The conversion characteristics of the major components of Liriodendron tulipifera were investigated during acid-catalyzed organosolv pretreatment. Glucan in L. tulipifera was slowly hydrolyzed, whereas xylan was rapidly hydrolyzed. Simultaneous hydrolysis and degradation of xylan and lignin occurred; however, after complete hydrolysis of xylan at higher temperatures, lignin remained and was not completely degraded or solubilized. These conversion characteristics influence the structural properties of glucan in L. tulipifera. Critical hydrolysis of the crystalline regions in glucan occurred along with rapid hydrolysis of the amorphous regions in xylan and lignin. Breakdown of internal lignin and xylan bonds, along with solubilization of lignin, causes destruction of the lignin-carbohydrate complex. Over a temperature of 160℃, the lignin that remained was coalesced, migrated, and re-deposited on the surface of pretreated solid residue, resulting in a drastic increase in the number and content of lignin droplets. From the results, the characteristic conversions of each constituent and the changes in the structural properties in L. tulipifera effectively improved enzymatic hydrolysis in the range of 140℃-150℃. Therefore, it can be concluded that significant changes in the biomass recalcitrance of L. tulipifera occurred during organosolv pretreatment.

The necessity to develop economical and eco-friendly technologies is steadily increasing. Plant growth promoting rhizomicrobial strains PGPR are a group of microorganisms that actively colonize plant roots and increase plant growth and yield. Pot experiments were used to investigate the potential of some rhizobacterial strains to enhance the Brassica rapa growth. Microbial strains were successfully isolated from the rhizosphere of Panax ginseng and characterized based on its morphological and plant growth promotion characters. Surface disinfected seeds of Wisconsin Fast B. rapa were inoculated with the selected PGPR microorganisms. The different pots treatments were inoculated by its corresponding PGPR ($10^7cfu\;mL^{-1}$) and incubated in the growth chamber at $25^{\circ}C$ and 65% RH, the light period was adjusted to 24 hours (day). NPK chemical fertilizer and trade product (EMRO, USA) of effective microorganisms as well as un-inoculated control were used for comparison. Plants harvested in 40 days were found to have significant increase in leaf chlorophyll units and plant height and also in dry weight of root and shoot in the inoculated seedlings. Root and shoot length and also leaf surface area significantly were increased by bacterial inoculation in sterile soil. The study suggests that Rhodobacter capsulatus and Azotobacter chroococcum are beneficial for B. rapa growth as they enhance growth and induced IAA production and phosphorus solubilization. This study presents some rhizomicrobial strains that significantly promoted growth of Wisconsin Fast Plant B. rapa in pot experiment under different soil conditions.

합성한 sorbitan laurate SP 20의 CMC 값은 약 $7.216{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$로서 옥틸페놀 에톡실레이트 OPE 10에 비하여 약간 크지만, CMC에서의 표면장력은 26.0 mN/m로 OPE 10에 비하여 작았다. 또한 SP 20의 경우에는 OPE 10 계면활성제와 비교하며 공기와 수용액의 계면이 계면활성제 단분자에 의하여 포화되는 데 더 많은 시간이 소요되었다. SP 20 계면활성제 수용액의 접촉각은 계면활성제 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 동일한 계면활성제 농도에서 OPE 10에 비하여 접촉각이 큼을 알 수 있었다. OPE 10과 SP 20 계면활성제 수용액의 거품 반감기는 각각 770, 1268 s로서 SP 20 계면활성제가 OPE 10 계면활성제에 비하여 거품의 안정성이 크며, 이러한 결과는 표면장력 측정 결과와 일치하였다. OPE 10에 비하여 SP 20의 가용화 속도는 매우 낮으며, 이러한 결과는 foam stability, 접촉각 및 CMC 실험 결과와 일치하였다. OPE 10과 SP 20 시스템의 평형에서의 계면장력은 각각 0.659, 0.742 mN/m으로서 비슷한 값을 나타내었으나, OPE 10의 경우에는 비교적 짧은 시간 내에 계면장력이 평형에 도달하는 것에 비하여 SP 10의 경우에는 계면장력이 평형 값에 도달하는데 약 25 min이 소요되었다.

