The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effects of natural colors extracted from yellow natural dyes(Tumeric, Amur Cork Tree and Onion Shell). The water and the methanol extracts of Tumeric and Amur Cork Tree significally decreased the growth of E. coli in vitro and the methanol extract of Tumeric exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect among the samples. Silk and nylon fabrics dyed with water and methanol extracts of the yellow natural dyes showed antimicrobial activities against E. coli and Staph aureus in the Bioassay Test. Nylon fabric dyed with methanol extracts of them showed strong antibacterial effect on E. coli compared with that of water extracts. However, slik fabrics dyed with the extracts could not reduce the growth of E. coli. Silk or nylon fabrics dyed with methanol or water extracts of yellow natural dyes showed antimicrobial activities against Staph aureus. The antimicrobial activity of the fabrics dyed with methanol extracts from Tumeric, Amur Cork Tree and Onion Shell was stronger than that of water extracts, especially, the fabrics dyed with Tumeric extract showed the highest antibacterial property among the dyed fabrics.

Tumeric, Curcuma longa L.(Zingiberaceae) is native to the southern Asia, cultivated mainly in India and has been used for the treatment of hemorrhages in oriental medicine. The ground powder has also been used for flavouring and dyeing agents. In this report, the results of trial cultivation of tumeric in the middle portion of Korea (Kyungi, Shihung) are summarized. The rhizomes used for this trial cultivation were purchased from the Takii Seed Co. (Japan) and planted in the late of April and harvested in the middle of November. The curcumin contents of harvested tumeric were about 0.1% and 0.24% from finger type and bulb type respectively and these are comparable with those of commercial tumerics.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng with different amounts (in ratios of 0, 1, 2, 4% to the total materials) of tumeric powders. The proximate composition and total polyphenol content, antioxidant activities, Hunter's color values, pH, Brix and sensory properties of tumeric hanging were examined. Results of analysis of the proximate composition analysis showed that ash content was increased significantly by adding turmeric powder and the more content of turmeric powder. The higher content of tumeric powder, the higher total polyphenol and total flavonoids contents. Brix and brightness were lowered and yellowness was increased. The sensory properties were highly rated for the control without turmeric powder in four organoleptic (sensory) properties (taste, texture, odor, acceptance) except color. The group with-1% addition of turmeric powder was highly rated in the second place.

To identify the antimicrobial activity, of tumeric and its active compound tumeric was fractionated into four groups dichloromethane extract, hexane fraction, methanol soluble fraction and residue's extract. They were tested for antibacterial activity against E. coil and S. aureus and the methanol soluble fraction was found lo be the most active fraction. Compound I, II and III were isolated from TLC and silica gel column chromatography in the methanol soluble fraction. These compounds were analyzed by $^1H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$ spectra and identified as curcumin I, II and III. They were also tested for antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Curcumin I was the must active curcuminoids due to the phenolic and methoxyl$(OCH_3)$ moiety in the same molecular structure.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality change of fresh-cut tumeric (Curcuma Longa Linne) according to packaging method during storage time. The fresh-cut tumeric were packaged in three different methods : degassing valve packaging (DVP), $CO_2$ gas absorber packaging (CAP) and micro-perforated packaging (MPP). After the samples were packaged, they were stored for 15 days at 4 and $23^{\circ}C$ respectively. The following parameters were observed to indicate the quality changes of the samples: weight loss, CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ colour difference, variation of gas composition inside the package, curcumin contents and changes in hardness of fresh-cut tumeric. DVP did not effectively release $CO_2$ gas to the outside. MPP was suitable to release $CO_2$ gas. However, MPP showed very fast browning and erosion, because a large amount of oxygen was introduced through the perforated hole on the film. CAP was most effective packaging method to inhibit browning, to prevent expansion of the packaging by $CO_2$ gas and to minimize weight loss of fresh-cut tumeric.

