In obesity, adipocytes undergo abnormal growth characterized by increased cell numbers and differentiation. Thus, inhibition of mitogenesis of preadipocytes and their differentiation to adipocytes would be beneficial for the prevention and progression of obesity. In the present study, we attempted to evaluate antiadipogenic activity of adlay (Coix seed, the seed of Coix lacryma-jobi L. var. ma-yuen Stapf) employing preadipocytes cell line, 3T3-L1 as an in vitro assay system. Because several varieties of adlay are in use in Korea, anti-adipogenic activity of three varieties of adlay such as Sang-Gang, Jo-Hyun and Yulmu-Ilho was evaluated. All the three varieties of adlay showed significant inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation as assessed by measuring fat accumulation using Oil Red O staining. Adlay, however, showed little effects on adipocyte proliferation. Further studies with interval treatment demonstrated that adlay exerted inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation via acting on early stage of adipogenesis. Taken together, adlay might be useful in the prevention of obesity.

Halitosis is mainly caused by the presence of volatile sulfur-containing compounds (VSC's) produced by proteolytic periodontopathic bacteria in the oral cavity. Various mouth-rinses have been offered on the market as solutions to reduce halitosis. The aim of this study was to find a potent substance for the prevention of halitosis. The halitosis prevention substance (HPS) from cumin seed powder was purified by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and preparative TLC to yield an oil phase (0.98%). Instrumental analysis such as FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR showed that HPS contained an -OH group, -HC=CH-, -COO-, and long chain acyl group. HPS was therefore determined to be 2-hydroxyethyl-${\beta}$-undecenate. HPS inhibited the growth of Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, by 72.44% and 64.37% at $1{\times}10^{-2}\;M$, and by 99.85% and 91.62% at $5\;{\times}\;10^{-2}\;M$, respectively. It also inhibited the activity of L-methionine-${\alpha}$-deamino-${\gamma}$-mercaptomethane-lyase (METase), which was produced by oral microbes. Furthermore, the VSC production by oral microbes in the human mouth air decreased with increasing HPS concentration. These results suggested that HPS from cumin seed is an efficient halitosis prevention agent.

루핀콩(lupinus angustifolius)의 식품으로서의 가치를 평가하기 위한 형태학적 접근방법의 하나로써 취반시(時) 일어나는 미세구조적 변화를 대두와 비교하였다. 루핀공은 대두에 비해 두꺼운 세포벽과 pit-pair을 가지며 protein body안에 많은 crystaloid를 포함하고 있어, oil seed인 대두와는 상당히 다른 자엽구조를 보여 주었다. 또한 대두에서는 높은 온도($120^{\circ}C$)로 가열했을 때 (20분) middle lamella 구조의 파괴와 함께 세포벽의 손상이 명백하였으나, 루핀콩의 경우 $120^{\circ}C$에서 장시간(130분) 가열했을 때에도 세포벽의 파괴 및 middle lamella의 파괴없이 본래의 자엽세포 구조를 유지하였다.

Safflower seeds, classified as a member of the Asteraceae family, a dicotyledonous plant, contain linoleic acid as a major component, known for its pharmacological effect of strengthening bones. Additionally, safflower seeds have been reported to have pharmacological effects on vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the anti-obesity effect of safflower seed extract by examining its impact on adipocyte differentiation using Oil Red O staining, triglyceride quantification, and GPDH activity measurement. The results showed that safflower seed extract significantly inhibited adipocyte differentiation. Furthermore, we confirmed that safflower seed extract improved body weight, liver weight, adipose tissue size, glucose, and triglyceride levels in a high-fat diet-induced mouse model. These findings suggest that safflower seed extract exhibits potent anti-obesity activity both in vitro and in vivo and has the potential to be developed as a material for future anti-obesity therapies.

