식중독 미생물에 의한 식중독 예방은 물론 부족하기 쉬운 필수 미량원소의 섭취량을 증가시키기 위하여 아연 및 게르마늄 등의 필수 미량원소를 강화시긴 식품소재의 항균효과 및 그 이용가능성을 검토하였다. 식중독 6 균주에 대하여 gelatin, dextrin, 불가사리 및 어류에서 추출한 collagen등의 식품소재에 각종 미량원소를 강화하여 항균활성을 측정한 결과, 식품소재의 종류에 따른 항균활성의 차이는 거의 없었다. 사용된 미량금속 중 아연과 게르마늄만이 식중독세균에 대하여 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 특히, 아연 강화 식품소재는 P. fluorescens와 S. aureus에 대한 항균활성이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났고, E. coli, V. parahaemolyticus, B. cereus, E. subtilis에 대하여는 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. 아연을 강화한 식품소재는 산성영역에서 안정하였으며, 게르마늄 강화 식품소재는 산성영역보다 알칼리 영역에서 보다 안정하였다. 또한, 미량원소 강화 식품소재는 열에 매우 안정하므로 가열식품인 통조림 제품이나 레토르트 식품에도 사용 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 식품의 코팅 제로 사용되고 있는 gelatin과 아연을 혼합한 용액에 시판 어묵을 침지하여 코팅한 것을 저온 및 상온에 저 장하면서 생균수 변화를 살펴본 결과, 저장온도 $10^{\circ}C$에서 대조구는 초기부패$(10^{7-8}\;CFU/g)$ 까지 7일정도 걸리는데 반하여 시료 용액에 침지한 어묵은 IS일정도로 저장기간을 8일정도 더 연장시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. $25^{\circ}C$와 $35^{\circ}C$의 경우도 $1\%$ zinc acetate와 $3\%$ gelatin의 혼합 용액으로 코팅된 어묵의 경우 대조구에 비하여 균 증식이 억제되었다. 따라서 아연 강화 식품소재 코팅에 의하여 식품오염 세균의 증식을 억제시켜 어묵 제품의 유통기 간을 연장시키는 것은 물론 필수 미량원소인 아연의 섭취량을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Artemisia capillaris THUNB is a perennial herb that belongs to the family Compositae spp and the most common plant among the various herbal folk remedies used in treatment of abdominal pain, hepatitis, chronic liver disease, jaundice and coughing in Korea. In this study, antimicrobial effects of Artemisia capillaris extracts on the food poisoning bacteria were investigated for further clinical application, which is an alternative for the use of antibiotics and their unexpected resistance. Artemisia capillaris extract using ethyl acetate showed the highest antimicrobial effects on S. enteritidis, E. coli O157 : H7, L. monocytogenes and S. aureus. The chloroform extract showed strong effects on all kinds of bacteria; whereas ethanol and methanol extracts showed weaker effects. Finally, ether and water extracts showed the weakest effects under the same conditions. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ethyl acetate extract was 1 mg/mL for E. coli O157 : H7 and L. monocytogenes, and 2 mg/mL for S. enteritidis and S. aureus. The inhibitory effects on all the bacteria continued for 12 hours after incubation using 20 mg/mL and 30 mg/mL of ethyl acetate extract. The inhibitory effects continued maximally for 72 hours. The results of these studies indicate Artemisia capillaris extract exhibited excellent antimicrobial and inhibitory effects on the food poisoning pathogenic bacteria; S. enteritidis, E. coli O157 : H7, L. monocytogenes and S. aureus.

We inoculated different combinations of three starter candidates, Bacillus licheniformis, Staphylococcus succinus, and Tetragenococcus halophilus, into sterilized soybeans to predict their contributions to volatile compound production through soybean fermentation. Simultaneously, we added NaCl to soybean cultures to evaluate its effect on the volatile compounds profile. Cells in soybean cultures (1.5% NaCl) nearly reached their maximum growth in a day of incubation, while cell growth was delayed by increasing NaCl concentrations in soybean cultures. The dominance of B. licheniformis and S. succinus in the mixed cultures of three starter candidates switched to T. halophilus as the NaCl concentration increased from 1.5% to 14% (w/w). Seventeen volatile compounds were detected from the control and starter candidate-inoculated soybean cultures with and without the addition of NaCl. Principal component analysis of these volatile compounds concluded that B. licheniformis and S. succinus made major contributions to producing a specific volatile compound profile from soybean cultures where both species exhibited good growth. 3-Hydroxybutan-2-one, butane-2,3-diol, and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine are specific odor notes for B. licheniformis, and 3-methylbutyl acetate and 2-phenylethanol are specific for S. succinus. Octan-3-one and 3-methylbutan-1-ol were shown to be decisive volatile compounds for determining the involvement of S. succinus in the soybean culture containing 7% NaCl. 3-Methylbutyl acetate and 3-methylbutan-1-ol were also produced by T. halophilus during soybean fermentation at an appropriate level of NaCl. Although S. succinus and T. halophilus exhibited growth on the soybean cultures containing 14% NaCl, species-specific volatile compounds determining the directionality of the volatile compounds profile were not produced.

