  • High-quality and high-phytonutrient watermelon fruits have strong market opportunities besides their health related benefits. Hence, investigating quality and nutritional related traits of watermelon genetic resources could provide important baseline data in breeding for increased lycopene content thereby increasing the marketability of watermelon. To this end, we have examined some fruit morphological traits and lycopene content of 105 genetic resources. The morphological characters were recorded on the field and inside laboratory and lycopene was measured using spectrophotometric and HPLC methods. Watermelon fruits have shown a diverse morphological characters. Red and pink fleshed fruits dominated in the entire collections. Fruits with higher thickness of rind were found to exhibit less soluble solid content (SSC). Korean origin fruits were characterized by intermediate SSC while USA, RUS, TJK, TKM, TWN, and URY originated fruits had the highest SSC. The lycopene content varied between 41.37 and 182.82 ㎍/g, 2.81 and 163.72 ㎍/g, and 3.54 and 255.47 ㎍/g using HPLC, UV-Vis, and microplate reader instrumnets, respectively. Red- and pink-fleshed fruits had the highest levels of lycopene content compared to the yellow- and orange-fleshed. Lycopene content had a significant positive correlation with SSC, however, no correlations were detected between lycopene and other quantitative fruit morphological characters.

  • The amount of Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅵ) in a chromium plating solution could be determined simultaneously within five minutes using UV/VIS spectrophotometer coupled with a flow-through analysis(FTA) setup. The λmax's at 580 nm and 440 nm which correspond to Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅵ), respectively, well obey the Beer-Lambert law in the range over 0.05 g/L for Cr(Ⅲ) and 0.005 g/L for Cr(Ⅵ). when the pH of the sample is less than 4.0, the absorption extinction coefficients of those peaks are not much dependent on the proton concentration. The amount of Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅵ), and the total chromium in post treatment chromium plating solution, which normally has few g/L of Cr concentration, could be easily measured using UV/VIS spectrophotometry after the sample had been diluted with sulfuric acid of pH=1.0 in the flow-through analysis setup; this method is far more convenient and faster than the common redox titration (which requires at least 40 min/sample) method, while the accuracy of the method is highly comparable to conventional titrimetric method. Since the implementation of an PTA-UV/VIS setup in any plating industry is cost effective and easy to operate, the analytic method described in this paper may be applied directly for in situ analysis of plating solutions.

  • Green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is consumed as a popular beverage worldwide, particularly in Asia. In this study, the effects of green tea powder addition on the antioxidant activities and texture properties of cooked rice were investigated. Texture analysis was carried out by texture profile analysis. Total polyphenols and total flavonoids were determined using spectrophotometric methods, and antioxidative activities were determined based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, reducing power, and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity. Antioxidant contents and antioxidative activities increased with a higher amount of green tea powder. However, there was no difference in texture properties between cooked rice with green tea powder and the control group. In conclusion, addition of green tea powder to cooked rice would be useful to increase antioxidant contents and antioxidative activities without alteration of texture properties.

  • The in vitro regeneration and genetic transformation systems in hot pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) have not been routinely available, which has been a major limiting factor in the application of new genetic manipulations. An efficient procedure to regenerate whole pepper plants and to generate transgenic plants expressing a foreign gene was established. A relatively high frequency of plant regeneration was observed when hypocotyl and cotyledon explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA 0.1 mg/L plus zeatin 2.0 mg/L or IBA 10.0 mg/L plus BAP 1.0 mg/L. Addition of AgNO$_3$5 $\mu$M to these media improved the regeneration frequency up to 8%. For plant transformation, hypocotyl and cotyledon explants of hot pepper were precultured on shoot induction media without kanamycin added for 2 days, and then cocultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens pDY183 for 2 days. Putative transformants were obtained from selection media containing 100 mg/L kanamycin sulfate and 500 mg/L carbenicillin. Putatively selected transformants were confirmed by amplification of selectable marker genes (ADA and NPT II) by polymerase chain reacion. Successful transcripts of ADA gene were detected by Northern blot analysis. Enzyme activity of ADA was also examined by spectrophotometric analysis, and expression of ADA gene in hot pepper suggests the potential application of ADA gene as a selectable marker in plants.

  • Rice grains harvested from paddy fields around industrial areas of Kyongin, Iri, and Jeonju were taken and analysed the contents of heavy metals which were considered to be accumulated in those rice grains. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer was applied for analysis of heavy metals such as copper(Cu), zinc(Zn), lead(Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in unpolished rice grains. The content of Cu in rice grains harvested from Iri was the lowest, 2.94 ppm, while those from Seo-Myon, Shiheung-Gun was the highest, 3.65 ppm. The contents of Zn and Pb in rice grains were ranged 20.56~27.21 ppm and 0.38~0.53 ppm, respectively. Cd content were exceptionally lower than the regulated level, 1.0 ppm. The content of this metal detected in rice grains from Seo-Myon was the highest, 0.509 ppm, but those of other areas were much lower, ranged 0.040~0.136 ppm. The present concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Pb in rice grains were also lower than the expected level and below the maximum permissible concentrations.

