각종 식중독균에 대한 마린엑스의 항균활성을 측정하고, 두부에의 처리효과에 대하여 조사하였다. Paper disc법에 따른 항균활성은 100ml의 마린엑스 첨가시에도 시험균주 모두에서 강하게 나타내었으며, 마린엑스를 각 시험균주에 농도별로 첨가한 후 균의 증식을 조사한 결과 첨가농가 클수록 균의 증식을 더 크게 억제하였다. 마린엑스를 희석한 물에 두부를 첨지하여 상온에 저장하면서 pH, 색도, texture, 대장균수 및 생균수를 조사한 결과 두부 침지액의 pH는 저장 1일에 처음보다 낮아졌다가 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 조금씩 증가하였다. 색도는 L, a, b 및 ${\delta}E$값을 측정하였는데, 유의적인 변화는 없었다. Texture의 경우 hardness와 chewiness는 대조구에 비하여 실험구가 높게 나타났고, 대장균수 및 생균수의 경우는 저장기간이 지남에 따라 대조구에 비하여 실험구에서의 수가 현저히 감소하였으며, 마린엑스의 첨가농도가 높을수록 감소폭이 크게 나타났다.

BACKGROUND: The reclaimed lands for agricultural use managed by the Korean government is consisted of 17,145 hectares of lands under construction and 13,384 hectares of completed lands. In order to utilize these reclaimed lands as competitive agricultural complexes, the government is preparing to develop comprehensive development plans for multiple purposes. For rational land-use planning and soil management, information of the soil chemical properties is necessary. METHODS AND RESULTS: From 2013 to 2016, soil samples were collected from 85 representative sampling sites of the reclaimed lands and analyzed for soil chemical properties including electric conductivity (EC), pH, soil organic matter (SOM), and nutrients. The annual mean soil EC ranged from 5.1 to 8.3 dS m^-1 and have continued to decrease over the years (estimation equation with EC as dependent and year as independent variable was y =0.0736x² - 1.4985x + 9.8305, R² = 0.9753). The pH ranged from 7.3 to 7.6, which was higher than the optimum range (5.5~7.0) for agricultural soils. Soil organic matter (8 to 11 g kg^-1) was lower level than the optimum range (20~30 kg^-1). Available silicate (Av.SiO₂) ranged from 169 to 229 mg kg^-1, which was close to the minimum content (≥157 mg kg^-1) for rice paddy field. Available phosphate (Av.P₂O₅) content (24~39 mg kg^-1) was lower than the optimum range (80~120 mg kg^-1) for rice paddy field. CONCLUSION: For efficient agricultural use of reclaimed lands under government management, our results suggest that the application of organic matter and supplying deficient nutrients as well as desalinization is required.

In this study, antibacterial activity on the chicken feed supplemented with different concentrations of oriental herbal medicine feed additives (OHMFA) extract was tested for some organisms and their preventive effects on the colonization of Salmonella enteritidis (SE) in broiler chickens were examined. The growth of Bacillus cereus, listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus was inhibited on the feed of 0.25% OHMFA and Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were inhibited on the feed containing 2.0% level. The broiler chickens fed a forage additived 1.0% level of OHMFA after inoculation of a $10^7CFU/ml$ of SE were increased in weight than the chicken fed forage without OHMFA. The incidence of SE in liver, spleen and cecum of the chickens fed forage with OHMFA was decreased on the 7th days of postinfection and SE was not isolated from the organs of the chickens after the 14th days of postinfection. Serum antibody titers of the chickens were lowered than the control group.

Compost is used mainly as an organic fertilizer, but it is also used as bedding material for cattle. Dairy cattle have been identified as a main reservoir of pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7. Further, E. coli is regarded as an environmental pathogen that causes bovine clinical mastitis. Hence, its growth in compost spread or compost bedding should be avoided. Physical and chemical conditions, available nutrients and microflora in compost change greatly during the composting process. Since pathogen growth in compost seems to be related to these changes, we assessed the possibility of E. coli growth in compost samples collected at 0, 7, 13, 22, 41, 190 and 360 d. Cattle waste composts with and without added tofu residue were collected from static piles and immediately air-dried. Compost samples were inoculated with a pure culture of E. coli, the moisture content was adjusted to 50%, and the samples were incubated for 5 d at $30^{\circ}C$. The numbers of E. coli in compost before and after incubation were determined by direct plating on Chromocult coliform agar. Almost all compost samples supported E. coli growth. Samples collected during or immediately after the thermophilic phase (day 7) showed the highest growth. Growth in samples more than 13 d old were not significantly different from those of aged compost samples. The addition of tofu residue gave a higher growth than its absence in younger samples collected prior to 13 d. To minimize the risk of environmental mastitis, the use of compost in the initial stage of the process is better avoided.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hazards from onions and their cultivation areas. A total of 32 samples were collected from onion farms and tested for biological (sanitary indicators, and pathogenic bacteria and fungi) and chemical (heavy metals and pesticide residues) hazards. Aerobic bacteria and coliforms were detected at a level of 0.2-7.1 log CFU/g (or mL) in the soil and agricultural water, 1.6-3.6 log CFU/g on surface of the onion, 0.0-6.0 log CFU/hand (or $cm^2$) on the workers' hands, clothes, and gloves, and 4.7 log $CFU/cm^2$ on the onion bags. Fungi were detected at a level of 0.0-5.0 log CFU/g (or mL, hand, or 100 $cm^2$) in all the samples. Staphylococcus aureus was detected at a level of 1.2 log CFU/hand on the workers' hands, the detection level of Bacillus cereus was up to 4.8 log CFU/g in the soil. However, Escherichia coli (and in particular strain O157:H7), Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella spp. were not detected. Although heavy metals were detected in the environment (in soil and agricultural water) and pesticide residues were detected in onion, the levels were lower than the regulation limits.