산사추출물의 DPPH free radical 소거법에 의한 항산화활성은 ethyl acetate 분획($RC_{50}=4.39{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), butanol 분획($RC_{50}=6.25{\mu}g/m{\ell}$)에서 강한 항산화 활성을 보였으며, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol이나 BHA보다 유사하거나 강한 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. Linoleic acid에 대한 항지질과산화 활성 실험은 15일 째에 물층을 제외한 추출물, 분획물에서 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 박테리아에 대한 항균실험은 Staphylococcus aureus에서만 활성을 보이지 않았을 뿐 다른 피검균에서는 높은 활성을 보였다. 다만 fungi strain인 Candida albicands에 대해 각각 250 및 $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$의 생육 억제 농도를 나타내었다. 항보체 활성화능을 측정한 결과, 물 층 18.4%를 제외한 다른 분획물은 10% 이하의낮은 억제효과를 보이거나 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 산사 추출물은 항산화 활성, 항지질과산화 활성, 항미생물 활성이 우수하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 산사 추출물을 이용하여 식품 및 음료 등과 같은 기능성 식품으로서의 다양한 산업적 응용분야에 널리 응용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neuronal loss and extracellular senile plaques containing $\beta$-amyloid peptide (A$\beta$). The deposition of the A$\beta$ peptide following proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by $\beta$-secretase (BACE1) and $\gamma$-secretase is a critical feature in the progression of AD. Among the plant extracts tested, the ethanol extract of Petasites japonicus leaves showed novel protective effect on B103 neuroblastoma cells against neurotoxicity induced by A$\beta$, as well as a strong suppressive effect on BACE1 activity. Ethanol extracts of P. japonicus leaves were sequentially extracted with methylene chloride, ethyl acetate and butanol and evaluated for potential to inhibit BACE1, as well as to suppress A$\beta$-induced neurotoxicity. Exposure to A$\beta$ significantly reduced cell viability and increased apoptotic cell death. However, pretreatment with ethyl acetate fraction of P. japonicus leaves prior to A$\beta$ (50 ${\mu}M$) significantly increased cell viability (p<0.01). In parallel, cell apoptosis triggered by A$\beta$ was also dramatically inhibited by ethyl acetate fraction of P. japonicus leaves. Moreover, the ethyl acetate fraction suppressed caspase-3 activity to the basal level at 30 ppm. Taken together, these results demonstrated that P. japonicus leaves appear to be a useful source for the inhibition and/or prevention of AD by suppression of BACE1 activity and attenuation of A$\beta$ induced neurocytotoxicity.

Background: Turmeric ($Curcuma$ $longa$) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. However, despite the progress in research with $C.$ $longa$, there is still a big lacuna in the information on the active principles and their molecular targets. More particularly very little is known about the role of cell cycle genes $p57^{kip2}$ and Rad9 during chemoprevention by turmeric and its derivatives especially in prostate cancer cell lines. Methods: Accordingly, in this study, we have examined the antitumor effect of several extracts of $C.$ $longa$ rhizomes by successive fractionation in clonogenic assays using highly metastatic PC-3M prostate cancer cell line. Results: A mixture of isopropyl alcohol: acetone: water: chloroform: and methanol extract of $C.$ $longa$ showed significant bioactivity. Further partition of this extract showed that bioactivity resides in the dichloromethane soluble fraction. Column chromatography of this fraction showed presence of biological activity only in ethyl acetate eluted fraction. HPLC, UV-Vis and Mass spectra studies showed presence three curcuminoids in this fraction besides few unidentified components. Conclusions: From these observations it was concluded that the ethyl acetate fraction showed not only inhibition of colony forming ability of PC-3M cells but also up-regulated cell cycle genes $p57^{kip2}$ and Rad9 and further reduced the migration and invasive ability of prostate cancer cells.
