The aim of this study was to promote extensive use of strain gage for accurate measurement in the area of farm machinery research. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Although many strain gate transducers commercially available such as load-cells , accelerometers and pressure transducers have been used in the area of farm machinery research, many types of transducers had to be developed due to the inadaptability or high cost commercial transducers, in many instances. 2. A strain -gaged cantilever beam could be used as a good educational material to demonstrate the methods of Wheatstone bridge arrangement, calibration and theoreticval computation. A ring type load-cell and shaft torque transducer also could be used for the same purpose. 3. The torque and angular speed transducers for an auto-feed thresher and the displacement and pressure transducers for a rice whitener were made and gave satisfactory results. 4. Based on the above results, it is possible to develop simple and low-cost transducers to measure displacement, angular speed , torque and pressure of farm machine elements.

By using sequentially efficacy tests based on tyrosinase, the key enzyme of melanogenesis, then a cell line of melanocytes cultured in vitro, we have been able to detect the whitening potential of a plant extract and then to develop a new whitening Active Ingredient whose the whitening potential was confirmed on cultured melanocytes. Through a phytochemical approach, it seems that the whitening potential could be due to the "tannin" fraction of plant extract. A complementary work is planned to explain more precisely which fractions are responsible for the whitening potential and a clinical test is in progress on 30 Asian skin type volunteers to show the whitening efficacy on human volunteers.

인스턴트커피는 보통 커피크리머 또는 탈지분유와 설탕을 섞어서 커피믹스라는 불리는 형태로 사용된다. 커피믹스의 맛은 커피에 혼합하는 성분에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 본 연구의 목적은 커피믹스의 제조 시에 혼합하는 성분이 커피의 향기와 맛에 미치는 영향을 GC-HS-SPME로써 분석하고, 맛을 평가하는데 있었다. 8종의 시판 커피믹스와 각각에 사용된 블랙커피 8종을 제조회사로부터 제공받아 분석에 사용하였다. 커피믹스에 사용하는 대표적인 혼합 성분인 커피크리머나 탈지분유 등 커피 whitener 는 자체의 향기는 매우 약해서 향기성분의 정체를 확인할 수 없었으나, 이들을 블랙커피에 넣었을 때에는, 블랙커피일 때와 비교하여 휘발성 향기성분이 증가 또는 감소하는 변화를 확인하였다. 이러한 효과는 두 가지 종류의 커피 whiteners에서 확인하였으나 탈지분유보다는 지방이 많고 점성이 높은 커피크리머에서 더 잘 보여주었다.

천연물에서 피부 미백 효능을 가진 화합물을 개발하기 위한 노력이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 꽃송이 버섯(Sparassis crispa)은 β-glucan의 함량이 건조중량의 40% 이상으로서 항암과 면역증강 효과가 있는 것으로 입증되어 약용으로도 인정받고 있다. 이 연구에서는 S. crispa β-glucan의 멜라닌 생합성 및 tyrosinase 활성억제 효능을 확인함으로써 피부 미백제로서의 활용 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 외부 자극제인 α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH)와 S. crispa β-glucan (10, 100, 1,000 ㎍/ml)을 B16F1 melanoma 세포에 투여하여 멜라닌 생성량과 tyrosinase 활성도를 측정하였다. Tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), TRP-2, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)의 발현정도에 대해서는 western blot으로 분석하였다. S. crispa β-glucan을 10, 100, 1,000 ㎍/ml의 농도로 투여하였을 때 α-MSH 만 투여군에 비하여 멜라닌 생성이 각각 13.9%, 18.7%, 39.5% 감소하였다. S. crispa β-glucan을 10, 100, 1,000 ㎍/ml의 농도로 투여하였을 때 β-glucan을 투여하지않은 α-MSH 유도군에 비하여 tyrosinase 활성도는 각각 15.6%, 26.9%, 43.2% 억제되었다. 또한 tyrosinase와 TRP-1, TRP-2, MITF 단백 발현도 효과적으로 감소시켰다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 S. crispa β-glucan은 MITF 발현을 억제함으로써 tyrosinase 발현을 감소시켜 멜라닌 생성을 억제시킨 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 S. crispa β-glucan은 미백제로서 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