The effects of salt and bicarbonate solution on overall meat quality in beef biceps femoris muscle were investigated with the application of chilling and freezing conditions. Muscles were injected to a target of 120% of original meat weight with a solution containing 1.2 M sodium chloride, 0.25 M sodium bicarbonate and 0.1% ascorbic acid (pH 7.2). Half of the meat samples, considered as chill treatment and chill control, were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ up to five days; while the other half, frozen treatment and frozen control, were kept in a freezer at $-20^{\circ}C$ for seven days. Compared with untreated control, treated meats had higher water holding capacity (p<0.05), lower drip loss (p<0.05) and lower shear force (p<0.07) with higher overall acceptability (p<0.05) in sensory evaluation. Morphological observations demonstrated smooth and gummy meat surface due to the solubilization of myofibrillar proteins and the distortion of connective tissue in treated raw meats; and in the case of cooked meat, treatment caused the fragmentation of myofibrils, which might be responsible for a lower shear value in salt-bicarbonate treated beef biceps femoris muscle.

The objective of this study was to find an optimum methane yield condition in anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge with microwave pretreatment. The pretreatment process was carried out using a lab scale industrial microwave unit (2,450 MHz frequency). The digestion efficiency of pretreated sludge was evaluated by biochemical methane potential (BMP) test. Box-Behnken design and Response Surface Analysis (RSA) were applied to determine the optimal combination of sludge mixing ratio (0 to 100%), power (400 to 1600 W), holding time (0 to 10 min) and pretreatment temperature (60 to 100℃). BMP test results showed that Volatile Solid (VS) removal efficiency was up to 48% at a condition of 0% for mixing ratio, 1600 W for power, 5 min for holding time, and 80℃ for pretreatment temperature. Methane production was up to 832.3 mL/g VS_removed at a condition of 50% for mixing ratio, 1000 W for power, 5 min for holding time, and 80℃ for pretreatment temperature. The results of the variance analysis (ANOVA) showed that the p-value of the power and pretreatment temperature among the independent variables were significant (p<0.05), and in particular, the pretreatment temperature significantly affected on the solubilization and methane production. The optimum condition for the maximum methane yield (847 mL/g VS_removed) was consist of 38.4% of mixing ratio, 909.1 W of power, 4.1 min of holding time, and 80℃ of temperature within the design boundaries.

Tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$(TNF), a polypeptide hormone secreted primarily by activated macrophages, was originally identified on the basis of its ability to cause hemorrhagic necrosis and tumor regression in vivo. Subsequently, TNF has been shown to be an important component of the host responses to infection and cancer and may mediate the wasting syndrome known as cachexia. These systemic actions of TNF are reflected in its diverse effects on target cells in vitro. TNF initiates its diverse cellular actions by binding to specific cell surface receptors. Although TNF receptors have been identified on most of animal cells, regulation of these receptors and the mechanisms which transduce TNF receptor binding into cellular responses are not well understood. Therefore, in the present study, the mechanisms how TNF receptors are being regulated and how TNF receptor binding is being transduced into cellular responses were investigated in rat liver plasma membranes (PM) and ME-180 human cervical carcinoma cell lines. $^{125}I$-TNF bound to high ($K_d=1.51{\pm}0.35nM$)affinity receptors in rat liver PM. Solubilization of PM with 1% Triton X-100 increased both high affinity (from $0.33{\pm}0.04\;to\;1.67{\pm}0.05$ pmoles/mg protein) and low affinity (from $1.92{\pm}0.16\;to\;7.57{\pm}0.50$ pmoles/mg protein) TNF binding without affecting the affinities for TNF, suggesting the presence of a large latent pool of TNF receptors. Affinity labeling of receptors whether from PM or solubilized PM resulted in cross-linking of $^{125}I$-TNF into $M_r$ 130 kDa, 90 kDa and 66kDa complexes. Thus, the properties of the latent TNF receptors were similar to those initially accessible to TNF. To determine if exposure of latent receptors is regulated by TNF, $^{125}I$-TNF binding to control and TNF-pretreated membranes were assayed. Specific binding was increased by pretreatment with TNF (P<0.05), demonstrating that hepatic PM contains latent TNF receptors whose exposure is promoted by TNF. Homologous up-regulation of TNF receptors may, in part, be responsible for sustained hepatic responsiveness during chronic exposure to TNF. As a next step, the post-receptor events induced by TNF were examined. Although the signal transduction pathways for TNF have not been delineated clearly, the actions of many other hormones are mediated by the reversible phosphorylation of specific enzymes or target proteins. The present study demonstrated that TNF induces phosphorylation of 28 kDa protein (p28). Two dimensional soidum dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) resolved the 28kDa phosphoprotein into two isoforms having pIs of 6.2 and 6.1. The pIs and relative molecular weight of p28 were consistent with those of a previously characterized mRNA cap binding protein. mRNA cap binding proteins are a class of translation initiation factors that recognize the 7-methylguanosine cap structure found on the 5' end of eukaryotic mRNAs. In vitro, these proteins are defined by their specific elution from affinity columns composed of 7-methylguanosine 5'-triphosphate($m^7$GTP)-Sepharose. Affinity purification of mRNA cap binding proteins from control and TNF treated ME-180 cells proved that TNF rapidly stimulates phosphorylation of an mRNA cap binding protein. Phosphorylation occurred in several cell types that are important in vitro models of TNF action. The mRNA cap binding protein phosphorylated in response to TNF treatment was purifice, sequenced, and identified as the proto-oncogene product eukaryotic initiation factor-4E(eIF-4E). These data show that phosphorylation of a key component of the cellular translational machinery is a common early event in the diverse cellular actions of TNF.

