Phenolic compounds from 7 species of naturalized invader species and Korean wild plants were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Eleven phenolic compounds including benzoic acid were identified. The extract of naturalized plants was significantly more inhibitory to seed germination and seedling growth of the both naturalized and Korean wild plants. The content of total phenolic compounds in each extract were 43.5 mg/l in Ailanthus altissima as the maximum amount and 25.5 mg/l in Phytolacca americana as the minimum. Phytotoxic substances of ethanol extracts was investigated for antifungal activity against 23 selected fungus species. The antifungal activity of Phytolacca americana showed the greatest clear zone of 23 mm in Aspergillus awamori and its activity had an effect against 6 fungus species. Ailanthus altissima formed the greatest clear zone of 26 mm in Erwinia carotovora sub. sp. carotovora and had an effect agsinst 2 fungus species.

The antimicrobial extracts of rheum palmatum and coptis chinensis root as well as grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) were applied to dipping treatment for keeping qualities of cucumbers, respectively, which were then packed in low density polyethylene(LDPE) films incorporated with 1 % antimicrobial extracts and stored $10^{\circ}C$. Dipping and packaging in the antimicrobial agents suppressed the growth of putrefactive microorgani는 and the decay ratio of cucumbers. In addition, the loss ratio of ascortic acid content and their weight was decreased during the sotrage of cucumbers. Consequently, the combined method of dippinf and packaging in antimicrobial agents turned out to be superior to dipping treatment or film-packaging in the view point of decay ratio and the keeping qualities of cucumbers.

The manuscript reports synthesis of exceptionally stable gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using Momordica charantia fruit extract. The synthesis approach was optimized by refining three experimental variables including source of the fruit extract (peel, seed, and seed coat), pH of the solution, and temperature of the reaction medium. As synthesized GNPs showed excellent stability against various thiolated compounds (e.g., thioglycolic acid, thiourea, ${\text\tiny{L}}-cystine$, 1-dodecanethiol, and cysteamine hydrochloride). Moreover, these nanoparticles showed distinctive colorimetric responses against $Cd^{2+}$ and thiophenol (TP) from their potential interferences. The limit of detection (LOD) values for $Cd^{2+}$ and TP were determined as 0.186 and $0.154{\mu}M$, respectively.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common microorganisms and causes foodborne diseases. In particular, biofilm-forming S. aureus is more resistant to antimicrobial agents and sanitizing treatments than planktonic cells. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the anti-biofilm effects of cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from cucumber jangajji compared to grapefruit seed extract (GSE). CFS and GSE inhibited and degraded S. aureus biofilms. The adhesion ability, auto-aggregation, and exopolysaccharide production of CFS-treated S. aureus, compared to those of the control, were significantly decreased. Moreover, biofilm-related gene expression was altered upon CFS treatment. Scanning electron microscopy images confirmed that CFS exerted anti-biofilm effects against S. aureus. Therefore, these results suggest that S. cerevisiae CFS has anti-biofilm potential against S. aureus strains.

본 연구에서는 작약(Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) 종자 오일과 유박의 생리활성의 비교를 통해 작약 종자 유박 활용에 가능성을 평가하고자 수행되었다. 작약 종자 유박 추출물의 추출 수율은 22-45%로 추출용매에 따른 차이를 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드와 radical소거능은 오일보다 유박 추출물에서 유의하게 높았다. 작약 유박 추출물의 항균활성은 양성대조군에 비해 우수하였으며, 이는 48시간까지 지속되었다. 또한 LPS로 유도된 염증 반응은 유박 추출물 처리시 현저하게 감소하여 작약 종자 유박의 항염증 활성이 입증되었다. 본 연구를 통해 작약 종자 오일 뿐만 아니라 유박 추출물의 우수한 항산화, 항균 및 항염증 활성을 나타내어 바이오헬스 소재로서 작약 종자 유박의 활용 가능성이 확인되었다.

The seed of Torreya nucifera, which has been widely used as folk medicine in the treatment of tapeworm infestation, was pharmacologically examined to isolate the biologically active component. It was found that the water insoluble part of the methanol extract of the seed, which was previously pressed to remove inactive oil fraction, showed remarkable anthelmintic effects on the rat infected with Hymenolepis diminuta (rat tapeworm).

