To fabricate white LED having a high color rendering index value, red color phosphor mixed with the green color phosphor together in the blue chip, namely the blue chips with RG phosphors packaging is most favorable for high power white LEDs. In our previous papers, we reported on successful syntheses of $Sr_{2-}$ $Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ and $CaAlSiN_3$ phosphors for red phosphor. In this work, for high power green phosphor, greenemitting ternary nitride $Ba_3Si_6O_{12}N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor was synthesized in a high frequency induction furnace under $N_2$ gas atmosphere at temperatures up to $1400^{\circ}C$ using $EuF_3$ as a raw material for $Eu^{2+}$ dopant. The effects of molar ratio of component and experimental conditions on luminescence property of prepared phosphors have been investigated. The structure and luminescence properties of prepared $Ba_3Si_6O_{12}N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors were investigated by XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The excitation spectra of $Ba_3Si_6O_{12}N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors indicated broad excitation wavelength range of 250 - 500 nm, namely from UV to blue region with distinct enhanced emission spectrum peaking at ${\approx}530nm$.

Background: Ginseng berries (GBs) show temporal metabolic variations among different maturation stages, determining their organoleptic and functional properties. Methods: We analyzed metabolic variations concomitant to five different maturation stages of GBs including immature green (IG), mature green (MG), partially red (PR), fully red (FR), and overmature red (OR) using mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomic profiling and multivariate analyses. Results: The partial least squares discriminant analysis score plot based on gas chromatography-MS datasets highlighted metabolic disparity between preharvest (IG and MG) and harvest/postharvest (PR, FR, and OR) GB extracts along PLS1 (34.9%) with MG distinctly segregated across PLS2 (18.2%). Forty-three significantly discriminant primary metabolites were identified encompassing five developmental stages (variable importance in projection > 1.0, p < 0.05). Among them, most amino acids, organic acids, 5-C sugars, ethanolamines, purines, and palmitic acid were detected in preharvest GB extracts, whereas 6-C sugars, phenolic acid, and oleamide levels were distinctly higher during later maturation stages. Similarly, the partial least squares discriminant analysis based on liquid chromatography-MS datasets displayed preharvest and harvest/postharvest stages clustered across PLS1 (11.1 %); however, MG and PR were separated from IG, FR, and OR along PLS2 (5.6 %). Overall, 24 secondary metabolites were observed significantly discriminant (variable importance in projection > 1.0, p < 0.05), with most displaying higher relative abundance during preharvest stages excluding ginsenosides Rg1 and Re. Furthermore, we observed strong positive correlations between total flavonoid and phenolic metabolite contents in GB extracts and antioxidant activity. Conclusion: Comprehending the dynamic metabolic variations associated with GB maturation stages rationalize their optimal harvest time per se the related agroeconomic traits.

The parts of leaves, flowers and stems in ginseng were obtained for analyzing the component of saponin on 15th April, 25th April, 5th May, 25th May, which were considered as ginseng foliation stage. The total saponin content of the leaves were 97.29, 66.42, 67.61, 36.24 mg/g, respectively, in which the content of Re, $Rb_1$ and Rd were more than 2/3 amount of total saponin. Especially, the saponin content of leaves decreased according to the sequential collection days, in which the similar results were observed from the flowers and stems of ginseng. The total saponin content of the flowers and stems were 141.09,143.84,139.25,133.47 and 13.32, 9.85, 8.00, 4.65 mg/g, respectively. Among them, the content of Re, Rd and $Rb_2$ in flowers were more than 2/3 while the content of Re, $Rg_1$ and Rd in stems showed more than 9/10 amount of total saponin. The total saponin content of individual leaf were 19.46, 28.56, 58.82 and 169.24 mg/plant, 2.53, 2.76, 5.20 and 12.32 mg/plant in stems, and 14.11, 30.21, 37.60 and 73.41 mg/plant in flowers. Therefore, the total saponin content of aboveground parts in ginseng were leaves > flowers > stems.

