본 연구에서는 비타민과 단백질이 풍부하여 높은 영양가를 가지고 있으며, 콜레스테롤 제거 및 간 손상 방지와 염증, 심장병 등의 치료 효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 모링가 잎 추출물의 새로운 소재로서의 가능성을 검토하고자 항산화 활성과 항당뇨, 항염증 및 알코올분해능을 탐색하였다. 모링가 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 총페놀 함량은 각각 45.49와 63.06 mg TAE/g으로 나타났다. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical 소거능은 1 mg/mL 농도의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 60.81%와 71.29%로 에탄올 추출물의 소거능이 높게 나타났다. 모링가 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 superoxide dismutase 유사 활성은 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으며, 5 mg/mL 농도의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 2.82%와 7.40%로 에탄올 추출물의 활성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 모링가 추출물의 혈당 강하 효과를 확인하기 위해 실시한 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ 활성 억제 효과는 5 mg/mL 농도의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 45.19%와 88.14%로 에탄올 추출물의 저해 활성이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 숙취 해소능을 알아보기 위해 alcohol dehydrogenase 및 acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 활성을 측정한 결과 두 효소 모두 모링가 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 농도에 의존적으로 증가하였다. Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)에 의하여 유도된 NO 합성은 열수 및 에탄올 추출물 1 mg/mL 농도에서 28.50%와 7.90%로 LPS 처리군(41.96%)보다 각각 32.1%와 81.2% 현저히 감소하였으며, 모링가 열수 및 에탄올 추출물이 tacrine으로 유도된 Hep3B 간암 세포주에 대하여 유의적인 보호 활성을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에서와 같이 모링가 잎 열수 및 에탄올 추출물은 우수한 항당뇨, 항염증, 숙취 해소 효과 및 간세포 보호 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났기에 기능성 소재로서의 활용도가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

The objectives of this research were to study the applicability and limitations of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) for the removal of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) from the groundwater. PRB column tests were conducted using reactive material with Moringa Oleifera Mass - Bentonite (Mom-Bentonite). Most of the PCE in the groundwater was degraded and/or captured (sorpted) in the zone containing activated material (MOM-Bentonite). The removal rate of PCE from the groundwater was 90% and 75% after 30 days and 180 days, respectively. The effect of micro-organisms on the long-term permeability and reactivity of the barrier is not well understood. MOM-Bentonite PRB system in this research has the potential to be developed into an environmentally and economically acceptable technology for the in situ remediation of PCE-contaminated groundwater.

본 연구는 DNCB로 유도한 아토피 피부염 유사 병변 실험동물 모델을 활용한 in vivo와 피부 각질세포주를 이용한 in vitro 연구를 통하여 아로니아와 모링가 종자 추출물의 아토피 피부염 개선 효능을 분석하였다. 조직학적 검사 결과 아로니아 추출물(AM) 또는 모링가 종자 추출물(MO) 단독 투여 시보다 1:1로 혼합한 복합물(AM-MO)을 투여했을 때 표피 부분의 과증식과 염증세포의 침윤이 감소하였으며, 염증 및 부종을 나타내는 피부 두께를 측정한 결과에서도 추출물 단독으로 투여하였을 때보다 AM-MO 투여 시 DNCB 도포군과 비교하여 유의하게 감소함을 보여주었다. 피부장벽 손상으로 인한 수분 손실에 대해서는 유의한 효과를 나타내지 않았으며, 혈청 IgE 수준은 AM과 MO 각각 단독으로 투여했을 때보다 혼합 투여하였을 때 현저하게 억제되었다. In vitro에서는 피부각질세포주인 HaCaT 세포를 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 $IFN-{\gamma}$로 자극하면 발현이 증가하는 Th2 케모카인 TARC 및 MDC에 대하여 mRNA 수준을 분석하였을 때, 이 역시 단독 추출물 처리 시보다 복합물 처리 시 억제 효과가 더 뛰어남을 확인하였다. 종합적으로 DNCB로 유도된 아토피 피부염 in vivo 모델에서 아로니아 및 모링가 종자 추출물은 단독으로 투여하는 것보다 복합물로 투여하였을 때 현저하게 피부 염증 및 혈청 내 IgE 생성을 억제하였으며, 피부각질 세포주를 이용한 in vitro 연구에서도 추출물 단독 처리보다 혼합하여 처리하였을 때 더 유의한 Th2 케모카인 억제 활성을 나타내었다. 이로 인해 아로니아 및 모링가 종자 추출물은 복합적으로 사용하였을 때 상호작용에 의해서 더 효과적인 아토피 피부염 개선 식품 소재로써 활용될 가능성이 높을 것으로 생각된다.