This paper searched the affect of Water dropwort and Tumeric on radiation exposure. By experimenting 50 male mouse, ICR type 5 weeks old male 25~30g, 5 mouse was divided in to each group respectively. A : 3 Gy control group, B : 5 Gy control group, C : 3 Gy, FW, D : 5 Gy FW, E : 3 Gy LW, F : 5 Gy LW, G : 3 Gy FT, H : 5 Gy FT, I : 3 Gy LT, J : 5 Gy LT FW : Ate Water dropwort before the radiation exposure. FT : Ate Tumeric before the radiation exposure. LW : Ate Water dropwort after the radiation exposure. LT : Ate Tumeric after the radiation exposure. During the 7 day radiation, Control group (A, B) received physiological saline (500mg/kg/day) in oral administration, LW and LT group (E, F, I, J) respectively received Water dropwort or tumeric (500mg/kg/day) in oral administration after the radiation, FW and FT group (C, D, G, H) respectively received Water dropwort or tumeric (500mg/kg/day) in oral administration before the radiation. As a result, an average leukocyte rate on 5 mouse was 200K/${\mu}L$ on group A. 6.46K/${\mu}L$ on group C which was in normal rate range (1.8-10.7 K/${\mu}L$). An average leukocyte rate was 23.33K/${\mu}L$ on group G. which was not normal rate, but compare to 200K/${\mu}L$, it was closer to normal rate. An average lymphocyte rate was 118.87K/${\mu}L$ on Group A. 1.51K/${\mu}L$ on Group G. which was in normal lymphocyte rate range (0.9-9.3K/${\mu}L$). An average thrombocyte rate was 4000K/${\mu}L$ on Group A. 1107 K/${\mu}L$ on Group C. 2759.6 K/${\mu}L$ on Group G. which was in normal thrombocyte rate range (592-2972 K/${\mu}L$). From this result, it was found that when exposed to radiation, Water dropwort and Tumeric have defensive effect in a preventive level. Also from an animal experiment, it was found that blood corpuscle rate returns to a normal rate. Based on this experiment, diverse research on this field should be conducted.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dyeing properties of silk, wool, nylon and poly(ethylene teraphtlate)〔PET〕 fabrics dyed with Tumeric(Curcuma longa) extracts. The dyeing property and color fastness were investigated by using the extracts and the post mordanting with Aluminum, Copper and Iron salts. In the UV-visible spectra, the maximum absorption of wavelength of the extract with methyl alcohol appeared at 420nm, and that of the extract with distilled water was at 415nm. Increasing the dyeing temperature, the K/S values of dyed fabrics were increased. The optimum dyeing condition was 30∼60 minute of dyeing time at pH 5∼5.6. Surface colors of silk and wool became dark by using mordants compared to those of nylon and PET fabrics. The drycleaning fastness of fabrics dyed with the extracts was good. The laundering and light fastness were improved by using mordants.

Limosilactobacillus fermentum JN2019, formerly named Lactobacillus fermentum JN2019, was isolated from kimchi. Its genome was completely sequenced using the PacBio RSII sequencing system to explore beneficial phenotypes. In a previous study, L. fermentum JN2019 was used to ferment the by-product of tumeric for use in livestock feed. The 2.3 Mb genome had a high guanine (G) + cytosine (C) content of 50.6% and a 30 kb plasmid. The data will inform the comprehensive understanding of JN2019 and provide insights for potential applications.

Natural colorant extracts were obtained by extraction from tumeric root, gardenia seeds, mugwort and green tea using water, methanol, ethanol and acetone as extractants at room temperature for 3 hours under shaking condition(180rpm) with liquor ratio(solid:solvent; 1:100). The main pigment components of tumeric root, gardenia seeds, mugwort and green tea are known to be curcumin, crocin, chlorophyll b and epigallocatechin gallate, respectively. The effects of the kind of extractant and pH on the color characteristics of natural colorant extracts were investigated. The solubility parameters of pigment components were determined to find adequate extractant. The solubility parameters of curcumin, crocin, chlorophyll b and epigallocatechin gallate were found to be 27.85, 29.40, 19.48 and $37.97(J/cm^3)^{1/2}$. As expected, solvents that have a solubility parameter similar to that of pigment component were generally found to be effective to obtain pigment extracts having high visible absorbance(A). The extract(pigment/solvent) with high visible absorbance was generally found to have low $L^*$(lightness) and high Chroma($C^*$, purity).

Physicochemical and antioxidant properties of the three different calorie types of HMR curry rice using fermented turmeric were analyzed in this study. The general tumeric added sample groups showed significantly higher carbohydrate content than the fermented turmeric sample group. In all sample groups, the ratio of protein, fat, and carbohydrate was found to be appropriate according to the nutritional composition ratio as one meal recommended by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The brightness L value of the general turmeric-added sample group was measured to be significantly brighter than the fermented turmeric-added sample group. The fermented turmeric sample group showed a slightly lower pH value than the general sample group due to organic acids generated during fermentation. As a result of analyzing the radical scavenging activity of ABTS, LFTC, MFTC, and HFTC of the fermented turmeric group were 40.20, 40.46, and 36.16%, respectively, compared to those 32.41, 37.75, and 36.16% of LNTC, MNTC and FNTC of the general sample groups, respectively, consistently indicating that more free radicals were generated in the fermented sample group (p<0.01). Relatively unstable to heat and acid, DPPH scavenged radicals showed similar results to those of ABTS radical scavenging activity in terms of activity. Similar results were also shown in the measurement of total flavonoid and phenol content, which are known to have antioxidant antiviral and anticancer effects. Thus we could conclude that pilot products of the high quality varied calorie levels of HMR Bibimbap set with tumeric, which is helpful for antioxidant action have been developed to meet various customer needs.