In order to provide a basic information for the government policy in the future, rice milling costs of Small Capacity Farm-house Rice Whiteners (SCFRW) were estimated by surveying and analyzing the major factors to affect their costs. Two types of SCFRW having one stage and two stage milling process and two rice varieties, Tong-il and Akibare, were considered for their cost estimation, respectively. Also, their costs were compared with those of Private Custom-work Mill in order to determine its economical feasibility. The results were concluded as follows; 1. Major factors to affect the costs were annual milling quantity, purchase price of SCFRW and grain milling loss. 2. Total milling costs of SCFRW were a function of annual milling quantity. These costs decreased rapidly as annual milling quantity increased. 3. In comparison of milling costs between single pass type and double pass type SCFRW, the former was more economical than the latter. 4. Also, in comparison of milling costs between two varieties by using SCFRW, Akibare was less expensive than Tong-il. 5. In comparison with private Custom-work Mill, both single pass and double pass type SCFRW were less economical than private Custom-work Mill. 6. In order to have an economical feasibility, SCFRW should be designed and developed to reduce its milling loss and purchase price.

The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis L.) is a red-grained legume that has a number of essential nutrients and is used in traditional dishes in Asia. Adzuki bean industrial by-products are also a potential low-cost source of some unique bioactive polyphenols. Hence, here, the authors aimed to perform a comparative study of the phytochemical profiles of the leaves and seeds of the adzuki bean and compare their antioxidant, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition, and tyrosinase inhibition activity. The authors assessed antioxidant activity by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, PR, TPC, and SOD assays, which showed wide variation, respectively. From the relative antioxidant capacity index results, 10 adzuki bean landraces were selected to compare for phytochemicals and bioactivity using leaf and seed extracts. Antioxidant, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition, and tyrosinase inhibition activity in the leaf extracts were higher than in the seed extracts, and there were more flavonols and isoflavones in the leaf extracts than in the seed extracts. This study demonstrated that adzuki bean leaf extracts could be a new natural antioxidant or antidiabetic agent and a skin whitener and can also be used in industrial applications.

Rice whitening is performed by basically two different whitening actions known as abrasive and frictional. The former adopted in the emery stone abrasive type whiteners and the latter in the jet-air friction type. Comparative milling yields and whitening efficiencies between the whitening system consisting of jet-air friction type whiteners only and the system consisting of both abrasive- and jet-air friction-types have not yet been rigorously defined. This study was to examine the effect of combined operations of abrasive- and jet-air friction-type rice whiteners on milling yields and whitening efficiencies. The small capacity commercial units of the abrasive- and friction-type whiteners were used for the experiments. The combinations of whitening treatments were: 1) Once in the abrasive type and then two to three times in the friction type, 2) twice in the abrasive and then two to three times in the friction type and 3) three to five times in friction type. In these tests, counter pressures for the friction type whiteners were established differently as required to get about the same degree of whitening at the end of predetermined numbers of the repeated operations. The speed of emery stone and the slot angle of the screen were also the factors varied in the abrasive type whitener. Sheukwang rice variety having 13.05% M.C. was used in the tests. The dependent variables were the milled- and head-rice recoveries and electricity consumption. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. It was found that in the whitening systems consisting of abrasive- and friction-type whiteners slot angle of the screen, the rotational speed of emery stone roller had significant effect on the milling yields and whitening efficiency. In general, the increase of the emery stone roller speed from 690 to 950 rpm presented a positive effect on milling yield, and one-pass abrasive milling combinations had higher milling yields than two-pass abrasive milling combinations. 2. It was apparent that if the slot angle of the screen and the speed of emery stone roller are modified and set at an optimum level, the combination whitening system consisting of abrasive- and friction-type whiteners is better than the pure frictional whitening system consisting of jet-air friction type in terms of milling yields and efficiencies. 3. In the rice whitening system consisting of abrasive- and jet-air friction-type whiteners, the best whitening performance was obtained when the slot angle of the screen and the rotational speed of emery stone roller were $45^{\circ}$ and 950rpm, respectively, for the one-pass abrasive milling combinations. However, for the two-pass abrasive mi11ing combinations, the best performance was obtained with $75^{\circ}$ of slot angle and 950 rpm of the emery stone roller speed. 4. As compared with pure frictional whitening systems, the combination systems produced more milled rice by 0.8-1.0% point and more head rice by 0.5-1.5% point, and consumed less electricity by 0.15-0.20 KwH per 100kg of milled rice when the abrasive whiteners were operated in the modified conditions as described in item 3 above. Further study is recommended to find out optimum operational and design conditions of abrasive type whiterners.