딸기를 항균소재에 침지 처리한 후 1% 농도로 항균성 소재를 첨가시킨 저밀도폴리에틸렌(LDPE) 필름에 의하여 딸기를 싸서 포장하고 5$^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 미생물 성장, 부패율, 텍스쳐, 화학적 품질을 측정한 결과 대조구에 비교해서 긍정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 즉, 항균성 소재를 포함시킨 LDPE 필름은 무첨가 대조 필름에 비해 호기성 총균수, 효모/곰팡이수로 측정된 미생물의 증식을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 미생물 증식억제의 효과로 인하여 항균성 필름은 포장된 딸기의 부패율을 낮추어 주고, 연화를 억제하였다. 딸기의 저장 중 pH는 상승하고 적정산도는 감소하였으며 가용성 고형분은 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 포장 처리구간에는 유의하고 일관성있는 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 대조구 LDPE에 비교해서 항균필름의 효과를 재확인 할 수 있었으며, 황련추출물 및 GFSE등과 같은 항균소재에의 침지 처리과정을 항균필름 포장 방법과 병행하여 사용함으로써 딸기의 신선도를 연장하는 효과를 극대화 할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 연구결과로 미루어, 본 연구에서 그 기능과 효과를 구명한 천연항균소재는 수확한 딸기의 항균용처리제재 및 포장 필름 소재로 선도유지효과를 기대할 수 있어, 딸기의 생산기반 보호와 농가소득에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

경제적이면서 효과적인 항균성 필름의 생산방법으로서 corona 저려한 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LOPE) 필름에 천연항균성 물질을 코팅하는 방법을 개발하고, 이를 딸기의 포장에 적용하였다. 보다 안정한 항균제 코팅 필름의 생산을 위하여 결착제와 함께 코팅한 필름의 생산방법을 검토한 결과, polyamide수지용 과 항균생 물질을 함께 코팅함에 의하여 안정한 코팅을 행성할 수 있었다. 이의 항균성을 미생물 평판 배지 상에서 확인한 결과, 1% 자몽종자추출물로 코팅한 LDPE필름이 Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacullus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Micrococcus flavus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 균주에 대해서 항균활성을 보여서 가장 우수하였다. 반면에 10% 대황추출물 코팅한 필름은 오직 M fiav$\mu$s에 대해서만 항균성올 보였고, 10% 대황추출물 코팅 필름은 실험에 사용된 10균주에 대해서 항균성을 나타내지 많았다. 결착제를 이용한 향균제 코팅필름은 딸기의 포장에 적용시 환경기체조절 포장에 작용하였을 때에 포장내에 $O_2$ 1.4-5.5%, $O_2$ 5.7~7.9%의 범위를 형성시켰으며, 비슷한 기체조성을 가진 일반 LDPE필름의 밀봉포장에 비해서 호기성 박테리아와 효모/곰팡이의 생육을 억제하였으나, 부패율 억제에는 뚜렷한 효과를 보이지는 않았다.

Objective: An experiment was conducted to determine the nutrient intake, digestibility, microbial protein synthesis, haemato-biochemical attributes, immune response and growth performance of Gaddi kids fed with oat fodder based basal diet supplemented with either tea seed or tea seed saponin (TSS) extract. Methods: Eighteen male kids, $7.03{\pm}0.16$ months of age and $19.72{\pm}0.64kg$ body weight, were distributed into three groups, $T_0$ (control), $T_1$, and $T_2$, consisting of 6 animals each in a completely randomized design. The kids were fed a basal diet consisting of concentrate mixture and oat fodder (50:50). Animals in group III ($T_2$) were supplemented with TSS at 0.4% of dry matter intake (DMI), and group II ($T_1$) were supplemented with tea seed at 2.6% of DMI to provide equivalent dose of TSS as in $T_2$. Two metabolism trials were conducted, 1st after 21 days and 2nd after 90 days of feeding to evaluate the short term and long term effects of supplementation. Results: The tea seed ($T_1$) or TSS ($T_2$) supplementation did not affect DMI as well as the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, and acid detergent fibre. Nutritive value of diet and plane of nutrition were also comparable for both the periods. However, the average daily gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were improved (p<0.05) for $T_1$ and $T_2$ as compared to $T_0$. The microbial protein supply was also higher (p<0.05) for $T_1$ and $T_2$ for both the periods. There was no effect of supplementation on most blood parameters. However, the triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased (p<0.05) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol level increased (p<0.05) in $T_2$ as compared with $T_0$ and $T_1$. Supplementation also did not affect the cell mediated and humoral immune response in goats. Conclusion: Tea seed at 2.6% of DMI and TSS at 0.4% DMI can be fed to Gaddi goats to improve growth rate, FCR and microbial protein synthesis.
