$ and 9.0~13.3% $CO_2$ concentration in the bag during storage, and showed high overall quality at 4 weeks storage at $0^{\circ}C$ + 3 days on the shelf at room temperature because of the lowest development of off-flavor, stem discoloration, and cap softening among the treatments.

  • Three pome fruit viruses, Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASPV) and Apple stem pitting virus (ASGV) were detected in pear trees (Pyrus pyrifolia) using double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) in Ansung, Naju and Ulsan provinces of Korea. Infection rate of three viruses was 35.2% from 452 leaf samples of the three cultivars of pear trees. Also, each of three viruses was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for a limited number of samples. Infection rate of three viruses was 86.3% from 233 leaf samples of the three pear cultivars. The virus infection rates by RT-PCR were much higher than ELISA. ASGV was prevailing on pear with 74.2%, whereas ASPV and ACLSV were found in 34.8% and 0.4% of tested samples, respectively. Symptoms caused by ASGV showed black spots of infected Niitaka cultivar leaves. The ACLSV, ASPV and ASGV isolates showed 83~94% sequence identity at a nucleotide level to other pome fruit virus isolates when analyzed by NCBI BLAST. Pome fruit viruses occurring in pear were ACLSV, ASPV and ASGV. This is the first report of pear trees infected ASPV in Korea.