The effect of alloy composition on the glass forming ability (GFA) of the Ca-rich Ca-Mg-Zn alloys has been investigated in $Ca_{65}Mg_{5+x}Zn_{30-x}$ and $Ca_{55+x}Mg_{15}Zn_{30-x}$ (x=0, 5, 10, 15, 20) alloys. In a wide composition range of 15-25% Zn and 10-20% Mg bulk metallic glass (BMG) samples with the diameter larger than 6 mm are fabricated by conventional copper mold casting method in air atmosphere. Among the alloys investigated, the $Ca_{65}Mg_{15}Zn_{20}$ alloy exhibits the highest GFA enabling to form BMG sample with the diameter of at least 15 mm. The crystalline phase formed during solidification of $Ca_{65}Mg_{15}Zn_{20}$ ($D_{max}=15\;mm$) could be identified as a mixture of $Ca_3Zn$ and $CaMg_2$ cause by the redistribution of the constituent elements on long-range scale. The compressive fracture strength and fracture elongation of the $Ca_{65}Mg_{15}Zn_{20}$ BMG are 602 MPa and 2.08% respectively. The ${\sigma}$ parameter which has been recently proposed for evaluating GFA exhibits better correlation with GFA of Ca-Mg-Zn alloys than other parameters suggested so far such as ${\Delta}T_x$, $T_{rg}$, K, ${\gamma}$, and ${\Delta}T^*$ parameters.

This study was carried out to investigate ginsenoside content in different root parts and the correlation between root diameter and ginsenoside composition of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer cultivated by direct seeding. The unit contents of ginsenoside were 29.65, 28.76, 26.34 mg/g, respectively in 4, 5, 6 years old. However, the total contents of ginsenoside were 431.97, 606.56, 657.80 mg/root, respectively. Total ginsenoside content of fine root was higher than that of main root and lateral root. These tendencies were related to decrease by the increase of root diameter. When diameter of main root and lateral root were the same in different ages, the total ginsenoside content was higher in the order of 4 > 5 > 6 years old roots. Except for ginsenoside-Rg1, other ginsenosides components (PD/PT and total ginsenosides) had highly negative correlation with the root diameter within whole root, main root, lateral root and fine root, which indicated that ginsenoside content is correlated to root diameter. As results, it is suggested that ginsenoside content can be predicted.

오래전부터 약재로서 이용되어온 인삼(Panax ginseng)은 그 효능이 과학적으로 밝혀지면서 세계적으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 그러나, 서양삼에 비해 점차 뒤처지고 있는 우리나라의 인삼산업의 경쟁력 확보를 위해 기능성 식품으로서의 인삼개발이 필요한 실정이다. 발효인삼은 유용한 미생물을 probiotic으로서 공급할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 미생물에 의해 인삼의 ginsenoside 성분이 특이적으로 전환되어 기능적으로 우수한 제품이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인삼분말만을 영양분으로 한 액체 배지에서 청국장에서 분리된 Bacillus 균주와 유산균의 생장능 및 인삼의 주요 ginsenoside의 전환능력을 알아보았다. 인삼 2.5% (w/v), 1% (w/v)의 인삼분말만을 영양분으로 한 액체배지에서 생장능과 발효 후 ginsenoside의 전환 여부를 확인하였다. 사용한 Bacillus 균주와 유산균 모두 인삼배지에서 $10^{7}\;CFU/ml$을 초과하는 생장능을 보였고, Bacillmus의 경우 ginsenoside $Rg_{1},\;Rb_{1},\;Rb_{2},\;Rc,\;Rd$간에 각 균주마다 특이적인 ginsenoside 전환 반응을 보였다. 따라서, 이 균주들은 발효인삼의 제조를 위한 접종균주로서 이용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

Background: In Korea, 6-year-old ginseng root is economically more important than 4 or 5-year-old roots. In general, the root age is determined by counting the number of stem vestiges. However, this method does not accurately estimate ginseng root age. Methods and Results: In this study, the stem vestige counting method was used to survey a total of 18,395 fresh ginsengs cultured in 2014, and 2015, to determine the accuracy of this method. The proportion of 6-year-old roots, with more than four stem vestiges, was 46.1% in 2014. For the cultivar Chunpoong cultivated in Eumseong and Goesan countries in 2015, the proportion of more than four stem vestiges was 55.9%, and 43.5%, respectively. The proportion of more than four stem vestiges for the Gumpoong cultivated in Eumseong and Yangpyeong countries was 67.0%, and 35.1%, respectively, whereas that for the cultivar Yunpoong was 36.0% and 61.0%, respectively. Moreover, it was confirmed that differences in the levels of Rg1 will enable root age determination. Conclusions: Root age determination by the stem vestige test was found to differ depending on the environmental and cultivation conditions. To determine the age of ginseng roots, a comprehensive method, such as counting stem vestiges and evaluating differences in ginsenoside levels, should be applied.