High soil salinity is the most severe threat to global rice production as it causes a significant decline in rice yield. Here, we investigated the effects of various plant extracts on rice plant stress associated with high salinity. Additionally, we examined various physiological and biochemical parameters such as growth, photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll content, and lipid peroxidation - in rice plants after treatment with selected plant extracts under salt stress conditions. Of the 11 extracts tested, four - soybean leaf, soybean stem, moringa (Moringa oleifera), and Undaria pinnatifida extracts - were found to effectively reduce salt stress. A reduction of only 3-23% in shoot fresh weight was observed in rice plants under salt stress that were treated with these extracts, compared to the 43% reduction observed in plants that were exposed to stress but not given plant extract treatments (control plants). The effectiveness varied with the concentration of the plant extracts. Water content was higher in rice plants treated with the extracts than in the control plants after 6 d of salt stress, but not after 4 d of salt stress. Although photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm), electron transport rate (ETR), and the content of pigments (chlorophyll and carotenoid) varied based on the types and levels of stress and the extracts that the rice plants were treated with, generally, photosynthetic efficiency and pigment content were higher in the treated rice compared to control plants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and malondialdehyde (MDA), increased as the duration of stress increased. ROS and MDA levels were lower in the treated rice than in the control plants. Proline and soluble sugar accumulation also increased with the duration of the stress period. However, proline and soluble sugar accumulation were lower in the treated rice than in the control plants. Generally, the values of all the parameters investigated in this study were similar, regardless of the plant extract used to treat the rice plants. Thus, the extracts found to be effective can be used to alleviate the adverse effects of stress on rice crops associated with high-salinity soils.

The removal of Cd(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solution by an agricultural solid waste biomass prepared from Moringa oleifera bark (MOB) was investigated. The biosorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the effect of initial pH, contact time, biosorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration and temperature on the biosorption of Cd(II) and Cu(II) were studied using the batch sorption technique. Kinetic studies indicated that the biosorption process of the metal ions followed the pseudo-second order model. The biosorption data was analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Temkin isotherm models. Based on the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum biosorption capacities for Cd(II) and Cu(II) onto MOB were 39.41 and 36.59 mg/g at 323 K, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters, Gibbs free energy (${\Delta}G^o$), enthalpy (${\Delta}H^o$), and entropy (${\Delta}S^o$) changes, were also calculated, and the values indicated that the biosorption process was endothermic, spontaneous and feasible in the temperature range of 303-323 K. It was concluded that MOB powder can be used as an effective, low cost, and environmentally friendly biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution.

Many antinutritional and toxic factors abound in tropical seeds, which are also generally rich in nutrients and therefore more prone to attack from herbivores. Antinutritional and toxic factors are considered to defend seeds against environmental vagaries and thus help to protect them. These factors though good for the plant, cause deleterious effects or are even toxic to animals and man. The conventional seeds cultivated for oil or non-oil purposes, and general aspects of antinutritional factors are not presented here as these have already been discussed widely by many workers. Deficits in conventional protein and energy sources in the tropics have stimulated a quest for alternative feeds both for animals and humans. This article attempts to highlight two new oilseed crops, Jatropha curcas and Moringa oleifera, and in addition deals with some under-utilized seeds with potential as animal feed. Most of these seed plants are adapted to various marginal growing conditions in the tropics and can help to mitigate the prevailing deficit in protein and energy sources. Antinutritional and toxic factors in seed or seed meal, various approaches to detoxify seed meal, and future research and development priorities for their exploitation as animal feeds are presented.

Two methods of feed preference trials were compared to evaluate the acceptability of 5 fresh foliages: Leucaena leucocephala, Moringa oleifera, Portulaca oleracea, Guazuma ulmifolia, and Brosimum alicastrum that was included as control. The evaluation included chemical analyses and forage intake by rabbits. The first method was a cafeteria trial; 12 California growing rabbits aged 8 wk, allocated in individual cages, were offered the five forage plants at the same time inside the cage, while in the second trial 60 California growing rabbits aged 8 wk, allocated individually, were randomly distributed into 5 experimental groups (n = 12/group); for each group just one forage species was offered at a time. The testing period for each method lasted for 7 d, preceded by one week of adaptation. The results showed that B. alicastrum and L. lecocephala were the most preferred forages while on the contrary G. ulmifolia was the least preferred one by rabbits. The results also revealed that the CV% value for the 2nd method (16.32%), which the tested forages were presented separately to rabbits, was lower and methodologically more acceptable than such value for the $1^{st}$ method (34.28%), which all forages were presented together at the same time. It can be concluded that a range of tropical forages were consumed in acceptable quantities by rabbits, suggesting that diets based on such forages with a concentrate supplement could be used successfully for rabbit production. However, growth performance studies are still needed before recommendations could be made on appropriate ration formulations for commercial use.