  • Paddy lands around industrial areas in Gyeonggi and Jeonbuk provinces are increasingly concerned about pollution by heavy metals. This stimulated the quantitative analysis of copper, zinc, lead and cadmium in the soil from the aress concerned. Results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Heavy metal contents of the soil from Sue-Myun, Siheung-Gun, Gyunggi province were 20.95 ppm of Cu, 226.46 ppm of Zn, 84.17 ppm of Pb, and 2.62 ppm of Cd, respectively. Those of Anyang, Kimpo, and Jeonbuk areas were as low as the natural background levels, about 10 ppm. 2. The contentration of heavy metals of the river valley soils tended to increase from upper stream to the lower. This seemed to be caused by the fact tat disposed water from plants flows to the lower stream and metals contained in the water accummlate in the soils around the lower stream. 3. Cadmium content was exceptionally lower than 0.2 ppm in all the areas tested. The present concentartion of cadmium is not of the extent to which any injury could occur to rice plants.

  • This study was conducted to detect lead which is exhausted with gas from running automobiles and is considered to accumulate in cropping lands. Soil samples were taken from uplands and paddy fields with different distance from highways. atonic absorption spectrophotometer was applied for analysis. Results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. In the areas of Seoul toll gate and Jookjeon, Gyeonggi province, soils of fields within $3\~5$ meters from highway appeared to contain $11\~110\;ppm$ of lead. On the other hand, soils outside of $3\~5$ meters showed only natural background level of lead. 2. The maximum concentration of lead in Hwoedeuk area (Choong-nam p개vince) was 16.3 ppm and those of Kimhae and Dongrae areas were about 12 ppm. Low concentration of $1\~4\;ppm$ was observed in the areas, south of Daejeon along the Honam and Namhae highways. 3. Lead seemed to accumulate in the soil surface within the range of 0 to 5 centimeters which anable to expect little translocation to deeper layer of the soil. 4. lost of arable lands locates at least 15 meters apart from highways so that lead concentrations were lower than expected. No damage could be speculated with the present concentration of lead analyzed. This does not deny the necessity to the long term dectect of the possible pollutant.

  • Normal soybean seed contains three lipoxygenase isozymes called L-1, L-2, and L-3, respectively, which are responsible for the generation of undesirable grassy-beany flavors. Simple and effective methods for the detection of lipoxygenase isozymes were developed in soybean seeds. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) has been tried in separating these isozymes. It was done effectively on 7.5% separating gel and 4.5% stacking gel. However, no reliable method has been developed specifically for separating L-3, L-13 and L-23. Visual judging methods were based on the bleaching activities of lipoxygenase in contact with methylene blue and ${\beta}$-carotene. Sodium linoleate bleaching method was adopted to determine L-1 and L-2. Carotene bleaching and spectrophotometric methods were used to determine L-3. These systems were very rapid within one minute, furthermore only required a small piece of cotyledon (below 10 mg) and the other part could be used for generation advance after analysis. It was demonstrated that 200 seed samples could be analyzed per day by one laboratory assistant. The combination of visual judging methods and electrophoresis is suitable for breeding programs. It took 6.5 hours for analysis of 100 seed samples by one person.

  • There are three kinds of liquid petroleum marker which is extracted by the basic or acidic, and both developer. Korean marker, Unimark 1494 DB (marker) have been spectrophotometrically analysed by the determination of absorbance at 582 nm after base extraction by Unimark 1494 DB Developer C-5 (developer). Some blue dyes which have same reactive radical of marker and can be changed deep blue color in base developer extraction (BDE), may be increased absorbance at 582 nm, but dyes or markers which can be increased the absorbance, were not unclear. In this experiment, effects of three dyes or marker such as Orimax Green 151 (the mixture of CI Solvent Yellow 16 and CI Solvent Blue 70), quinizarin and Orimax Blue 2N (CI Solvent Blue 35), and two solvent such as topasol (P-250) and lubricant (P-8) on the absorbance were studied by HITACHI Recording Spectrophotometer U-3300. It shows that all of them increased absorbance at 582 nm after BDE. Absorbance at 582 nm can be showed 0.0544 by Orimax Green 151 at the concentration of 3.96 mg/l, quinizarin at the concentration of 1.38 mg/l, and Orimax Blue 2N at the concentration of 2.73 mg/l in the artificial petroleum (normal diesel oil: topasol: lubricant=2 : 4: 4), respectively. Absorbance, 0.0544 indicates that concentration of marker is 1.64 mg/l in the reference curves, respectively. And also these results can be showed that the artificial petroleum have about 10% cheep fuel such as kerosene which have marker (16.0 mg/l). Absorbance of P-250 was 0.01361-0.22842 depending upon the purchasing date, and that of P-8 was 0.05644. pH of developer was 14.83, and so this result indicates that Unimark 1494 DB is a base extractable petroleum marker, phenylazophenol (US Patent No. 5,252,106). In the BDE, the slight color of Orimax Blue 2N, Orimax Green 151 and quinizarin in artificial petroleum changed to deep bright blue color, respectively. These result indicate that the absorbance at 582 nm by BDE may be increased not only by azo, diazo, amine and ketone (anthraquinone, coumarin) dyes or markers, but also the contaminants of P-250 and P-8 which have same as reactive radical of dyes or markers.
