The purpose of this study is to determine the antimicrobial effect of tea tree oil a against pathogens relate to acne. Tea tree oil extracted from Australian Melaleuca alterifolia has been studied extensively for their antimicrobial properties against different type of bacteria and fungi. Tea tree oil has been reported to have antibacterial, antiinflammatory and antitumor activities, among others. By evaluating the antibacterial effect of Tea Tree Oil of Australia, the MIC value of Tea Tree oil against P. acnes was 0.05% and 0.5% against aerobic bacteria. This study showed that Tea Tree Oil has antibacterial effect against bacteria which induce acne. Tea Tree Oil had better antibacterial effect against P. acnes compared to aerobic bacteria. It is promising to develop a nature-based functional material for makeup product, which can cure and prevent acne.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibacterial effect of Streptococcus mutans of tea tree ingredient. Methods: The experimental groups were each given with different concentrations (30 or 50 vol%) of tea tree prepared in saline solution. The control group applied only saline solution. The tea tree coating of the specimen were examined under a scanning electron microscope. For the antibacterial activity test of the tea tree, the contact angle of the tea tree- coated specimen's surface was analyzed. The antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans was determined by counting the colony forming units (CFU). The statical statics were evaluated by using one-way ANOVA and paired t-test. Results: The tea tree treated group of hydrophilic more than non treated group. Antibacterial experiments demonstrated that tee tree solution was effective against Streptococcus mutans. However there was no significant difference in depending solution concentration groups. Conclusions: The antimicrobial activity of the tea tree containing solution showed its potential for use as coating for denture and medical materials.

Background: Tea tree oil has antiviral, antimicrobial and antifungal effects and Mastic oil has antifungal and anticancer effects. For synergistic effects of oils, blending oil containing a mixture of two to three oils is recommended. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial effects of Tea tree oil, Mastic oil, and Blending oil containing the two oils in a mixture, to verify and suggest the potential use of these oils as a substance to prevent dental caries. Methods: Tea tree oil, Mastic oil, and Blending oil with a 1:1 blend of the two oils were diluted in liquid medium to 0% (negative control), 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%. Streptococcus mutans was applied to each experimental group of the three diluted oils and after 8 h culture, the optical density (OD) was measured and the growth inhibition rate for S. mutans was estimated. Results: Tea tree oil had significantly low OD values across all concentrations (p<0.05) without significant variation among different concentrations (p>0.05). Mastic oil did not significantly vary in OD compared to the negative control across all concentrations (p>0.05) without significant variation among different concentrations (p>0.05). Blending oil, compared to the negative control, did not significantly vary in OD at 0.5% (p>0.05) but significant variation was found as the concentration increased (p<0.05). Additionally, for Tea tree oil and Mastic oil, the growth inhibition rate showed no significant variation according to concentration (p>0.05), whereas for Blending oil, the growth inhibition rate for S. mutans showed a significant difference at 1.0% (p<0.05) and at higher concentrations. Conclusion: Blending oil containing a Tea tree oil and Mastic oil demonstrated a significant growth inhibition effect on S. mutans from the concentration of 1.0%, which suggested its potential use as an effective antibacterial agent for dental caries.

Objectives : This study is to report a case of Verruca vulgaris in a paediatric patient, treated with korean medicine, primarily focused on Aroma Therapy by Tea Tree Oil(Melaleuca Alternifolia). Methods : A 12-year-old female patient was treated with herbal medicine, Aroma therapy using Tea tree oil due to periungual and plantar warts. photographs of lesions and VAS were used to evaluted the changes in symptoms. Results : The herbal medicine was performed only for first 7Days due to refusal of the patient. So, the patient was treated by only aroma therapy using tea tree oil for about 9 months. After the treatment, the lesions of the patient showed complete clearence and there was no relapse. Conclusions : This case suggests that Korean medicine, especially aroma therapy using tea tree oil is an effective treatment for Melaleuca Alternifolia.

Anthracnose of tea tree, Camellia sinensis, occurred severely at tea plantation of Boseung, Chonnam. Irregular, dark brown spots appeared on tips and margins of mature leaves in early stage. As the disease progresses, the lesions were covered with numerous, small, black, slightly raised pustules (acervuli). The causal fungus of anthracnose was identified as Colletotrichum theae-sinensis (Miyake) Yamamoto. Symptoms by C. theae-sinensis appeared around 20 days after artificial inoculation.

