  • Fermentative and antioxidative characteristics of red mustard leaf (RML) kimchi, a traditional, fermented Korean vegetable food, were investigated. For the study, RML kimchi was made of RML, with green onion, red pepper, garlic, ginger, and sugar, and fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$. The pH was decreased and total acidity was increased during fermentation. The contents of reducing sugar, total vitamin C, and total Phenol content were 2.36%, 65 mg%, and 59 mg% at the initial stage. Although the content of reducing sugar decreased gradually during fermentation, however, the quantity of ascorbic acid decreased with the tendency of slightly increased at 6 days, and the amount of total phenol was increased. CIE L*, a*, b*values were increased until 6 days of the fermentation. In order to determine the antioxidative activity of RML kimchi itself, the model systems of RML kimchi were made with cooked beef. TBA values of RML kimchi which was fermented for 6 days showed the lowest level in model systems. Water, n-hexane, methanol extracts of RML kimchi had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of formation of peroxide during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effect of KEM and SAF appication on contents change of fatty acids and organic acid of perilla(Perilla Frutescens Britton). Contenst of squalene in perilla leaves on control and KEM/SAF treated were 3.39 mg and 4.22 mg, respectively. Therefore the squalene quantity of KEM/SAF treated leaves was 24.2% more than that of control. A total 6 fatty acids in perilla leaves were analyzed in this study. Percentage of the saturated and unsaturated fatty acid in perilla leaves were 20 and 80%, respectively. Contents of phytosterols in perilla leaf such as campesterol and sitosterol were 2.0 and 20.0 mg, respectively. Therefore sitosterol content was 10 fold more than that of campesterol. The KEM/SAF application on perilla leaf was effective on the change of squalene or phytosterol contents. However effect of that was negligible on the change of fatty acid content.

  • Field experiment and silkworm rearing were conducted for 4years in an attempt to reduce phosphorus fertilizer in mulberry field with high levels of phosphate. Experiments consisted of four treatments; normal recommended P application(13kg P2O5/10a), half, null and no fertilizer on each of 3 mulberry fields, two fields with 300ppm and one filed begining with 450ppm of aviable P2O5 content in soil. One of 300ppm fields was used for leaf quantity and one for leaf quality test by silkworm rearing. Leaf yield in the 300ppm field decreased after the 3rd spring in the no phosphorus treatment and in the 4th fall in the half phosphorus treatment. No yield decrease occurred in 450ppm field for 4 years. Yield decrease did occur in the next rearing season after soil phosphate content in the 10~20cm zone dropped below 150ppm. Phosphorus fertilizer should be applied at this time. Though P2O5 concentration in leaves of no phosphorus treatment was 0.18% lower that that of conventional treatment, there were no difference in cocoon quality.

  • In order to examine the pathogenicity of Alternaria dauci, the causal agent of carrot leaf blight, it is necessary to standardize sporulation conditions to ensure the optimal quantity and quality of spore inoculum. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the growth medium, aeration treatment, and UV treatment with 12-hr photoperiod on the sporulation of A. dauci KACC42997 were investigated. A. dauci KACC42997 was pre-cultured for 7 days in a potato dextrose agar medium at 25℃ in the dark condition. When the pre-culture, after removing aerial mycelia, was re-incubated for 5 days, with simultaneous aeration treatment and 12-hr cycle UV treatment at 20℃, the largest number of spores was produced. One hundred seventy isolates of A. dauci were isolated from major carrot growing regions such as Pyeongchang, Gumi and Jeju and tested for sporulation under the conditions established in this study. Except for 20 strains, all strains produced spores. Statistically significant differences in the extent of sporulation were found among local populations of A. dauci isolates, but no difference was observed in their pathogenicity on carrots.

  • We studied anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activities of bio-active components in stem of Juniperus chinensis L. and leaf of Abies koreana Wilson. Those plants of needle leaf tree family were reported to contain anti-cancer compounds. The anti-bacterial activity was tested by Broth dilution method against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. As results, Juniperus chinensis L. and Abies koreana Wilson extracts showed 17.0% and 8.5% higher anti-bacterial activity than methyl paraben, respectively. The free radical scavenging activity of Juniperus chinensis L. and Abies koreana Wilson extracts showed 45 % and 44 % at 5,000 ppm. We measured polyphenol (catechin equivalent) and flavonoids quantity. The Juniperus chinensis L. extract contained 312 mg/g of polyphenol and 105 mg/g of flavonoids. The Abies koreana Wilson extract contained 280 mg/g of polyphenol and 103.8 mg/g of flavonoids. The cytotoxicity of extracts was measured by neutral red assay. Extracts did not affect the viability of CCK-986sk cells up to a concentration of 1,250 ppm. In conclusion, these data suggest that extracts of needle leaf trees would be usefull as antiseptic agents and anti-oxidants for cosmetic products.

  • Much of previous attention on researches of the decision tree focuses on the splitting criteria and optimization of tree size. Nowadays the quantity of the data increase and relation of variables becomes very complex. And hence, this comes to have plenty number of unnecessary node and leaf. Consequently the confidence of the explanation and forecasting of the decision tree falls off. In this research report, we propose some decision tree algorithms considering the interaction of predictor variables. A generic algorithm, the k-1 Algorithm, dealing with the interaction with a combination of all predictor variable is presented. And then, the extended version k-k Algorithm which considers with the interaction every k-depth with a combination of some predictor variables. Also, we present an improved algorithm by introducing control parameter to the algorithms. The algorithms are tested by real field credit card data, census data, bank data, etc.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the changes in the composition of essential oils for the improvement of air-curing process of burley tobacco leaves. From the essential oils isolated from the cured tobacco leaves by steam distillation method, 90 compounds including 15 acids and esters, 19 alcohols, 23 aldehydes and ketones, 19 hydrocarbons, and 14 miscellaneous compounds, could be identified by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Among them, acids and esters were gradually decreased during the progress of curing after harvesting. A rapid increase in alcohol content was observed in the earlier stage of curing, but thereafter, decrease followed until the end of curing However, aldehyde and ketone groups were continuously increased during curing and were 3 times higher in quantity after curing than at the harvesting time. The concentration of hydrocarbons was increased in the earlier stage of curing, but gradually decreased from the middle stage. The miscellaneous compounds were continuously increased in content until the end stage of curing, with rapid increased in the earlier stage of curing.