본 연구에서는 유자박분말(YP)에 효소처리하여 불용성 식이섬유를 수용성 식이섬유로 전환시키고, 효소처리한 유자박분말(EYP)을 이용하여 유자과립을 제조 후 이의 이화학적특성, 제형안정성과 기능적 특성을 알아보았다. 유자박분말에 CL을 처리할 때 48.68%로 가장 우수한 가용화정도를 나타냈다. FE-SEM으로 YP와 EYP의 미세구조 관찰결과 효소처리 후 표면 불규칙하고 다공성이 됨을 확인하였다. YP에서 EYP로 변함에 따라 총 식이섬유의 함량은 비슷하지만 SDF는 1.5배 증가하였고, IDF는 2배 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, SDF/IDF는 3배 증가하였다. 식이섬유의 구성성분인 hemicellulose는 3배 감소하였고, cellulose는 2.5배 감소하였다. 유리당은 YP에서 galacturonic acid와 arabinose가 없었으나 효소처리 후 각각 1.64, 2.91 mg/g DW 생성되었다. 효소처리에 따라 설탕은 30% 감소하였으며, 포도당은 2배 증가함을 보였다. EYP를 이용하여 5가지 유자과립을 제조하였고, 이화학적 특성과 기능적 특성을 조사한 결과 유자과립의 pH는 3.25-3.28, 산도는 3.42-3.84%, 당도는 8.7-8.9°Brix를 나타냈다. 색도는 V의 황색이 21.57로 가장 높았으며, EYP의 함량에 비례해 황색이 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 제형안정성은 전체적으로 보았을 때 15% EYP를 함유한 IV가 용해도를 제외한 수분보유력, 유지보유력, 팽윤력, 흐름성에서 각각 1.07, 2.36, 2.60 g/g, 20.09 Arctano으로 제형안정성이 우수하였다. 플라보노이드 함량은 narirutin, naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin을 측정하였고, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 EYP의 함량에 따라 증가하여 IV (15% EYP)와 V (20% EYP)가 7.69 mg/g으로 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다. 항산화능과 tyrosinase저해활성능은 IV에서 각각 68.4, 82.5%로 우수함을 보여, 전체적으로 유자박이 많이 첨가된 과립이 항산화능과 미백효능이 뛰어났다. 본 연구의 데이터를 종합적으로 볼 때 유자박분말에 효소처리를 통해 수용성이 높아지는 유자박분말을 생산하였고, 이를 이용해 제조한 유자과립은 기능성식품으로 가치가 높을 것으로 예상된다. 또한 소비자의 건강에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 기능성물질을 포함한 제품 개발 역시 증가하는 추세이며 본 연구에서 제조한 유자과립은 naringin, narirutin, hesperidin, neohesperidin 등의 기능성 플라보노이드, 식이섬유, 유산균을 함유하고 있어 산업적으로 이용가치가 높을 것으로 예상된다.