굼벵이는 각종 작물과 나무에 피해를 줄 뿐만 아니라 특히 골프장 잔디에 피해를 주는 주요해충의 하나이다. 본 연구는 18종의 식물정유(anise oil, camphor, castor, cinnamon, clove oil, citronella, fennel, geranium, lavender, lemongrass, linseed, neem, peppermint, pine, rosemary, tea-tree, thyme, turpentine)를 이용하여 굼벵이의 환경친화적 방제 가능성을 알아보고자 실내와 온실, 야외에서 실험을 수행하였다. Cap vial실험에서 홈줄풍뎅이 3령충에 효과가 높은 정유는 anise (88.9%)와 linseed oil (100%) 및 tea-tree oil (88.9%)이었다. 온실 pot에서 왜콩풍뎅이 3령충에 대한 anise와 linseed oil의 효과는 낮게 나타났다. 야외에서 anise와 linseed 및 tea-tree oil의 효과도 대상 굼벵이의 종류에 따라 차이를 보였다. 주둥무늬차색풍뎅이 번데기에 대해서는 tea-tree oil 처리에서만 32.6%의 보정사충율을 보였으나 등얼룩풍뎅이 3령충에 대해서는 anise와 linseed, tea-tree oil이 각각 54.8%, 51.6%, 56.5%의 보정사충율을 보였다.

Occurrence of white scab of tea (CAmellia sinensis) showing numerous, small, circular, reddish or yellowish brown spots on young tea leaves was observed at a tea plantation of Boseung, Chonnam, from May to June in 1992-1994. At the late growth stages, the center of the spot became light gray. The causal fungus of the white scab was identified as Sphaceloma theae Kurosawa. Symptoms were produced 5∼6 days after inoculation by the artificial inoculation of s. theae conidia, which was similar to those on naturally infected leaves.

Effects of mineral salts (N, P, K, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Fe^{3+}$) on the shoot growth and metabolite production of tea tree were studied using in vitro culture techniques. Among mineral s alts, ${H_2PO_4}^-$ was the most important for enhanced growth rate of tea tree, while $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ did not affect plant growth. Removal of ${NH_4}^+$ and $NO_3$ from the culture medium enhanced shoot multiplication compared to other treatments. Metabolite production was variable depending on mineral types and concentration. Removal of $Ca^{2+}$ decreased the production of caffeine; however, other treatments did not influence its production. $Ca^{2+}$, ${NH_4}^+$ and $Fe^{3+}$ were important factors for catechin production in tea tree. These results can be used as the basis for development of technical soil controls suitable for tea tree cultivation in the future.

Bamboo oil의 천연 보존료로서의 가치를 평가하기 위해 합성 보존료인 BHA와 이미 수입되어 사용되고 있는 천연보존료인 tea tree oil을 비교하기 위하여 disc diffusion법과 broth dilution 법으로 S. aureus와 E. coli대한 항균력을 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. Disc diffusion법으로 S. aureus에 대한 항균력을 조사한 결과 BHA>tea tree oil>bamboo oil 순이었고 E. coli에 대한 항균력은 bamboo oil이 가장 강하게 나타났으며 다음은 BHA>tea tree oil순으로 나타났다. 2. Broth dilution법으로 S. aureus와 E. coli모든 시료 6.0$\mu$l/ ml 이상에서 모두 측정되지 않아 모든 시료에서 동일하게 최소억제농도가 6.0$\mu$l/ ml 이상 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 3. Bamboo oil의 이용 개발 시 경제적 조건은 동일한 항균력을 기대할 때 tea tree oil에 비하여 약 20%정도 저렴하여 경제성이 충분히 있는 것으로 나타났다.

지렁이 분변토는 골프장이나 경기장에서 경기력 저하와 잔디 관리의 균일성을 떨어트리는 위해요소이다. 본 연구는 골프장에서 지렁이 분변토 감소를 목적으로 화학적 방제제(bifenthrin GR+clothianidin GR, ethoprophos GR, imidacloprid SC, picoxystrobin WG, thiophanate-methyl WP)와 차나무(Camellia oliefera) 추출물의 효과를 골프장에서 조사하였다. 모든 처리에서 지렁이 분변토 수가 감소하였으며 thiophanate-methyl WP의 지렁이 분변토 발생 억제효과가 가장 높았다. 차나무 추출물 처리도 지렁이 분변토 발생 효과를 보였는데 펠렛형 차나무 종자추출 부산물과 차나무 추출물 액상제형이 차나무 추출물 입상제형에 비하여 효과가 높았으며, 차나무 추출물이나 부산물 처리가 분변토 관리의 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