Gastrointestinal infections kill over two million people each year, and pathogen contamination of livestock causes many cases of food poisoning. Two candidate intestinal probiotic strains, L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. fermentum RC-14 were found to inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bacteroides fragilis. In a series of mouse experiments, L. rhamosus GR-1 and L rhamnosus GG protected against S. typhimurium infection and translocation to the liver and spleen, reduced mortality and induced intestinal phagocytic and immunoglobulin responses. In a second series of experiments, the combination of L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. fermentum RC-14 was superior to L. rhamnosus GG and placebo in protecting the mice from the lethal effect of salmonella. In summary, the use of combinations of probiotic lactobacilli as dietary supplements or foods could be considered for people at high risk of salmonella intestinal infection. Given the post-infection complications that can arise, such natural methods warrant further exploration especially given the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance and the lack of alternative measures available to many developing countries.

The application of organic fertilizer could be accompanied by potential hazards to soil and humans due to trace metals. Livestock manure compost·liquefied fertilizer is a well-established approach for the stabilization of nutrients and the reduction of pathogens and odors in manures, which can be evaluated as compost·liquefied. In this study, the livestock manure compost·liquefied fertilizers produced at 333 liquid manure public resource centers and liquid fertilizer distribution centers were collected from May to December 2019. The nutrient content (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), physicochemical properties, and heavy metal content were investigated. The livestock manure compost·liquefied fertilizer was measured using a mechanical maturity measurement device. The organic matter, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, copper, nickel, zinc, E. coli (O157:H7), Salmonella, etc. of the livestock manure compost·liquefied fertilizers were analyzed. The average heavy metal content in the livestock manure compost·liquefied fertilizer was as follows: Cr 2.9 mg/kg (0.2~8.7 mg/kg), Cu 20.4 mg/kg (1.6~74.1 mg/kg), Ni 1.3 mg/kg (0.4~4.2 mg/kg), and Zn 79.8 mg/kg (3.0~340.7 mg/kg). Although large-scale organic fertilizer plants and resources recycling centers produce good organic (liquid) fertilizers with proper components, it is necessary to standardize livestock manure compost·liquefied fertilizer in order to facilitate efforts to turn livestock manure into useful resources.

국내 시판 중인 선식의 유통 안전성 확보를 위한 기초 기반연구로 대기압 플라즈마 처리한 선식의 품질 특성 평가를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 플라즈마는 컨테이너형 유전격벽 플라즈마로 방전 가스는 공기를 활용하여 0, 5, 10 및 20분 처리하였고 미생물 감균효과, 색도, pH 관능평가를 진행하였다. 일반 호기성 미생물 분석 결과 20분 처리 시 약 1.70 log CFU/g 감소하였으며 B. cereus, B. subtilis 및 E. coli O157:H7을 이용한 접종 시험 결과 각각 2.20, 2.22 및 2.50 log CFU/g 감소하였다. 색도 측정결과 플라즈마 처리에 의해 명도 값은 증가하였으나 적색도 및 황색도는 감소하였다. 플라즈마 처리에 의한 선식의 pH 측정 결과 처리시간에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 플라즈마 처리에 의해 단백질 지질산화가 일어나 관능 품질이 저하되는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 공기로 방전된 대기압 플라즈마 기술은 선식의 품질안전성을 개선할 수 있으나, 관능적 품질 특성 개선을 위한 후속연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

발효식품의 제조에 유용한 starter 개발 및 probiotics로서 이용 가능성을 타진하기 위하여 항균성 물질을 생산하는 Lactobacillus amylovorus IMC-1 균주를 이용한 skim milk medium에서의 산생성, 단백질 분해활성, lactose 분해활성 및 유사구균과 혼합발효 그리고 병원성 세균에 대한 살균력 등을 검토하였다. L. amylovorus IMC-1은 10% skim milk에 yeast extract를 첨가하여 12시간 배양하였을 때 산도 0.8%이었고, 72시간째에는 2.7%로 우수한 산 생성력을 보였다. IMC-1 균주의 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 활성은 균체 1 mg당 약 $39{\mu}M/minute$로 매우 강한 반면, $phospho-{\beta}-galactosidase$의 활성은 매우 낮았다. 또한 이 균주는 10% skim milk에서 배양 12시간째 $6\;{\mu}g/mL$, 72시간째에 $69\;{\mu}g/mL$의 유리 tyrosine을 생산하여 단백질 분해활성이 낮았다. 전기영동상의 band pattern으로부터 casein중 ${\alpha}-casein$을 주로 이용하며, ${\beta}-casein$은 거의 이용하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 10% skim milk에서 IMC-1 균주 및 St. thermophilus NIAI 510의 단독 또는 혼합배양을 실시한 결과, 혼합배양, IMC-1 균주 및 St. thermophilus 순으로 산 생성력이 높았으며, 유산구균 단독배양 및 혼합배양에서는 시간이 경과함에 따라 치즈 향기가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 10% skim milk medium에서 혼합배양에 의한 최적의 유산발효 시간은 산 생성력 및 공존 균수 등을 고려할 때, yeast extract 0.1% 첨가시에는 16시간, 0.5% 첨가시에는 12시간 배양하는 것이었다. IMC-1이 생산한 항균성 물질은 Escherichia coli O157을 배양 24시간째 2 log정도 감소시켰고, 48시간 배양 후에는 피검균이 검출되지 않았다. 또한 Shigella flexneri는 배양 4시간째 2 log이상 감소하였고, 6시간 배양 후에는 검출되지 않아 항균성 물질은 강한 살균작용을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.