본 연구는 녹차씨의 다양한 용도개발을 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 추출방법에 따른 녹차씨유의 물리화학적 특성 및 저장에 따른 안정성 테스트를 하였다. 녹차씨유의 수율은 SGS법을 이용할 경우 수율이 가장 높게 나타났고 비중은 추출방법에 관계없이 $0.91{\sim}0.94g/cm^{3}$ 범위였다. 명도는 SG법을 이용할 때가 가장 밝았으며, 적색도는 PRGS법을 이용할 경우가 가장 높게 나타났고 황색도의 경우는 SG법을 이용할 경우가 가장 높았다. 여러 지방산 중에서 C16 : 0, C18 : 1, 및 C18 : 2가 농도가 가장 높았다. 특히 C18 : 1 농도는 PGS (43.35%) > SGS (42.7%) > SG (39.0%)법의 순으로 다른 지방산에 비해 높은 수준이었다. 포화 지방산 농도는 SG (40.46%) > PGR (31.49%) > SGS (29.96%)법 순이었고 불포화 지방산의 경우는 SGS (69.9%) > PGR (68.39%) > SG (59.41%) 법 순이었다. SGS 및 SG법에 의해 추출된 녹차씨유의 산가는 저장기간이 10일 이후부터는 $6{\sim}8mgKOH/g$ 범위였다. 그러나 PGR법에 의해 추출된 녹차씨유의 산가는 저장기간과 비례하여 저장 60일 후에 49.3 mgKOH/g였다. SGS 및 SG법에 의해 추출된 녹차씨유의 과산화물가는 저장기간 10일부터 60일까지는 60~100 mEq/g 범위였다. 그러나 PGR법에 의해 추출된 녹차씨유의 과산화물가는 저장기간이 10일에서 30일로 증가할 경우 평균 60에서 240 mEq/g로 증가했다. 녹차씨유의 산패축진 작용도는 추출방법에 관계없이 $Fe^{2+}$ > $Cu^{2+}$ > $Cr^{2+}$ > $Zn^{2+}$ > $Ni^{2+}$의 순서로 나타났다. 특히 $Fe^{2+}$이 함유된 녹차씨유에 BHA을 첨가할 경우 과산화물가는 평균 60%가 감소하였고 $Cu^{2+}$의 경우는 평균 63%가 감소하였다. 이상의 결과는 녹차(Camellia sinensis) 씨유는 화장품, 세제, 그리고 식의약품 재료로써 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

For evaluation of rotational accuracy performance of high speed machine tool spindle system, the characteristics of main spindle and tool motion behavior are presented by means of three point accuracy testing method. The results of experiments and analyses are as follows: (1) The high speed spindle rotational accuracy can be evaluated by the combination of the spindle and tool motion behavior. (2) The spindle motion behavior increases up to more that 4 times the tool motion behavior. (3) For the influence of oil viscosity on spindle and tool taper application, 32 cSt of oil viscosity showed the most satisfactory result for rotational accuracy. (4) In order to improve the rotational accuracy of high speed machine tool spindle system, it is needed to reduce the combination error. This can be achieved by improving the working accuracy and supplying the proper lubrication with contact area at the spindle and tool.

White Leghorn hens were fed a commercial formula feeds as a basal diet, which was supplemented with 3 types of plant oil safflower, evening primrose and pine seed, at the 10% level for 3 weeks. No significant changes was found between the basal diet and the oil feeding trials in the egg yolk cholesterol content, the laying rate, the egg weight, and the yolk weight, except the feed intake. In the fatty acid composition of the egg yolk lipid, however, the plant oil feedings to hens resulted in considerable increase of $C_{18:2}$ acid with a simultaneous decrease of $C_{18:2}$ acid ,and, consequently, followed by the improvement of balance with P /S and P /M /S ratio close to 1.0 and 1:1:1, which is known a desirable ratio for human health in lipid nutrition, respectively.

The contents of ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-, and $\delta$-tocopherols in sesame oils were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. ${\alpha}$-Tocopherol contents ranged from 10.28 to 19.79 mg/g oil, ${\beta}$-tocopherol contents from 8.22 to 20.10 mg/g. However, both ${\gamma}$- and $\delta$-tocopherol were less than 1.49 mg/g or not detected. ${\gamma}$-Tocopherol was not detected from both unroasted white and black sesame seed oils. Significantly higher level of tocopherol in sesame oil than other oils is an evidence of the reason why it is highly stable and prevents oxidation. The tocopherol composition for twenty sesame oils was classified by using principal component analysis.

The number of natural products obtained from plants has now reached over 100,000 and new chemical compounds are being discovered ever year. Medicinal and Aromatic plants and their extracts have been used for centuries to relieve pain, aid healing, kill bacteria and insects are important as the antifungal and anti-herbivore agents with further compounds being involved in the symbiotic associations. Although their functions in plants have not been fully established, it is Known that some substances have growth regulatory properties while others are involved in pollination and seed dispersal. The complex nature of these chemicals are usually produced in various types of secretory structures which is an important character of a plant family and also influenced and controlled by genetic and ecological factors. Detailed anatomical description of these structures ave relevant to the market value of the plants, the verification of authenticity of a given species and for the detection of substitution or adulteration. Volatile oils are used for their therapeutic action for flavoring of lemon, in perfumery of rose or as starting materials for the synthesis of other compounds of turpentine. For therapeutic purposes they are administered as inhalations of eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, as gargles and mouthwashes of thymol and transdermally many essential oils including those of lavender, etc. With these current trend for using volatile components in essential oil will be increasing in the future in Korea and in the world as well.
